I love love love clean wiring! I guess if a “electrician” lives there thats what u get! 👍🏼 I tried to warn u 6months ago that you weren’t going to have enough air flow (comment probably got lost in the mix). Not even the T16’s are going to be enough (unless you add way more than 3). You’re also gonna need a lot more intake too. Those plastic gable louvers are restrictive and costly. Everyone way underestimates how much airflow they need. Put your hand behind a ASIC and feel how much Airflow it produces. You have 9 ASIC in there now so ur shed needs 9x that much airflow to keep it from heating up. I agree right now while its freezing outside, its beneficial to have warm air circulating inside for a constant temp. 90’F in winter is a big warning sign though. For the shed to work in the summer and stay cool inside, you should be able to stand inside and feel the air blowing through it. Its gotta be constantly flushed with fresh air. Otherwise you’ll have heat build up 👍🏼

Would you recommend a llc or sole proprietor?

I have run into a similar heat problem - yes install 2 exhaust vents along with what looks like a vented ridge cap - right now you are going backwards - you are trying to exhaust heat out the bottom - heat rises - reverse the fans at the bottom to pull air in and exhaust out the top - that way even with no fans running - it will naturally exhaust the heat somewhat out the top- in the bottom out the top - 😁👍

I apologize, I misspoke on the overhang pitch, It should be 10ish/12 pitch 😁😁

Hobbyist, I think roof vents would be a good idea so you can vent out excess heat in the summer. A design/shape roof vent that doesn't allow rain in obviously. 😀

Yeah thinking 2 or 3 active vents pulling air out. So the hot air doesn't pocket.

so nice man... here in argentina we are melting with 35°C...

Had a little ADHD moment with the window in the back lol

Thats a Gambrel gable/roofline just so you know. I would recommend an inline fan blowing out you attic vent over the door. Attached to a duct with multiple perforations that is secured in the peak of the roof. Remember you have a lot of electrical and a semi flat roof section you want to put a hole in, not a good combination. If your roof doesn't leak now don't mess with it. An 8in inline pulling the length of the roof should help you dump the heat and you can slow it or shut it as temp drops. AC Infinity 8in will mow about 800 cfm. Good video!!!!!!

Use the spinny things on the roof. No motors. Wind powered.

@TheHobbyistMiner Look at the 12:00 min. mark and pause, There is already a small vent in the top. Modify it to hold one of the fans you are changing out. Now, do the same thing on the other end of the shed and have one push and one pull. Now put a 2.5' X 3' overhangs at a 4/12 pitch or similar downward angle. This will prevent blowing rains from reaching the vents. Use your own judgement on how to do the over hangs, but, This puts two of your 14" fans to use and those will easily run clean up duty on the heat. Just remember the little outcrop/over-hang can be mounted after you build it, use lightweight 2x2 instead of 2X4 if you'd like, and thin 'ish plywood. Then use the peal and stick roofing to cover it leaving about 1.5" of it hanging over the plywood on all 3 sides. It's easier than it may sound. Ill post pics of the way I did my shed soon, not mining out of it yet though.

Thank you Sir, that is a very meaningful compliment coming from @@TheHobbyistMiner

Physics! :) I think you'd be fine with just 2 of those vents you have on sides of the roof, just using natural venting.

The better verbiage for the shed style is a barn roof shed.

Hobbyist, i sugest using a ceiling vent which connects to a tube and put it close one exhaust fan so the negative pressure of the exhaust fan pulls the hot air out from the ceiling and you also can keep the tube during cooler days.

You need a ceiling and insulation. You are leeching summer heat on the shingles into the room(which you have enough heat) you can verify this with an ir gun.

That is a legit concern. In my GPU location it is so hot in the hot isle that the tar from the roof started leeching back into the underside of the roof.

So this Shed doesn't have heat wrap on the walls like my new shed I bought. Has that reflected silver look. That helps with sun heat soak from the roof and walls. I am thinking of active roof vents first like the AC Infinity inline fans mounted up high. Than if all else fails a "ceiling"

I'm also dealing with heat and exhaust issues. Will be adding more exhaust and intake to my garage this weekend. For your shed i would agree with others that a roof vent should be able to help with trapped hot air.

