I'm going to pm you with a few questions I have!

graphic cards dont exhaust in a particular direction other then up as the heat rises..you may want to space your exhaust fans evenly along the length of the racks..really no other choice to go higher unless you have more floor space..placing cards in a row one after another is not the optimum cooling solution since each card heats up the next..each card has a hot side (heatsink) and cool side (riser)..you may find going to three high and spacing the cards hot/cold/hot will work better..ie if hanging the cards on racks instead of parallel to each other hang them flipped 90 degrees

This isn't true for my experience.  You can feel the exhaust coming out of the backs of my cards (opposite to the I/O).  I had my cards hanged vertically before, and it was terrible.  Changing the orientation saved me 30% on my temperatures.  When the cards were hanging the exhaust shot right back up into the card since heat rises.  I don't know if it's just my 6161kr 1060's, but that's how it is for me.  I agree with heating up the card to the next.  I suppose I'll just have to find racks that are the right size.

I'm not familiar with "dew points".  However, the intake vent is from a larger 100,000 sq ft warehouse that's dry.  That's where new air comes in.  I don't think I should be affected by any moisture then.  Am I wrong?

Hello everybody!  I have 4 gh/s of gpu miners in a space I rented out nearby.  It looks like my 10000 cfm exhaust and intake vent are cooling it enough and my power situation is fine.  However, power density is now my issue.

I'm looking for a rig-building solution that does the following

- Allows me to build higher without heating problems.  Rigs are currently below 75 in 100-degree weather.  Most are in the 60's.
- Looking to exhaust the cards all in the same direction.

Currently, my cards are all exhausting away from eachother and into the next rack.  It works like this.

Intake vent > Card exhausting left > card exhausting right > space between rack > card exhausting left > card exhausting right > space between rack > exhaust fan.

The room is in the shape of a small storage container.  It's only 250 square feet so there's not much room to work with. My intent is to make it a wind tunnel.

Therefore,  my design needs to be like the following.

Intake vent > card exhausting right > space between rack > card exhausting right > space between rack > card exhausting right > exhaust fan.

This way the airflow will go in one direction in addition to the pressure drawn from the exhaust fan.

The first pic on this article is very much how my rigs look.  I put them each back to back so that they don't exhaust into eachother.  I put my rigs on metal racks that go 2 rigs high. 

Below is a picture of somebody going 3 rigs high.

Anybody with bigger farms want to share their info?
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer A3 only 1 chip detected. Details inside. Help? on: January 26, 2018, 10:01:45 PM
Only chain #3 is detected and I'm hashing 276 gh/s.  

When I setup the miner I had all 3 detected and hashed for about 15 minutes.  Afterwards, the asic was showing only 1 detected.  I've tried restarting, reseting, changing power supply cables, and changing power supplies.  I even tested all power supplies and they all work.

Is there anything I can do before sending it back?

Sounds like its dead, probably a good idea to start warranty claim process with bitmain.

Other than that, the only other thing you can check: make sure you're using a good 1500w+ PSU, if you were using less than that you may have damaged the miner or the PSU failed to provide adequate power and it damaged itself.

If you continue using it, I recommend you drop the frequency to 525mhz from the default of 600 as it seems the A3's run way too hot unless you got some great cooling.

Anything optimistic you can do to help Cheesy?  Give me some hope.

Check your PSU, if it's a good 1500w+ PSU and its working fine the only thing you can do is power cycle the miner and hope it comes back.

If you used an underpowered PSU or a low quality PSU, unfortunately there isn't much hope based upon what you've reported so far.

evga supernova 1600w p2.  Is there any custom firmware for the a3?
