Hey guys, how are yall able to control temps on the D1800 with the GPU's so close together? Im not ready to convert this setup to water yet as the GPU's im testing on this board full VGA waterblocks seem to be nearly impossible to find...
I am having to run the setup on 60% tdp to maintain temps below 72c in my garage on the inner most 2 GPU's the first and last GPU are running in the low 50's mining, not sure if im ok with these temps....because when weather starts warming up ill be unable to control temps with this spacing....
Blower reference cards should be ok for this board with small gap in between however.... for non-Reference/blower cards -- this will be a challenge because it will get hot quite quickly unless you get those water-cooled versions Phil is using.
I will attempt on the 8xVega64 on the Colorful B250 board.
Thanks bud, figured that the non-ref was my issue, just need to get busy with watercooling, just was not planning on converting them all over this soon, ordered stuff so i can watercool all my rigs on the same waterloop. I am planning on installing buried rated pex in the ground in a grid formation in my backyard, then attempt to watercool my mining rigs via geothermal cooling, because the one guy in California was able to passively cool all his 270+ gpu's via copper wire just thrown in his backyard pool, i think the ground would make a great radiator to soak up most of the heat, if need be im going to install radiators with fans after it exits the ground, but only if i truly need it.
The goal is to convert my entire mining setup over to watercooling by next year with possibly all of it cooled passively.
Oh Citronick,
To answer a question you asked earlier, the D1800 is running off +12v and Ground on the inputs only... i pulled the extra pins on 3 molex extensions and plugged 3 GPU's into the slots with the Molex inputs and they booted up and mined just fine
