it's too hot in the room!

[Grumo]

sun is high , i have installed conditioned air  and a professional fan in the drywall that move away hot air from the rigs space and a table cooling fan that move air on the rig. but temp is still 37° in the room. i have only 7 gpus now. when hot arrived i had to shut down 14 gpus because of this! this has become my nightmare, when i wake up i feel it has been too hot there in the night! gpus are at 65 °
air conditioned is not always on, i cannot . but with open windows air come in
what to do? what's happening? i hope winter come soon so i can come back to mine

[Lafu]

gpus are at 65 °

Should be no problem at this Temps 60° - 70° !
Fans should be run always!

You must take the hot air out on the room you must have an exhaust fan to sucks the hot air out from the miner.
Because if you are just using air conditioner without taking out the hot air from the room it mixup heat and cold.
So, you must have a proper air circulation to make your room cooler.

I used specialized freon fueled refrigeration coils.

Not only hot but how can you sleep with all that noise?

[lunobird]

Air conditioning. Lol. Stupid newb

38° near the rigs, open windows. i dont use air conditioned. but i guess if i would like to mine when it's hot with more stuff i have to use it. . people help me . it is already the second time i have to sell all in april and when its hot i dont mine.

Not only hot but how can you sleep with all that noise. 

yes thereisnt much noise

I have put the rigs of my colleagues in the server room so we don't suffer much from the heat but with your situation you can only hope that summers passes away soon , which it should and hope that autumn is a cool one.

Anyway if the temperature of Gpu-s are less than 70 most of the time it is a good thing. Remember prolonged working hours with not the right temperature will shorten a Gpu lifespan, theorically though as I have seen people with 71 degree temperature running since 2016 so practice shows otherwise.

You should not worry as long as temperature is below 70.

Your GPUs can survive the 37C ambient temperature no problem, the problem is human habitation at those temps.

Either get an intake -> exhaust box fans and put in your windows.
Turn off some GPUs.

Basically a 10,000 BTU can remove like 3000 Watts of heat so could be up to 20 GPUs. That's only if your ambient temp is cold however.


Or just get a server chassis and put the exhaust out the window.

GPUs can handle somewhat high temperatures pretty fine (around 65-80C). I have seen people running their mining rigs at 85C for 3+ years with no problems (R9 290 cards aka heat blowers).

To get the temps. down, just move the hot air out of the room you have your rig in.

[Faraha_JJJ]

Better go with exhaust fan and put additional fan to ensure you don't break the rig. One has to be careful while mining , hot air can mess up performance and through put.

Have you tried to use afterburner software?
try to set the temp to 70 degrees on afterburner software it prevents to get your miner hotter.
Make sure your graphics card is far from the other cards so that the hot air from other cards not sucking from the other cards.
like the other said exhaust fan it is one of the important to exhaust all hot air from the room.

For a hobbyist heat is the main issue.

I ended up with my 9 card rig in a stair well where the heat can rise and its hot as a mother but the cards are all 68-70 c.

The key is its isolated to an extent from the cooling for the rest of the house. The heat pools in the upper stair well but its closed off.

I spent weeks trying to find a spot where I could deal with the heat.

yes, R9 series (290,290x,390) can run at that temperature even 90C for 3 days, but 80-90C isn't good for other hardware especially USB Riser can melt (that's what I experienced) and sometimes Rig can restart itself, until now to reduce heat all my Rigs using assembled VPM (Delta), this method pretty good (for me).

Well, previously when I run my GPU hot, I got a melted riser.

You sure you didn't accidentally use bad wiring to get that melted riser? Such as a poorly connected +12V?

Because its very rare for an riser to melt due to GPU heat. The GPU might run at 80-90C but that's at the chip level, the rest of the PCB is most likely around 50-60C and shouldn't be able to melt the riser.

This is actually the first time I am hearing something such as this.

of course not

And other things I've experienced when the GPU gets too hot:
- PSU cable and connector from/to the GPU melts
- GPU paste processor quickly dry
- GPU fan loosens quickly because it is forced into the maximum rotation (R9 290 sapphire).

Same here... Never heard of of such!

Whoaah 80C+ is fine bro?
