Outside temperatures will be a huge factor, because honestly I dont think you have enough ventilation for the hotter months, so you will be using that ac a lot. I have a 1500w setup atm with 2x 6 inch centrifugal fans with independent straight tubes going directly outside, and 2 more blowing straight out the top of the room on the other side, and damn it get hot in summer. The fans you are using only do around 280 m3/h, compared to the 4 500 m3/h centrifugal fans I'm using. You also need to consider the lengths of the tubes you are using and how many bends you have, these factors will have a large impact airflow, seriously every additional meter of tubing and bend you have will reduce airflow. I tell you this so you might avoid the issues I had, having to go and rethink everything after finishing and finding out I didn't have close to enough cooling.
@@TheHobbyistMiner Your welcome. You could roughly finish the walls and close as many gaps as possible, this would allow to perform a test, this would reduce the amount of work you would have to do if you wanted to make any changes. The build is looking good, it would be a shame and a pain to have to make changes after it's all rendered up and painted. Insulation is like wearing a coat, reduces heat transfer hot or cold, it will keep the heat in and reduce spread to other rooms, so it will make the room hotter. If you make an estimate of how many watts will be used in the room, then you can place something with a similar wattage in the room, like a heater, and see how the ventilation performs. 1000w heater will produce the same amount of heat as a 1000w computer, a heater will transfer the heat more efficiently, but it will give you an idea of what it will be like.
Strongly agreed, im running 2200+ watts in a grow tent with a 8" and 6" exhaust fan pushing 2000 CFM total, and 3200 cfm blowing on the rig. It keeps the cards around 60-67 celsius but the ambient temp at the top of the tent is 103 Fahrenheit on a 90 degree day
@@Wigwhom86 Have you noticed how a small increase in ambient temperature can take you from doing fine, to everything is melting, just a few degrees (Celsius)? For my it feels like there is a point of greatly diminishing returns, when you add tons more airflow for little to no improvement. I find for every few degrees increase in ambient I need to double the airflow just to keep the same temperatures, there is a point where there is nothing I can do but turn stuff off.
@@shlouski1 for me ambient temp doesn't affect gpu temp too much. I have two 20" box fans blowing on the 18 card mining rig. Have your tried blowing air directly over the GPU's and power limiting your cards?
Concrete also holds heat, it is possible but unlikely unless your cooling is insufficient to essentially thermally fill the concrete which leads to a domino effect. Think of the room and concrete as reservoirs, your room air is your primary reservoir when it overfills (gets too hot) it begins heating the concrete. While the primary reservoir in this case, the room air, is easy to "empty" or extract all the air and exchange it with new air, the concrete or secondary reservoir is much, much harder to extract the heat. Again, unlikely, but just make sure you keep it cool in there or it could be a real bear to cool it after a long thermal soak. Looking really good though, looks amazing! Thanks for the videos and ideas man!

Make sure you double-up on your power points. It can also be a good idea to cut in an extra flushbox here and there and throw in a draw wire in locations you're in two minds about. $10 spent now can save a lot of heartache and expense in future if you ever decide you really need some power above a desk or whatever. Love the work you're doing!! Congrats on setting it up.
Be careful not to vent more air than you bring in, I created a negative air pressure situation in my basement with ac infinity exhaust vents and messed up my hot water heater vent. Carbon monoxide is no joke.
@@TheHobbyistMiner most gas hot water heaters in the US are vented through a vent pipe. The heat from the combustion draws the hot exhaust gases straight up through that vent. I installed a 10" exhaust vent in the corner of my basement near my miners to pull hot air outside when the temp reached 85*. If i happened to be running that fan when the hot water heater was running, the gas would get diverted from the chimney into the basement.
Nicely done. I've been using a single 6" fan from Vortex with 6" conical air-filter for my S9; it cuts the noise drastically and the system been working great for over a year now. For cleaning, I only have to remove the filter and vacuum off dust; no need to shutdown the miner. BTW, 6" fan is good enough for 550MHz setting on 115v standard household current; anything over then it'll need to step up to 8" or larger.
If you are in PA you should really consider using the heat from that room to heat the rest of your house in the winter. Last winter with 2 rigs on the main floor in different rooms, and 1 machine in each of the bedrooms upstairs I barely has to use my furnace. Saved a lot on heating costs to offset the electricity cost. Really adds up since you are basically already generating as many watts of heat as electricity you are using, don’t waste it.
If, during the summer, you are having the exhaust fans going at 810 CFM (total), and that AC unit is right in front of them (if you ever feel the need to plug it in) I don't think you are going to do anything but pull all that cold air out of the room before it has a chance to circulate. Also, I have a concern that your intake fans rated at 410 CFM total will wear out faster and cause a negative pressure load due to you pulling twice as fast out than what being pushed in. It will also depend on where you place your farms and how that airflow will circulate. ok, I typed all that out and realized that you posted this like 12 days ago...lol. I'll be interested to see in the update to this video how the humidity and temperature in that room behaves with the setup you came up with.
