Looking for the Power Meter Box I show in this video? checkout www.themeterbox.com/rpm
Forgot to mention you have to move the red switch on your power supply from 110 to 230 or it will blow... Is that correct?
Thank you for this video. I started to move my rigs around in my basement to put them on different circuits and it's a big pain in the butt. I want to use my office/ guest bedroom as a mining room, but I can't have more than 1 rig and my other servers in there before I start popping my breaker. This gives me a blueprint for what I need so I can start talking to electricians to do this for me.
In the United States (can't speak for other countries), most outlet circuits are going to be 20 amp (this can be verified by just looking at the breakers), but the outlets themselves are usually rated at 15 amps. This means that any given outlet can supply 1800 Watts, but the circuit can supply 2400 watts (this is a simplification, but is adequate for this purpose). This is done because most household appliances aren't likely to draw more than 15A/1800W, but there will likely be other things plugged into that circuit on different outlets. e.g. plugging a vacuum into the same circuit with a TV and a couple of lamps.
great advice for safety u got a new sub today buddy i plan on building before Dec waiting &researching everything first
Thx for sharing this should be the first video for all miners to watch. Safety comes above everything else.
As a gta electrician, I appreciate how thorough and educational this is for the general public. I see so many fires due to bullshit shoddy wiring.
"Gta electrician" what like gta 5 rp ? 😂 Or is really a real job and I'm just stupid ?
I was setting up my new little mining rig the other weekend and totatly didn't even think of them being on the same sercet as my computer in the bedroom. YEP pop went the breaker. They did some odd wire job on this place but I figure the same wall was running the same wire, but my other breaker is only three walls and the bathroom, while the other does the wall that shares with the bedroom, theliving room and kitchen. WHile they have appliances on other breakers. I was wonder what the limit is for such. Now that I confirmed what I thought was right I feel more comfortable where I rigged them up at.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful to a budding miner like myself. Got 11 GPUs so far, jammed into old computers for now, and this will help me plan out my expansion and deployments. 👍
Great information. Thanks a bunch 👍
This video is exactly what I needed I'm doing my mining at my office, I run a small flooring Buisness and have two rigs set up in the back of the showroom , and have been thinking of expanding I'll call my landlord and see about adding 240v into our unit
240 volts is a no brained as u can literally have the same power with half the amps
awesome thanks for the information! Im just not building a small building for my mining rigs and was telling the electrician I wanted to run a 30amp 240v line to the shed., and he said it would be smarter to just run two 20amp 120v lines. He then looked into it and realized i was correct.. which made me not want to use him to do the install lol.
I did days worth of personal research going from 0 knowledge to "unofficial expert" adept at understanding watts from every far corner of the internet... I'm happy to see this video and have everything I studied validated and confirmed.
What happens if there is a sudden power cut, does pc components get damaged?
How do you ventilate your rigs in there???
Red Panda, I completed a tear down and changed the thermal pads/paste on a 3080 Asus Tuf card like your having throttling issues with. I switched thermal pads with Thermalright 12.8's and had 0-2c change. The pads in those cards and VRM heatsink are of good design/quality. I did find one of my thermal pads didn't have plastic removed from one side ( Bad QC?). The thin Aluminum backplate being transferred all the heat via rear 3mm Thermal pads on the VRM's isn't adequate enough to dissipate the heat. Best solution was a perfect size heatsink I and others have used from Amazon. I sat it on the card with regular thermal pads/tape and saw a 6-8c change. 80 mm fan extruding heat off heatsink offered no real change. This allows me to run the Asus Tuf 3080 at 97 hashrate, 80 fan speed, 234 watts, -200 core, + 1000 clock ( Can go Waaay higher 1350+ under 100 c for over 100 Hashrate), temp 90c. Ambient temp 24c.
could you solve the multiple outlets to one breaker problem(1500w per breaker/room limit) with a pdu that can plug into a 15amp 120v outlet?
Can you please recommend me a surge protector for my mining rig. What brand / specs you use. I have one 1 X 3080 single worker
Glad you found some great C13 C14 Red power cables.
Did you buy stuff from infinite cables @chancoin?
last time ive seen a video you were at 15k subs, now your at 92k, congrats.
Panda can you do a video where you show what a good first asciminer would be?
Red panda. First off grear videos! You’re the man!! I’m confused as to why you are only drawing 5-10 watts less switching over to 240v. You should be drawing half the amps and half the wattage.
Hi RPM, just wanna say this is a really good video, it feels so good be safe, knowing what you are doing around these power hungry rigs! I learned things from you!
That's a really awesome setup. Glad you ask your viewers to seek professional help. Nearly burn my setup a year ago
Yup agreed. Safety should always be first
now theres gonna be even more orders for spacegoats lol
Very educational thanks for the knowledge will most definitely hire my electrician ❤️🚀❤️
Have you considered putting a UPS before a mining rig?
