Topic: Mining room cooling issue. - page 2. (Read 2986 times)
It's a exhaust fan pulling the hot air out of the room. You just run the ducting to behind the ants because thats where all the hot air is. Im running 8 antminers and not over clocked and the room gets into the high 90"s without the exhaust fan. And the inline exhaust fan has a lot more cfm of air flow then any open air fan and it dont use all that much more power for a 4 inch one ...
Wait wait... what kinda temps are we talking about here?
Pretty sure a inline fan would be sufficient, inline would be a little over kill if the opening of the duct is right behind the ants.
Ok here's what you do since no one else has any better ideas besides killing or kicking out roommate lol !! I've set me up a few grow rooms for "friends" befor .. Buy a 6 inch can fan from your local hydro store . Also get the ducting and cut a hole in the ceiling in the room or closet. Keep the hole so you can put back the drywall if you ever need too. Have the fan pull the hot air from right behind the antminers.. This will solve your problem and the room will become half the temp it used to be ... Good luck ......... A 4 inch one might also work for your purpose and use less power ...
You know, if you just kill the roommate and put the body in the mining room; the heat and the low humidity will mummify the corpse.
You could then wrap it up in old bedsheets and sell tickets to see the mummy....................

I did but after a few sessions the shrink checked himself into a facility...............

if OP doesn't have a window, AC is gonna pump hot air into the rest of the apartment; the heat has to go somewhere.
if OP has a window, open it.
Make a little shelf for your ants by the window and have cold air blow through* *(note: not for 1st floor apartments)

+1 & LOL at the amount of common sense.
its only march right now, temperatures are going to get a lot warmer in the next 3 months so you need to keep that in mind and if you plan to keep mining - prepare a sufficent method of A/C or hot air exhaust to outside
For me its the heat not the sound. I put mine back down to stock clocks last night but already miss the extra hash. Guess I'm gonna have to strut around topless in boxers, (sorry I'm a guy).
Buy your roomate some earplug?
This is the most reasonable answer yet... but nowhere near as fun

OP: if you want to keep your roommate, perhaps a compromise?
bitmain's got S1's for 0.996BTC. give your roommate one/sell at {whatever you need to breakeven}.
if roommate accepts, this gets roommate giving shit about BTC. roommate runs their new ant in their room, endures their personal fan noise, and sympathises with your habit of leaving your door open a crack.
you could also do this with U1's but don't be a cheapskate! you could be roommates on the moon in 5 years.

You watch too much C.S.I. :-)

Any way for me to keep my miners cool and not annoy my roommate?
Options:
1. Buy an AC (additional power costs)
2. Buy a hifi system (needs to be loud enough, additional power costs, but a lot of fun)
3. As others said, get rid of your roommate

hey, no roommate means you have a whole other room for your new roommate: 12 antminers 
+1, who needs people when you have miners

the income from 6 antminers means you don't need a roommate.
Oh, that reply is GREAT!
Nearly put some of my adult beverage all over my keyboard when I read that one!
