Just watched this video again for the umpteenth time. I just got my grow tent setup and was having horrible temps, I actually listened this time which helped. I have an 8” exhaust and a 6” intake and my temps were insane. Moved thr 6” to exhaust as well and bam, temps went down 4-5°C. Very helpful. I did open up all the 6” openings and the the two mesh windows for airflow. Such much suction pulling hot air out that there is enough section to pull cool air into the tent from the room temperature. This includes 2 3080ti’s that were running hot as hell. Now they run much cooler and much better. Thank you so much. Now I’m happy again.
I had a hard time as well. Once I opened up the tent a bit everything calmed down. I have ASIC miners which run hot. I pointed my 8” exhaust towards the miners exhaust and what a difference
Just set up my tent.... after 1 week the temps in that room have dropped significantly. I have a 2'x4'x5' Vivosun tent with 1 Vivosun exhaust fan and room temp air coming in at the bottom with a fan. Right now it works well. Thank you for the videos.
Thanks so much I am in Australia and we are getting close to summer. I have already ordered and waiting for the exhaust to arrive. It will be with me in 2 weeks. and everyday I pray for a cold day!
@@86rix hey mate I am using fans and leave the room window open. I have already installed a 3kw air con but that does not do anything to the heat. I cannot wait to get the exhaust
@@86rix I am very sure that air is too hot and should not stay in the room. After controlling that then air con will do something. I have couple of rigs that’s why it is harder
I have the same tent with a single 8" adjustable vivosun exhaust fan. Couldn't get enough intake air from bottom inlet, too much negative pressure, caving in the tent. So I moved the zipper pulls on the tent door to the bottom. Unzipped the bottom of the tent, until the walls weren't sucked in as much. Cool basement air gets sucked in/up through the tent better now.
Great video! As for the bends in your duct work, and for anyone else stuck in tight spaces. Bends add additional system effect and static pressure to the system, which makes your fan work harder to exhaust the air. If you're stuck with tight bends try and get larger diameter insulated HVAC duct. Another note on the fan size. Larger fans can move more air and are quieter in general, but if you have high static pressure they might note help your airflow. Last thought, but in this video I think the tent might be too negative, making the fan work harder to suck more air which also increases the temperature in the space. For general building applications some MEPs aim for about 100 CFM extra exhaust per 1000sqft thus making the space slightly negative, but not too negative to trap people inside. You can scale that airflow ratio down or up depending on your space.
Also, flexible ducts, like the ones shown in the video, add friction/drag to the air also making your fans work harder. Rigid ducting with smooth walls may be more difficult to run, but it provides more airflow while keeping the diameter the same.
Holy moly, so helpful. Just found your channel, liked and subbed. I literally just setup my grow tent 2 days ago and have been going insane trying to manage the heat with my setup. I live in AZ so pulling fresh air from outside is not an option with the intense heat and dust, still trying to figure that one out. But I will definitely move my fan to outside the tent and try your flow setup! Ps your question at the end about a bigger tent needing much more exhaust... the answer is YES. I bought a 2nd smaller tent because my 5x5x8 turned out to be too much room for my 8" fans to handle. But, learning through the experience.
Awesome dude! Definitely so much trial and error in getting these tents setup. Then you get it perfect, add a few GPUs and back to the drawing board! Good luck with yours my dude and happy mining!
Hi ! Same problem here, I have a 1.20x1.20x2m tent and 9 gpus in it. 2 x 720CFM fans and Ive tried to put 1 intake and 1 exhaust or 2 exhaust but it doesn't work. These are variable speed so I tried to ajust it too but didn't worked. What size is your new tent, how many gpus do you have and how much C° have you gained versus your previous (big) tent please ? It would be helpful to know :) ! Thanks !
Just got a sub from me! I've watched a few of your videos great content and very helpful. I'm running a 24x24 grow tent and had an intake fan. Since witching this video I've removed it and am getting better Temps! Thanks man!
Negative air pressure isn’t always a good thing. It can mean that not enough air flow is coming in, so your fans are working extra hard for no reason especially if it doesn’t have the air to pull it out. You need to have the right balance of intake and outtake.
