Yeah, I am in the Bay area cali... quite a swing of issues to deal with each season...  Especially being in the cuts like I am.  Indoors sometimes it seems like it probably is dustier in my house than it is in phillip's shed... lol

Just got back from array.

now have

4 pc's with gpus in buysolars basement

3000 sols  for zec say 1300 watts

2 ⅓ s-9s
½    r4
3   721 avalons

53th  for   btc     say  6100 watts

I get ½ the coins and free power  

So  
0.173 btc a month for the zec
0.357 btc a month for the btc mining

0.530 btc a month for the array my share after all cost

0.760 btc a month for in home zec before power which is maybe

0.600 btc a month after power.

1.130 btc a month net = really good.

all mobos paid
all psus    paid
all wires   paid
all asics   paid

maybe  3000 worth of the gpus  not paid.

I have to look at records , but I think as of today  I am at my all time best position  ever in the cryptoworld.

Hi guys hoping to get some feedback on my room plan:

https://i.gyazo.com/d73e10a2ce32e0198c927a095e8f.png

#1 is my current plan: pull cold air in from the window and push them over rigs with fans behind each rig, then pull hot air out from the front of the rigs and use an exhaust fan in the ceiling to collect hot air and exhaust it out of the roof.  This should be sufficient cooling for about the ~105 GPUs I can fit on that shelving unit

HOWEVER! I would like to leave open the possibility of expanding in the future without having to move the exhaust fan's ceiling location. So I was wondering if #2 would work if I double my size. As you can see I'd be using fans on the ground to push the incoming air up at all the rigs but I'm unsure if that 15 ft (4.5m) is too much distance to hope to carry the air.

Fwiw, I'm dealing with 75-85 Fahrenheit (24-29c) ambient temps

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Getting this as efficient as you can is HVAC math.  I'm good enough at HVAC to be dangerous, but I do my own work and haven't ever screwed anything up majorly.  Your most limiting factor is probably input and exhaust air volume of the room based on the opening sizes.  I'd calculate that first and then the fans you have pushing the air over the rigs may be an issue or a bonus, but if those are portable, easy to cope later.  You want input and exhaust as far away from each other in the room as possible.  Ideally you also input from near or in the floor and exhaust from the ceiling or very near as well.  Guessing is why most home cooling systems are inefficient, almost nobody nobody does the math, they just slam in a too big or too small system and cash the checks.

What type of fans are you going to use for input and exhaust?

My room is about 17x12 ft.

My window is 54x34 in and I was going to mount one of these 3150 cfm fans in the window (next to the screen) for pushing air in: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ventamatic-20-in-High-Velocity-Floor-Fan-HVFF-20UPS/202795625

And this 5000 cfm fan for air exhaust in the ceiling.: http://www.homedepot.com/p/iLIVING-5000-CFM-Power-30-in-Single-Speed-Shutter-Exhaust-Fan-ILG8SF30S/207174738

I just learned its supposed to be a 2 to 1 exhaust:intake ratio so maybe I should find a slightly less powerful fan for air intake?

The fans I am planning to use behind each rig is the 550 cfm version of this fan, easily portable so yeah I can cope with issues pretty easily: http://orionfans.com/products/dc-fans/item/od254.html

In the front of each rig I was going to put a line of 5 x 180 cfm fans where the GPUs end

I didn't know the exhaust should be far away from the intake as possible. I thought I could put the shelving unit right by the window (close to the cold air) and use tarps to control the hot air side and try to exhaust it immediately right there.

Appreciate any advice!

the intake fan has 3 speeds  so set it on medium or low.

I suggest  making hot air guides with this

many sizes.  

it will cut down noise
it will keep hot air contained
it is fire resistant

easy to use
a good scissor
a staple gun
some metal tape

build this hot air/heat/sound guide  for under 200

I use it in my solar array

Thank you! That seems a lot better than simple tarps. I like this

Dogecoin, what do you guys think, good investment?

 DOGE had it's day a few years back, then folks saw through the meme to the lack of adoption and abandoned it.
 It was never intended by it's original devs to be more than a "joke" coin.

 The final nail in the coffin of it's long-term viability was when the devs decided to allow DOGE to be merge-mined.

 Might be interesting as a short-term or daytrade option, but long term it's a corpse.

Phil..... can you spare a few coins to test this baby out?

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138439

Biostar RACING Z270-GT9

6 slots !

This could be a nice board for the 1080ti or array of 1070s

 It doesn't work as well, because the slots are too close together - that's AT MOST a 3 card board without risers.

 It's also BLOODY EXPEN$IVE.

 Might be a good board for the AMD WX series GPUs, but those are so crasy-high priced it's not cost effective.

I have a 4 card build idea

Yeah  next build coming up is :

this mobo  I have it

I do keep a spare part of each just in case

I will going forward on my 3x katana 1x 1080ti founder edition build.

I have an issue  I am power capped for June 1  summer rate rise.  Well more like heat capped for the garage.

This means I need to sell this card

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126109                    @  439

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HDUVJ1I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?    @  419


I prefer to sell to usa.

maybe $345.67 USD in btc  includes shipping to usa .  I do sell to other  countries  but shipping will be added.

I will toss in 1 new riser   from this seller  

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDZ5H14/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?



note no original box I have a box for some other card  to pack it in.

I need to look at  the garage setup very closely  to get heat low.


I have a taker for the asus strix 1070 card.

In the meantime  while cleaning stuff up I realized newegg included a 10 off 100 coupon with the msi aero 1080 ti I got last week.  So I grabbed a second rosewood stealth case and 4 of these fans

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835132027

if I use them for intake  and use some delta's or scythe ultra kaze as exhausts  I should have a cool case

I want everyone to be ready and prepared there is a nasty worm virus going around
If you get it you have to disconnect your pc  from your local network.
As of right now there is no way to get the data back off the drive.
This is a window back door worm scanning the  internet looking for this back door access point on windows pc.
They have this access due to the NSA getting hacked and these  tools getting released. .
Windows has released fixes for this problem but you have to manually update yourself.

Looking at buying PDUs and obvious basic ones are a lot cheaper than monitored ones.

How important are the metered/monitored features to you guys? They cost more so I'm trying to decide if it's worth the extra money.

I like to be safe with my setup but not wasteful with spending

Yeah, one of the things I hate about new product purchasing.

I will admit; the small thin form factor is going to allow a LOT of people to upgrade to a beefy gpu for once, and I think that's a huge reason why they are going to be popular...

I fucked up I misread the facebook reply  I got in early may  I could have got 10 with a discount


  DO NOT POST SESC LINKS

I am down about it because I messaged them in early May  I explained that I would do a thread here.  I wanted a deal  and I misread what he told me.

I read no discount and clicked the facebook message  closed.  I then ordered one card did the thread.  I went back to order 2 or 3 more on the site  and was only able to order 1 unit.  Sold out.

So   I went back to face book messages  and went to send a new message to ask when they come back in stock.

So the facebook messages follow each other  and when I looked at his answer this time I read no discount  for a few.  I realized he said discount for 10

underneath it. So I rushed back in early May and fucked myself.



So I ended up with 2 cards at full price  not 10 with a discount  and I wrote the thread that most likely sold the gear out.

Same thing with the pandaminers.
Although  a made a few dollars on the one I got.  maybe 180-200 bucks.

I really wanted to do the two  3 + 1 build.  If I read his message I would have grabbed the 10 and did three 3 builds

a 3 + 1
a 3 + 1
a 4 + 0


I will settle with two  1 + 2 builds instead. I hope it teaches me to not misread  a message on facebook
