Just finished the Antminer Hood H1. Cheesy

Running a couple Habaneros at 1.4TH/s combined down below as well.

I love the setup. Can you tell a little more about your cooling? I'm interested in knowing what looks like a wooden exhaust at top?

It's mostly heat removal - I'm sucking in outside air to cool. I'm mining in my garage, and pre-hood ambient temps ranged from +15-20 over outdoor temps.

I threw the wooden hood together from scraps of OSB in the workshop, even the screws are reused. It's got a 6"x12" furnace vent box on it that feeds into 6" ducting. There's a 400cfm in-line blower sucking the hot air out.

It's changed the difference (so far) to about +10 over outdoor temps. Yesterday it kept the garage cozy at 80*F, outdoor temps were 70*F.

Today we jumped up to 82*F outside and I rose up to 90*F ambient, I did forget to crank the blower up to 100% though, I'll try again tomorrow.

Without the hood I would have been above 100+F. I'd need more CFM and possibly 8" duct to remove 3500watts (12000btu), that's if it was all in a sealed cabinet.

I'd call it functional, but a band-aid on what is ultimately my problem - heat leakage into the environment combined with not enough fresh air coming in to offset the inefficiencies.

When my other ants come, I'll try to seal it up a little better, but the total cost was $12 for the vent box and about 30 mins of assembly - not a miracle, but a small win so I'll take it.

Thank you for such detail I appreciate it! I'm been looking at different heat removal ideas for my miners to try to decide what to eventually build, I appreciate you sharing results.
