if you use 1 of these inline fans or fans like Marijuana growers use, you'll be fine

Don't know how many cubic feet you're in but average 2 car garage is 3600 cubic feet so the fan above would exchange the air inside of it roughly once every 2 minutes. That's pretty good.

Should be viable with enough airflow if your rig is set up for proper cooling of the GPUs.

 If you're in a dry area, might want to consider an evaporative cooler.



It is a very humid city. there will be AC installed, but I want to leave it off except for rainy days. Any solutions to cool that saves electricity?


I'm working to set up a mining farm with 7 rigs to start with. Planning on a site which has window access. I'm wondering if the farm can rely on airflow from installing fans on the window 24/7 365 days a year all season, as the outside temperature can get up to 33C at times, but very rare. I want to know if this is possible, of course I will have an AC as back up. But is this avhievable to rely on pure airflow.

I run 9 rigs in Rosewill in a 42U rack and 2 open air rigs in garage where temp is 100F+ or 33C+ with no issues. I have 2 exhaust fans with 3200 CFM total and 4 Windeevents to get rid of hot air.

I dont have space for big exhaust fans, any recommendations for a fan that fits within a window? I will be replacing the glass pane with exhaust fans.
