Server Location

I was curious what the general server location is in USA and Europe. I like to rent hash power occasionally and it would help to know if USA pool server is East/Central/West as well as the Europe server UK/Northern Europe/Eastern/Etc... Ultimately, I want to make sure my rented hash has the best ping/latency possible. Thank you!

This is my setup I have been working on for the last couple weeks that lives in my garage in Texas. I love tinkering around. It has been working great, but I already want to add more and build more haha

Solar (seen in the background outside of older setup in last picture)

  • 400W of panels
  • Renogy Charge Controller
  • 500W Inverter
  • 12v 100ah battery

Currently I turn the miners off and on via phone app of a smart wifi enabled power strip around 9am from work. They currently only run when I am producing ~200+ watts of solar which is about 9am - 6pm at the moment, and an additional 2 hours on the battery which leaves about 2 remaining which keeps the smart power strip alive and connected through the night. I could push the battery more but I will wait until I add another.

Future state currently in progress is programming logic via Home Assistant that will automatically measure incoming watts, and turn miners on after 5 continuous minutes of power exceeding x amount of watts (200) and then turn off after battery depletes to 60-70%

Case & General Cooling

  • laser cut a case
  • 2 x 1800 rpm 120mm PC fans for cool air intake
  • 2x 3000+ rpm 120mm fans for exhausting hot air through a lasercut/3dPrint window adapter.
  • 1x 120mm pc fan on top that blows cool air over the PSU's that are mounted on the back of the case.
  • Each miner has a smart plug on a power strip that I can turn on and off from work on my phone.
    • Helps with miners like NerdQaxe++ that struggle to reconnect when power and internet come back on at the same time, quick remote power reset after Internet is back up fixes it

4 Miners ~11-13 TH/s @ 170W-220W (includes 36W from 12v x4 fan power/controller)

  • 1x NerdQaxe++ ~6.6-7.4 TH/s, Temps ~58c-60c Asic/VRM
    • Arctic MX-6 thermal paste
    • 120mm front fan for stock asic heatsink , 92mm rear fan, both using 3d printed adapters
    • additional heatsinks on mosfets, vrm, anywhere else that felt hot
  • 1x Gamma 801 ~3 TH/s, Temps ~60c-62c Asic, 55c vrm (I struggle to push this further, but I know you can get 4+ TH/s)
    • Arctic MX-6 thermal paste
    • Custom 3d Printed stand
    • Noctua 80mm front fan & stock heatsink, but sanded the black paint off to expose direct aluminum. 60mm rear fan
    • additional heatsinks on mosfets, vrm, anywhere else that felt hot
  • 2x Gamma 601, ~1.4-1.7 TH/s, Temps ~58c-60c Asic/VRM
    • Arctic MX-6 thermal paste
    • 1 with Noctua 40mm on stock (sanded down) heatsink, 1 with upgraded heatsink from vendor
    • remix of a dual 3d printed stand each having a 5v 60mm usb fan that I cut and soldered to a splitter
