Nice setup.. have a small 120 GPU setup that i had running in a spare bedroom.. I was venting hot air out via a maxair 24 inch fan.. HOA required i move my rigs to an area where they could not be heard.. Have moved it to the garage for now.. Heat is my biggest problem.. cant drill holes in the walls..

Planning on opening a door from the garage partially and making an additional screen door and mounting an exhaust on it.. how loud are the QuietCool AFG PRO-3.0 Attic Gable Fan Model fans (Red ones)

How many have you or others had to use ?

Also most of the PSU are the HP Server PSU.. they are super efficient, each 1200watt (@220V or 900W @110V) is powering 4 gpus (Rx570/ Rx580) as long as ambient temp is under 87F they work great.. any higher the PSU are like jet engines ! i have just 24 of these and they are the main reason for all of the noise Sad

... any idea how to isolate or reduce the noise.. dont want to buy new PSUs..

Ugh so jealous. My shitty garage farm with ~100 GPUs looks like a joke next to this.

Oh, Come on! 100 GPUs is no joke!

Yeah but they look like a joke. You've got a nice clean pro setup. I have a disaster of wires, mismatching shelves, and hardware!

Nice, but this topic was 8 months ago, when mining was very profitable, how about today?
Which video cards, which coins and how many profit?
How much you pay for kWh?

Im curious because my rig with 8x RX470/570 give me only $8 per day and i have very expensive electricity, im thinking if is better to sell all my rig.

just wanted to thank this thread. Setup my shed in january and this summer has been great. no heat in my house and miners hover at 74c max for the worst gpu's.

Thanks.

Shed isn't perfect for sure, but it works. Looking into making some changes, updates when I have time. My studies keep me swamped. Tongue

I would suggest to invest in a small de-humidification unit, its worth the investment to protect your kit.

Look up some info and specs : https://www.munters.com

PM if needs prices etc... Grin

That's a pretty good idea for propping up the GPUs. Are you worried about unequal air flow over the GPUs that are at different heights in relation to the fans?

The top shelf is a bit warmer than the rest, but it really isnt an issue.

great project, i havent read the entire thread but what have you come up with for reducing moisture in the air and filtering

my garage is set up similar, although much smaller scale.. but i leave the back door open for fresh air intake and air pushes out through ridge cap in the roofing and soffit vents

I've not solved the humidity issue, but i foresee it being a huge problem. I have found corrosion on one GPU. This must be resolved ASAP!

I'm open to suggestions. Is there some large air blower that i can feed air into the shed that doubles as a dehumidifier or something? I need to set up some conditioning of the air.

hmm thats really fast

I run my gpus in the winter here in MN and im at around 30% humidity with half my rooftop exhaust fans turned on
If i turn on too many humidty drops further but I have 200 gpus and some asics , and ive never seen rust or mould.

Im confused as to why you humidity is so low, my gpus are in a garage as well

humidity is too high.

What's your plan for a power outage? Any UPS System? Generator? Wait it out?

Wait it out, if i stop mining momentarily its fine. Plus, that RARELY happens. During Hurricane Harvey, my lights didnt even flicker.

What about a recycled air system with a dehumidifier. Or pull the air in and run several dehumifiers in the tubbing.

I have been neglecting the GPUs a bit lately, but I have time to resolve some issues now. I have tried different ways to mount the GPUs, and we have found the best simple way to prevent GPU sagging. Using the waste ends of the 1x4s and some binder clips the GPUs have better support.

Before:

After:

This is like $12 for all those clips! Who needs to spend a bunch of money on GPU suports? Make 'em your self!

We made a short video showing it all.

That is awesome! What model of power outlet strips are you using (look a bit like pack poles). Looks like the name could be TrippLite but I can't see any model info.

Thanks!

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120338&cm_re=tripp_lite_30A_pdu-_-12-120-338-_-Product

For your next setup check out the cyberpower pdu's. The SNMP data is more detailed, and doesn't require an applet (and whacky browser settings) to control it. It has a clean web interface you can get to easily.

It outputs per-bank load so you can balance easier, vs the single reading from the tripplite. It some other data too that's neat to see (power consumed since startup, resettable), like this:

CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusLoad.1 = Gauge32: 158
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusLoad.2 = Gauge32: 81
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusLoad.3 = Gauge32: 77
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusVoltage.1 = INTEGER: 2378
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusVoltage.2 = INTEGER: 2378
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusVoltage.3 = INTEGER: 2378
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusActivePower.1 = INTEGER: 3630
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusActivePower.2 = INTEGER: 1863
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusActivePower.3 = INTEGER: 1767
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusApparentPower.1 = INTEGER: 3755
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusPowerFactor.1 = INTEGER: 96
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusEnergy.1 = INTEGER: 240261
CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusEnergyStartTime.1 = STRING: "2017/06/13 07:46:47"
CPS-MIB::ePDUStatusInputVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 2378
CPS-MIB::ePDUStatusInputFrequency.0 = INTEGER: 600

I have the same tripplite you posted, and also have one of these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812220107&cm_re=CyberPower_PDU30MVHVT24FNET-_-12-220-107-_-Product

The only way I too see if a bank is overloaded on the tripplite is to wait until it pops the breaker for the bank (It happened to me... dual mining testing)

For my next build I'll use one of these instead, it has per-port on/off plus the good snmp output:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA91J4344133&cm_re=CyberPower_PDU30SWHVT16FNET-_-9SIA91J4344133-_-Product

I'm tempted to add the environmental sensor to it too, there's a block of snmp data for that also.

I'm sure there's other PDU's way better than the cyberpower ones, but for the price and features, I like them.

Awesome mining cave btw

With all that wood you just need a little sawdust and a spark. I'll bring the marshmallows and wienies.

Don't Jinx it...the farm isnt paid off yet lol.

New video for the newbs out there. I'm still learning the ropes on video production, but I managed to record sound on my computer while recording video on the camcorder...no sync issues either!

Also, I failed to mention the dual ATX psu option and ofc, the cost benefits to running dual PSUs.

sweet jesus! how fast is your internet, and who's your provider?

also, where did you get the money for this, and how much was it?

You don't need fast internet for mining - I had a 3mb Time Warner line doing 10 1080 TI rigs with no latency issues at all. Now remoting into them... that's was a different issue

You cant do much with somones IP address, except DDOS them. But while you are at it can I have your address, when you are not home, and can you make your dog like me..