I didn't think to mention it sooner, but rigid ducting would get you better airflow. Dust and pollen can also get trapped in the baffles in horizontal runs - which is why rigid ducting is required by code for dryers.
I read as much as I could. Did anyone ask why your AC dump is not on the opposite side of the room as the exhaust, this will cause the air to be pulled across the room, looks like it will be pulled right into the exhaust vents right now. Great job.
Very nice setup love your stuff , I'm an architect engineer and if I can give you a tip, try your fans to give you enough air supply to recycle the air in the room minimum 5 times an hour. you can find this by multiplying the cubic meters of the room by 5 and then multiplied the air supply off the fans anything less than 5 will create a vacuum and will not be efficient . For example if the intake fans are moving 500 cubic meters of air and the exhaust fans are moving 600 this will create negative pressure and the intake fans will not work properly plus you also need to consider the lengths of the tubes and how many bends you have in your setup for every miter of tube with 2 90”degree bends you have to add another 1 cubic meter of air supply
Just make sure your duct fan cfm is equal to or greater than the total cfm of your gpu fans. If not, it will slowly heat up to match the gpu exhaust air temps. I have the 10 inch ac infinity pulling from a closet with 2gh running and it stays at 105f right now. That's sucking from an air conditioned room
What recommendations do you have for me, for this project? While I can do some wiring and adjustments? Always looking for feedback and recommendations from the community.
Incredible Job !! One thing I noticed was the "Y" fitting on the inline fan output. Wont they create back pressure on each other and possibly affect airflow outwards. Sort of like having one muffler pipe on your car instead of two. It may be more efficient if you use two separate tubes to exhaust the air out of the building. Just my 2 cents :)...Love the videos !!
That was my originally idea. Sadly going out the side of my house I only had room for 1 6" outlet duct. So i am underground there in my basement, so everything is pipped up above the block wall and to the wood behind the siding. So i only have space between the block wall and the 1st floor flooring plywood. If that makes sense. If i was to do this again, i would of installed the exhaust duct work before putting the framing up.
Maybe in a future video show the outside of the house where the intakes and outputs go? Great video thanks! I’m building a new house with a crypto room and this is super helpful!
You will have a negative air pressure issue. Your intake should be larger than exhaust. In an earlier video you experienced the issue already with the fans. I did the same thing too and could not figure out why it was too hot.
Thanks for the in-depth video. We are re-doing our basement, but I am only getting an office and about 10x6 space for my rigs. Much smaller operation compared to you. So far, whole home A/C and an opening in the room for hot air to escape is all I have done, but it works with only 10 or less GPUs.
Isn't it that if you have intake on front, exhaust on the right of the room, then air will take the shortest route and skip the corner in rear left side of the room and create a hot spot with air just running in circle? Though I might be wrong, just based it on my in-head airflow simulation.
Just make sure your duct fan cfm is equal to or greater than the total cfm of your gpu fans. If not, it will slowly heat up to match the gpu exhaust air temps.

@@jessie38supercharged how are you calculating the cfm of your gpu fans? I am thinking of going this route as well for convenience and better temp control for summer. I’m sure I haven’t thought of everything so any tips are appreciated
@@zachc2678 I go by 50 cfm per triple fan card at 90% fan. the 10 inch ac infinity at full blast can only get my space down to 105 with 9)3080, 6)2080ti, 7)3070, 6)3060ti, 1 3070ti and 1 2060 super. The duct fan does 1200 cfm. I'm probably 300 cfm short of being able to get to room temps. A guy from evga told me it's 60cfm at 100% a few years back.
You must live in the south. They only use that fiber glass dust down south. Quick tip doesn't make for a gold clean room for pcs parts with fiber glass in the air
I spent $600 on a grow tent setup, it didn't have enough airflow (I think). Had to end up refunding everything after spending 24 hours straight working on it, trying it, then attempting other configurations. I had about the same amount of airflow as you do (accounting for larger vent sizes). Ended up having to buy two portable A/C's. I strongly suggest you point this time and energy into a separate building outside, it'll be slightly more expensive but a lot less headache and complexity and definitely guaranteed to work with enough airflow. Just telling you about my experience, I wish you luck though I really do hope it turns out to work. Summer is the hardest part of being a miner. When I have my own place, that's exactly what I hope on doing- building a separate, outside but guaranteed to work small building. Your airflow just seems so limited!
Are you going to only run the fans when the relative humidity is optimal outside? You run a high risk of walking in to a room literally dripping. Especially when there are rapid temp changes outside.