Thanks, been waiting for this video! A request if possible!! A video on security would be great, VPN, cold storage device and networking. Please and thank you!
thank you so much for making this vid, I was turning my shed into a mining shed and i was really confused what i need to get and do
thanks that was very informative. I'm just starting out with cryptomining with my gaming pc while i'm not using, but eventually I'm gonna find enough gpus to make a complete mining rig.
Thanks! This is an oddly underserved area of crypto mining tutorials.
this video made me go check my circuit breakers and alot of them are a mix of 15/20 amp ones, with one 50, 40, and two 30amp ones. altho its my dryer/washer/stove that takes those high number ones. didnt realize some of my circuit breakers have a decent limit for mining. one of the 30amp is available seems to be 220v which im planning on moving all my rigs into :) thanks panda
How is surge protection handled?
This was very inspiring, thank you! 😁
What Wire Shelf do you use to hold all your mining racks?
very nice I do like the red cables and it stands out.
Another reason to have a certified electrician install its is for insurance, most insurance companys will null invoid your insurance if your house burns down and you DIY'ed it.
Be smart ,pay a master electrician; not only for your own safety but for your familys and neigthbours too.
edit*:
seem alot of people dont understand the 80% rule; it is for a continuous load...
As power runs through cables, they heat up. A hotter wire will have more resistance than a cooler one, drawing more amperage over ttime from he intital power on. This is also why the awg of connectors to the pdu and of the strands to gpus is very important.(moar girth ok!... ;) )
Nice video! Thanks, I just upgraded to a 60amp 240 and two 20amp protected 120s. I’m running more ASICS than gpus atm.
Thank you. Finally someone explained it
Thanks for the advice. Too bad I've already learnt those things the HARD way long before I tumbled across your channel...
Well Done SAFETY FIRST which is good. Larger cable runs cooler, cooler everything runs lower chance of overheating causing fire ESPECIALLY as these rigs run 24x7 full blast which is HIGHLY unusual in any but a refinery / industrial production facility.
and
KEEP THAT AIR FLOWING around everything inc cables, and in and out of the room, no closed doors, sealed rooms MUST have air intake and exhaust.
Red Panda, in the time that you made this video as comes as no surprise that many of the items are no longer available. But answer me this: when you are plugging in to the 240 volt line with your power strip, power distribution bar, are you supplying 240 volts or 120 volts to each power supply?
Glad to see a miner with some sense! Great video and thank you for preaching safety to noobs!
Exactly what I need, thank you so so much!
I just talk about this and you made a video! I appreciate it so much man. Definitely gonna copy what u got. Dummy proof for me
Just want to say this video inspired me to do the exact thing and I love it.
Thanks for the vid! Was planning on doing the same setup in my basement :)
In Finland we got 62amper and 220-240 volt so that is over 13k watt
How many gpus u are running now in ur house , what will you do if u get more that that , will u use next 30A with another cable ?
This video and your description really helped me a lot. PDU is what I needed to find. Now looking at those C13 to C14 cords. I see the ones you showed are 14 AWG, the ones I am finding fastest and easiest are 18 AWG. I know it is better to have more and not need then to need and not have. I am basically only running 850W PSUs because that is all I can get ahold of without fights. 1200/1250 aren't as easy. Would an 18 AWG be ok you think for my 850W PSUs? Only pushing about 500W from each PSU.
My power surges all the time, I know the hustle too well. I need to get my upgraded as well. How much do you think it would cost?
next question is.. how do you keep your mining barn and basement clean? I didn't notice any dust on your video O.O
I am curious too. Is it just the clean air in your surroundings or do you something externally to remove the dust? Thanks.
Thank you so much for the video this is exactly what I needed!
14gauge is overkill on a psu power cable. 1000w psu @ 240v is only pulling 4.2amps max! Even at 1500w psu that's only 6.6amps. No need to stress about the thickness. I have a box of about 50 240v cord(I used to own a Marijuana business) and those cables handled 1000w lights without ever getting warm.
Thanks for this info...im building my first rig so this gives me some ideas to think about when expanding
So why is it smart to follow the 80% rule? Is it for power spikes? or for power outages so that there isn't a surge of 7000 watts all at once
Fire, you’re continuous running them so it get hot, etc., you get the jizz.
Thank you for answering my yesterday's question through this video..cheers
Ive been waiting for this, thanks.
My country uses 220V standards, our home sockets are 220V 10A
Great video Red Panda! I have been thinking about converting my rig to 220V but I have a question. Is there any difference between U.S. 220V sockets like for a cloths dryer or oven and European 220V house sockets? If all I need is a U.S. 220V socket I should be good to go but I wanted to know what I was getting into before starting the project.
Do these pdus have surge protection? And if not how do you protect all your equipment from surges?
So you can plug in one new asic per 30amp 240 vol breaker. Would you just keep adding 30 amp 240 vol breakers if you wanted to expand to multiple new asic's. Or is there a better way, looking at ones that put out 3472 watts with no overclocking
hey red panda can i mine in pc cabinet .?
