Testing a Crypto Mining Shed During a Heat Wave
Welcome back to the Hobbyist Miner channel, today we have a special video focusing on the performance of a crypto mining shed during a heat wave currently plaguing Pennsylvania. The temperature is currently at 91 degrees Fahrenheit and with the high humidity levels, it’s giving a whole new meaning to sweating it out.
We have several rigs set up in the shed that we’ll be examining to check their performance during these extreme weather conditions, including octo miner and server cases mining a variety of coins such as Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Ethereum, Ergo, and Flux. So, let’s get to it!
The Shed Environment
Once inside the shed, you’ll immediately notice the high temperatures. On one side we have 100 degrees Fahrenheit with 33-34% humidity, and on the other side, temperatures reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit, with the humidity clocking in at only 33%. Despite the high temperatures, you can feel the air being sucked through the shed, thanks to the exhaust fans.
Octominer X12 Rig
Our first rig is the Octominer X12, containing 12 RX 470s mining Ethereum Classic. In addition to this, we have:
– An X8 rig with eight RX 580s mining Ethereum
– Another rig with eight RX 570s mining Ergo
– A Flux rig with a mix of 1070s and 2060s
– A rig with a variety of 6600 XTs and a 6500 XT
Parts of the shed have fans installed to help cool off the area. These fans are currently on 30% in order to deal with the heatwave. However, despite the intense heat, the rigs seem to remain stable, with temperatures mostly in the 50s, 60s, and low 70s when it’s 100 degrees inside the shed.
Future Plans for the Shed
Although the shed currently does not have air conditioners installed, it’s important to note that for mining, its performance relies on constant airflow. The fans do an adequate job of regulating temperature without necessarily relying on air conditioners. We have plans to improve the shed in the following ways:
– Installing a gladiator rack to cover the entire shed, making room for equipment not currently in the shed.
– Epoxying the floor to prevent dust and create a better, more professional workspace.
– Addition of guttering to the outside of the shed.
– Installing wireless smoke alarms and fireballs for added safety.
These upgrades aim to make the shed more suited for long-term crypto mining and should ultimately improve the efficiency of the rigs operating inside.
Conclusion
Heatwaves and high humidity can be a challenge to deal with, especially when it comes to temperature-sensitive equipment such as crypto mining rigs. However, as evident from the performance of the rigs in the shed, having proper airflow with exhaust fans is crucial.
The shed’s plans for future upgrades will only improve its performance and make it more adequate for long-term crypto mining operations. The temperatures recorded during this heatwave are within the acceptable range and show that the shed is handling the conditions well.
So, if you’re a crypto miner also dealing with heatwaves or high humidity, remember that airflow is the key to success and can truly make a difference in keeping your rigs running smoothly. Stay cool and happy mining!
What is your hottest running GPU?
@the Hobbiest Miner What brand is that 2nd to the last black case?
I just switched to server cases. Def run hotter. I can't even mine flux in them and there's 12 fans throughout the case. Anything core intensive. I think the shed would do well open air rigged.
WOW those temps are toasty. Your better off with open air rigs with your shed setup. Ditch the over hyped and over priced octominers. Besides that your setup is awesome keep the videos coming. Thanks
I sincerely appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help.
I greatly appreciate your honesty and how this worked out for you. I’m trying to learn this and integrate this strategy into my portfolio, just wanna do it right. This helps a lot. Learning what not to do is as valuable as learning what to do, this video provides both but later on I was convinced to try out packages of which have yielded lot more profits
Hey bud gratz and good job on the shed. Check discord when you get a sec, and keep grinding
Was there an 88degrees on the right side of the screen? That’s a cool setup.
my man love the setup, but all this work into mining and you dont seem to have any modern gen cards or high hashrate. why not take the time to dump the old cards and upgrade?
@The Hobbyist Miner. What do you think about Neoxa and it's Proof of Game consensus ?
Very nice mining shed!👍👍👍
That is very cool. Thanks for sharing Hobbyist! If I had a lot of rigs that is what I would consider. I'm at two rigs. lol Cheers and keep those wonderful videos coming.
