I've already been down this road with the tent and exhaust. I was exhausting into the fireplace. Problem was i was sucking out my AC with the exhaust. Good on you thats not your problem as far as sucking out your AC. I hope that air your sucking from outside the house to the inside of the tent is low humidity. GPU manufacturers will void your warranty when they see humidity damage. As far as liquid cooling the cards, Now you're on the right track. Thats what i did. Now i'm not sucking out any of my AC to exhuast the heat. You will produce the same amount of heat even when they're liquid cooled. All you're doing is transferring the heat to the radiator. Like i said you're on the right track. You've almost got this whole thing figured out but you haven't thought this through enough. At this point you can ditch the tent or keep it and just leave your PSU and GPUS on the waterblock inside the tent bc they will produce heat but obviously no where near as much as the cards themselves. Turn your exhaust fans as low as they'll go and eject the heat out the window like you're doing. But what you need to do, and this is the KEY. You need to build a box to house your radiators and put them outside on the other side of the wall. Drill to small holes for your inlet and outlet tubes and run them thru the wall. Now the tubing from the water blocks inside the tent will circulate water from the tent thru the wall to the outside where the radiators are and all your heat will be ejected outside into the atmosphere. Get the radiators out of your house! You're going to need 2x Dual DDC pumps bc you need A LOT of head pressure for as many blocks as you have. I have 8 Ti's and 1 Dual DDC pump gets the job done. Any more blocks than that and i'd need more. I also have 2X 480mm MONSTA RADS. WHen its cool outside my GPU's running OC'd to the max run at 20c. In summer when its 90f in the shade they run at 55c. When its 90f the rads are still being cooled with 30c air. YOu have a shitload of water cooling research to do but this is the best way to do it. Believe me i'm telling you from experience. You're welcome!
That's a good joke. But GPU mining rigs usually have a decent CPU and decent amount of RAM (4gb to 8 gb), because only the GPUs are working hard. If they were pushed to game like Crysis, even if the game could use all 10 gpus, the CPUs will definitely bottleneck the entire thing.
One thing would like to highlight was the duct position should be arrange higher than the outlet on the window so heavy rain won’t gets in and flow into the tent
There was an awning outside of the window so that was not a concern for this setup. I recommend the exhaust on top (hot air tises) and intake on bottom for higher static pressure. Or dual exhaust for more air flow.
Thank you so much! I will post an update video as soon as it is done! The cutouts distribute the cold air fairly well and keeps all the GPUs at relatively the same temperature. The bottom cards do run a bit hotter than the top ones.
It actually won't and I already tried that, the problem is that the graphics cards are actually blowing air down rather than up (probably the fan design) I'm thinking of trying an exhaust on the bottom and an intake on the top just to see if I can improve the internal temps. Either way next week this computer will be fully water cooled and will make the room even quieter and cooler
I made something similar with a large clear storage bin from Walmart for $21 and added 2 bathroom exhaust fans for $15/each. The storage bins are modular and easy to stack. Total cost was under $100. Let me know if you want me to post a video or at least links to what I built.
What happens to the pipes outside the window? If the ends are too close to each other you might be recycling hot air, 75C is still very hot and shortening the lifespan of your GPUs. A capacitor at 65C will last twice as long as one at 75C.
I see a couple of issues taking in air from the outside, the humidity and dirt is going to cause corrosion and other issues over time. There is no problem with exhausting hot air to the outside , but taking in untreated air is asking for issues over time. I've seen people take air conditioner outputs directly to rigs, this will cause condensation that will corrode and destroy everything over time. Normal server room temperatures are round 60-70F.
You should try straightening out the lower intake tube. Any time you have sharp turns, especially a 180 degree like shown coming through the tent and turning to the fan, you generate high losses. Since your intake fan is after the turn you are actually restricting the about of air coming into the system due to your losses. I would move that intake fan outside of the tent, and then straighten the tubes as much as possible inside.
I know the only issue is that I dont have much space and if I place the other fan on the top of the case a lot of the heat is put back into the tent.... I will try straightening it out! stay tuned!
closest-num-2-0 Yea man I heard, subbed and looking forward to more useful content (: Water cooling is probably still too professional for me. Summer is coming tho and I will have to find a solution.
