Get the average airflow across the vent, which is 90ft/min. Get the dimensions of the vent 2’x1’. Then multiply everything together. 2ft x 1ft x (90ft/min) = 180ft^3 per min. Or 180 cubic fit per min. Do this for each Individual vent.
The people saying don't do a shed.. are probably people that don't have a shed. I personally would never go back to putting my farm back in my house.. just the heat management alone is so much better when everything is in a building designed to exchange vast amounts of air to keep your farm running cool. and not having to battle that heat in your house is a huge benefit in itself.
I should know relatively quickly over the next month if I’ll have to go the shed route. If i wasn’t potentially moving in the next few years i would’ve already done it for sure!
You really inspire me. I am from Africa but everytime I watch your videos I kinda see my self having my farm. I don't have anything yet but I really hope that one day I'll be where you are with your farm and content.
here is a pretty simple and hopefully somewhat cheap idea for you, but build yourself a small plywood box, put a blower fan on one end, and a exhaust fan on the opposite end....push your cool air from your garage across your rigs, all stacked on top of each other inside the middle of the box, and have it blow out near your exhaust fan. If you create basically your own wind tunnel, you will be able to control the temperatures so much easier. What you are dealing with now is a huge open area that isn't ideally focusing temps anywhere, your just hoping that room temp doesn't get to hot and everything melts. Another benefit of creating your own hotbox/wind tunnel, is that you could also employ a portable air conditioner and plumb it into the box if your temperatures get to high for your push/pull fans to handle...mind you that you want to put several filters in to handle any moisture that this might generate, but I think its a pretty sound theory.
My 3070's run cooler than my 3060ti's, I like the Noctura fans over the cheaper ones as they move more air and quieter than all the cheaper fans I found. When it starts to get hot in there, put a fan on the other side of your rigs blowing toward the exhaust.
You should likely move the rigs between the intake and exhaust, it's probably not pulling the majority of heat off the rigs where they are placed today unless you were to channel it around past them. I see some people using grow tents with intake and exhaust to help capture the heat and move it out as well.
ft/min needs to be multiplied by the cross-sectional area the air is moving through, so 120mmx120mm (.129167 ft²) multiplied by the ft/min to get ft^3/min. This can then be multiplied by the number of 120mm fans for your rigs. Your intake and exhaust would be calculated in the same fashion (average intake velocity x total intake filter area). Situating your rigs closer and in the direction of the exhaust with a cold aisle should help out quite a bit. Happy mining!
1 thing you can do is plant some tall bushes around the walls of the garage especially in front of where the exhaust fan is. Anything that can stop direct sunlight from touching the walls of the garage will help drop temps in your garage simply by stopping the conduction of heat transfer from the sun to the walls. Its like the difference between standing in the sun and then going under the shade of a tree
Dope video brother. Love the new tool you got to measure airflow, that’s SO helpful! Also can’t wait for the video showing off your new rig! 36 GPUs! Woot Woot!
Good decision to hold off on the shed. Perhaps get a shelving unit for the rigs and place it closer to your exhaust fan. While there is such a things as "too hot", I sometimes think we miners overthink it. Of course, luck will have one of the Kawpow projects skyrocket and controlling temps will become talk of the town.
you can build a wooden rack close to the exaustor that you have, so the hot air gets out faster, so the hot air doesn stay circulating in the room and waming up the whole place
First person to say it! I thought of this idea as soon as i posted this and will likely do it in the next month. Also going to put insulation board on the sides so it’d almost like a closet with the fan sucking the air out the back and the air pulled through the cards in the front.
on mine i also use a dusty filter that i bought on aliexpress, in front of the fans, so the air pushing in the bottom brigs a less dirty air. before that i was needing to clean very often, this filter are something like 2 dolars
When you were testing the air flow and opened the back door of your Livingroom and the meter started spinning, I realized you have an intake restriction for the exhaust fan in the garage. I would say, enlarge your intakes or make more of them to gain more heat removal.
I just got my anemometer in today. It was 50% off, so it just $15. Mine has a function button that you can set to CFM. Check your manual. You probably have the same option.
Really happy to be on the Xelis journey with you! Many say GPU mining is dead... But when Xelis hits $300 per coin, I'm gonna be laughing all the way to the bank and expanding the farm.
I have the same tool, I did a short with the wind speed I am getting. If you have questions about air flow for cooling let me know. Keep up the great content
I was actually thinking last night of building a little insulation board hut up against the exhaust fan wall. Then i could put a shelf in that hut with all 3 rigs and have all 4000cfm flowing through the cards for very cheap
Do you still plan to try to go solar ? anytime you produce more energy that your whole house is consuming, it's all free electricity and pure profit :) i know it's harder in the US than in europe (at least in france, 3Kw of solar is easy) but i think it's worth if, even more when you setup NetZero with your power utility :)
If you keep telling everyone how profitable it is, it won't be profitable anymore. Yall youtubers really should sit bck and think long and hard about how what you say effects miners.
@ModernMiningHub yes you are a big factor, you said it yourself the hashrate.no numbers aren't right lol. Sucking profits from miners to get paid on your youtube channel is wrong. Sure make mining videos that's awesome, but don't be giving away secrets that sone ppl spent untold hours to find and are now suffering so you can make a youtube buck.
Can the garage survive the summer??

