I have a 10 x 11 room where I have about 27 antminers. I've created a hot/cold aisle using a heavy duty tarp. I have (4) 3,000 cfm gable fans for intake and exhaust. 2 fans on the cold side and 2 on the exhaust side (along with a 450 cfm exhaust fan on the very top of the room for excess heat). I also have (2) 14,000 BTU AC units on the cold side too.

Are there downsides to having the (2) 3,000 cfm intake gable fans blowing directly onto miners from about 3-4 feet away? I've noticed the miners perform very well in this setup and temps are good. I'm afraid though that with all the air blowing onto the miner intake fans that it will burn them out or damage them, etc. I basically feel like I'm overclocking them with the air inflow but not sure.

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this?

I have seen similar setups and I would say there is no downsides to having those fans blowing straight towards the miner intake fans. Typically I have seen the gable fans all used on the hot side for exhausting hot air, but it should work the way you have it too.

Ignore scammers on Skype, Telegram, etc. I will only ever contact you via forum PMs. See profile for fingerprint.

You should focus more on removing the heat then pressurizing the intake side with fans. It will pull air through passive vents just fine.

Also, why are you running air conditioning? You are using the least efficient AC units possible, those semi portable types. Do they even run on 220? You really need to look into a better cooling solution, AC is not the way to do it.

I wouldnt blow intake fans right onto the miners, just because the air turbulence can cause those front fans to die faster than normal.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Shouldn't be an issue, static pressure might be the only thing to consider.

The only thing I would worry about in this setup is outside debris and corrosion. Do you live in an area with a lot of dust/pollen? Is it humid or near water?