Be wary of crossing extension cords because you could inadvertently create induction between them. For the love of God make sure they are not coiled up at any point. Also make sure to keep an eye on the temp of the plugs between junction points from the outlet to plug. Resistance points are what can burn your house down. Blowing cold air directly on cards without control for moisture can compromise internal components.
would wrapping cords in foil fix this? what causes the plugs to get hot when the cords do not? my rigs that are plugged into 15a outlets using 14ga cords running 1200 watts each don't get hot at all, but my one rig using a 12ga cord plugged into a 20a outlet using the same wattage and the plug gets hot. I have turned the power on that one all the way down for now until I can figure it out so it stays cool. Is the outlet bad? It's one of those gfci outlets. Thanks man
Beaches To the best of my knowledge tinfoil will not help. What will help is if the cord is fully extended and is separated from other electric cords. The reason heat builds up at the plug is because that's where restrictions happen with the flow of electrons. Imagine the plug is a door and when it get hot the door becomes tighter causing you to rub up against it creating heat as you enter. With electricity to much heat is a slippery slope because more resistance is added. I would check to make sure the ends of the cord don't have any burn marks. If so it's time for a new cord. Also check to make sure the ground on the plug is not broken because it's common for those to crack when cords get yanked. Worst case try a new cord and a different plug if you can. Hope this helps stay safe my miner friends.
What about dust coming into that tent from outside? you need to put into intake air place some filters arrangement. Standard Air filters are designed to take 400 to 500 feet per minute of air velocity. So, to calculate the filters Area (in square feet): A=500/Q, where Q is the intake Fan Air flow (in cubic feet per minute). Regards.
Decent video though I am a bit curious about a few things. You went on about the temp of the room but barely scratched the temp of inside the tent which is generally speaking the important part of any mining rig. Also you have a LOT of fans both inside and outside the tent. Exactly how much power is all that stuff taking? It almost seems like just the cooling solutions of your set up would be fairly expensive and highly dependent on the climate of where you live. After all the warmer the ambient air is outside the less effective your cooling solution would be. The only other worry I would have about doing this is you have something like 10-20k dollars worth of graphics cards right there. All right next to a window with an exhaust tube pretty much screaming where it is. Depending again where you live and if your on the first or second floor it's almost an invite for some one to try and rob your house.
A lot of AC units use similar exhaust setups. This one was exhausting out of my dorm room into a quad. Each 120mm fan uses .15Amps at 5V the bigger fans use around 150 watts. The additional power needed for cooling is negligible xonaidering that there is 4000 watts worth of GPUs in that tent.
That's a good solution, but dangerous at the same time. If there are any fan failures in any part of the system, your rigs are going to fry so fast in that tent and a real fire hazard.
there is an auto shut down for the computers if they exceed a certain temperature limit as well as one fan having enough CFM to push air through the whole system. It works as a fail safe and I am not worried about the components overheating.
This is a good idea but i think it would be better if you just used the fans to exhaust out of the tent and pull air in passively rather than use the fans to blow air into the tent. Pretty cool setup though.
You should try to lower your temps. That single 6" exhaust isn't powerful enough or your temps would be much lower than 80's. Also how long have you had the fan and how is it doing? A lot of inline fans like that have thermal limits. Not sure how much space you have on that window but I'd try dual intake and dual exhaust and switch up to 8" if you can. If you mount vertical & horizontal you can put four 8" tubes on that window. You can use two Y adapters if you only want to run one hose into each side of the tent. Though I would do two 8" inline for intake and one 10" or 12" vortex centrifugal for exhaust. The vortex centrifugal is very robust and will hold up to the the heat. Actually cheapest might be just try both 6" for intake and then get the more powerful centrifugal for exhaust. But put filters on those intake fans. Using speed controllers like you do will keep the noise down. Go for neutral or slightly negative pressure for best temps. If you're worried about noise from the centrifugal build a quiet box for it. Otherwise, good job.
