RE: What they don't tell you about building a Mining Rig

in #mining7 years ago

Why an open case? For cooling? I would think the dust would get all over it? Thanks for this write-up, I probably won't be building a mining rig but it's cool to see how people are doing it :)

Canned air is your friend against dust!

A closed case leads to increased heat, which leads to the need for increased cooling, which leads to the usage of more power. Open Case = Better :)

Yup, makes sense. I'm too used to my gaming computer build days :p

Yes, its so that stuff doesnt blow up basically since it gets really hot

Makes sense! My novice-ness is shining through ;)
