I mined in my basement and my cards were 62C with the fans at a very low level. Tada  btw if you seriously mined in the fridge, where would you get power from? It's a sealed container. |

This I would think Peltier would be the only way to get sub-zero or very cold (Celsius) temps for long term & stable usage. Its was a pain(worth it tho  ) to get proper insulation, power supply and temp management on my CPU using TEC. Trying to cool GPU's with phase-change, Refrigeration, or TEC would consume so many resources it seems pointless from a profitability standpoint at least. From a non-profitability standpoint having sub 0c temps is pretty awesome. |

I think anyone using an AC to run thier cards is a stupid fool and also one whom is killing the planet at uneccesary boosted speeds.
Just fucking underclock the cards when it's summer time, Dont turn your fucking AC on!

In my mining room the windows are open +1c outside keeps it cool............. The hottest GPU r 68c @full load
I close 1 window when there gets colder in winter

yeah, go the pro-planet, eco green route and just stand by your GPUs and just blow on them every once in a while |

>refrigerator
>freezeI'll assume you meant freezer. As long as there is no moisture, and not so far below that the oil in the fan bearing freezes, it should be fine. |

what is the ideal depth for geothermal cooling? Has anyone tried setting up a rig in the sewers?

Yes, geothermal cooling the sanest suggestion in this thread. Bury a water loop or an air duct i.e. make a trench with a maze of bricks to draw air through.
Peltier-cooling! Did you sleep through physics class? Peltier has at best 5% efficiency worse than AC = increase your power usage 20 fold.

Wow i get that much hatred for telling people not to run an AC?
Just fucking wow, Open a damn window or turn a fan on.
I dug a trench in my lawn, Filled it with piping, and have geothermal cooling on my CRAPTACUTLAR $600 mining setup (piping cost included)
You dont need the damn AC on.
