Cooling your GPU rigs

[ActivateD]

How do you guys keep your rigs and the rooms they are in cool?

Right now the room that the rig is in, doesn't have windows but has 2 doors which help with the heat distribution. Each GPU is running at 70 degrees which I think is high so need to bring it down somehow.

which gpu's? red or green. red runs hotter.

Get an inverter aircon.

Both my windows are open and the door.

2x usb fans on the rigs close to the door, seems to keep them cool enough.

I logged in now around 65c atm, 60% fan speed.

I only do cryptoknight currencies, way less heat and power.

I have 25 gpu's in one room. They spread around the room.

Why is 70 high? A GTX1070 for instance is rated up to 94°C

That's just false. Brand had nothing to do with thermals. Depends what exact card and what kind of cooler it has installed.

My red runs hotter. No matter what I do to them. They just do. So don’t say it’s false if I’m relating my experience.

Just be more specific. It's false because you're generalising on your single experience.

I would like the temperature to be 70 degrees and lower never higher than that. I am just worried about the life of the card that is all.

65 degrees I think is perfect. I do like your 25 GPU setup

Do you have any auxiliary fans on the rig? That would be my first stop. I have 3x 140mm fans blowing air parallel to my GPUs

Worry more about keeping fan speeds as low as possible than temp. Only worry about temp if you touching the 80+C mark. I've had 390X's running high 70's for 2 years now. Only the fan assembly on one packed up.
