The summer is the best! Are your rigs overheating?

Not the rigs the basement gets too hot and the main panel over heats so i have to shut down pretty much half of my rigs

some of the rigs lose cards due to heat as well, so I'm constantly restarting some of the problem rigs


Maybe just send me half your rigs.. i have a cooler country and will treat them right  Grin haha


Can you cool the main board?? Fan cooling etc?

Lol i love my rigs but the summer heat makes managing them a darn full time job ugh, I got my garage finally set up to migrate most of my miners
I'll post some pictures when i have time, its a pretty impressive power setup , cooling I have some ideas but no money to implement anything yet.

As long as i have a place to move half my rigs to thats all I care about, tired of the main breaking tripping due to thermal overload.


The tricky thing with cooling is the condensation that will occur
Of course depends on initial air humidity and subsequent fuel points

Could possibly run warm air over a rice or hydrophilic system then after drying its cooled..?

We're not even INTO the summer yet - but had 2 heat waves last month that hit 90+ F.

 My R9 290 cards were NOT happy - at least 2 of them were thermal throttling due to the fairly poor options for maintaining airflow and cooling in my current (old) place.

 Thank goodness I have started to move into the current (new) place - I should have the "runs hot" rigs moved before the NEXT heat wave hits!

ALl my cards are RX series and Nanos  thank god, I tried running 290s in that basement a couple of years ago and it was an even larger disaster.

Had to sell them all.

The GPUs can handle the summer heat.... but not the owners.



Funny thing is the basement exhaust fan i have somehow cools the whole house down quite nicely, unfortunately that single large 3000cfm fan is not
enough to keep my mining area cool enough so after around 24 -36 hours the excessive heat build up causes me to shut down my sub-panel.

Anyway, we gotta do what we gotta do, taking good care of rigs and maintaining them even if we have to sacrifice our comfort a bit. In return, they do our computational work and we are rewarded with freshly made coins. So, let's keep the hustle on.  Wink

I hate summer, due to extreme heat, fan noise, dust and most importantly flies. I've applied some kind of filters to windows but I can't prevent my family and neighbors talk at door. And flies use this opportunity to trouble me. I'm very scared if they find their way to destroy my rigs, so usually I end up discussing this with family. They say, they understand but next day same thing goes on lol.

Besides, I have some birds and they don't like being prisoned Cheesy Before mining, they used to visit my room a lot. Now, whenever mom wants to let them get their freedom for a moment at home, she asks me to close room door. At Summar, this will require me to use my air conditioner. But I cannot think of anyone with a bad room trying mining.

It will be extremely difficult to manage body temperature. GPUs have fans but we don't. Grin

My rigs are at 73 degrees and the ambient temperature at room hits 33 at times.

Edit: GPU temp is at 73, not the entire rig.  Smiley

my rig are at less than 60° with 30° of ambient temperature, summer create more problems to me than the rig lol, my gpu are perfectly fine, you need 50° to be worried about your gpu, but at that temp you will die first