I setup a grow tent because of you and it's been an amazing solution in my garage. I don't think could even consider mining without it in my rental. I'm outgrowing mine as well. My first reaction was same as you, get a bigger tent. Here is a thought: what about multiple smaller tents? Each with its own 8 inch exhaust. I've never seen anyone mention or consider that and I'm wondering why. The performance might be even better. Thanks again
Nice video as always dude! Grow tents are a sick idea. IF I could modify my appartment office window to stick an exhaust out id definitely get one of these! Think im gonna have to wait ill im out of the "mining office" lol. Exhaust is 100% the way to go, and theoretical calculations are all fine and dandy but to fine tune and get the optimal performance, you always need to approach it practially with some trial and error.
Thank you for all the good advice now to pass some back to you as a grower👊.. Open the 2 big bottom flaps and hang some fans inside To circulate the air you could thank me later..lol🤗
Is it a good idea to have gpus sitting in a 100+ degree tent? At that point isn’t it better to have them securely outside in a storage or shed? If they weren’t in a tent, in that basement. Does that mean the basement would be 100+ degrees? Or is this super high increase in temp caused by the encapsulation of the tent..
Nice setup bud, I have been thinking of testing an idea that a friend of mine intrigued me. Recently a friend of mine wanted to build a wall-mounted PC, So he went down the local metal shop and purchased a 3ft x 3ft sheet of aluminum. He surface mounted his Motherboard and GPU to the aluminum sheet with shimmed measured blocks that he purchased to all the cpu, vrm, gpu, and its components to the aluminum sheet. So basically this 3x3 sheet of aluminum is acting as his heatsink. He mounted an AMD 5950x and RTX3090 to this wall pc and it is completely silent and runs perfectly for him as a twitch streamer.. I was over at his house shortly after he completed it and I asked him to test mining on his GPU and his max temps were 58c on the GPU while mining. I looked into it and found i could get a 4ft x 8ft sheet for $150ish here local to me and the shimmed aluminum sections he used, he bought off mcmastercarr for a few dollars each. The idea intrigues me, because im curious if a 4x8 sheet could cool a full mining rig with all the GPUs surface mounted to the sheet of aluminum or maybe even a smaller sized sheet of aluminum would work.. or a smaller thicker sheet would work better. The idea has been bouncing around in my head because $150 for something that could potentially cool multiple GPUs and secure them intrigues me.. Ive been trying to figure out potential ways to package it all together.. do you mount the rest of the rig to the sheet.. so its modular.. or leave it separate..
I don’t have a tent but I furred out a little section in my garage. But one thing that helped me tremendously is turbulent flow. I moved my small window unit to a corner so the air kind of circles around the room. Difference of around 4 degrees Celsius on my cards. Avoid laminar flow in the room.
U know u can build shit when I use the word furred out..I say it m people goes what furred what..I'm like it's nothing just means to extend or encase dependencies on situation but as a contractor for the 80s n 90s era it's just our language 😁😁😁
Can I use a server rack cabinet and place a plastic chimney on top to funnel into a exhaust tube....The Server rack can also be covered on the inside with tinfoil and tyvek on the exterior to keep the heat inside?
Imagine the intake mounted to an air distro flange so that you can mount it directly under your stack and the air would pull straight up through your stack. That would be solid!!!
Is there something you use to combine all the mining racks so there’s no way for them falling on top of each other? I live in California and wrap electrical tape around the vertical parts that meet in case of a earthquake.
How laud is the variable speed fan? I have my rig in my office/ game room and I'm planning on getting that fan but I'm concerned about the noise because my office is next to the bedroom.
Terrific video and thank you for making it. I will be housing several ASIC miners so I hope to direct exhaust to a common manifold. The thought here is to have an HVAC guy make a sheet metal manifold with five or six four inch round stubs that I can hook the exhaust end of my miners to. Outside the tent, a fan will connect to the manifold and pull all that heat out to my attic. I also have a small server room AC unit I would like to place in this tent to cool all miner hashing boards. That AC unit will also connect to the common exhaust manifold to exit AC heat. What are your thoughts on using that small AC unit in the tent?
I’d be really curious to know the temperature of the outside tent wall. If you did not own any equipment outside the tent any idea on what the basement temperature would be?
