All my rigs are shut down.   Water level is breeching 30% up driveway.   It's not looking good.............7 more days of rain.    All detention ponds and bayou are breached.
 Only thing we can do is pray.  Only 1 life jacket in the house, who gets it?  L3 or 1080TI?

Are the rigs just shut down or destroyed by the water? I hope it's not the latter. Is there no way to evacuate at least part of the equipment?

Best wishes to you and your family!

The rigs just shut down when flooded.
You just dry them up and start them again.

LOL

Not funny dude.

Oh man.,.... that is serious man ... hope everything settles down soon.

You need 4 strong pontoons below bolted to your shed and 2 anchors.

EVGA SC2 are actually the best in terms of performance and heat management.  Aorus are unnecessarily FAT and you can't fit 6 into a server case or same foot print as 6 EVGA SC2.  They also don't handle heat as well and will throttle very badly.  I bought 60 Aorus but I regret that decision.  Knowing what I know now, I would rather pay the premium and get SC2.  Even within the EVGA line, there are differences in heat management which dictates performance.  A cooler card will hash the full hash rate vs losing 100+ sol when overheating.  This is why you see the 24K BTU behind the Aorus to get the full hashing power.   They are very sexy at night though, I must give them that.  


Fans to help my 1080TI stay cool and sexy.

If you want to do your own trench work, you have to get your utility companies to mark all the gas and Cable lines, else you would do some real damages.  You also have to follow the rule of proper depth / conduit, etc.  Permits will depend on what area you live in.    Cost all depends on who you use, licensed professional will always charge 2 arms and 1 leg.  If they let you subcontract or do some of the work, it will help reduce cost as they charge a ton for trench work.

@NavyDude - You won the lottery.  Nice deal.

Nice one yun9999 - the Aorus 1080ti are beast mode - nice and cool too..... the L3s.... he he he money printing machine !

yun9999 how much did it cost to upgrade from your original 150amp  service to 550 ?  I am trying to upgrade from 200amps to 400amps and got a quote of $11K.  Also in Texas.

How are you able to get a second meter ?  I called Centerpoint and they said there is no way a residential house can have a second electrical meter.

Centerpoint is a pain in the ass to deal with. I just finished my service upgrade from a 100A to a 400A on my house. Back and forth on possible solutions. At first they said it was not possible, then they later said it was ok to have a separate meter (would have to be business). However, the transformer in my neighbor's yard had NO spare connections. I wanted a dedicated 400A service to my shed, but they wouldn't allow because there was not enough space to terminate new wires.

So, literally today, my shed was powered up. 400A service to the home through a new 100 foot run of 2 1/2" conduit, buried 20" below grade. However, they have the 80% rule, so i really only have 320A. My home now ties into that service, on a 100A panel (no changes), then we have a 225A disconnect that feeds power back to the shed's dedicated breaker panel.


11K seems high when you already have 200amp

You can have a separate meter on a detached garage or separate building on your property, I did it an added 600amps to my garage and on top of that i set it up using business info so i got far lower business rates on the seccond meter

all for 13k for 600amp



My original estimate was like 10k including digging, but that was before Centerpoint started making problems. I would expect closer to 12k.

For me the biggest cost was the digging crew.

Damn Man! I had a new 200 amp service set  for my new storage building.  I had $500 in parts to build the service(6x6 post, 200 amp box w/main for outdoor and 200 amp panel for inside, ground rod, conduit and a few other items.) Im figuring about $100 dollars for  the wire to feed the shed as thats the last thing i need to have it all finished. Entergy dropped overhead service 150 feet for free. I should have less than 1000 bucks. I was gonna go underground but he told me 3.10 per foot plus some other fees and i had to dig and put the conduit in. .....I was like is there another way? He said yeah we can go overhead for no charge to you!

This is very cool mining rig I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing the pics man. It is very motivating that you have taken the mining job so seriously. The home is completely surrounded by the miners and you have almost made a data centre which looks professional and IT infrastructure from inside.

Your hash rates are amazing and I believe you have got all the gpu's from your city. Lols. Look at the numbers man. Must be bright feeling when you are seating around that miners inside that garage. Nice one.

Sorry been busy building my Bitmain L3 and 1080Ti army and have been neglecting this thread.

Fun pics  

L3 Mini Army





(1080Ti Aorus Army)





Testing 1080TI EVGA SC2  Army with the 13 GPU ASROCK H110 MB.  I tried 12 GPU and powered them with a IBM 4KW PSU, works like a champ.

@ All - Favor to ask to keep the thread easier to follow and less repetitive.  Let's use @ person for the response when possible rather than quote the entire post for the ones with pictures to keep it less bulky / more scrolling.  It will be more important as this thread gets past 40-50 pages where I need to do more streamlining.  


**************Design Lab brewing *************************

First I want to thank all the people who are supporting me on this project


@YSYLUNG - Does the HP 1500W have bigger fans and is maybe quieter?  I need a server PSU solution for the server case and the IBM 2KW wont' fit sideways nor is there a good fan solution in that space to keep either the HP1200W or the IBM 2KW PSU cool.



Thank you everyone for following and for your valuable feedback and support.


The HP 1,200 when plugged into 110v gets insanely hot, thus the crazy high noise level.  The HP 1,500 doesn't run on 110v as it requires 220v.  A passive heatsink on the HP 1,500 will help keep the fan from revving up too high, if you are only driving it about 1/2 - 2/3 rated output.

Another solution other than what I stated previously "to reverse the fan, so it pushes air, instead of pulling air. Helped with the noise a lot for me."

is to double up your hp server psu so they aren't running near 100% loud. Since they are so cheap, you can get another one if noise is an issue.

For example, if you have a rig using 900 watts on the HP PSU, then the fan is going to whine like hell. Now if you split that load between 2 HP PSU, so each one is only using about 450w, then it greatly reduces the fan workload, so no more screaming demons.

You can also add a heatsink + thermal paste, like this one from eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Big-Aluminum-Heatsink-Heat-sink-radiator-for-Led-High-Power-Amplifier-amp/122445133345?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

$6.50 but it will take a few weeks to arrive from China.

I am considering doing the same project to my newly built detached garage...wondering the digging cost part...if it costs 10k, can i just dig by myself? i don;t think digging work requires permit, right? and i doubt the electricians really want to dig...

yun9999, thank you for these two threads. i started reading them two weeks ago from the start, and i felt like a time traveler, thinking to myself "oh my, if you only knew..", especially when i saw the reactions to the first spike (money printers getting stuck ^^)

i'm dying to know how the story continued!
