Hello guys!

We are planing to build a big mining farm.
For now we have a power of 3000 MHS. We are planing to add 3000 more in ethereum mining rigs and 15 antminers.

The question is:
Do you have any advice about cooling?
For now it is ok, but during summer that might be a problem. Any advice about what kind of building is better to use, what kind of cooling system, etc. would be great!
Thanks!
Hello,we using big industrial fans, one of this blows 15000-25000 m3/h, we takes the cold air from the factory premises, and blow out hot air to the street. For example i have a 8 Classic (6gpu each) Mining rigs, on the winter when +5 - +10 enough fan of 800 m3/h, the air conditioner have a less efficiency, but on the summer you don't have a way.You need to cool the air. So it's need to be combined solution.

hello, you can easily do calculations to determine required airflow based upon size of your room/s and watts/btu's of your gpu (close estimate). Talk to an experienced commercial hvac installer in your area. You start with a rough idea of watts, estimate btu's per card, use the internet to find avg and high temps for your area, and then calculate cfm (cubic feet per minute or metric equivalent) you will need to maintain the temps.

 maybe more experienced miners will share acceptable temp ranges & settings they run their specific cards at (in mid/large scale operations) during summer? rx 470/480/570/580 would interest me the most, as well as results LONG TERM with older generation r9 290x/gtx 970/etc cards that have been running for a few years at this point- anyone ?? of course ballpark figures would be helpful!

probably the solution can be either with OR without a/c

when considering your location, I would suggest that thermal mass (large concrete slab or concrete/brick building is good) & amount of building insulation (more insulation, takes longer time for building to heat up in the daytime) might provide an advantage as far as regulating temperatures. as well as large filtered intake & exhaust area/s.