What would you do differently if the room temp can easily go over 95 degrees F and the ambient temperature is floating around 110 degrees F? Perhaps using an intake as well, but where to pull the air from, outside or inside the room? P.S. havent bought a tent yet, but im really considering it now after looking at the AC bill
I would like to recycle the hot air to keep the house warm during cold winters we have here. The problem is that I will have to get the hot air 25 feets away from the tent. Do you think that this can still work and be effective?
Yes. I did this last year with probably a 15 foot run. Going to do it again this year very soon with a few changes. th-cam.com/video/3yDX8Zf_lLg/w-d-xo.html
112F in the tent??? That’s insanely hot. Are you sure the tent is really helping? I would open a couple more intake vents. You don’t want to have too much negative pressure because it will stress you exhaust motors wearing them out faster and produce more ambient heat.
I NEED HELP: So first I have a 48x24x60 grow tent. I have a 8in A/c infinity exhaust fan and a 6in A/c Infinity exhaust fan. Then I have 3 intakes for air being sucked in my the 8in-6in exhaust fans. Two 6in intakes down by the bottom of the tent and 1 6in at the top but I will have a 6in duct hose leading from the top 6in intake to the middle of my grow tent. I only have a 12 GPU setup and its a mix of RX5700 XT and 3060Ti FE. I also have 3-480 rads being cooled with 12-2000rpm fans. I will have all that exhausted air leading outside. Is this setup good or do I need more? and if so what do I need? I've been reading these threads and there is a lot of good people in this place and I just need some advice. The reason why I have to do the grow tent is the room where I have my rig setup is to close to the thermostat and it makes my air conditioner work over time and I'm not trying to spend another $15k on a new air conditioner in 5 years. I have no other place to move my rig to otherwise I would. I would appreciate any feedback on this setup I have on the ways.
Running a vivosun 48x24x60 tent using an 8" terrabloom exhaust fan out of the top. Running 1 terrabloom 4" fan as intake at the rear bottom 4" with a 90 going up inside. All other ports and vents on the bottom are open. Pulls about 100 watts at full speed on both fans and normalizes 630mh/s at around 88F. Its in the 100's in my state so im lucky to keep my house 78-80F. I tried covering part of the mesh vents last night for neg pressure. The tent sucked in and seemed to stay cooler but my cards were running hotter like this. Next I'll try negative pressure with directional intake like i see you and others do. I think next topic should be what are safe mem junction temperatures for mining. With some of the 30 and 6000 series cards having mem junct temp sensors i feel like its a HOT topic.
Good stuff thanks for sharing. I'm planning on doing some investigating on "safe" memory junction temperatures and hoping to put together a video soon.
@@RedFoxCrypto Hell yeah dude. Cant wait. This tent stuff is new to me so everything and anything i can gather from all sources helps. With the help of you, hobbyist, chumpchange and a few others its working good so far. Big thank you ❤️
I have a box fan in a cut out infront of mine blowing directly on the cards which seems to work well for me. It blows on the cards pushes the hot air up which is being pulled out with one of those vivo sun 8in inline fans and a cheapy metal 8in inline fan. In this setup my hottest card is only 65c (a 3080) the rest are no more than 60c even when my room is over 90f. When the rooms ambient is 80f there isn't a single card over 60c.
I've got a screened in back porch where two of the walls are to the house, and the other two are screened. Do you think I could put a grow tent outside in the corner of the porch and run rigs inside of it? I live in Alabama, so I think humidity might become an issue, but even if I was running a grow tent indoors and pumping in outside air, I would still have to deal with humidity.
Humidity should help dissipate any unwanted static discharge as long as it wasn't excessive or condensing on any objects within the tent. I would filter the supply air into the tent and take measures to prevent bugs/debris from getting in.
Why don't you take one of the exhausts and turn the fan around so it becomes and intake? then you are pushing air in from the outside and pulling it to the outside. You could run the intake duct to the bottom or close to the rigs. You can put a filter on the intake. What you have at the moment is a really restricted system from an airflow perspective, it shows itself by the grow tent walls being sucked in. If you have a fan pushing and one pulling you don't need such big fans either. Your absolutely correct when you say its all about airflow, and imporving airflow is all about removing obstructions. As I'm on the subject .... putting a load of GPU's close together so the fans can't "breathe" is not ideal. They should be as widely spaced as possible or they could be mounted at an angle (think of a stack of dominos that has been pushed over) so that each of the fans gets to suck some "virgin" air and not that of its hot neighbour.