What you should do ASAP is test your system. 2 fans in and 2 fans out in a small room. You might end up with room slowly heating up. You can test this with a fan/heater in the room. The more fans u use. The more resistance you create. And if its not balanced out. The fans will work againts each other and make the airflow much less. 2 fans in serie vs 2 fans in parralell will also make big difference to flow in the room. Which is also very important. Since you make youtube videos. Why not set off a smoke bomb and film it. 🙂
Just curious, would the two 6 inch T pieced into one cause any issues with backflow, especially when the T piece isn't level? Not sure if it would have been better having the 6 inched T pieced (level) into an 8 inch
Based on your power infrastructure you must be planning on around 8000 watts of rigs in there, I don't think you've got a quarter the ventilation you need to run through the summer.
Great setup 👌 I'm only concerned about bringing air in, especially in the winter, I live in Michigan, is it fine to use those fans when it's very cold ?
How much is your electricity? For people with a similar set-up, is it worth it over sending your equipment to a gpu host taking into account the cost and space that it's taking in your house?
@@TheHobbyistMiner yep inline fans ducted out the window. Only 1 large window that slides open on either side so one side is intake the other is exhaust.
@@TheHobbyistMiner I got the ac infinity tent 846 I guess - 120cm*60cm* 150cm, then 2x t8 blowers (you have the 6inch version) - 1x for intake and one for extract. I want to avoid dust coming from the outside. What filters should use for the 8 inch intake without losing CFM performance? These t8 do around 800cfm Btw, rig is 14x3080s with 7+7 shelf
4" is tiny. Grow rooms with even 1x 1000 watt grow light uses a minimum 6" , generally 8-12" intake and exhausts. 2 exhausts doesn't matter if your using only one intake... I would plan on using both intake and exhausts year round. And if using ac x go heat pump and plan on strictly extracting your rig heat. No intakes or exhausts, sealed room with heat pump
Yeah shocked he used 4". I consulted HVAC forums before I did my setup and found out that for each inch you add the airflow goes up exponentially, making 4 inch way more restricted than you would think. True dual 8" is really what he needs for a room like this unless he plans to only do a couple thousand watts Max. Just my opinion and I could be dead wrong.
There's not really much to it, and you can learn a lot of it from videos. Keep in mind your skin and hair always pick up static electricity, so you always need to touch the metal frame of your rig to earth out before touching any components... you can also buy an earthing wristband strap if you want (I don't use those). For a rig, expense is an issue you might want to keep under control. Go for a good quality power supply and gpus. The cpu, ram and motherboard can be cheaper varieties - ie an i7 is not required, a celeron is usually all you need. 8GB ram is fine!! 120GB ssd is ample. Used gpus are fine but try to buy ones that have only been used for gaming or business. You also need to keep track of your temperatures. A simple program for that is called OpenHardwareMonitor. There are better ones but that is free and very easy to use. For an operating system you can use windows10 or go for a linux based system such as HiveOS or similar. You can always change your OS easily if you use USB sticks. You're in for a lot of fun :)
Ergo is more profitable than eth every few days so it’s a wash after conversion fees generally. Ergo uses a tad less electricity, so for me about half my cards see about the same return. I assume he is mining ergo on the 3060s because of the eth limiter and ergo can be mined on 4g gpus as well. My main rig with most of my 8g cards is still doing eth, my 4g cards are all doing ergo, and my gaming rig and my 3060 rig are windows machines (so I can play games and also mine eth at full hash rate on the 3060s) are just running NiceHash for convenience, and to bank a bit of btc without having to mess with exchanging all the time. If I were less lazy I would be mining whatever is the most profitable all the time and buying alt coins but swapping algorithms all the time can cause downtime, I work a lot so I don’t always have time to play the exchange game and with huge price fluctuations all the time it’s just easier. I need to be able to not mess with my rigs for a week at a time sometimes, and this covers my bases. Just my 2 cents though.
great but my question is that how Power Department let people like you having such High power consumption? I mean this should need to apply for a license to get Such consumption from Power Department with a high amper Powerbox, don't!
Amazing... love it. Definitely feel like the concrete floor should be sealed at least. Concrete and brick both make their own dust

How much is your electricity? For people with a similar set-up, is it worth it over sending your equipment to a gpu host taking into account the cost and space that it's taking in your house?
My electricity is 0.07317 $/kWh in addition I have Solar.
Doing a great job!!!!!
Looks great my dude! I have a spare bedroom for my mining room but I'm renting so cant make a lot of modifications and I'm very jealous.
So do you have Exhaust Fans in your windows or?
@@TheHobbyistMiner yep inline fans ducted out the window. Only 1 large window that slides open on either side so one side is intake the other is exhaust.
Came back to this video to ask you some help about the filtering. I have the same system and i would like to request your help regarding the filter
What can I help with?
@@TheHobbyistMiner I got the ac infinity tent 846 I guess - 120cm*60cm* 150cm, then 2x t8 blowers (you have the 6inch version) - 1x for intake and one for extract.
