Summer sucks for crunching

I've had to turn down the crunching... running an AC all day for 1 room to crunch safely.. Meh having a real hard time justifying it.. considering im gone all day at work.. it seems superwasteful to crunch and create all the heat for me to just AC that room lol..

At least in winter its helping heat the house lol..



all i can say is its 85 degrees in my crunching room with the AC off.. >< yuck it heats the whole house too..

going to probably run at a reduced rac for the summer I think..

how do you guys manage your heat in the summer?

I shut it down on really hot days that I'm not home. I won't leave the AC on for a computer. Well, not often anyways. :-o

I have my office in my basement so even if I have the rest of the house at 76-80 degrees the office never gets over 71.

It´s never a problem when living in Denmark...On very hot summerday we are lucky to hit 25-28*C...The average summerday in Denmark is more like 23-26*C

I just put my latest build in the basement, it absolutely loves the nice cool air down there.

Down in the lower level of the house. Always nice and cool.

Maybe, ill have to finish part of the basement and create an area for the computer/office stuff.

knowing my luck, it will rain for a month and ill be swimming around with my computers in the basement lol

You would obviously want to put them all raised off of the ground to give you some lead time should your sump go bad (not listening to this advice myself at the moment but planning on raising them off the ground).

I just don't use the back room at the office now, I just shut the door and let 'er heat up back there. :D heh...can't be real good for the rigs to live in the heat, but it's just what has to be right now. They aren't complaining too much yet. :p

I miss living where 90F was a "heat wave" and not nearly every damn day...

I just live with the heat. No basements in my neighborhood due to the high water table. So I have spread out my boxes a bit. One system is in the front room behind my Uncle's late 80's (as in circa) big screen. When the new build is finished it will go in the garage with the AMD box. My desktop, 7 of 9 and both lappies are in my room with temps at night rising to about 85~88F.

In late June I am planning on adding another feed from the central air as well as a return. My room doesn't have a return now because of the fireplace. It's against code to add one until I block off the chimney flue. Ack!

I just leave the AC on 24/7. Even with that my electric bill does not go over $120 a month. It is worth it to be comfortable.

Where the hell do you live? With my AC on maybe 1 or 2 days in a month my electric bill was $160 last month.... (Although I do have 9 computers on 24/7 - 2 of which are my wife's desktop and netbook) as well as then my work laptop on all day Tuesday and Friday when working at home.

Edit: July/August last year where temp was around 90+ degrees every day we had the air on 24/7 and the bill ended up over $300

Washington State. I am only running 3 rigs (all have 80% or better PSU's) and my AC unit is just a little 11,600 BTU window unit. Other factors. I live by myself, dont own a tv and dont use lights hardly at all.

Very hot my bedroom. But I dont care.

My energy light side (http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?..._code=LB#specs) Jedi are ready for you!

My remedy is simple.

Step 1. Leave the windows open. Leave the crunchers crunching. They will handle it or shut down if not.

Step 2. Get on motorcycle and go enjoy the days whilst they are good enough for riding.

Step 3. Stop at beach plastered with half nekid women.

Step 4. Enjoy the day!

Yo-

Yo, you forgot the most important thing of the day...Have a beer. Just ask Beerdrinker.:D:D:D

Nope...It´s more like this:

1. Open window.
2. Take a beer :)
3. If it´s to hot and the crunchers turn off and you cannot afford the AC, tell the kids to turn OFF that friggin TV!! Take to much juice!!
4. Take a beer :) :)
5. Still to hot? Ask wife to start stripping..
6. Beeeerrrr.......ahhhh :):):)
7. Crunches way to hot??? Let ´em rip!!
8. Crunchers died??? You needed that upgrade anyway...
9. Lot´s off beers...You need them for step 10 where you need courage.
10. Break out the card and order from favourite shop!! :cool:

Sorry Yo. I do not think that number one will help much . However, I heartily agree with three in particular and by following that advise number four is certain to follow.:)

It's starting to get into the upper 90's in Arkansas. Opening the window would be counter productive.

Keep that AC running Trigggl! :D

Put the computers outside!

I think I have it figured out ... add more computers/GPUs so you can drop the clocks on the existing rigs and then you can get the same credits/day :D
