leaving home with 5 gpu miners paranoid of fire safety

[jillscarbrough]

sound nice, an option 4. you spend an additional budgeting for buying these parts, and maybe also the electricity bill increases because the AC keeps on alive.

in short a story, you go vacation and you always check the RIG on the web using a Mobile phone or Laptop in Airport, on Taxi, in a hotel or everywhere and every time you want. The atmosphere of 3 months of vacation becomes anxiety atmosphere. Although the holiday destination was for fun.

better choose option 5: You canceled the vacation

I don't remember the last time I've been in a three months vacation...

Anyway I always shut everything down when I'm away for more than two days: better safe than sorry.

I went out of country for a week about a month ago. I was going around in circles about leaving my rigs on, but at the last second i decided that i would turn them off. Im kinda worried even going of to work for 9 hours. The rigs put out alot of heat!

i will mostly ended up mining during night hours and early morning hours and off during day. For A/C looks like wi-fi wall with scheduler app available so can schedule it to urn 1-2 hours during evening to remove residual heat accumulated during day.
There is going to be unavoidable anxiety, so will probably make my final decision on the day before

they would be helpful  get the big one it is large and covers a lot of area

If somethings is going to happen it will happen in a few hours, not days or months. It can happen when you go out for shopping. I would probably choose option 3, but it seems that you will worry too much, so maybe it's not a bad idea to sell everything and buy newer (and maybe faster) cards in 3 months.

OP, I think you left out something. While you are gone, in addition to apparently running these cards full out, you need to earn at least $25/day per card to pay for your vacation. 

OP, your question is somewhat ironic, given the number of forum topics of people trying to run their cheap cards at their max settings, with the smallest power supply, for the longest time.

My vote is with the dial back crowd (which is what I do). Usually dialing back also increases efficiency and decreases SW crashes.

Another dial back method would be to mess around with the max temp settings of your mining software. I believe Claymore mining SW will actually dial back to not exceed the max temp that you set. So you could set the temp to stay lower than your default and this would also have the effect of throttling back the cards.

This is a bad idea.  If you can't have someone access your rigs while you are gone I would not leave it running. 

If you have Windows 10 running and have NOT disabled automatic updates you may as well shut your rigs down now. 

If you are determined to leave them up and running dial the clocks down, set temperature and power thresholds down.  This will extend the life of your machines and potentially avoid burnt out fans and power supplies.

further thought: ))
- Construct a wireless remote controller mini-toy-car on which mount the camera and the fire extinqguisher.
- Mount fire extinguisher will need some actuator arm to be able to spray and direct the foam in case of fire.
- Both cam and remote toy car will need to have enough batteries or home-in to charging station for replenishment like zoomba vacuum cleaner.
- SMS or email or siren or any combination thereof that can send off notification regarding environment temperature exceeding pre-set level.
- wi-fi Remotely controlled doorlock so in case of fire, neighrborhood or fire enginer personnel can enter withou breaking door.
- Home internet is not perfect and someimes goes offline completely in which case you have to walk up to router to reset it manually. So plug in the router to smart wall socket and schedule 5 minutes of power-off during midnight to reset in case if happens. With that max off-time is a week.

After that I think I can sleep as if I have completely turned off everything.
