Hey Everyone, been busy with life recently so ive not had a real chance to come on here much, plus i was kinda licking my wounds on the whole Bitconnect thing and stepped away from crypto for a few weeks... granted i technically didnt loose any money, because i withdrew more than my initial amount, but i had a nice little nest egg built up in that system and had done a new loan of 30k+ 2 days prior to the site shutting down and exiting.......

So....been just letting the newer rigs just do what they do best working out some kinks i had with my watercooling system and actually redesigned it compared to the origional way i was going about things.. I had 2 industrial inline waterpumps fail on me in the first month of running the watercooling system due to the bushings around the shafts getting to tight and causing resistance on the motor to overcome, leading to excess motor temps, now im running some submergable pumps in hopes of longer life out of them, if these end up failing im planning to switch to externally driven waterpumps that a friend of mine recommened... basically pulley driven chevy automotive waterpump.......

I have really come to a standstill with my mining setup due to the lack of GPU's available at reasonable prices... curious what all of yall been involved with...... Im only up to 47 GPU's at the moment, wishing i could get more around MSRP pricing... Sad, My rigs have been super super stable with the new watercooling setup, the ability to maintain temps on all the cards within +/-3 degrees has allowed them to produce more overall hash power and less buggy lockups and restarts that i had prior to going watercooling. Currently i have 100% of my entire mining rigs running on watercooling.

 


I'd love to hear more about your water cooling setup.  Have you posted details elsewhere already?  Care to share some?  Thanks!!