Panda, upgrade those red cords from 14 to 12 AWG, ASAP before they light up like a Christmas tree. 14 is too small for a constant-hot…
Will it be a trouble if the local government finds you are using much much more electricity every month than other houses? Not sure if they are monitoring such stuff.
man this stuff is so expensive.
I'm looking at throwing my stuff onto my house's 240v but it's hard when a power strip is 200 bucks
i have a question and hope you can answer it, from your 10 awg cable to first pdu, and you want to add another pdu do just plug it from pdu1 to pdu2?
how much do you pay on your electricity bill ?
Hey Red Panda. You didn't mention where the step down from 240V to 120V happens.
There is no step down technically. 240v is 2 120v legs. Normal house power has 2 120v legs coming into the building. The only step down is done by the power supply, either is auto switching, it will sense 240v coming in and adjust, or it will have a manual switch on it to make the adjustment for 240v.
computer power supplies can run on 240v and perform more efficient too.
So using 240v is more efficient for mining?
@@speederc3662 red panda has done a video on this. It was within margin of error. So no its not.
So is it better to have the the fans at the back wall blowing into the room Vs at the front of the rack blowing towards the back wall
Question.. It looked like you plugged 220 into regular psu's. Do all computer psu allow 110v/220v? I bought two 1200 watt hp server power supplies from parallel miner but have many regular computer psu's too. Can i plug the regular one's into 220? Thanks!
Nicely done! Very informative video, this really helps, thanks! 🙂
Or 2400W in Australia with 240v not everyone is from the US
Do you have your Pdu plugged into a ups? Or whole house surge?
0:02 Why is Lorem Ispum 73% simply dummy text of the printing dummy text of the printing?
Yeah Ik I already said this in a vid a few days ago
The AC display meter is it pretty straight forward to have it installed?
Could u please repost the link for those red cables? It seems to be broken.
Awesome stuff @red panda mining can we also use Y splitter 2 c13 to 1 c14 cable to power 2 atx psu? Assuming the cables is rate 14awg and 15amps
How do you use 240V line from the breaker when everything else is 120V? Wouldn't that fry the electronic components? Confused!
How do you setup your 120mm fans? Is it as an exhaust fan or does it supply air in?
Hey panda I’ve built a lot of rigs already but my fear is etherium 2.0 coming. What will we do then and what happens with our rigs!?
pov: in the UE all the outlets are 220v and the outlets being at hip high it will probably be 15A with the toe high ones, being at 30A (220x30= 6600W , * 0.8 = 5.280W) without any installation
Just at this point now , I have 3 rigs so now having to move them around
Thank you for another great video, I see you and other miners showing there rigs and how to get get into mining. but one thing i dont see alot of is once you all up and running and the bit coins are rolling in. How do you get your bit coins out of your wallet and into your hands/Bank account?
thanks again
swap those 15amps for dual 20s n call it a day, hot wire neutral whoallla 240v
Yeah I absolutely fucked up my first motherboard by running my 3200watt mining rig (ON THE SAME BREAKER AS MY 1000 WATT PC). Yeah, lesson learned. My dad is an electrician so now we run a 20 amp and 240volts per power supply. Yeah I know it might be overkill but I have space for it and want to do it right.
thanks for the video man, cheers
Aside from space goat meter what other meter does everyone use?
@Teressa beckham who's that
Thank you @redpanda very helpful for my next level mining !
So if I have a rig with 6 x 3080 cards it would be safe to plug into a 120v socket? or do i need to have an electrician install a 240v?
this power connection...... so I have to use 240 v power supply for mother board ? and it safe ? thanks
Big fan
Where can I get the spacegoats printed out case ??
Thank you for the info.
I have a 40amp on braker with a 10/3 50ft cable running to my mining room. From there how do I make sure that I can connect up to 5 mining rigs with total of 36 GPUs + 5 CPUs + 5Motherboards + 7 PSUs
Currently have
--------------------
. 4 Mining Rigs
. about 40amps
. about 4200 watts
Had connected 4 rigs + 32 GPUs + 4 MOBO + 6 PSU and running about 40amps already
Plus the power strip you have is a 30amp...and with what I have is already way above the 30amps
you have amazing content. I am wondering how much power does each rig requires or how much does one GPU requires?
As crypto people get larger gains mining will just cont to blow up in my opinion. I just got two used s9. Good to know I can only do one per 15 amp correct? So like one in each room?
Hey RedPanda, what are you actually doing after ETH stops proof of work? You just switch to another coin? I ordered 6x RTX 3090 and start to mine soon, but I actually ask this question myself. lol
Thanks your the man thank you for all your help :)
Beautiful!
Red panda how do you feel about bulk ordering gpus from china. I have a opportunity to buy 180 1660 supers for $200usd each.
this will cost me 32k and I plan to spend 13k on the remaining parts needed total of 45k invested.
Any advice? im pretty new to mining, have only been using my personal rigs to mine making a few hundred a month but I want to move to the next level.
