8 Kw/Hr in one room? Possible?

[joshv06]

Okay. Does this seem better:

4 rooms, 3 rigs each, 3 houses total (1 Breaker in each house, of course).

NO! Just fucking host them!

Have you ever been in a server room? The step is quite steep versus watercooled stuff.

If you split it up like that I don't see an immediate problem... Bit did you get MPP? If so your power usage will go up when you upgrade.

I worked at HP for a year, server tech. Server rooms the size of football fields. lol. What do you mean the step is quite steep?

I am in batch 1, so yes.

A watercooled computer is more or less silent. 12x 4U boxes are nothing near silent.

Don't fuck up your ears is all I'm saying.

Yeah my 4x 7970s were water cooled. Loved it. Just low speed fans.

Can someone tell me the the phrase to search to find places to host physical rigs? I forgot what it was called.

I can help you out with hosting, check the link in my sig.

I bought 12 HashFast Babyjets, that use 350 Watts each. (4.2Kw/hr total)

Do you need 4.2 kW or 8 kW like it says in the title?

4.2 kW is easy, that's less than an electric oven or an air conditioner.  You just need to get an electrician to run 240V @ 40 A.  You can do 50A if you want 8 kW.

If you have anything else electric (dryer, oven, AC) you'll probably need 200A service.

Jeesh, I had enough problems with heat running 4xGPUs.  Small, timber frame, very well insulated house.  The 4 GPUs were raising the temp of the back bedroom by 5C compared to the rest of the house.  The noise was shocking too, and the GPUs were in quiet cases (Fractal Design Define XL). 

Even in the winter, that room had the radiator turned off and the window open, and it was still too warm.

Those things would be best run in a garage or a shed in the garden.  Not in your house.

Hey guys,

I am a total electricity noob. I know a bit, but could use some help.

I bought 12 HashFast Babyjets, that use 350 Watts each. (4.2Kw/hr total)

I wanted to know if it was possible to pull that much electricity out of 2 wall outlets (2 with 2 ports each).

Right now, the breaker trips at ~1400 Watts. (15A breaker)

I have 3 locations I can host these at, but would prefer them to be all in my room.

I know I am going to have to upgrade the breaker (calling electrician tomorrow), but is this possible? Is there a limit?
Would anything have to be done to the wiring?
Would this cause any problems throughout the house?

Thanks!

It all depends on the socket wire diameter and the ampere of it. A heavy duty socket can go up to 10kwh.

The wiring behind the socket is massively more important.

[crazyates]

If you're thinking of having an electrician come in, have them install a 220V line with a 30A breaker. That should handle the majority of your load, and be a little more efficient at the same time.

Like fingernails on a chalkboard to an EE.

"the ampere of it"  Arrrggghhhhhhh!  Ouch.

kWh = units of energy

kW = units of power

I am actually referring to that. The wiring diameter. Calculator here http://www.csgnetwork.com/wiresizecalc.html

It's a disposable socket.  Change after every 10 kWh.

You need to map out the breakers in the house.

1. Go to circuit breaker box, turn ALL the breakers off except the main one.
2. Number the breakers.  One two three four etc.
3. Turn on ONE breaker.  Go through the entire house with a small light or something, plug it into every outlet, and see which outlets have power.  Leave all light switches on so you can see which lights are on which breakers.
4. Write on the wall cover plates of each power outlet which breaker number feeds them.
5. Repeat until every breaker is mapped out.
6. Then, AND ONLY THEN will you be able to split the load properly and safely.

If you don't do this, YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!

Be sure to know what your doing, you don't wanna burn something.

Wow this was all informative and also humbling for 1 the amount of combined knowledge on these forums and 2 that a guy that seems to only have 1 room in a house can afford that many asics and I can't...lol.
