Is it feasible creating a mining farm in an apartment?

[Mastker]

If you got a spare room with a window to put in some vent fans and wont overload your electrical setup then go for it.
I don't think apartment is per se the best structure for a mining farm, but a few rigs of 4-6 cards should be fine.
You start doing a actual farm without being able to get your electrical prepared and you risk not only destroying
your apartment and belongings, but also others and possibly harming/killing people.
Ideally you'll want a nice ventilated garage, a storage shed in the back yard something like that for your average farm.

In my place, every apartment has 100A supply with 240V. So we can install quite a few rigs.

If your ambient temps are low then you can lower fan speed of GPUs. In that case noise shouldn't be a problem.

I maxed out 100A service in a 525sq.ft. studio.  6x 6-card 1070 rigs, 6x 7-card 470 rigs.  If I wanted to use the stove I needed to switch out the server PSUs.  If I wanted to use the microwave I needed to shutdown a 470 rig.  I wore heavy-duty noise canceling headphones during the day and slept with earplugs in.  I made it through fall, winter and spring in Chicago.  Obviously I never turned on the heat.  Once the outside temperature started getting above 60F in spring it would get to about 80F inside despite the massive fans and airflow I had setup.  I made enough money in 9 months of living like this to buy a house and scale up.

Is it possible?  Yes.  Does it come with sacrifices?  Yes.  You decide if it's worth it.

you got 12 rigs... hope you bought a nice house with a nice 30tons a/c for a medium shed in the backyard

it is necessary that conducting was normal, old wires can not sustain tension.

I think he is joking.

has anybody thought about using the heat as an advantage , lets say for

"growing strong potent smelling plants" , im not sure about the forum rules but you can read between the lines

I live in a 2 room apartment with my girlfriend, she is very supportive of my mining. heat is not an issue thanks too cold climate (sweden), but noise is starting to get to her All profits go to make her happy about the noise, its contra productive

Good for you that you do have a cold country on which it does reduce the heat being produced by those miners but you cant really get rid of the noise no matter what and you should tell your girlfriend that she must got used to it because she will still able to get those mining profits later on. For op, 1500w/socket or on the entire series? If entire series then it would accumulate 2 miners as far as i know.

I think the heat from GPU mining is not enough to grow that kind of plant. The humidity is not right.

Wow stop it guys. Everyone is suggesting as if it is really possible even though he can get rid of electrical mess. But what about the heating and high decibel sounds that will produced during noise. Do you really think nobody will complain about you for being so much noisy. The noise of miners are so heavy you couldn't really bear that without empty space. The heat is always dangerous no matter how it produces. If you read few of the article around the internet then you can see how bad heat was even when people were mining into non residence zone and having a pretty good set up. It is mandatory to have good quality of ventilation system in place to keep everything smoothly running.

Lol you are a really funny guy. I live in Montreal Canada (city with over 4 mil people). I live in a duplex and less than 4 inches away is the next building on each side. I am currently running 4 S9 and 1 T9 in my room and i moved my bed into the living room. Also bought 7 1080 and going to run those in the same room. I have 1 12k btu a/c in the windows (planning on getting another one for when the heats gets higher) and i also have 2 S9 and my T9 that are in isolated ducts and have their exhaust go directly outside. (which causes a negative pressure but etc etc.)

TL;DR I have a 100A apartment and I am running 4 S9 and 1 T9 and planning to run some gpu miners. So it is very possible.

I am setting up the same setup in an apartment I will move in to next week, how do you deal with the noise? I made "silent boxes" and plan on attaching a duct from the exhaust fan and out the window for all 5 antminer machines I have. For intake, the intake fan will be placed inside the box as to control the noise but I was wondering should I attach a intake duct to each box or will having an AC keep ambient/cold temperature in the room enough?

How big is the apartment? If it is anything less than 100 sq. meters i would highly discourage it. You would have a headache with all the humming fan noise and you would have to device effective cooling solutions. A simple rig or tow will do, but not a farm.
