Never understood why people have AC etc but can't do that one simple trick... a blower, dryer pipe and a opening outside is all you need. Costs hardly anything running a 100-200w blower vs 2kW+ of ACStart blowing the heat outside![]()

I suspect that comes out as a wash -- that air you are blowing outside with your high speed duct fan has to come from somewhere. So it's replenished by drafts from the outside throught cracks, vents, attic vents etc. You still have to cool that incoming air. Pulling in a bunch of air from your roof attic for instance into the house to be cooled by the A/C isn't going to be that much different in the summer than just running the GPUs in the house. It might be worse. If your duct fan is too powerful certainly.
Possibly the most efficient thing you can do is have your AC suck in the hot air from the PC so it will transfer more heat than just sucking in ambient air from the room. Besides this, by far the best thing to do is put them in an unairconditioned part of the house like the garage.I suspect that comes out as a wash -- that air you are blowing outside with your high speed duct fan has to come from somewhere.

Mining anything hasn't been profitable for a long long time.
Turned my mining rig off a couple days ago. Not covering electricity right now.
hiatus until profits come back...?

maybe the gold rush is over...