He already explained why he’s not doing that. He already tried it and it doesn’t work. Negative air pressure is giving him much better temps than boosting air intake and cutting exhaust would.
@@DB-be9wy It's just physics. Try sucking air through a cloth and you should find its a lot harder than sucking air through your open mouth. This is what Red Fox is doing with his tent. Now if he has aircon running in his basement and he wants to pull the cool air into the tent and exhaust it out of the window then it makes sense, but only in that scenario.
@@DB-be9wy sorry there is another scenario in which it makes sense and that is where you want to filter the incoming air. But in this case I would put the filter in front of the incoming fan.
@@sQuareCS2 Thanks for chiming in. I must be missing something. if both you and Red Fox reckon it works better and have actually done it, I'm not in a position to dig my heels in and tell you your wrong, especially as I haven't set up a grow tent yet.
polystyrene insulation sheets (like from a home improvement store) forming a box inside your tent will help reduce heat radiation from the tent. If you have the space double up on it. Will also reduce noise.
One thing to keep in mind here is that a bigger tent does not necessarily mean you need more exhaust. Its all about flow rate. If the flow in and out of a big tent is the same, it will eventually reach the same temperature. Same thing goes for the isolation of your other rigs in your basement. Right now, your whole basement is basically a tent in itself. Putting those rigs inside the tent or elsewhere in the basement may change which cards get hot, but overall the heat load stays the same. And the ammount of heat you can dissipate total won't change if the overall flow through the basement doesnt change. Though you are right, if you run the intake of your tent to the other window, then the two systems are isolated for the most part.
Can you share what is your total hash rate and power in the tent setup? You operating temperature seems high. How often you have to do maintenance, repair, or hardware replacement? By the way, love your adding heat spreaders on the back side of gpu.
I put 20gpus in 120x120x180cm high tent, and the temp is crazy high, using 1 8inch & 1 6inch to pull out the hot air, is that doesn’t enough so I can’t cool down the temp?
How could this work ? What are the temps of your 3080s memory junction ? I only have 2*6700xt 2*6800 1*3060ti 1*3080ti and 1*3090 and the memory junction temps of my 6700xt is 92°C and 3080ti / 3090 are 94°C. I have an 8" intake fan and an 8" exhaust fan. Both are variable speed, 710CFM. Tried many parameters, nothing helps. Tried to add powerful fan inside the tent too but it doesn't help. 19°C outside atm.
My guess would be to have fans the same size pushing in as out. It wouldnt be negative or positive. Or maybe have one of those exhaust fans blowing air into the tent. Its easy enough to try different things and do what you think is best.
You should check into high CFM support braces from Vivo, I used Gorilla Grow Tents for .. well it's intended purpose :) They have a kit that's designed to provide more horizontal support when running tents at a very high negative pressure. Those 4 side poles are not that strong and I'd hate to see the tent collapse in on your rigs!
Perfect timing, looking at setting one up now for the upcoming hot Australian summer. Question to you... I have the same vedhha frames but with the front fans. If I use the grow tent, what would you recommend I do with the fans? i.e. turn them off (because the exhaust fans will take care of the heat) or keep them running, which kind of seems pointless being in an enclosed space. Cheers bro.
My problem is my rig is in the garages I’m already use the window the exhaust and there is no way for air to get in. I consider using an ac. Anyone have better advice
What about sound? I have a considerable amount of GPUs in my bedroom (only place it can be) but I have to keep them cool with A/C. How do you get the sound down to a dead minimum/not even mattering or interrupting? Like could you sleep comfortably while the exhaust fans are running? I want to do this so bad but I hear the fans are very loud!!
For me I only see the reason to use a grow tent is to save on space. I'm a fan of open air empty room rigs. I use external 16" fans and no other smaller fans. Two windows open. I never let/they never go over 70c. 68c being the sweet spot. Interesting video though
Red Fox, can you please explain negative vs positive air pressure inside grow tent? Some are suggesting negative and other suggesting positive. My logic is telling me negative and that is how I have set it up. I see you too. But it is still bugging me. Would like explanation from your experience please.
