Now a new problem, how to run 8600W of Avalons... thank goodness its winter!

Long, long time ago I used 6000W electric heater to successfully heat 3-room apartment in continental climate. Good luck with cooling all that equipment.

Easy, crack a window Wink

It's not just what to do with all the heat, though, right? The typical standard for US single family homes is 100 amp service, and less for apartments. With those machines running 24/7, it should leave around 25 amps for all the rest of the appliances and environmental uses in the house.

Yes that is true but I was only replying to his statement "Good luck with cooling all that equipment". Having the power to run them all is definitely the real problem Tongue

You guys are soo funny. Sure a single 6KW heater would one big circuit, but these minis can be spread all over. My house has 200A at 220V service (440A @ 110V) so no worries there. Temps are 35F night 65F daytime average right now, and I heated last year with 14 GPUs spread over 4 rigs with no issues, but this will be over 2x that load!

8600W includes two 4-module Avalons that are in my laundry room today, and I ran two 20A 110V circuits in there to juice those bad boys.

I will just add a few circuits in the garage and keep the door open 4" or so all winter with some box fans going, and relocate units inside as heaters as it gets colder.

Now to break the news to the wife Shocked

Yeah for many people this will not be a problem but not everybody has that capacity. The server room I am currently using is now at capacity so I will have to run my new mini's from home where I already have a lot of things running so I have to place them strategically to avoid popping any breakers Tongue

. Luckily my AC will be off so won't be a problem until summer...
