Just got my s19 pro a few days ago. Everything's good, but man, the heat in my tiny room is insane. Anyone know a cheap way to vent it out?

I found an item that might help you. It’s a shroud for the Antminer S19, looked it up on eBay check that out. But watch out for scummy sellers.
Are you in the USA? I have extra parts you might need.
Nah, not in the USA. Shipping costs are wild, like way more than the parts. I found what I need locally, though. I’m ordering them soon, thanks!
Wait, aren't you worried about the noise in there too?

Right? Like, he’s mining coins and living in that same space 😂.
Just a heads up, you need an eight-inch duct, not four like in your pic. If you want quiet, a Zeus cooling fan could help out.
I see both sizes available now. For sure, I’m glad I checked four-inch definitely wouldn’t work for my miner. That Zeus fan looks solid. Does it really cut down the noise from the s19?
Way quieter than the stock fans. Definitely worth it. Be sure to share pics once you set things up!
I actually slept in a room with GPU rigs before. Got used to it, even slept fine if I was tired.

That heat can't be good for air quality, right? I’ve mined on a laptop and felt kinda dizzy from all the heat and fan noise.
You’re kind of exaggerating, open a window if anything. But yeah, sleeping next to all that gear isn’t ideal for health.

I was a total newbie back then. Lived in a hostel and mining in the winter felt nice… at first. Mornings were rough though.
Mining in hostels is tricky. What if the management catches you? They could kick you out or steal your gear.

In Russia, it’s super risky. Admins can just take your equipment without a second thought if they find out.
I wanted to post this earlier but my phone was acting up. I mined with a gaming laptop and the electric bill was something to watch.
You sure seem like an AI bot… just saying.

In Russia, people aren't too fond of tricky miners. Heard about someone who set up a rig in a hotel then lost everything.

Minergate was a total scam, right? Their hashrate was always half of what it should’ve been. Glad I didn’t invest more time there.
