Topic: Air Condition and Mining Profitability (Read 636 times)
If your just running 1 ant, i think you'll be fine with heat. Last summer in 100+ degree days i had 10 overclocked 7950's running with just box fans and the room was 88.
I'm pretty sure in China the normal ambient temp in summer is more than 30C, so it'll be perfectly fine.
My Antminer consumes 400W, which corresponds to
0.4 kW * 24h * 0.15 EUR/kWh = 1.44 EUR/24h in electricity costs.
At 180 GH/s I make 6.31 EUR/24h
With increase in difficulty the earnings will drop (unless the BTC price increases).
With summer coming up I need to use air condition. Does anyone know how much AC power is needed to cancel out 1 kWh of heat? I mean, as the miner produces one kWh of heat, how much power will the AC use to prevent the temperature from rising?
I fear mining soon will not be profitable if AC is needed. If I instead let windows open and mine at 30 degrees C, will the ant miner survive? Perhaps I better under-clock it?