He explained his experience in the video, he said that he has had the most success with negative air pressure. If you are unsure why not try out both on your setup and just see for yourself which method works better for you. Everyone's case is different.
I really thought I needed an intake fan when I had just the single exhaust and GPUs getting way too hot. Adding the second exhaust fan 100% solve the issues. My problem now is that I've just added too many more GPUs in there. It's the same concept you see with people who do mining sheds, it's just one big fan pulling air out.
Great video. Just a question for someone to answer: Has anyone ever put one of theses on the outside instead of indoors. As I live in an apartment, I dont have a basement however I have a balcony where the sun doesn't hit there and I was thinking to put a grow tent there. As they are waterproof I'm not really worried about the water. My only concern is the humidity on winter so I was wondering if anyone has done it already
They are not 100% water tight, i have a tent for mushrooms and if I get condensation in the tent it will seep through onto my concrete floors. Id double check yours but my green architecture which is similar will seep through eventually if water pools.
Do cops search homes that they believe to be grow operations? Just curious cause I have 4 rigs rn that I set up this month and it’s pulling about 2700w from the wall. Wondering if my home will be red flagged from higher than usual power consumption
I heard that if you put your exhaust fans outside to "pull" the air out it will do a better job as opposed to pushing the air out if the fans are inside the house. Anyone know for sure?

I may need to get one of these soon. Just secured another 2x 1060 6gb, 1x 3060, and won a shuffle for a 3070ti! Let’s go 🔥
How is the noise isolation of the tent? And how loud is the inline fan?
So your PDUs are outside of the tent? I'm building mine soon and was just wondering where to place them
Imagine the intake mounted to an air distro flange so that you can mount it directly under your stack and the air would pull straight up through your stack. That would be solid!!!
Growing that BALANCE!
YES SIR!
Hello, what would be the optimal room temperature inside the tent?
Hoping to do this soon. My space is getting way too hot.
Good work 😉
Is there something you use to combine all the mining racks so there’s no way for them falling on top of each other? I live in California and wrap electrical tape around the vertical parts that meet in case of a earthquake.
best to have intake and exaust in a basement or grow tent + exaust outside? only GDDR6X so i am a little desperate
How laud is the variable speed fan? I have my rig in my office/ game room and I'm planning on getting that fan but I'm concerned about the noise because my office is next to the bedroom.
Terrific video and thank you for making it. I will be housing several ASIC miners so I hope to direct exhaust to a common manifold. The thought here is to have an HVAC guy make a sheet metal manifold with five or six four inch round stubs that I can hook the exhaust end of my miners to. Outside the tent, a fan will connect to the manifold and pull all that heat out to my attic. I also have a small server room AC unit I would like to place in this tent to cool all miner hashing boards. That AC unit will also connect to the common exhaust manifold to exit AC heat. What are your thoughts on using that small AC unit in the tent?
Great video.
I’m thinking of doing something like this myself.
Is there replacement fans for 3080 FEs?
I’d be really curious to know the temperature of the outside tent wall. If you did not own any equipment outside the tent any idea on what the basement temperature would be?
nice thanks for the tour and info boss, looking good
Thanks buddy!
"You better cool down, down there!" "I'm going to change your pad soon" LMAO!!
Be careful, fake account
how do you stack your rigs?
Does putting the exhaust fan(s) in the tent decrease the noise? I'm putting one in my home office and noise can be an issue
how many watts are u pulling from that thent?
Do you know if the grow tent would work with asic miners ?
Like the setup using does mounted frames.
What would you do differently if the room temp can easily go over 95 degrees F and the ambient temperature is floating around 110 degrees F?
Perhaps using an intake as well, but where to pull the air from, outside or inside the room?
P.S. havent bought a tent yet, but im really considering it now after looking at the AC bill
I would like to recycle the hot air to keep the house warm during cold winters we have here. The problem is that I will have to get the hot air 25 feets away from the tent. Do you think that this can still work and be effective?
