sure will take a pic tonight when i get home. till then. here is the piece i bought.

It claims to fit only the cobra but it fits perfect on mine. the knobs on either side are the spring loaded rods with hooks on the end. so you can attach it to the grill of the blower.

The middle hole is attached to the dryer duct work. the right side (closest to camera) is open and blows towards a door that separates finished from unfinished side in the basement. the last hole is capped forcing the air into the other holes.

got it for really really cheap off flea bay.



I have the ac set to have the house at 67, the tstat is on the first floor so the house stays pretty normalized. All I did was cut a 6 inch hole in one of the pipes that leads to a vent that is closed year round anyway as it blows right by a set of bay windows on the first floor. so the air is simply diverted down in front of the miners instead of just hitting a closed vent.

that 24inch barrel fan is rated at 7700cfm. the problem is with the equipment being in the basement on my unfinished side (as that is the wall that shares the breaker box) there isn't a lot of "fresh" air to blow at the miners so even with the fans I needed a way to introduce air that wasn't all ready heated by the miners.

I would like to get another 5 more miners but at this point idk if I can remove all the heat fast enough. might play with bundling the output pipes together and attaching a exhaust fan to them to blow the heat either into the finished side of the basement or outside some how.


also been thinking of putting the barrel fan that is blowing at the miners putting that on the hot side to move the air away from the miners and using the orange fan to blow heat outside. but then I don't have a fan to blow air at the miners.


not sure which would keep the miners cooler blowing air at them or removing the heat they output.

that was actually the initial reason I bought it for was to buy those orange attachments (at rear of miners) for the front of the unit and blow cooler air at them from a part of the basement that wasn't so hot.

but with temps in the mid 80s down there. they turned into exhaust attachments and an exhaust nozzle attachment to move some of the heat outside.

still in the design process for the whole area. been thinking of putting the 4in exhaust pipes into some kind of reducer to attach them to an inline fan that pumps all the heat outside.

Updated pic: 5 s7, 2 s5. all plugged into 5 20amp sockets.

There is a 24inch drum fan against the back wall blowing right at the miners. The 6inch duct brings in cold air from the AC. The orange blower is attached to a 4in dryer hose that pumps some of the heat outside and some into the finished side of the basement where the air return is.

it aint pretty but it works.

compared to the s7 heat output the output from the s5 is like a warm summer breeze.

i got 4 of those fan shrouds for the s7s i have and added an 8foot ac/heat pipe to them to remove the heat from the immediate area. the outputs dump right next to a fan to further move the hot air away.

will post a few pics tonight when i get home of the setup.

100%.. all 7 of the miners are at 100%

the s5s have an extra stock fan on the back of them to help pull the air through. so it can get pretty loud at times.

i dont like being hot. You can only take off so many clothes. you can always put on more. It pretty much stays 68-70 in my house year round. (live in ohio).

the heat is only for pretty much on december/january/feburary with AC for the rest of year.


Ya i figured heat removal was key 1 might play with barrel fan on the hot side. and move the orange to the cold side and unhook the "exhaust" pipe to the outside.

Recently added a batch 15. all the miners run between 58-63c. except for 1 blade of 1 miner runs in the 68-71c range. not sure why. havent taken it apart to check yet. All miners are overclocked, 4 @ 731, 2 @ 650

the ambient on the hot side is about 80F. been thinking about stacking the miners vertically and building a box with an extrator fan to suck out the heat and pump it into my air return. But with the 1/2 only a few months away and "maybe" new machines idk if its worth building yet. as the 1/2 may force out the smaller home miner like myself.

its in a basement so the noise is not to bad unless it gets warm then the fans get whiney. but they are set to 100% anyway on all the machines.

3 s5
4 s7

the s7s are the one with the tubes attached.

all overclocked. the s5s are running at 412.5. 3 s7s are running at 731, with 1 running at 656 (batch 7). trying to eek out as much btc before the 1/2.

its about 80ish down there which is more then i want, the miners are running mid/high 60s. would like to get them down to low 60s.
Thinking of upgrading my "exhaust" fan to a larger one. looking at a 24inch barrel to move some of the hot air out of that area.

also trying to upgrade tubing attached to the exhaust fan as that is just the tubing i pulled from the bathroom exhaust fan to help move some heat outside. will probably end up with a 4 inch tube vs the 3inch thats on there now.

easy noobie. This thread is "Pictures of your mining rigs" no where does it specify bitcoin. Also technically since the invention of asics this thread has been off topic anyway since it has turned into "pictures of my little silver boxes sitting on shelf". Calm down. he isn't actively pushing people to his site and he isn't spamming his sales pitches. If anything his and citronicks are the first posts that are on topic of showing off a mining rig that they themselves built and not just bought from a supplier.

LOL ya. and all that only cuts the heat a little. it usually averages 80-100 on the hot side.

in the process of building a box to clean all that up. will put the miners vertical use the large drum fan on the bottom shelf pointing upward. Will have a slopped top and an 8in exhaust fan. the plan is to tie into the line that can blow the heat outside the house. will end up using 6inch tubing to get it outside. hopefully that will help cut costs as the ac pretty much runs non stop right now, have it set on 67-68.

what brand of exhaust fan is that? been hunting for a high cfm fan but the max i find for 8inch is low 700

ah ok.. i was wondering. all i could see was 700ish for cfm. I have been thinking of building a box around the rack i currently use (home depot $30 special) with a angled top with a high cfm exhaust fan. And then use the 24inch drum fan i bought that does 7700 cfm as my intake fan at ground level to put the air up and out.

or you could quit being a douche bag and let the guy show his work. He built it therefore he can show it.

do you know what the order was for that he is building, perhaps the client wanted the 2 psu to split the power draw to 2 different sockets. as far as cooling, again you do not know. perhaps the client has a 10000 btu ac unit he wants to set this in front of.

 till you know the details...hush.

i like the server rack idea. with them blowing right into the return do you hear any noise leaking into the rest of the house?

If you read the banner on their website it actually says they are all out of the office till the 26th so i wouldn't expect an answer till after that.

Simple solution to this.. don't come back here.

No one wants you and your toxicity.

I need to get on doing this as well. I have 15 btc worth of small mining rewards sitting in a wallet I haven't consolidated ever.


Perhaps kano can start offering the priority transaction spots on the blocks we find. Would rather send him some the fee vs someone else.
