Man, guys... New mining location still seems to be too hot even though its exhausting out a dryer vent...

You may find, the dryer vent, might be a bottle neck in your exhaust. Most standard vents are 4" in diameter. You'll need atleast 6" to
get a good cfm flow. If you have more than 1 miner attached, you'll need around 10". The length of the hose connecting miners, to the
vent can also be too long. If it is, you'll need an in line fan, or similar, to pull the air through the hose. The fans on miners do not handle
the static back pressure very well, they like to breath freely.

Thanks. Just one Avalon6 on a ~4'x4" bendy aluminum vent. I'll look into upgrading to a shorter 6" ASAP.

I have had close to 15 feet of 5 inch insulated flexible pipe on one miner for a bit to put heat into one room in a basement, and the temp only went up 3 or 4 deg only. Ambient was around 21 or 22 deg c in the room it was pulling air from. Had no pipe on the intake. No helping fans. I was actually surprised that it stayed so cool. still was low 83-85 chip temps average.

If you have had it running for a while, blow out the dust with a compressor. Dont forget to block the fans from rotating when you use the compressor.