Yes. I did this last year with probably a 15 foot run. Going to do it again this year very soon with a few changes. th-cam.com/video/3yDX8Zf_lLg/w-d-xo.html
112F in the tent??? That’s insanely hot. Are you sure the tent is really helping? I would open a couple more intake vents. You don’t want to have too much negative pressure because it will stress you exhaust motors wearing them out faster and produce more ambient heat.
Hey! Loving it. I’m going to build one. What about dust and this negative pressure? Won’t dust go into the grow tent?
I NEED HELP: So first I have a 48x24x60 grow tent. I have a 8in A/c infinity exhaust fan and a 6in A/c Infinity exhaust fan. Then I have 3 intakes for air being sucked in my the 8in-6in exhaust fans. Two 6in intakes down by the bottom of the tent and 1 6in at the top but I will have a 6in duct hose leading from the top 6in intake to the middle of my grow tent. I only have a 12 GPU setup and its a mix of RX5700 XT and 3060Ti FE. I also have 3-480 rads being cooled with 12-2000rpm fans. I will have all that exhausted air leading outside. Is this setup good or do I need more? and if so what do I need?
I've been reading these threads and there is a lot of good people in this place and I just need some advice. The reason why I have to do the grow tent is the room where I have my rig setup is to close to the thermostat and it makes my air conditioner work over time and I'm not trying to spend another $15k on a new air conditioner in 5 years. I have no other place to move my rig to otherwise I would. I would appreciate any feedback on this setup I have on the ways.
Running a vivosun 48x24x60 tent using an 8" terrabloom exhaust fan out of the top. Running 1 terrabloom 4" fan as intake at the rear bottom 4" with a 90 going up inside. All other ports and vents on the bottom are open. Pulls about 100 watts at full speed on both fans and normalizes 630mh/s at around 88F. Its in the 100's in my state so im lucky to keep my house 78-80F. I tried covering part of the mesh vents last night for neg pressure. The tent sucked in and seemed to stay cooler but my cards were running hotter like this. Next I'll try negative pressure with directional intake like i see you and others do. I think next topic should be what are safe mem junction temperatures for mining. With some of the 30 and 6000 series cards having mem junct temp sensors i feel like its a HOT topic.
Good stuff thanks for sharing. I'm planning on doing some investigating on "safe" memory junction temperatures and hoping to put together a video soon.
@@RedFoxCrypto Hell yeah dude. Cant wait. This tent stuff is new to me so everything and anything i can gather from all sources helps. With the help of you, hobbyist, chumpchange and a few others its working good so far. Big thank you ❤️
I have a box fan in a cut out infront of mine blowing directly on the cards which seems to work well for me. It blows on the cards pushes the hot air up which is being pulled out with one of those vivo sun 8in inline fans and a cheapy metal 8in inline fan. In this setup my hottest card is only 65c (a 3080) the rest are no more than 60c even when my room is over 90f. When the rooms ambient is 80f there isn't a single card over 60c.
Epic & inspiring video once again Mike 😀 thank you 🤓📊💸🤑🖥️🖱️🤌
Thank you Adam!!
@@RedFoxCrypto You are welcome my friend
I've got a screened in back porch where two of the walls are to the house, and the other two are screened. Do you think I could put a grow tent outside in the corner of the porch and run rigs inside of it? I live in Alabama, so I think humidity might become an issue, but even if I was running a grow tent indoors and pumping in outside air, I would still have to deal with humidity.
Humidity should help dissipate any unwanted static discharge as long as it wasn't excessive or condensing on any objects within the tent. I would filter the supply air into the tent and take measures to prevent bugs/debris from getting in.
@Ryan Graham is right
If using this very model of tent in a garage setup, what would you recommend to filter the intakes? I'm in Texas and there is a lot of dust at times.
Probably just the cheapest, regular AC air filters you can get at your local hardware store
Yes I'd go for a filter. There are also filter boxes made for this kind of setup. amzn.to/38SO1xY
That is gray. 😍
Why don't you take one of the exhausts and turn the fan around so it becomes and intake? then you are pushing air in from the outside and pulling it to the outside. You could run the intake duct to the bottom or close to the rigs. You can put a filter on the intake. What you have at the moment is a really restricted system from an airflow perspective, it shows itself by the grow tent walls being sucked in. If you have a fan pushing and one pulling you don't need such big fans either. Your absolutely correct when you say its all about airflow, and imporving airflow is all about removing obstructions. As I'm on the subject .... putting a load of GPU's close together so the fans can't "breathe" is not ideal. They should be as widely spaced as possible or they could be mounted at an angle (think of a stack of dominos that has been pushed over) so that each of the fans gets to suck some "virgin" air and not that of its hot neighbour.
