These are very powerful miners. I just imagine how much they are emitting heat, and even the creeps because I know how much the farm from the video card in the house is frying. You definitely need a large room cool room that will be well ventilated. I would place the miners at a fairly large distance from each other. Even better as it would be the basement

Hi Corado,

i room at the basement would be nice - but i only have the "normal" building... so i try to work with the circumstances ;-)



Not sure about your surrounding space, but personally I'd remove the cabinet sides to increase the total thermal sink area you have available, fit the biggest industrial extractor fan(s) you can as high as you can, and use your tube fans to bring cold air in to floor level.

The thermal sink point is quite important, as the smaller the space you pack all those BTUs into, the faster the airflow has to be to remove the heat. In a massive, high warehouse space, for example, the heat gets chance to rise naturally, so a relatively small extractor at the apex will do a good job, plus you benefit from all the other items in the area conducting heat away as well.

BTW, the science here might be rocky, but it's based on running a medium farm in a small room for several years!