Why would you need the internal fans when you already have airflow into the tent? Try to turn them off and see how the temperature changes. It probably won't even go up.
god I think he's running the power of the GPU's at 100% just SOOO inefficient. 75% would dramatically lower the heat, noise and electricity usage while only loosing small bit of performance, there is good reason why most miners do this.. He is spending a bucket load on cooling and stressing his cards unnecessarily.
not to mention undervolting/overclocking combo. ;) I have 1060 6Gb rig undervolted and overclocked hitting 24 to 25MH/s on Etherminer,cards rarely go above 58/60 Celcius. ;)
It's not power efficient, but it's financially efficient. The latter is what matters. Pay $1 per day more in electricity for $3 per day more in revenue. Hashes per Watt is meaningless unless your'e paying like 25 cents/kWh.
Yea I have done this math as well for myself but there is more to it here, when your struggling with noise and heat and your cards are 84C constantly, then no I can't agree, its stupid to be at 100% power.
@@Battleneter I am at 100% power on all 6 of my RTX 570 and they are not 84C, they hold a steady 65c. It is hotter than I want but from what I ahve found around the web before I dove into crypto mining 70 is usually the top end. SO I guess I am good. I will be better tomorrow I have a turbo box fan coming in, that should help with the cooling a bit.
I'm doing this, but during the summer I suck cold air into the crawl space of my house and into the mining rig, then during day I suck the cold air out from under the house the that was banked all night into the rig :D
Good idea! Is it working yet? What is the average external and internal temperature? Does the hood cause a lot of noise? Any suggestions for improvement?
This is so damn perfect and exactly what I had in mind! I did not know they made those small tents. Thank you for the video! I have the same exact setup. 12 x 1080ti's and same frames. =D
Div Inf Industries LLC - bro, corasir PSU for mining are the worst what can be! I had two 1000HX same time connected to mining rig - I burned them both because corsair PSU fan stops working - actually it does not spin fans all the time and nearly to fire temperatures!
Do you just have the fans running constantly for the tent? What are the ambient tent temps? Just wondering cause I have a similar setup with a woodbox and plexi glass though. Home made. I run a fan (with sensor) and ambient temps with 16 cards are around 103-105. Cards run beautifully and around 55-60 and one trouble area card running around 68-71.
HI, Please share me the link from where you bough the black cloth box . if possible please share the aliexpress link as i am from India and would be able to buy easily from Aliexpress
curious to know if you've had issues running two risers off 1 molex strand? seeing as though risers can pull up to 75w and molex is rated to 105w you've got a 30w short fall in available load capacity from the molex strand. Sounds like a potential hazard
I dont understand why everyones temps are so high, my cards havent been hotter than 51c while mining with nicehash, i keep my pc in my basement and its quite tight down there. Around 5cm on each side of my pc
I did a very similar setup. First I only had an exhaust at the top. I've got about 17 cards mix between rx 580 and rx 570. All properly undervolted. Ambient temp inside the tent reached near 110F. Each card ranged from 59C to 65C-70C. After adding an intake fan and making the cutouts all my card temps rose around 10C-15C. Ambient temp stayed the same as well. Any idea what would be causing that?
Where do you get those brackets that join the fans together by their corners? Seem like a neat solution to a cheap frameless design. I think your cooling solution overall is pretty nifty.
Were you able to get the yellow pieces that connect the fans together ? If so please provide a link or info where I can buy them. Great Job and thanks.
I'm seriously thinking of doing this but one thing is stopping me. What temperature are you intaking into the tent? The outside of my apartment where I live goes like 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit since it's about to be summer. Can I still do this? What would be a cheap and effective way to get airflow in there? Thanks.
Ok so you do know your still exceeding the temperature that is recommended for gpu mining and pluse you have it in a grow tent. My rig is bigger then that and I cool it at about 65 farenheit using one small ac unit
I like what you did, but somehow my cards are running much cooler without the tent and such. I'm wondering if the tent based on the layout is making the cards run hotter. Do you know temps from before the tent of the cards? Also, I love the idea of water cooling, but it's pretty expensive, isn't it over $100 per card?
the cards run at about 75C which is better than when the room was a toasty 95F also water cooling is a must when I am trying to build this PC for AI programming GPU mining is the side gig.
