Hi all   Cool

I would like to get some feedbacks (if there are) of data system cooling engineers or pro miners that already thought or created a small GPU mine in a container ?

I've looked at the Envion one (https://www.facebook.com/envion.org/videos/envion-mobile-mining-operations/1930469803947689/). They have a clever passive cooling solution for asics as they plug tubes and pipes directly at the exhaust of each asic but they do no show their plans for GPU mining rigs.

for 200 to 250 GPUs I was thinking of 3 cased fans at the bottom 50cm or 60cm (20 or 24 inches) each on one side of the container that would drag the outside air inside and 3 others at the roof that would suck the air out. Note that container might be in a sheltered place that have temperatures arrround 5 to 10 degrees C (41 to 50 F) . What is your opinion ? What would you do to cool such a massive rig ?

Also what about the air condensation ?






yeah  200 gpus pulling 200 watts each = 40000 watts

you need  to move a lot of air  give me about 5 minutes to get a number

okay  17000 watts with 3200 cfm of fan  will stay cool  in this setup

it has 2x 1600 cfm fans   

so if you have 6x cfm fans like this  on the roof

you will pull 10000 cfm

I would lift the container of the ground   and have vents in the floor of the container
