I thought GPU mining was a thing of the past. Well that shows me. Try under clocking your cards so the don't run so hot. Also look at your fans. Are they the largest you can get. And don't have three sucking air and three blowing it out. Two intake to three out would create better cooling I believe.

Haa

Have you been living under a rock?
Never heard of any cryptonight coins hard- forking to be ASIC resistant? Wink

I can recommend box fans like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3733-20-Fan-Box/dp/B00002ND67

To get the temperature under control, you have to:

1) Check the spacing between your GPUs
2) Fan settings, take them off from "auto" and manually set them on 65-75% or something
3) BIOS modding, mining BIOSes give you an edge over using the stock ones
4) Airflow through your mining room (cold air in, hot air out)
5) Overclocking/Underclocking settings

Try to fiddle with those and you should get your temps. down

I stringing some fan VWM for reducing heat and installed in every side in the frame, so far is a good enough for decreased heat around 2-5 Celcius. I use the Delta brand of VWM.

like this:

Are you even using the risers or have you placed all the six graphic-cards directly on the motherboard? Plus which miner are you using right now? Have you tried undervolting? Undervolting can greatly help in reducing the temperature levels, it does affect the hashrate a bit but with that, your GPUs will consume less power and will remain less hot.

the simplest solution is just to use air conditioning

what is your outside temperature?

And burn twice as much power than he does ? That's smart lol...

No, the real solution is exaust the hot hair from the room. Great solution is a hyroponic culture tent with intake and outake fan (500cfm)

I've got a couple of 120's in my gaming rig which works for me but many prefer 180mm fans as the will move more air quieter.

Hey all. I tried to search the forums here and couldn't find exactly what I was searching for. Basically, I set up a 6 GPU rig recently and can't figure out how to cool down the GPU's adequately. What I have is: 6 XFX RX580 and 3 fresh air fans coming in and 3 fans going out of the chassis. I also set the fans on each GPU to go to 100% at 75C. Even with all of this, I am running at 87-89C consistently. And from what I understand, this is going to either burn my cards up or create a fire hazard. So, two questions: 1) can anyone recommend a very high air flow fan that I can daisy chain with 4 pin molex and 2) any software tweaks I can use outside of afterburner?

After spending a butt load of money, this rig is going to be a paper weight if I can't cool down my cards.

Thanks for the help.