I'm in a similar position, learnt all I could about the other craft, now I've got my flowering tent full of rigs, and it's been a blast to learn, and profitable!
Does it matter where You buying Your cards? I already got my 1080ti in april in "reasonable" (compare to prices now) price so it does not effect me, but You still killing the PC gaming. The saddest thing is that most people like You are PC gamers and they dont care what they doing to their own community.... How many people going to consols because of GPU prices. We will all suffer because of You and people like You, smaller user base means less sells for devs, less sells means less content.... no wonder every second game coming as an exclusive for some shit console. It will be only worst.
cool design! what was the total cost of this tent? what do you think about converting server cases into rig cases? more importantly...where did you get all the cards haha
I got the cards during an overseas trip to asia for MSRP. I think server cases are great and compact than this however they run hot and loud which I personally want to minimize. if you have a spare room then I think its a great solution.
I am dumbfounded why would you enable the integrated graphic cards? i would never enable the integrated graphic cards in 1000 years.. if anything it will lower your hashrate significantly
@@divinfLLC Thanks for the reply. I figured that out later, it should have two fans for redundancy n the rig should have built in components that should stop operating when reaches certain presets temp. Some mining guys also advice both fans should be sucking warn air out cause force air in is not as affective
Any of these work! Make sure to leave space between the tent walls and the rig or it heat will leave through the walls of the tent and will be hard to repair. www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=grow+tent this is the tent that I purchased: www.amazon.com/Zazzy-Plant-Growing-Hydroponic-Indoor/dp/B074J9WVYR/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517203280&sr=8-1&keywords=zazzy+36x24
Did you watch the whole video? It's extremely clean due to filters placed on the intake of the air vent and the the tent does a phenomenal job of keeping stray dust out. This is a working and tested method for mining cooling so I would try it before saying it's a "no". I would be more worried about static electricity without the tent created by the extra dust.
Maby you can help me out. Im using the same motherboard and one I plug in the 4th gpu- goal is 8, I can't boot up. Ive been through many build videos and into the bios setting. But just can't get it past three gpus. I reach out for help, but people don't respond. Unplug the 4th and boom we good. You also mentioned some hdmi cables? How are you using them? Thx for your time
You make some mistake over there men, first of all, hot air is heavy than cold air, so the exauster have to be on top suckuing all the hot air and the fan have to blow air to the case is more air flow efficient make it colder. after all i like very good if you live in an urban zone like apartments.
Actually cold air is heavier, less energy (colder) means more dense. But you are right that is why exhaust are usually on the top to allow for the lighter hot air to escape naturally and cold air comes in from the bottom, warming up and moving up continuing the cycle (heat engine). But, again, in this case it doesn't matter since he has a negative pressure to drive the flow, only need cold air outside and it's all good, though keeping the exhaust and the inlet further apart would be better (so the hot air leaving doesn't go back inside)
pretty nice idea with the tent, but if I wanted to do something similar to this I'd go a little bit further in being able to reduce the noise with noise filtering materials that can block out the sound of the fans. Probably building the rig out of wood or some other materials, mounted with metal brackets and using rubber stands to reduce vibration of the fans, as for the cables I'd have them sleeved through a silicone tube and fitted through holes in the frame to the outside, since keeping a tight airflow would be important when pulling air into the system, as well as exhausing it out the other end using negative pressure, that should help keep air temperature and the room temperature down with a tight vacuum seal everywhere so nothing escapes through gaps.
Can't do that in a dorm room ;) the tent folds back up into its carrying case. I had to move apartments a few times while in college when I made this video.
Will the watercooling of 1080ti's ever hit ROI? Seems like you'd just throw money in a way that'll never pay itself off, and with Volta around the corner, maybe spending extra money on 1080ti's is not the best way to go
- You growing weed?
- Nope, mining potcoins.
Growing pot didn't work so I turned my grow tent into a mining rig.

