I am running in the 60% area for now and in the fall I will clock higher.
also remember my summer power is 16.7 + say 2.3 for ac costs. so 19 cents
my winter power is 12.7 - say 3 cents for free heat so 9.7 cents.
so OCT 1 my power bill is dropped 45- 50% until June 1 next year.
Is it dry enough where you're at for evaporative cooling to work?
nah it is not that I can't do some cooling I just never bothered to because the summer power price does the jump from 12.7 to 16.7.
this is the first time in year I can do some in-house mining in the summer.
I do have a lot of gear at the solar array.
as long as I keep the amps at 10 x 240 volts = 2400 watts most of the heat just stays in the garage. So far the hottest day has been is 95/96 and the garage was 97.
rest of the house was 77-81
first summer bill was okay. 700 but the gear made 3300 . I would take that for the summer.
I am going to reduce in house foot print a little more. pulling 4 1080 ti's out. and bringing 1 in. that is about 400 less watts.
Oh man, i feel so bad for you, at least here in California we're lucky, my prices don't jump at all, I just pay the low low rate of $0.32. Hooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
