4 gpu's I think you may need a heat exchanger and a hot tub for the heat you will be making. I wonder how long before people are using evaporative cooling towers to cool their crunchers at home. It is nice to have the heat in winter time, but when you need to run the a/c to keep the room cool it feels like your wasting electricity that could be running a few more crunchers. Best of luck on the GPU crunching

One of the reasons I run 285s atm; they are quite well behaved in terms of their heat output. When the rig finally gets moved to its new home, it will be the heating for that room, as there is currently no heating in there. In the summer, I can always back off the overclocks, and if necessary shut down 1 or 2 GPUs, but living in Scotland - this is unlikely to be a big problem!! It will be a long time before the 4th GPU comes on-line since a case upgrade needs to happen first, followed by a third loop for my existing third GPU and then a PSU upgrade!

if it ever got to the stage where I couldn't manage the heat output, I would back off; there is no way I mad enough to start looking at a/c purely for this! I also have limited myself to run only one dedicated cruncher - I can't afford to run any more - so it makes sense (to me) to 'tool it up' as much as I can.

Woohoo:

A day late, but hopefully my 1090 will turn up today! Just waiting for the bit that says "the driver has got in his cab" on the tracking site now!!!