I have 1060 6Gb rig undervolted and overclocked hitting 24 to 25MH/s on Etherminer,cards rarely go above 58/60 Celcius. ;)
It's not power efficient, but it's financially efficient. The latter is what matters. Pay $1 per day more in electricity for $3 per day more in revenue. Hashes per Watt is meaningless unless your'e paying like 25 cents/kWh.
Yea I have done this math as well for myself but there is more to it here, when your struggling with noise and heat and your cards are 84C constantly, then no I can't agree, its stupid to be at 100% power.
@@Battleneter I am at 100% power on all 6 of my RTX 570 and they are not 84C, they hold a steady 65c. It is hotter than I want but from what I ahve found around the web before I dove into crypto mining 70 is usually the top end. SO I guess I am good. I will be better tomorrow I have a turbo box fan coming in, that should help with the cooling a bit.
I'm doing this, but during the summer I suck cold air into the crawl space of my house and into the mining rig, then during day I suck the cold air out from under the house the that was banked all night into the rig :D
Neat setup! What are you using to suck the air out? (That tubular device on top)
Thanks!
NICE setup!! Inspiring. Now if I can just get my hands on some more GPUs...
Good idea! Is it working yet? What is the average external and internal temperature? Does the hood cause a lot of noise? Any suggestions for improvement?
Great work brother thanks so much for sharing!
This is so damn perfect and exactly what I had in mind! I did not know they made those small tents. Thank you for the video! I have the same exact setup. 12 x 1080ti's and same frames. =D
No problem! Its a great solution!
Div Inf Industries LLC - bro, corasir PSU for mining are the worst what can be! I had two 1000HX same time connected to mining rig - I burned them both because corsair PSU fan stops working - actually it does not spin fans all the time and nearly to fire temperatures!
so do you have them turned off now since bitcoin market is harsh?
Nice! You still mining with this hardware (oct/2021)?
Do you just have the fans running constantly for the tent? What are the ambient tent temps? Just wondering cause I have a similar setup with a woodbox and plexi glass though. Home made. I run a fan (with sensor) and ambient temps with 16 cards are around 103-105. Cards run beautifully and around 55-60 and one trouble area card running around 68-71.
HI,
Please share me the link from where you bough the black cloth box . if possible please share the aliexpress link as i am from India and would be able to buy easily from Aliexpress
What do you use to filter the air coming from the outside? Thanks for the video, I'm currently assembling a tent for my 2 rigs. :)
I used a dryer sheet!
Ah yes. Gotta balance the noise and acoustics
Very nice job man
Awesome, a nice alternative to my mineral oil crypto mining rig.
Would love
to know where to get that tent!
Hey bud, how these rigs doing now in the summertime? Curious to see how the hotter incoming air changes the numbers. Thanks for the video.
curious to know if you've had issues running two risers off 1 molex strand? seeing as though risers can pull up to 75w and molex is rated to 105w you've got a 30w short fall in available load capacity from the molex strand. Sounds like a potential hazard
Molex is 54 watts. The rest is powered through the motherboard
I dont understand why everyones temps are so high, my cards havent been hotter than 51c while mining with nicehash, i keep my pc in my basement and its quite tight down there. Around 5cm on each side of my pc
I did a very similar setup. First I only had an exhaust at the top. I've got about 17 cards mix between rx 580 and rx 570. All properly undervolted. Ambient temp inside the tent reached near 110F. Each card ranged from 59C to 65C-70C. After adding an intake fan and making the cutouts all my card temps rose around 10C-15C. Ambient temp stayed the same as well. Any idea what would be causing that?
Where do you get those brackets that join the fans together by their corners? Seem like a neat solution to a cheap frameless design. I think your cooling solution overall is pretty nifty.
Were you able to get the yellow pieces that connect the fans together ? If so please provide a link or info where I can buy them. Great Job and thanks.
Late to the video lol but i like the reused a grow tent for mining hahaha
Omg water cooled mining rig! Sick!
