Mininig with Air Conditioner ???

[kral_658]

I have 4 pcs mining rigs. Each of them has 12 GPUs RX570 4GB.
Total 48 GPU. I want to use air conditioner for cooling.
What should I do ? is it safe to use air conditioner ?

cold air and hot air in the same room is a problem ?
I dont care about the profitibality I just want to know is there any problem if i use air conditioner ?
The cold air dircetly to the rigs or somewhere else direction ?

if there is anyone use air conditioner, please help me. I want to be set up a proffessional system.
7kw air conditioner is enough ?

most of us like to vent the hot air out of the room.


7kw air conditioner is not what I need to know

how many btu does it do?

you have 48 card that can pull 150 watts each that is 7200 watts 1 watt of heat is about 4 btu

so you produce about 28,000 to 30,000 btu.

you ac would need to cool more then 35,000 btu.


I would also like to mention you won't be able to use your 48 cards past nov or dec of this year. They won't work on eth or other algos.

it will help you to understand all those cards will become useless for mining very soon.

24000BTU air conditioner.
4200W power for 48 GPU+ mobo.
The room seems cool. No any heat problem so far. I feel cold air in the room.

But i fear if any type of hardware failure hot air and cold air in the same room.
I dont want to use ventilation system. I want to use AC.
Should i send the cold air directly to the rigs ?
i use wall mounted split AC.

It's not necessary to point the cold air direct to GPUs, but there's no specific problem of doing this if you want
It's better if you study the air flow of your room with your rigs and make the best choice with your air conditioner

The only problem to GPUs and board in general is to blow cold air if the board is too hot, but it's for long time, can do some micro ruptures on solder, but I don't see this problem in your room and rigs
So make some tests and watch the temps, no problem

Do not believe the watts the miner reports, that is the power load of the core only, gpu whole is 130 watts or more and x 48 = 6240 watts, each watt is = 3.4 btu, so 3.4 x 6240 = 21200 btu, so 24k btu seems okay even though you think your 48 gpus use 4200 watts ehhe

24k ac consumes around 2200 watts. Not worth unless each card earns 5 usd per day ehhe, but if you want to keep it clean, tidy and cool, that is the way. 33% more electricity spent, a good exhaust will consume around 150 watts, 10 times less.

Where I live it can get really hot during the summers and in my experience, AC doesn't do much for the rigs. What you need is a good exhaust to vent out the hot air outside.

[john1010]

nowadays it is not practical to mine cryptos and using aircondition, I've been a miner since 2015 and mining in a tropical country, in my experience a good ventilation is enough to cool down your gpu's. If you are living in place that has good temperature, no need to use an AC, and by the way if you are using AC it will give a not good outcome with your rigs, because if you are not doing some good config in your AC system, it will cause static in your machine.

[kral_658]

I dont mine ETH. So, the power consumption is low. 48 GPUs eats only 4200W
The income isnt important. This is my hobby. I want to see everything well running, clean and tidy.

The AC system is the inverter one. The power consumption is 400W-2200W. It changes all the time.
Static will be problem ? or any other problem ?

My rigs are running on the same room with the AC for a few days. There is no any problem so far.
The AC doesnt blow the air to the rigs directly. The room is enough cold.
I set autofan option in HiveOS. The temparatures of the GPUs are 59c-66c.
I dont want GPUs are so cold. 59c-66c is enough for me. In this way, the AC system eats lower WATT.
The important thing is the GPUs has no dust, no overheating.

Even if you are mining to get some coin - whatever it is. You can always mine ethereum - get more cash this way and then convert it to whatever coin you want to have/keep.

If air condition does not blow directly into rig then it is ok.
Also GPU can easily run at 75*C. The Max temperature for most GPUs is 90*C and this is too much usually.
Also fans in GPU should not run on 100% so if they are running at 60% then you are all set

I had air conditioner that wat takin 5kW and cooling with power of 15kW.
Rigs that were in that room were taking about 25kW, so air conditioning was cooling but had not enough power. Room temperature was 30*C.
They were running or a 2 years in that conditions and they have totally no problem and running even now almost 3 years. GTX 1070 8GB.

It looked like this: https://youtu.be/F9_2WBalUF8

And you are right, it is clean and without dust.
Currently i have air cooled GPU farm and the dust is there
Actually dust is not bad, the worse are those flying worms which always get somehow in

When I saw the topic title at first I was afraid that Bitmain introduced some new device which is mining-enabled (like their LTC-mining router) 

When air conditioning you should also watch out on the humidity of the room. That's something different than regular air flow generators.

You have really good set up

1- Your total power 25kw at the wall ?
2- Your AC has 15kw cooling capacity and eats 5kw ?
3- I see you have pipes on the ceiling. do they blow cold air from AC or is it for exaust fan for the hot air ?

I live in a really hot region with %70 humidity in summer seasons.
The dust is a big problem for me. Fan of the GPUs fails after everal months. And yes ! I sometimes see some flying worms in the rigs area.
I cannot stay in the rigs area when the rigs has any problem. So, i decided to use AC.
I dont think about AC price and its eating power because we can use the electricity bill for taxes.
Mining is my hobby. I dont need the profit from it. Of course, i get money but i always tries to mine different coins in different algos.
I want my stuff clean without dust and working in good conditions.

That is the thing people dont understand, with temps around 40c or more, during summer or in tropical places, air conditioner does not work unless is totally sealed off and it does double than 3.6 btu per watt. The ambient air will make ac useless if otherwise.

when people are mining with air conditioned rigs. you sell your coins and RUN!  

Exactly, but we are not quite there yet hehe, crypto has to rise a lot yet, remember the $20 per card per day? hehe, this week, crypto reached $1 per card per day again, so there is a lot to go before that.

the trick or the gamble here is if you keep the coins of that 1$ a day per card mining and sold that coins at 20$ a day per card mining, works like you also mined a 20$ per card back then too.


that scenario will send some mining devs in heaven limbo just like claymore and wolf hehe

we were never at $20 per card lol what are u talking about, maybe $20 per rig you meant.  Im not talking about mining eth back in 2016 and holding to resell for a profit of $20 plus or more per card.  I don’t remember a sustained $20 output per card for daily ming profits

Vega on monero was around 20 usd per card and gtx 1080 on dgb was crazy too, around 15 usd. Polaris got as high as 10 usd per card on peak, january 2018.

I got into mining when it was LESS profitable than it is now, waaaaay back in 2016, and even then It boggled my mind how much I was earning. I told everyone I knew to get it, alas almost noone listened.

2 pcs 24000BTU air conditioners set to 23c and maximum fan speed.
Both of them eats total 3400W power thanks to inverter technology.

26 pcs  RX570 4GB + 96 pcs P106 6GB
11 pcs rigs work well.
The rigs cleaned from dust. There is so small dusts now but it is no problem.

There is no high temp problem although i live in a really hot place.
I like my new system so much.

Using AC for in the mining room is OK .  i have setup some humidity and temperature monitors which triggers notifications via mail and i can go and fix the issue .Just make sure the AC setup is suitable for your need.

Is very much okay, just make sure the cool air is dry air and no problems at all. The good thing is almost dust free, the bad thing is cost, I mean, a very good exhaust fan uses 150 watts, the ac that resembles the exhaust fan in efficiency uses 3000 watts, that is 20 times more. Pro miners would use those 2850 watts to add more mining rigs ehhe.