YOU HAVE BEEN 👃🏻👃🏻THE BEST,I ALWAYS THANK MY FRIENDS SO MUCH FOR INTRODUCING ME TO YOU SIR🤘🤘

Looking good. Love the extractor for the BTC Asic looks very neat. Judging the hight, 2 rows of upright Octominers or laying them flat?
You should do a video on the jazz miner silence mod! 👍🏻
Curious about what happens when it rains. Won’t it suck in the rain as well? I am sure the filters will block some but what about heavy rain?
What's the average ambient temp? dump the fans, keep the insulation in the roof space and vent the shed 360 using temp-rain-controlled motorised vents. Basically, you want the rigs outside in the shade and kept dry. and if possible increase the operational area.
I've always wanted to mine BTC but could not afford super expensive ASIC's. I bought an NFT that mines BTC if you hold onto it. No electricity bill, no waiting to buy equipment cause everything is sold out, just an NFT. 👍
Looking good but I thought I saw the last card in your flux rig at 88 degrees snap shot 8:05, is that still the case or did you bring that temp down?
Well done 🚀🌕
No way that is profitable. Pulling in hot air and then trying to cool. Probably be cheaper to install a wall ac and a roof vent
Hey. I have 7gh in a similar place and i dont go beyond 85F. I can share some videos with you. Overall the idea is a bit different from yours. I have 2x mining tents. 1st tent has 12x octominers and the back of that tent, is cut to the octo frame, and the heat goes on the back where I have 6x ac infinity. Makes sense? Back tent with negative pressure, front tent, cold air incoming. You never mix fresh with contaminated air
That is cool, lol
I am on the other side of the state and its not as hot as you guys. My hottest GPU is my 3080 ti 47/90
It’s getting there.. nice!!!
Great to see it in Action !!!
Curious how noisy is it outside ?
THM wow nice! I just like seeing now a great plan comes together! I wonder if you can sound proof the walls a bit so your Jaz miner gets to hang with the rest of your gear, truly best to get anything very noisy away from the family .. I learned that lesson over five years ago!
Keep up with the great content!
Looking good! Curious to see that Bitcoin asic going in there though. 😀
personally I would put a inside wall on intake side with bottom 6 inchs or so open… so air isnt on a direct path to rigs …. rain would make me really nervous long term
What speed % do you keep the case fans on?
I would be worried about heavy rain, with open air rigs for sure ….. server cases should be good though
I live in Texas, and it's hot here, I heard u say, any temp under 79 is good with you. I have been trying to keep them under 70 and shut them off when they hit 72, can I revise my strategy? Is 73, 74 ok?
You need to have air going through your your miners once you get everything setup by creating a barrier between your hot/cold aisles. It would help GPU temps tremendously
what about sound proof how many bd do you have out of the shed?
Son of a tech is literally in like houston lol not comparable
please do an in depth overview of the fire suppression when you get there! thanks!
id love to see a mining shed with ac, lol! would love to see the added electric cost as well… i dig the shed!!!!
You should get a historical temp monitor that graphs the temp over time. I got one for my garage and its interesting to be able to go back and see your hottest temp ever over time. Only like $40 on amazon.
If you are doing insulation, remember the outside temp the day of this video to compare to the shed with insulation. It would be interesting to see how much the difference will be. Also a wifi water sensor would be a good idea if you think you might ever have leaks in there.
Edit: Also a wind speed guage would be handy to tell where the highest speed of air is. Then you can position your rigs in the best spot.
I have a suggestion, get another set of thermometers so you can show in celsius also 😁
all seems great .. too bad you can't put the jasminer there to get rid of the sound inside the house but it feels like the shed will amplify it and make it even louder for some reason i personally do not own a jasminer but seen how loud they can get.
Any responses ready for the next neighbor complaint? That could really put a damper on things if the city/county backs them…
Coming together really nicely!
Can't wait to see it with the rack in there!
Shed coming along nicely.
Cool man! Would love to see you epoxy the floor! And also do the tack, gutter and fite protection stuff. Awesome work man 🤘
This is so sick lol. Even no racks or anything this is great man. I never comment anywhere on YT. You are always serving up great content.
great video but lets get some 30 series cards in there and check the temps(assuming you have those cards of course)
Come to Kansas. We get everything at once