I like the tent, can you please share where to get that size. Thank you
Please check out my other video here: ruclips.net/video/wRCjg0cMCBE/видео.html
@@divinfLLC thank you so much for sharing this
I'm seriously thinking of doing this but one thing is stopping me. What temperature are you intaking into the tent? The outside of my apartment where I live goes like 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit since it's about to be summer. Can I still do this? What would be a cheap and effective way to get airflow in there? Thanks.
Hello, what would be the optimal room temperature inside the tent?
Ok so you do know your still exceeding the temperature that is recommended for gpu mining and pluse you have it in a grow tent. My rig is bigger then that and I cool it at about 65 farenheit using one small ac unit
How do you cool it with a small AC unit?
Now you just need to solar power it to say you get paid?
hahaha a grow tent, legendary.
I like what you did, but somehow my cards are running much cooler without the tent and such. I'm wondering if the tent based on the layout is making the cards run hotter. Do you know temps from before the tent of the cards?
Also, I love the idea of water cooling, but it's pretty expensive, isn't it over $100 per card?
the cards run at about 75C which is better than when the room was a toasty 95F also water cooling is a must when I am trying to build this PC for AI programming GPU mining is the side gig.
Can you give us the links to all the equipment please. Great vid
So the real question is, which ones making more money? the sea of green crop that you would have pulled up every few months or the mining rig?
definitely the mining rig cause its a great learning experience!
I'm in a similar position, learnt all I could about the other craft, now I've got my flowering tent full of rigs, and it's been a blast to learn, and profitable!
Bro very impressive!!
Thank you!
I think I missed the part you mentioned the average GPU temp, how high is it?
Please provide links to parts: fan / air pump, cooler cage, etc
check out my most recent video! ruclips.net/video/wRCjg0cMCBE/видео.html
they're gonna think your growing ganja looking at ur window hahaha
Great video. What is the temp in the tent and and the temp of the gpu's?
GPUs run from 70 to 80C in the tent, I have not measured the tent it self but probably around 40C (HOT)....
closest-num-2-0..... 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. That's too hot for gpu's to be running at.
curious what's your current profit rate with 12 1080ti's?
drew alt411 hell let you know in 2 years when he pays them off.
Depends on what he mined 3weeks if he mined garlic ciin and sold it when it was high a few weeks ago
what is your Case dimension? how i can find it? Did you cover inside with aluminium or its came like this? Answer please..
Whats the highest humidity you get in your state? any filters for outside dust etc ?
Spends a fortune on GPUs...contributes to the GPU crazy prices....burns coal for a few coins. F@@K mining.
more important whats the avr GPU temp?
Please make a video like Angry Chicken because his video is no more available!
Oh no! Thanks for the update! I will make a new video soon!
wow 12 1080TI Cards... Say bye bye to cheap cards fellow gamers
Dont worry I buy my cards overseas so it does not effect the market in the US
MrMonocleGaming
are you replying to me or closest-num-2-0
Does it matter where You buying Your cards? I already got my 1080ti in april in "reasonable" (compare to prices now) price so it does not effect me, but You still killing the PC gaming. The saddest thing is that most people like You are PC gamers and they dont care what they doing to their own community.... How many people going to consols because of GPU prices. We will all suffer because of You and people like You, smaller user base means less sells for devs, less sells means less content.... no wonder every second game coming as an exclusive for some shit console. It will be only worst.
yea 6 months from now they will be on ebay for $300
closest-num-2-0 you should just buy some more
omg... outside air cooled mining rig? i bet this rig broke from moisture a week later
nice setup really good idea but where is your WEED lol
happy mining
my question exactly!!! Where´s the damn goodies?????
there is ~ 70db :D , do you have db measure ?
you need noise isolator
I thought there was a little weed in there
cool design! what was the total cost of this tent? what do you think about converting server cases into rig cases?
more importantly...where did you get all the cards haha
I got the cards during an overseas trip to asia for MSRP. I think server cases are great and compact than this however they run hot and loud which I personally want to minimize. if you have a spare room then I think its a great solution.
I am dumbfounded why would you enable the integrated graphic cards? i would never enable the integrated graphic cards in 1000 years.. if anything it will lower your hashrate significantly
Love it!
