6 gpu's in a small bedroom is crazy.

I will get hot in no time.
my room is like that and i used to have 10 x R9 280X and before that AMD 7970, it was noisy as fuck, and hot as hell.
if you need to turn the ac all the time then you will use more power than the mining rigs produce, no good.

in a small room i will not put more than 400W of heat, so 3 maybe 4 undervolted, and operating at lower intensity RX 470 MAYBE, 4 x GTX 1070 better, not more than that.

if you shut down the fans, with the cards mining, they will DIE, even if the GPU temp doesn't look too high, because the temp sensor is on the GPU die, not on the memory or VRM which a re the most sensitive parts and needs constant cooling, so no, mining, fans minimum at 40% not less, and deal with the noise Grin

right now i have a vega 56 and a GTX 1080Ti which i am using to test new mining software, and the are a bit noisy but not so much, and the heat is ok, a small fan will deal with it

cheers

i mine with 2 1080 in a bit closed pc case!
and it's really quite but slightly hot cuz not open air rig.

My vote is for the RX 470 cards. Best hash/watt ratio = more profitable.

1) My room is closed air, i don't open my window. If i leave my rig in my room 24/7, will it become faulty very soon? My room is kinda small, condo unit size room
-No it will not become faulty. Your room will become hot but hey, you'll be earning.

2) Is the mining rig noisy? Cause i am sleeping in the room xp
-It depends on the power supply you get. Make sure you get one that is well above your total power drop. The farther it is from max capacity, the quieter it will be.

3) If i am able to undervolt, 50% fan speed, keep it around 55-60 celcius, can i leave it mining without a fan?
Yes, you can leave it without a seperate fan.

Good luck and enjoy mining!

For the same cost i would get the rx 470 . generating less heat , power draw much better

1) 6 vga cards / psu / cpu cooling going to generating a lot of heat in a small room ...

2) mining rig can be quite , its all about the ambient temperature . if the amb temp is low , then the fans not going crazy

3) If you can keep the GPU temp around 55-60 that's perfect , you dont need extrnal fan , but yo still need to open a window , or circulating the air somehow ...

Ahh thabks for your reply, hmmm seems that the main thing is needed to circulate the air out of the room, is this correct?

Lets say in a Square room, it would need a hole to pass the air out.

But here comes the problem, during night time i do on AC tho, if i turn on my AC, although i didnt open my windows, its okay in this case right?

If you have aircon on during night time its no problem. I have my rig in a small studio and I sleep no more then a meter away from my rig.

If I have ac on I cant even hear the rig with fans on 75%. Might be different depending on what cards. Im using palit super jetstream 1080ti which are really quiet.

So i would most likely getting a mining rig like after so long

At the same cost, which should i pick?
Rx470x6
or
Rx570x2 Rx580x4

1) My room is closed air, i don't open my window. If i leave my rig in my room 24/7, will it become faulty very soon? My room is kinda small, condo unit size room

2) Is the mining rig noisy? Cause i am sleeping in the room xp

3) If i am able to undervolt, 50% fan speed, keep it around 55-60 celcius, can i leave it mining without a fan?

Thanks Wink
