Bought one of these yesterday Grin

just waiting for it to arrive. Will post pictures when it does!

Too bad I don't have good enough PSU for a bunch of 1080ti. Thinking of going with server PSU for this case in addition to one regular one.

Someone was asking about dimensions for the Hewlett Packard 1500 watt common slot power supplies + X-adapter breakout boards. Conclusion: two of these will just barely fit back to back in this case but that means the cards in front of psu's will need to be GTX 1070's or smaller due to length restrictions.

Dimenstions with the X-adapter board attached: exactly 12 inches in length; width is 4 and 1/4 inches because the breakout board is just slightly wider than the HP 1500 psu itself; height is about 1 and 3/4 inches but that is deceptive because you have to allow for the insertion of your power cables, which can only bend so much.

Here are some photos which I hope make it clearer:

I'd like to mount the two PSUs horizontally, stacked; looks like it can be done with a spacer or bracket to raise the top PSU a couple inches, to give enough room for cables plugging into the breakout board. I think this way, it's easier to access power plug from the back.

What way would you guys set the fans? All my Nvidia cards blow out hot air in the front. How would i set up the fans for best airflow? Kinda new to building rigs, so might be a stupid question but hey.. we all started somewhere Grin

If all of your cards have blower-style coolers, you could go against the norm and intake cool air from the rear and use the front for exhaust. However, the power supply and CPU may interfere, and if you have additional cards seated directly on the motherboard's x16 slots (if any), it'll be a little more difficult.

If you're new to building rigs and this is your first (and currently only) one, then you could just leave the top open for now. It's still not an ideal cooling configuration, but it should do the job for one rig.

I would just drill some new holes for the two GPU mounting brackets and mount the GPU's 180 degrees from the original mounting.

WOW! I would dump those power amps and switch to some powered speakers at some point. Nothing is wrong with Genelec or Mackie. Storage has got to go too. All power and space belongs to miners! jk

Lol. Well, those power amps take care of the Home Theater as well as other outdoor areas, and the storage holds all the media for the "neighborhood" and stuff flow in daily, so no immediate plans to chance any of that. Now the .3PB Burst mining that I'm doing with 3 of those chassis you see, I'm going to make a decision in the next couple of month if it is worth continuing that. Burst is at an all time low right now, but I know, HODL all the way!

60C is not bad temperature, but they are running at ~55% of TDP. What's the ambient temp like? Do you run the case with the lid closed?

The "cold isle" (basement hallway) is 76F and the "hot isle" (server room behind the racks) is about 80F with a 750 CFM fan sucking hot air to the outside 24/7.

Lid is off until/if I stack another miner on top, then I'll upgrade to Delta fans.

Speaking of server case, I will try to get away with 3x 140mm fans. Just need to figure out a way to fit them inside.

Thanks, this is interesting. You've gone with the right low profile 1080 Ti card. I was just about to ask about TDP because even at 70%, with those six cards you'd be hitting the wall with that 1,200 EVGA psu.

Yeah, I'm running at 62% power at the moment and pulling around 1070W from the socket. I'll likely invest in a 1600W EVGA Platinum at some point. Hopefully before I melt this one, although it does have a 10 year warranty.

Created AutoTune to saved the planet! ~USA

Now is GPU mining still worth it. I am waiting on about 30 ascis and I am debating building maybe 3 or 4 gpu mining rigs open air or closed like this in the mean time. What coin to mine what is the go to card right now really interested?

I use that same case with 6 x EVGA 1080Ti and a single EVGA 1200W PSU.

EDIT: How many posts do I need before my pics won't just show up as links?

Temps are not bad at all:

Those are 1500 RPM Noctura 120mm fans. They only push 55 cfm. If I ever decide to put the cover on and stack more miners, I'll be switching to some Delta 4000 RPM fans for sure.

The 1200W PSU is borderline running all 6 cards at 65% power.

EDIT: How many posts do I need before my pics won't just show up as links?

I'm planning on installing same exact cards but with 1500W PSU. What size fans and what CFM? Is 3x fans sufficient to keep temps in check?

You need 30+ activity level (Jr.Member) for pics to show up.

Got mine yesterday! I had to drill new holes for the fan rail.
I put it further forward in order to fit GPUs both in the front and the back.
Ill post pictures tomorrow when i get home.

There is a shortage on 80mm fans where i live. Cant believe it Huh

oHHH NICE
I'M waiting your pictures Grin

Here you can see how one can fit GPUs in the front and the back. As you also can see there is alot missing, fans etc. They are in the mail Cheesy

I had to improvise alot to fit my HDDs. I dont only mine on this PC. i use it as an office computer when i write etc. http://i.imgur.com/UeKXUMB.jpg

With this arrangement you may have some troubles with fitting 80mm fans in there. Maybe you can put some 120-140mm fans in the front instead?

The PSU seems grossly insufficient for 2x1080ti + 1070, but you probably know that already Wink

This is a less expensive version of the RSV-L4000 with out all of the drive cages that you have to remove anyway in order to install my support bracket.

Yes, but the L4000 has a 3 x 120mm fan bracket in the middle that can be moved whereever you need it by drilling a couple of holes.
I much prefer that as you can then you can run the 250cfm delta fans and will have awesome airflow