He already explained why he’s not doing that. He already tried it and it doesn’t work. Negative air pressure is giving him much better temps than boosting air intake and cutting exhaust would.
@@DB-be9wy It's just physics. Try sucking air through a cloth and you should find its a lot harder than sucking air through your open mouth. This is what Red Fox is doing with his tent. Now if he has aircon running in his basement and he wants to pull the cool air into the tent and exhaust it out of the window then it makes sense, but only in that scenario.
@@DB-be9wy sorry there is another scenario in which it makes sense and that is where you want to filter the incoming air. But in this case I would put the filter in front of the incoming fan.
yeah u would think it works better that way but have tested this and it is way better to use only exhaust fans...
@@sQuareCS2 Thanks for chiming in. I must be missing something. if both you and Red Fox reckon it works better and have actually done it, I'm not in a position to dig my heels in and tell you your wrong, especially as I haven't set up a grow tent yet.
Just need to know once eth mining ends. To which coin miners will will shift to?
I gotta get something going like this, this texas heat and mining rvn is killing me on energy. Thank you !!!
I live near Dallas and I did something similar to this and put it in the patio, at the weather right now the GPUS are running around 70 F.
@@LDLT156 man 70, thats great. I may screen in my patio for now. I think Im gonna make a grow tent kind of thing out of a large cabinet.
How much should I expect my rig to grow if I put it in a grow tent?
polystyrene insulation sheets (like from a home improvement store) forming a box inside your tent will help reduce heat radiation from the tent. If you have the space double up on it. Will also reduce noise.
So should I not have any case fans pushing/pulling on my frames themselves in the tent?
I'll actually be trying this soon. Stay tuned.
One thing to keep in mind here is that a bigger tent does not necessarily mean you need more exhaust. Its all about flow rate. If the flow in and out of a big tent is the same, it will eventually reach the same temperature.
Same thing goes for the isolation of your other rigs in your basement. Right now, your whole basement is basically a tent in itself. Putting those rigs inside the tent or elsewhere in the basement may change which cards get hot, but overall the heat load stays the same. And the ammount of heat you can dissipate total won't change if the overall flow through the basement doesnt change.
Though you are right, if you run the intake of your tent to the other window, then the two systems are isolated for the most part.

Can you Build 10 3060 ti mining and how much power supply does it need and how to undervolt it in HiveOS
Have you ever tried to flip 1/2 cards. So that fans don't suck air from back plate of other GPU ?
Brilliant.
Can you share what is your total hash rate and power in the tent setup? You operating temperature seems high. How often you have to do maintenance, repair, or hardware replacement? By the way, love your adding heat spreaders on the back side of gpu.

I feel like the tent should be under the window. Is there a reason why it's so far away?
Keeping it away from the water lines just in case. Good question.
I put 20gpus in 120x120x180cm high tent, and the temp is crazy high, using 1 8inch & 1 6inch to pull out the hot air, is that doesn’t enough so I can’t cool down the temp?
are founders edition cards of the rtx 3xxx series to be avoided for mining because heat issues? (I hear 3rd party cards dont get as hot)
They've actually been great. I thought the same originally.
how much WATTS are those big in-line fans drawing?
205w each.
How could this work ? What are the temps of your 3080s memory junction ?
I only have 2*6700xt 2*6800 1*3060ti 1*3080ti and 1*3090 and the memory junction temps of my 6700xt is 92°C and 3080ti / 3090 are 94°C.
I have an 8" intake fan and an 8" exhaust fan. Both are variable speed, 710CFM.
Tried many parameters, nothing helps.
Tried to add powerful fan inside the tent too but it doesn't help.
19°C outside atm.
My guess would be to have fans the same size pushing in as out. It wouldnt be negative or positive.