I want to avoid dust coming from the outside. What filters should use for the 8 inch intake without losing CFM performance? These t8 do around 800cfm
Btw, rig is 14x3080s with 7+7 shelf
There are no easy solutions out there. Here is what I did

Is that 2x 4” pipes connection to another 4” 🤔
Starting to come along!
A little each week!
Looking good !!!
Thanks 👍
Any reason you chose metal framing for your walls? Must be expensive. Then again I did just see my brother spend $87 on a single sheet of subfloor.
Steel Studs are Cheaper than Wood Studs in the US right now. Plus easier to adjust and make changes.
Awesome. This renovation must be costing a fortune! What's the ROI gonna be like on the expenditure?
Whats the permitting process like for this. ha ha ha ha
4" is tiny. Grow rooms with even 1x 1000 watt grow light uses a minimum 6" , generally 8-12" intake and exhausts. 2 exhausts doesn't matter if your using only one intake... I would plan on using both intake and exhausts year round. And if using ac x go heat pump and plan on strictly extracting your rig heat. No intakes or exhausts, sealed room with heat pump
I appreciate the recommendation, will keep that in mind. Going to be a learning process for sure.
Yeah shocked he used 4". I consulted HVAC forums before I did my setup and found out that for each inch you add the airflow goes up exponentially, making 4 inch way more restricted than you would think. True dual 8" is really what he needs for a room like this unless he plans to only do a couple thousand watts Max. Just my opinion and I could be dead wrong.
Appreciated. Will consider more growth.
Do epoxy flooring, looks more nicer than laminate
You should rename your channel to "The Industrial Miner", this is not hobby grade anymore lol
Enjoy the rest of your week :)
no longer hobbiest miner. expert miner now :p
Little data center in the basement. Hope you don’t plan on moving anytime soon, that’s a lot of work
I’ve never even built a computer, how much of learning curve is it to build a small rig?
Probably a bit easier then building a pc
There's not really much to it, and you can learn a lot of it from videos. Keep in mind your skin and hair always pick up static electricity, so you always need to touch the metal frame of your rig to earth out before touching any components... you can also buy an earthing wristband strap if you want (I don't use those). For a rig, expense is an issue you might want to keep under control. Go for a good quality power supply and gpus. The cpu, ram and motherboard can be cheaper varieties - ie an i7 is not required, a celeron is usually all you need. 8GB ram is fine!! 120GB ssd is ample. Used gpus are fine but try to buy ones that have only been used for gaming or business. You also need to keep track of your temperatures. A simple program for that is called OpenHardwareMonitor. There are better ones but that is free and very easy to use. For an operating system you can use windows10 or go for a linux based system such as HiveOS or similar. You can always change your OS easily if you use USB sticks. You're in for a lot of fun :)
@@thequietkiwi Thats amazing thanks for your help!
@@chazprouk Much love from NZ bro. All the best.
Might need more airflow, but cool project.
The light 💡 on ground in the mining room don’t it produce heat
Yeah was just for the video for you to see
@@TheHobbyistMiner kool bro 😎
got a link for those red psu cables?
Yes Sir. They are from www.infinitecables.com/
@@TheHobbyistMiner thanks!
Why not mine eth, sell it and then buy ergo?
Ergo is more profitable than eth every few days so it’s a wash after conversion fees generally. Ergo uses a tad less electricity, so for me about half my cards see about the same return. I assume he is mining ergo on the 3060s because of the eth limiter and ergo can be mined on 4g gpus as well. My main rig with most of my 8g cards is still doing eth, my 4g cards are all doing ergo, and my gaming rig and my 3060 rig are windows machines (so I can play games and also mine eth at full hash rate on the 3060s) are just running NiceHash for convenience, and to bank a bit of btc without having to mess with exchanging all the time. If I were less lazy I would be mining whatever is the most profitable all the time and buying alt coins but swapping algorithms all the time can cause downtime, I work a lot so I don’t always have time to play the exchange game and with huge price fluctuations all the time it’s just easier. I need to be able to not mess with my rigs for a week at a time sometimes, and this covers my bases. Just my 2 cents though.
@@zachc2678 Makes sense. nice reply
Maybe epoxy the floor, like people with a proxy garage close?
Thats not a bad idea.
Full proof setup👍
Are they t6 or t8?
I recommend T8 1000%. Which are 8".
immersion setup ...wayyyyyy more efficient and cheaper dcx/ beemer miner/ etc
i used to grow herbs in a tent a few years ago, my state being legal now i think about getting back into it often 🤔
great but my question is that how Power Department let people like you having such High power consumption? I mean this should need to apply for a license to get Such consumption from Power Department with a high amper Powerbox, don't!
that sounds like the grocery store requiring you to get a license to buy lots of apples.
