I am lucky enough to live in a climate with low humidity so swamp coolers work well in the summer and they move tons of air. You can get a Bonaire Durango that will move 5000 cfm and keep everything nice and cool while only using 200-300 watts depending on your settings. This only works in low humidity climates otherwise you are better getting off with a high cfm fan or two and doing a push or push/pull type airflow setup to keep the heat out of the room.

Yesterday, I bought 3 different fans 120mm to 140mm up to 20decibel and sub 10eur  Smiley.
I'm going to test it and then add few my rig and see how temp changes.
don't worry about the noise from the fan, the most important GPU temperature is maintained,
how to replace the GPU thermal paste, have you ever replaced it?

note: don't do thermal paste replacement if GPU is still warranty


I would not worry about the noise if I did not have 10card rig in the living room ...  Wink

How to replace thermalpaste?!
Well, logic says, remove fans and have a look how it was done before and do it better  Grin

I just replaced thermal paste on CPUs, it is easy, maybe you can try different levels of thickness and check temperature so that you know what thickness to use.

I think that best idea would be just install and air condition in the room which will allow to cool air and your rigs will work normally
other ideas would be to lower power level on afterburner and create strong air flow with huge blowers or fan..
or the third option - shut the rigs down  Roll Eyes

Air conditioning is very expensive and not necessary.

In the past, I have simply placed a 20" box fan directly on top of my mining rig and this adequately cooled down the rig.  Every situation is different and your rig configuration may not allow a box fan to be simply set on top of it.  But for me... it's really easy.  I just plop the fan right on top of my rig and turn it on without any need for extra configuration

Fan on top sucking hot air up?  How many rigs/gpu's?  And what was the size of the room?  The hot air has to go somewhere doesn't it?  What was the temp of the room and the average temp of your gpu's?  Maybe it's not a big deal, if we're talking one 6 gpu rig, but I have 31 gpu's.

If you can make air circulation - do it, other ways are not effective.

One way is to buy the things you will need like sunscreen, bathing suits. Keep it simple, sign your yearbooks, take pictures get into some classes for the summer, start working on your body and then rent a beach house.

for the actual profit, it's better to shut them down.


I do not think so, depreciation is bitch ... GPU's still make money but I want to keep them 3+ years

You should lower core clock and memory clock, power limit of NVidia gpu
In my country, it's nearly 40 celcius outside and 30-32 inside. GPU's temperatures from 62 to 65 celcius
Try to keep your gpus under 65


Well, even now I have problem keeping temp under 65  ...  Sad ... outside is 6 Celsius, rig at balcony keeps temps at 56-60 Celsius
Inside it is like 65 - 75, I cannot open window, wife complains  Grin.

Temperature varies depending on model type ASUS/ EVGA better than GIGABYTE by 5 degrees or so
Also, I find Zotac s.it, two fan GPUs are noisy and zotac extreme runs fan at 85% and this is at 77% power.

Hi,
I get temperatures of my GPU's from 55-75 °Celsius and we have still  winter (outside 0 and inside 22 °C).

How to prepare for summer (outside 35-35  °C, inside 27-29°C without air con),
how am I going to cool this stuff and not to spend too much money?

How are you going to cool it?

Thanks for suggestions.


in my country there are only two seasons, summer and rainy season. I keep a mining tool in the top room of my house. When the summer, I often replace the GPU pasta and add a lot of fans. the cost is so cheap

There is 2 ways: big coolers or air conditioner.
If your room closed only air conditioner, but this method eat more power check your electricity capacity
Open rooms can be packed with big coolers, this cost less electricity and make your room dusty

Don't forget noise ...  Sad

I think  about the prepare of summer this areas We’re weeks away from high temperatures, sky warnings, and bug invasions. And this year is expected to be an especially hot one in many areas. Before summer hits at full force, make sure you and your home are prepared.That should do the trick, but if you’re looking for a test that’s a little more detailed, you can turn on the unit and check its efficiency with a simple thermometer used to summer vacation. Keep it there for five minutes and note the temperature. Do the same thing at the return vent. The air coming out should be some degrees cooler than the air going in temperature.

Open the windows at the level where your rigs are. And open 2nd windows in the lower level. Then leave the work to the natural convection Wink

Your first focus is getting hot air out. Hot air rises naturally, so a bathroom type fan placed high above your rigs will do miracles.
You can work with a near passive strategy depending on the size of your openings: big opening towards the bottom for air intake and big opening towards the top for outflow, on the other side to create current.
If you can't, for security or design reasons have big intakes then use ventillators. And as I wrote focus first on getting hot air out rather than cold air in.