@@ModernMiningHub The way I look at it is, it's a small 8x8 building. I could potentially load that up on a trailer and take it with me if I move.

I am selling some rx 580 gpus and some vega 64 gpus. I hope some of them end up in your hands. Cheap power I assume?

minus the ac. i have been doing this for years not including f@H. ac is not needed
That handheld fan monitor is an easy buy! Thanks for the update MM

My man! I figured it had something to do with applying the area of the fan itself. Thanks for the explanation!

Everything i plant on that side dies haha but Im gonna try some other plants in fall that like full sun
@@ModernMiningHub maybe build some sort of fence and put vines on it or something?
@@downwiththesneaker9933 that was maybe where i was gonna put solar panels haha but don’t think that’s happening anymore.
@ModernMiningHub in that case you can go total decoration anything to stop that sun
Dope video brother. Love the new tool you got to measure airflow, that’s SO helpful! Also can’t wait for the video showing off your new rig! 36 GPUs! Woot Woot!
It might be 12 3070 ftw3 cards. May be the coolest rig on RUclips if that’s the case.

Agreed. I would be concerned the air is getting stuck under the cabinets. This is why panda had to move his open air rigs closer to the exhaust fans.

if noice is not a problem, just buy the bitmain fans. cost 10 dollars each and have great airflow.
Never thought about that decent backup plan if things get too hot!

I don’t really have any way to increase the amount of intakes but may just remove the screens on the current ones.

I checked it out looks like you’ve got your intake filtration on point!
@@ModernMiningHub thanks 🙏 only took 2 years lol 🤣
Nice!
Bought 4 asus strix 3070 for 920$ today
have a total of 13 3070s now going to buy 3 more and hopefully stop so I don’t pay the hive os fee
Smart man! That’s a good deal too
Start vaping to test airflow patterns 😅Works great and highly stimulating
Can’t have one around or I hit it nonstop lol
Time to get the broom working my dude! Hehe
Very nice Bro. ❤❤ good
nice flags man!
Get some used 12x octominer cases. They have psu’s, motherboards and better airflow
Debated on doing this too we’ll see if it’s necessary!
@@ModernMiningHub You had worried earlier it was more expensive. It’s not. It was cheaper than my open rigs
Try out hot/ cold type partition
Unless u got a shed for free or whatnot. Yeah I guess they’re right. Improve garage
Yea man the shed ain't worth it. At this point you might as well do a giant grow tent inside ur garage would be much cheaper imo
I was actually thinking last night of building a little insulation board hut up against the exhaust fan wall. Then i could put a shelf in that hut with all 3 rigs and have all 4000cfm flowing through the cards for very cheap

Not at my current house, just don’t have any great areas for multiple panels sadly.
@@ModernMiningHub Oh okey, so maybe a project for your next house / mining location then :)
Is that a braves logo or Alabama football grill cover ??? lol
Hahaha Alabama grill cover baby!
@@ModernMiningHub aw sweet I’m in Pelham if you know where that is! Gotta farm same size as yours.
@@ModernMiningHub Roll Tide!
Are you mining Xelis coin? For me to be worth it needs to be worth more than $19.00 since I pay energy.
What are your thoughts of 3060s and 1660 supers for mining currently?
I think both are decent. I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to purchase 1660 supers at this point though.
Place the gpus under the exaust fan.
That may be the eventual plan but rain is an issue currently. Might put an exhaust hood on the outside though to fix rhat
gpu mining is dead, what are you doing???
By the time it’s alive it will be too late
If you keep telling everyone how profitable it is, it won't be profitable anymore. Yall youtubers really should sit bck and think long and hard about how what you say effects miners.
Or conversely the price goes up because more people get exposure to the coin. It’s on hashrate.no we are not a big factor