Thanks, What happen if u away n the circulation fan failed, seems it won’t takes long for the rig in the tent be cooked ?
There are 2 fans. Also heat protection built into the components
@@divinfLLC Thanks for the reply. I figured that out later, it should have two fans for redundancy n the rig should have built in components that should stop operating when reaches certain presets temp. Some mining guys also advice both fans should be sucking warn air out cause force air in is not as affective
that's a fire waiting to happen.....
Your telling every body my idea!
Hey do you a link to the little black tent? Super minimal!
Its just a typical tent for growing weed indoors.
Any of these work! Make sure to leave space between the tent walls and the rig or it heat will leave through the walls of the tent and will be hard to repair.
www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=grow+tent
this is the tent that I purchased:
www.amazon.com/Zazzy-Plant-Growing-Hydroponic-Indoor/dp/B074J9WVYR/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517203280&sr=8-1&keywords=zazzy+36x24
What about the outside moisture?
Is this on 24/7? Your electricity bill must be thru the f'ing roof w/ everything running.
Nope electricity included in utilities ;)
id be extremely worried about static electricity, dust etc.. this is a massive "no" for me
Did you watch the whole video? It's extremely clean due to filters placed on the intake of the air vent and the the tent does a phenomenal job of keeping stray dust out. This is a working and tested method for mining cooling so I would try it before saying it's a "no". I would be more worried about static electricity without the tent created by the extra dust.
do you know the air flow rate of the exhaust fan ?
how much is your cylinder fan's power for air pressure? m3/h?
Maby you can help me out. Im using the same motherboard and one I plug in the 4th gpu- goal is 8, I can't boot up. Ive been through many build videos and into the bios setting. But just can't get it past three gpus. I reach out for help, but people don't respond. Unplug the 4th and boom we good. You also mentioned some hdmi cables? How are you using them? Thx for your time
You need to make sure your cpu can split all it's lanes to the pcie lanes separately
Make sure your power supply can handle that many gpus and make sure your bios is updated to most recent those are two common problems
Beautiful :)
Thank you!
And that's before 3 years ...
You make some mistake over there men, first of all, hot air is heavy than cold air, so the exauster have to be on top suckuing all the hot air and the fan have to blow air to the case is more air flow efficient make it colder. after all i like very good if you live in an urban zone like apartments.
Actually cold air is heavier, less energy (colder) means more dense. But you are right that is why exhaust are usually on the top to allow for the lighter hot air to escape naturally and cold air comes in from the bottom, warming up and moving up continuing the cycle (heat engine). But, again, in this case it doesn't matter since he has a negative pressure to drive the flow, only need cold air outside and it's all good, though keeping the exhaust and the inlet further apart would be better (so the hot air leaving doesn't go back inside)
When you turn on a space heater does the heat go up or down 😂. Heat rises cold air sinks lmao
what is that cover called?
What is the point to increase the cost of investments by installing these. Costly GPU rate has already risen the RIO
This PC was built for a GPU cluster project mining is the side gig so its okay lol. RGB will always increase hashrates!
Where did you buy that tent
pretty nice idea with the tent, but if I wanted to do something similar to this I'd go a little bit further in being able to reduce the noise with noise filtering materials that can block out the sound of the fans. Probably building the rig out of wood or some other materials, mounted with metal brackets and using rubber stands to reduce vibration of the fans, as for the cables I'd have them sleeved through a silicone tube and fitted through holes in the frame to the outside, since keeping a tight airflow would be important when pulling air into the system, as well as exhausing it out the other end using negative pressure, that should help keep air temperature and the room temperature down with a tight vacuum seal everywhere so nothing escapes through gaps.
Can't do that in a dorm room ;) the tent folds back up into its carrying case. I had to move apartments a few times while in college when I made this video.
Nice bro, you can switch from mining crypto currency to growing that good kush
Will the watercooling of 1080ti's ever hit ROI? Seems like you'd just throw money in a way that'll never pay itself off, and with Volta around the corner, maybe spending extra money on 1080ti's is not the best way to go
I built this PC for matlab AI computations and mining on the side to pay for it so I could care less :)
