A simple link to your thread would have been cool but what a lot of people on this thread would love to hear about are the details like how are you handling heat extraction, whats your power distribution look like. How many Killawatts are your burning!Whats the heat like in a room full of miners like that. Is it deafingly load?

Hi Hurricandave - Andy from Hydro66 here.

As joust mentioned it's all free air cooling. We have a very large (filtered) air inlet in the building side and then exhaust the hot air through the roof. We have some chunky fans for the height of summer too (although we just had the warmest summer in 100 years and they didn't even break sweat). The rest of the year the inlet temp is more than cold enough.

We're in the same part of the world (slightly further north) as Facebook's $1bn datacentre in Luleä.

We can support a few MW in our current facility. We'll be announcing something much bigger in the next few weeks.

Surprisingly enough the noise level in the DC is pretty quiet - you can easily have a conversation at normal speaking volume. Standing right next to the rigs you can feel some radiant heat - perhaps like a warm sunny day, but a few feet back and you are back at ambient.
