This is my DIY crypto mining project been working on it for 2 weeks now and finally up and running consistently for the last 3 days. I had no experience in mining before I did this project I did everything but the IT work I had someone come in and set everything up and give me a how too. Its been running smoothly for 3 days, except 1 card being defective and returned I've had no problems with the equipment. We had some IT issues but my IT guy got them resolved. I'm still working on the cooling system I was running 10 degrees hotter with ducting pulling in from room temp into the bottom of the tent. It's now running 10 degrees cooler after I built the funnel from simple cardboard which you can see in the pics. I basically created what I call a updraft system where cool air flows in from the bottom to the top where its collected and sucked out by the fan and ducting at the top. I also unstacked the rigs and put them side by side to allow better airflow and changed the position of the card from the top of the rig to the bottom so they would receive the coolest air. I have ducting running from the tent to the a vent in the window where the hot air escapes the house. My house temp has been the normal 70 degrees inside unless the tent is open for maintenance. Any constructive improvement comments appreciated.