Or maybe have one of those exhaust fans blowing air into the tent.
Its easy enough to try different things and do what you think is best.

super cool!
Does this guy have to use a commercial industrial ISP?
You should check into high CFM support braces from Vivo, I used Gorilla Grow Tents for .. well it's intended purpose :) They have a kit that's designed to provide more horizontal support when running tents at a very high negative pressure. Those 4 side poles are not that strong and I'd hate to see the tent collapse in on your rigs!
I have a gree house in the backyard now I'm thinking off putting one of those for outside inside the greenhouse
Perfect timing, looking at setting one up now for the upcoming hot Australian summer. Question to you... I have the same vedhha frames but with the front fans. If I use the grow tent, what would you recommend I do with the fans? i.e. turn them off (because the exhaust fans will take care of the heat) or keep them running, which kind of seems pointless being in an enclosed space. Cheers bro.
I would test with them first. I just never had them on any rig so never tested in the tent.
@@RedFoxCrypto will do and will post my findings 😉
@@angeloscots7930 did it work better with or without fans?
@@10420800 I find is cooler with fans turned on
MY god how many watts that exhaust fans pulls ? they must be using so much energy. assuming at least 600W each ?
205w each if ran max (which they are).
My problem is my rig is in the garages I’m already use the window the exhaust and there is no way for air to get in. I consider using an ac. Anyone have better advice
How about fire hazard? How much can we trust on a grow tent not to get on fire?
If you live were it gets cold you can split it into your heater ducks. Out side in summer heater vent in the winter.
That's exactly what I do!
What about sound? I have a considerable amount of GPUs in my bedroom (only place it can be) but I have to keep them cool with A/C. How do you get the sound down to a dead minimum/not even mattering or interrupting? Like could you sleep comfortably while the exhaust fans are running? I want to do this so bad but I hear the fans are very loud!!
Curious about this too. Looking at putting one in my living room, but not sure if the exhaust fans will be louder than the rig fans or not.
Insulated duct and insulated box to put your exhaust fans in. Should work.
For me I only see the reason to use a grow tent is to save on space. I'm a fan of open air empty room rigs. I use external 16" fans and no other smaller fans. Two windows open. I never let/they never go over 70c. 68c being the sweet spot. Interesting video though
Red Fox, can you please explain negative vs positive air pressure inside grow tent? Some are suggesting negative and other suggesting positive. My logic is telling me negative and that is how I have set it up. I see you too. But it is still bugging me. Would like explanation from your experience please.
He explained his experience in the video, he said that he has had the most success with negative air pressure. If you are unsure why not try out both on your setup and just see for yourself which method works better for you. Everyone's case is different.
I really thought I needed an intake fan when I had just the single exhaust and GPUs getting way too hot. Adding the second exhaust fan 100% solve the issues. My problem now is that I've just added too many more GPUs in there.
It's the same concept you see with people who do mining sheds, it's just one big fan pulling air out.
Damn I was looking for 102…
Great video. Just a question for someone to answer: Has anyone ever put one of theses on the outside instead of indoors. As I live in an apartment, I dont have a basement however I have a balcony where the sun doesn't hit there and I was thinking to put a grow tent there. As they are waterproof I'm not really worried about the water. My only concern is the humidity on winter so I was wondering if anyone has done it already
They are not 100% water tight, i have a tent for mushrooms and if I get condensation in the tent it will seep through onto my concrete floors. Id double check yours but my green architecture which is similar will seep through eventually if water pools.
If you want better air flow from your fan you should change your duct for sheets metal. You will alsow save electricity.
Better pot boxfilter on the inlet
Do cops search homes that they believe to be grow operations? Just curious cause I have 4 rigs rn that I set up this month and it’s pulling about 2700w from the wall. Wondering if my home will be red flagged from higher than usual power consumption
Shouldn't you place the HP power supply to the top? They generate lots of heat
as an ac tech who works with Air flow . you definitely want intake for your grow tent.

I have dual 12 3060ti rigs and the cards run between 85c to 90c!
I heard that if you put your exhaust fans outside to "pull" the air out it will do a better job as opposed to pushing the air out if the fans are inside the house. Anyone know for sure?
