Sundownz,

Admiring your setup!  Can you advise on what you run on these systems?  What OS? Are you on a network with a domain controller, or just workgrouping them together? Are you running any anti-virus on them?  What apps are you using to mine and manage your rigs?

-Good to know your build can withstand the NC heat; I am in Richmond, VA, so pretty much in the same boat.

Thanks for the ideas!

Paul

Paul,

1) Windows 10 Pro on all systems - I keep them all 100% updated as well.

2) I use built-in Windows Defender & also my whole network is behind a hardware firewall

3) Right now I user a variety of miners:
    a) Nemosminer on all nVidia GPUs - running on ZPOOL
    b) I use Cpuminer 2.4 on all my CPUs to mine Yescrypt - running on ZPOOL
        * I used to do ITNS on all my CPUs but had issues getting IP banned on the pools... but Yescrypt is doing me well.
    c) I use SGminer on most of my AMD GPUs for Cryptonight (ITNS)
    d) I do have one system with 3x VEGA-64 and I use Cast-XMR on it (ITNS)

4) Right now I don't have any remote admin capacity setup but I am working on that after my vacation:
    a) I am looking into the iBOOT Web PDU units : http://dataprobe.com/iboot/
    b) Software side I am looking at either putting Team Viewer on every system or getting minerstat.com setup
    c) Right now... I check my pool stats to see if miners are online and I have someone at work reset them if needed & I'm not around as my mining setup is at my business.
