Hello Everyone, first time I’m posting on here, and hopefully I can get some good help and the answer I’m looking for!

I’ve been reading forums /watching videos about mining farms and cooling them and just have not been able to find the answer I’m looking for.

Basically, I’m am in the process of opening a farm in the UK which will have around 100 GPU to begin with which i am looking to increase. And around 20 Antminer (Mix of s9 and L3).

The only thing that I am finding hard to work out which is probably also one of the most important things is the ventilation/ cooling. I understand that simple air intake and extract using commercial fans will be sufficient during the winter. But I am worried this will not help in the summer and my miner will begin to overheat.

I am going to be operating in a industrial unit, which is around 1500 sq ft and I just don’t know how I should go about placing the miners. I have thought of putting the in rows on a raised floor to bring in cool air from outside and then extract it from above. But hitting temps of 30-35 Celsius in summer, this can become a problem.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Also. If someone can get me the answer I need am definaltly looking to tip as this will help me so much!



Hi,

I'm also from the UK and have 100 GPUs running. Don't you find the electric costs sky high over here? Looking around on the internet, even in some parts of the US I'm sure I read somewhere people are only paying $0.06 per KW/H. Changing the air in the room is the best bet for cooling, but also filtering the incoming air to stop dust particles is really important. I actually have a load of huge fans / filters spare at the moment as I was due to move into a building but the deal with the owner went sour.

Can't PM you as I don't think i have enough posts.
