I think Nelly had a song a while back about the woes in dealing with high temperatures in his mining rooms.  He's quite the forward thinking as it was strangely written before the advent of Bitcoin.

38° near the rigs, open windows. i dont use air conditioned. but i guess if i would like to mine when it's hot with more stuff i have to use it. . people help me . it is already the second time i have to sell all in april and when its hot i dont mine.
Not only hot but how can you sleep with all that noise. 
yes thereisnt much noise

Just gonna say this and leave the thread - those are terrible pictures.  Terrible.  Awful.  Bad.  Boooo!
(as a show of support I will now contribute to the discussion.)
Find another algo that runs cooler.  Or do hashing the old fashion way with pencil and paper, before CPUs dominated the network

Well, previously when I run my GPU hot, I got a melted riser.

You sure you didn't accidentally use bad wiring to get that melted riser? Such as a poorly connected +12V?

Because its very rare for an riser to melt due to GPU heat. The GPU might run at 80-90C but that's at the chip level, the rest of the PCB is most likely around 50-60C and shouldn't be able to melt the riser.

This is actually the first time I am hearing something such as this.

Same here... Never heard of of such!

I've experienced melted riser but not because of GPU temps

its due to bad wirings, wire gauge and power handling issue that I use

3 usb riser on a single molex rail

In my Setup most effective and cheapest to manage heat is to blow hot air outside, and let fresh air in

a Two industrial blower type fans solve it

Air conditioning. Lol. Stupid newb

It is expensive solution if you dont have it and spends a lot of electricity. Some miners are on the verge of limitators in the house. In my apartment it si fixed at 7kwh, and i would need to remove miners to run AC.
I just installed some fans and opened the windows. Tempts that you have are not critical and they can work no problem. I have some cards that are constantly over 90 celsius, but they are blower cards. GPUs are made to endure high tempts and can work until winter comes in that conditions. if you are worried bring the cocks down.

of course not

And other things I've experienced when the GPU gets too hot:
- PSU cable and connector from/to the GPU melts
- GPU paste processor quickly dry
- GPU fan loosens quickly because it is forced into the maximum rotation (R9 290 sapphire).

GPUs can handle somewhat high temperatures pretty fine (around 65-80C). I have seen people running their mining rigs at 85C for 3+ years with no problems (R9 290 cards aka heat blowers).

To get the temps. down, just move the hot air out of the room you have your rig in.
yes, R9 series (290,290x,390) can run at that temperature even 90C for 3 days, but 80-90C isn't good for other hardware especially USB Riser can melt (that's what I experienced) and sometimes Rig can restart itself, until now to reduce heat all my Rigs using assembled VPM (Delta), this method pretty good (for me).

For a hobbyist heat is the main issue.

I ended up with my 9 card rig in a stair well where the heat can rise and its hot as a mother but the cards are all 68-70 c.

The key is its isolated to an extent from the cooling for the rest of the house. The heat pools in the upper stair well but its closed off.

I spent weeks trying to find a spot where I could deal with the heat.

Have you tried to use afterburner software?
try to set the temp to 70 degrees on afterburner software it prevents to get your miner hotter.
Make sure your graphics card is far from the other cards so that the hot air from other cards not sucking from the other cards.
like the other said exhaust fan it is one of the important to exhaust all hot air from the room.

Better go with exhaust fan and put additional fan to ensure you don't break the rig. One has to be careful while mining , hot air can mess up performance and through put.

Your GPUs can survive the 37C ambient temperature no problem, the problem is human habitation at those temps.

Either get an intake -> exhaust box fans and put in your windows.
Turn off some GPUs.

Basically a 10,000 BTU can remove like 3000 Watts of heat so could be up to 20 GPUs. That's only if your ambient temp is cold however.


Or just get a server chassis and put the exhaust out the window.

I have put the rigs of my colleagues in the server room so we don't suffer much from the heat but with your situation you can only hope that summers passes away soon , which it should and hope that autumn is a cool one.

Anyway if the temperature of Gpu-s are less than 70 most of the time it is a good thing. Remember prolonged working hours with not the right temperature will shorten a Gpu lifespan, theorically though as I have seen people with 71 degree temperature running since 2016 so practice shows otherwise.

You should not worry as long as temperature is below 70.