Thinking of doing 1 or 2 roof vents hooked to an AC Infinity Inline Fan. Kind of suspend it.

Lack of snow on the cable to your shed means it was too low in diameter and the impedance is too high. When in 100-150 AMPs range you should go with 35mm^2 at least.

I would add two tall roof vents on the intake sidebof the shed. Place them about 2/3 up the roof to left cold air in. Use a burning encent stick to map out the air flow coming in through the roof vents.

Good idea. Thoughts on a fog machine test ?

BTW I never recommend penetrating a roof if there is another viable option.

Roof vents would be good to allow the heat to naturally expel, but could result in it being an intake at times as well. Foam insulation board across the top and sides of the rack extending to the exhaust wall will help a lot, and you can cut out holes and create plugs, so that during winter times you can pull the plugs and allow some waste heat to recirculate, and during the summers, plug them so its only new air intake. I've managed and helped build a handful of enterprise mines, and almost every one of them has enclosed exhaust hot aisles.

@TheHobbyistMiner

I am thinking the same thing. Roof vents while good would pull air in, because of the negative sir pressure.

I think you should put a small roof vent like “Maximum”

Hey Hobbyist. For adding exhaust, I would use the existing vent you have above the door and add another fan there.

@TheHobbyistMiner

My concern there with just passive vents, is it would turn into an Intake. Because the shed operates with so much negative pressure. But I could add an Inline fan there and suck the air out

​@@TheHobbyistMiner what about putting a small AC infinity vent there in place? Could use the dampers to control how much air is going out and how fast the fans going right?

Hello, I am new to bitcoin mining. I have done a little research. I am wondering where to start or even to start at all. with bitcoin halving in a few weeks I am not sure what to do. I would also like to know first steps on building an asic shed. Thank you

Did you use direct burial wire for the power or put it in conduit? What size wire is it. Was pretty crazy that the snow was melted over the cable 😊 been watching you from the start. It’s crazy how far you have come. I wish I had the stones to dive in so deep.

@TheHobbyistMiner

Direct Burial. I don't remember the size. This is at Mr Electricans house. If you go back in my Shed videos I discuss it more when we trench it. Thanks for the kind words!

I bet some ridge vent would help that heat at the top.

Also... two of those 16in fans as exhaust at the top of each end of the shed would be able to suck out all that hot air... and you could have those 4 x 14in fans as intake, perhaps variable as per internal temp and then run positive air pressure... just a thought

Not a bad idea. Springs going to be full of projects and testing

hi, your videos are awesome. i’d like to know more about the business side. taxes, pools, wallets, moving/swapping, payouts. if u already covered this, a link b great. thanks

Do you have a video of a setup in a spare room in an apartment/house?

My simple suggestion: instead of fighting natural convection, why not use it? 🤔 Have the bottom fans add cool air from the outside and add large fans in the attic to remove the rising hot air. Before you go ahead and buy fans for the attic, you could even run a test in which you just open vents up top and use positive pressure from the bottom to check how it would work. But since humanity has been using horns for as long as they have been living indoors, this just might be worth trying 👍

I think capping the roof on the inside would help more by creating a wind tunnel effect... I think Vosk had same issues with his first shed with gabled roof

Hello sir! I've been following your videos since the fever for Kaspa mining started. Right now I'm facing a problem with my infrastructure and I need send my ASICS to a better place. Most of the companies around are minimum 10 to 50 or even 100 units. By any chance do you offer hosting service?

I don't think your roof vents are going to help. You'd be much better off closing in the top. Keep the airflow simple and straight through the devices. I'd even look at ways to separating the hot and cold aisle in the summer

They are good devices, just know the rated wattage is a bit off, they are published at 2760 ish, and tend to run closer to 2900-3000 from what I've seen. They can do great in immersion though. 170th at 4800 watts.

electrical circuits and cables should not be more than 80% loaded. If it produces heat you are overloading the cables
