I have 4 pcs mining rigs. Each of them has 12 GPUs RX570 4GB.
Total 48 GPU. I want to use air conditioner for cooling.
What should I do ? is it safe to use air conditioner ?

cold air and hot air in the same room is a problem ?
I dont care about the profitibality I just want to know is there any problem if i use air conditioner ?
The cold air dircetly to the rigs or somewhere else direction ?

if there is anyone use air conditioner, please help me. I want to be set up a proffessional system.
7kw air conditioner is enough ?

dont use air conditioner for mining, you only burning electric for 1-2c cooler for 600watt full ac

better using in&out fan/exhaust consume only 50w both of them....

How do you think the price for courting the aircorn system would be?

You should choose an air conditioner or several air conditioners depending on the amount of heat that your mining farms give off.
If your mining farms consume 3 kilowatts per hour, the air conditioner will consume 0.8-1 kilowatts per hour.
I don't know what aircorn is, but the calculation principle is basically the same.

Consider air conditioner if you have free electricity, they are the best for cooling and don't listen to other ideas about well ventilation or some fan modding, air conditioning works best

So far i found air conditioner best cooling system, my place is very hot in summer 45-50C outside and very dusty. Here vents dont help much when temperature gets above 40C. Luckily my electricity is very cheap thats why air conditioner works best for me

In general, this is a pretty funny topic, no, seriously. Air conditioning mining is ingenious. Although what I'm surprised, I often began to hear something someone started to mine on Game Boy or on the first pc from Apple. I won't be surprised if tomorrow I find out that some enthusiast has started mining on smartwatches. And with regards to the air conditioner, you just reminded me of my problem. I have small children at home, and they often spill something on him and this is a quiet horror. I'm already so tired of calling these guys airconservicingsingapore.com , I think they already consider me as their employee. The air conditioner should be moved away from children.

Almost dust free wit air conditioner. I like dust free option. Everything works well.
Nothing wet so far. I point the cold air to the ground.

I have no any idea for winter times.
But i need air conditioner for summer times.
it s too hot till October in my place.
I wanna keep using air conditioner in winter. The outside temp in winter is around 15c - 20c here.

I will send some photos for you people.

Generally you shouldn't point an air conditioner DIRECTLY on exposed computer parts which is basically what most open air mining rigs are. Reason why is because depending on the humidity some of the water vapors can go on your GPUs and damage them.

However will this be an issue? As long as they are running the water would evaporate almost instantely and not cause damage. However if the rigs crash one day and GPUs are cold and you got a AC pointed at it, you might find it completely wet one day.

This thread however brings back memories. Back in the Litecointalk days, there was a fellow that had so many GPUs that he actually had to use an air conditioner to cool his place..... in the winter. Crazy times.

Using AC for in the mining room is OK . i have setup some humidity and temperature monitors which triggers notifications via mail and i can go and fix the issue .Just make sure the AC setup is suitable for your need.

Is very much okay, just make sure the cool air is dry air and no problems at all. The good thing is almost dust free, the bad thing is cost, I mean, a very good exhaust fan uses 150 watts, the ac that resembles the exhaust fan in efficiency uses 3000 watts, that is 20 times more. Pro miners would use those 2850 watts to add more mining rigs ehhe.

2 pcs 24000BTU air conditioners set to 23c and maximum fan speed.
Both of them eats total 3400W power thanks to inverter technology.

26 pcs RX570 4GB + 96 pcs P106 6GB
11 pcs rigs work well.
The rigs cleaned from dust. There is so small dusts now but it is no problem.

There is no high temp problem although i live in a really hot place.
I like my new system so much.

Where I live it can get really hot during the summers and in my experience, AC doesn't do much for the rigs. What you need is a good exhaust to vent out the hot air outside.

That is the thing people dont understand, with temps around 40c or more, during summer or in tropical places, air conditioner does not work unless is totally sealed off and it does double than 3.6 btu per watt. The ambient air will make ac useless if otherwise.

when people are mining with air conditioned rigs. you sell your coins and RUN! Cheesy

Exactly, but we are not quite there yet hehe, crypto has to rise a lot yet, remember the $20 per card per day? hehe, this week, crypto reached $1 per card per day again, so there is a lot to go before that.

we were never at $20 per card lol what are u talking about, maybe $20 per rig you meant. Im not talking about mining eth back in 2016 and holding to resell for a profit of $20 plus or more per card. I don’t remember a sustained $20 output per card for daily ming profits

I got into mining when it was LESS profitable than it is now, waaaaay back in 2016, and even then It boggled my mind how much I was earning. I told everyone I knew to get it, alas almost noone listened.

Vega on monero was around 20 usd per card and gtx 1080 on dgb was crazy too, around 15 usd. Polaris got as high as 10 usd per card on peak, january 2018.

the trick or the gamble here is if you keep the coins of that 1$ a day per card mining and sold that coins at 20$ a day per card mining, works like you also mined a 20$ per card back then too.

that scenario will send some mining devs in heaven limbo just like claymore and wolf hehe

The important thing is the GPUs has no dust, no overheating.

Even if you are mining to get some coin - whatever it is. You can always mine ethereum - get more cash this way and then convert it to whatever coin you want to have/keep.

If air condition does not blow directly into rig then it is ok.
Also GPU can easily run at 75*C. The Max temperature for most GPUs is 90*C and this is too much usually.
Also fans in GPU should not run on 100% so if they are running at 60% then you are all set

I had air conditioner that wat takin 5kW and cooling with power of 15kW.
Rigs that were in that room were taking about 25kW, so air conditioning was cooling but had not enough power. Room temperature was 30*C.
They were running or a 2 years in that conditions and they have totally no problem and running even now almost 3 years. GTX 1070 8GB.

It looked like this: https://youtu.be/F9_2WBalUF8

And you are right, it is clean and without dust.
Currently i have air cooled GPU farm and the dust is there

Actually dust is not bad, the worse are those flying worms which always get somehow in

You have really good set up

1- Your total power 25kw at the wall ?
2- Your AC has 15kw cooling capacity and eats 5kw ?
3- I see you have pipes on the ceiling. do they blow cold air from AC or is it for exaust fan for the hot air ?

I live in a really hot region with %70 humidity in summer seasons.
The dust is a big problem for me. Fan of the GPUs fails after everal months. And yes ! I sometimes see some flying worms in the rigs area.
I cannot stay in the rigs area when the rigs has any problem. So, i decided to use AC.
I dont think about AC price and its eating power because we can use the electricity bill for taxes.
Mining is my hobby. I dont need the profit from it. Of course, i get money but i always tries to mine different coins in different algos.
I want my stuff clean without dust and working in good conditions.

When I saw the topic title at first I was afraid that Bitmain introduced some new device which is mining-enabled (like their LTC-mining router) Grin

When air conditioning you should also watch out on the humidity of the room. That's something different than regular air flow generators.

I dont mine ETH. So, the power consumption is low. 48 GPUs eats only 4200W
The income isnt important. This is my hobby. I want to see everything well running, clean and tidy.

The AC system is the inverter one. The power consumption is 400W-2200W. It changes all the time.
Static will be problem ? or any other problem ?

My rigs are running on the same room with the AC for a few days. There is no any problem so far.
The AC doesnt blow the air to the rigs directly. The room is enough cold.
I set autofan option in HiveOS. The temparatures of the GPUs are 59c-66c.
I dont want GPUs are so cold. 59c-66c is enough for me. In this way, the AC system eats lower WATT.
The important thing is the GPUs has no dust, no overheating.
