Looking for suggestions/recommendations about heat generated through mining. We are currently running 6 1080 ti rigs (8 cards each) on 2 metal shelving units. They are in a 2 car garage with a 700 CFM exhaust fan and I'm still getting temps around 105-110 in the room with outdoor temps averaging 78-82. Any suggestions on how to bring the temp down to a more manageable number? Watched a video on youtube of a guy running his rigs in grow tents but it seemed a little sketchy to me. Anyone else doing this? Thanks in advance for the help guys.

Is there a recommended sq ft per rig ratio? I thought 380 sq ft would be plenty for the heat to dissipate with a decent exhaust fan. We are wanting to expand but obviously can't at this level of heat.

700 cfm exhaust is vey low  just use the TPD vs AC cooling calulation

in your case 48 108tis at 250 tdp each is 12000 watts of power you need to exhasust at minium

https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/Watt_to_BTU.html

so thats around 40k btus of heat so then convert that to required AC tonnage needed then from there to

CFM.

yeah i could do all this for you but whats the fun in that lol

There are many guys running their mines now located in outdoor huts using just box fans to move air. There is a a guy on YouTube that lives in central Florida and keeps his running 24/7 outside in his screened porch. Clearly, they are not affected by the humidity! Thankfully where I'm at the average temperature has been around 10F since November. My mining rigs (in my basement) have saved me about $750 in heating costs this winter already.
