Keeping the heat out, summer time mining...

[TheHas]

Serious miners are in locations that don't require additional costs for cooling.  You maybe should quit mining or only do it in the colder months for the free heat.

Haha that's ridiculous. If we're supporting decentralization of currency through blockchain, then that concept can equally apply to mining that cryptocurrency.

What you are suggesting is that only big centralized operations with cheap electricity and who are in cool locations should mine. That thinking is the opposite of what most cryptocurrencies are about.

If he do mines without minding too much about profitability but rather making this as a sort of hobby then quitting wont be possible yet he had made

some good arrangement with his GPU's and same as you said if you are serious with mining you would considerate the condition of your place when it comes to climate.

Right thing to do i think. But in my country, there are a lot of miners that go because of hype and never think about cost to do it. And now some of them are already quit with sell their GPUs in cheap price and they loss in their investment.

In my country it's hot, but not as extreme as in other countries,
GPU without using air conditioners such as fans or air conditioners is still able to operate mining.
Even if winter comes, you need a heating device for the room, but not for my GPU

Please, show us the one GPU that doesn't require active cooling for its work. You simply can't cool such highly efficient machines with passive cooling only.

I understand that he is speaking about additional fans.
As for me - if you have large amount of GPUs in one place - you have to use high quality ventilation system but for 1-3 rigs it isnt necessary.

Ventilation in mining is generally a separate item of expenditure. For example, I think this is a very important point. There is no good quality cooling - there is no normal mining.

If you will use industial ventilation for 10-20 GPUs - you wouldnt have normal mining. The expenses for it installation and service would exceed the profit. Try to calculate.

We all would want to use liquid cooling for all our GPUs, but you need to face the fact that its not cheap and it also takes up too much room.

GPUs can survive much higher temps than humans. Its basically no differerent than a car. A car just uses the outside air to cool the engine and its sufficent. And with a GPU its no different.

Just have a good intake and exhaust setup with a low/high pressure setup and the air should get quickly sucked out of the room. Depending on how many GPUs are in that room, you probably shouldn't sleep there due to the heat and noise however.

Summer is coming and the issue of cooling the room and equipment is becoming more and more urgent. I think you need to buy additional air conditioners. I'm already very hot in the room.

[cepot9]

this is amazing bro, you do the right thing by using an inline fan the miner will stay cool even though the weather is very hot even though people recommend using air conditioning but it will make a large and unprofitable cost, the inline fan does not require a large fee but is very worth it

[dentolas]

nice setup 
I don't like air conditioning as it is a relatively expensive equipment and it uses a ton of electricity... I would prefer to buy some GPUs instead 
The ventilation trick is always the same: fan to get the cold air in close to the floor, exaust fan to take the hot air out near the ceiling (hot air rises)
Usually this is the base

I now wonder if it makes sense to pay for ventilation? If it is possible to put farms in underground buildings as many do. I'm talking about floors that are at 50-100 meters deep or in abandoned mines. The temperature there is close to zero and your farm simply will not be able to get very hot. Thereby you save on cooling.

I havent seen such solutions. I dont sure that it always would be cold there. It can be that some time later, maybe week or month or a year it would become hot and you`ll need to make much more ventilation works as usual.

Didn't you read the thread? , no miners use air conditioning to cool their rigs. Depending on how many GPUs you got in your place, one air conditioner might not be able to keep up with all the heat.

Also you need to consider that if its hot outside then the air conditioners will be even less efficient because you need it to cool the room from outside heat and also from the heat generated by GPUs. It won't work.

You need to get a good ventilation setup and use a fan for fresh intake from outside and use another fan as the exhaust and stick it near a window so it sucks the heat outside from the room.

It will be very noisy and hot and you probably shouldn't sleep in the same room.
