Mining Rig Cooling Guide
So the summer is upon us, and for many a miner cooling issues are important. Especially if you have a larger rig or several rigs. This guide is going to breakdown the calculations, configuration, setup and install, and impact measurements to get a micro cooling center running cost effectively for your coin mining rigs. Let’s get started here! Mining Rig Cooling Location and Materials So there are a few places that you might have your mining rigs setup. A spare room in your house or a garage being some of the ones that pop out at me right off the bat. I have my rig in the the Garage and also live in Austin Tx…so it is really hot during the summer.

You need to not be fighting an impossible battle and without certain things in place, you will have a much harder time getting the best bang for your cooling buck. So I mentioned I am in a garage, which of course means I have a garage door also. This is a problem for two reasons. First it is made of Aluminum and heats up very nice when the sun is blazing. Second its a giant freaking door. You have to take into account that its going to try to leak air. Lucky we live in a world of solutions! The garage door itself needs to be insulated and sealed. This is a surprisingly easy task however so fear not! I was panicked when I started doing this all but it only took me couple hours to do alone so I was imagining something much worse then it turned out to be. Material List I’m going to assume that you have the basic tools including some utility knife, wrenches and a drill also. The rest of the needed stuff I...
