I've got a bit of experience with these rosewill cases and have the L4500 and the L400o versions.
I prefer the L4000 as it has a 3 x 120mm fan bracket in the center that you can simply put Delta 250cfm fans in :)

The L4500 needs a lot of work and you have to make fan and GPU brackets, but it's not too hard out of angle and square tube.
I have mine in a DC and I'm easily cooling 5 x 1080 ti Founders Edition cards and that's actually just with 140cfm Scythe fans at the moment.

I'm working on revision 2 right now and I'm hoping to fit a 2400W delta PSU in as well as 7 x 1080 ti's

Just noticed today Rosewill has Revision C out aka RSV-L4000C which now has three front mounted 120mm fan brackets from the factory as well as a redesigned rear panel getting rid of the expansion slots and adding more fan slots.

Would still love to see dual PSU support as I also run 1080 TI's. Dual PSU's make it so much easier.

Switch to server PSU's and do a little custom mounting and all your problems are solved with 7-8 1080 ti's :)

I'm confused as to why they have 3 x 120mm in the front and then 5 x 80mm in the middle?
There is plenty of room to get cables under/over 120mm fans, and the delta 250cfm's are beasts.

I do appreciate more fans in the rear though...and maybe the next version will have mounting options for dual 1200/1500W, or 2400W server PSU's :D

I'll stick with my ATX PSU's for mining. I have nothing against the HP server PSU's I see other peeps using but I'm not trusting $6,000+ worth of GPU's to some power breakout board coming from the same place the craptastic risers come from.

I'll either run less GPU's per chassis (assuming I like the chassis coming tomorrow) or modify the rear window/panel to support a second PSU if I want to run my 1080 TI's in there.

I might also build a 1070 rig out of that chassis in which case dual PSU's isn't necessary. So I have a couple of options.

Bit of a thread revival...

Now that I have a third Vega on the way I'm starting to consider going the route of consolidating into this Rosewill chassis, probably with 3 570s.

I've been thinking that if I go this route that I'd want to flip the gpus around to align with front -> back airflow. Seems a simple matter of drilling new holes for the metal crossbars. The CPU and PSU would be toasty, but then some new fans could be added at the front in addition to the midplane.

Has anyone tried this?

Or mount the server with the front in the hot aisle. Make the case fans (if any) and cpu fan blow to the front of the case. Only exhaust going the wrong direction will be the psu. At 90% efficiency, that's maybe 10% of the heat going the wrong way, which is tolerable.

That occurred to me as well. Probably easier than drilling. This would eventually live in a garage so I don't have a good heat segregation method planned yet.

UPDATE!!!


Finally received the version 8 risers, EVGA 1000 watt Platinum power supply and 3 of my fans. Still waiting on the center 80 mm's, I have some old ones that I can use if I have to temporarily.

I am installing Windows 10 Pro as I type this and none of the GPU's are connected yet.

The version 8 risers are fairly new and have three power connection options, came in handy too, sata molex and pci gpu 6 pin connector.

I am running six Galaxy P106-100 GTX 1060 6gb mining gpu's.

I also added a unknown oem cpu 80 mm fan to the rear of the case, that thing spins at 4800 rpm and moves some air. Kind of loud tho.

The Gpu's in testing ran pretty cool in a Antec 900 case.

I'm sure I will mess with it until I'm satisfied with the performance.

My youngest daughter liked those lighted 120mm fans because they are "cool".

And yes I removed the front door crappy filter and plastic panel with the tiny air holes, gets much better airflow like this.

Installed Windows 10 and that went fine. Now I'm downloading Cuda 9 and then install it and what ever driver that installs and it should be running shortly.

First assembly turned ok pretty nice.




First run mining Aeon.


According to my watt meter its 531 watts while its mining.

And after a few minutes afterburner locks up.:(

Looks like it just runs out of ram, two gigs is not enough.

I was not surprised seems like everyone recommends a min of 4 gigs.

Need more DDR3.

Now I'm running it without afterburner to see how it does.

5565 H/s mining Aeon.

457 watts.

Mid 50's temps with auto fan speed at about %35 and slowly creeping up..

EDIT: Robbed one 4 gig stick from my daughters gaming pc.

Well 4 gigs IS a minimum.

It sure likes 4 gigs of ddr3 2133 makes it more responsive.

I fired up afterburner again setting core clock to +150 and mem +850 so its a little slower but i'll keep tweeking it.

I probably do not have 2133 but I likely have a 4GB stick of DDR3 non-ECC. I think @Marsh may have gotten a few GB the other day since I am basically trying to shed DDR3 as fast as possible. If you want me to look, happy to send for the cost of a USPS Priority Mail small flat rate box to help your build.

@Klee what DDR3 speed do you need?

I have plenty but its a ecc ram and the biostar board does not like it, I tried the swap two sticks of ecc ram into my daughters amd 8520 pc but it also does not like the server ram, I could have swore it could take ecc but it does not so I robbed one 4 gig stick from it for now.

Sure just let me know what you have, I could always use more ddr 3 so I could put this ram back in her pc.

Thanks

So far no lock ups.

500 watts at the wall.

6558 H/s at the slightly slower speed.

I really was debating between a 750 watt power supply and the 1000, if I would have went with the 750 I could have saved $100.

But I really though it would be using more power than it is, its very efficient.

EDIT: Highest speed is 6605.7 H/s mining Aeon. Not spectacular but pretty ok at 1100 H/s each but Nvidia cards let mine more algorithms.

And the power use is real nice.

You should switch over to LUX or XZC to maximize profits on Nvidia, and if you really want AEON just buy it :)

AEON @ 6600H/s = ~$8.25/day or ~$1.37 per card
LUX @ 80MH/s = ~$24.35/day or ~$4.05 per card
XZC @ 6600kh/s = ~$24.02/day or ~$4 per card

Seconded. 2x 2667 v2 achieves better H/w and probably H/$ as well (on Aeon). 4200H/s @ 310w at the wall.

Interesting data point nonetheless. :)

This was a test and I used the same version of xmrig-nvidia that I was using to test the cards individually on another pc running windows 7.

It auto-configured the cards so all I had to do was run it once then check the config it auto generated and add the pool and user info and I was mining.

I did not want to start with anything new so I used a coin and mining program I am very familiar with.

That was a baseline to compare to to judge the performance, and I will mine other coins but this is just the test phase with the first coin.

I'm wanting to make sure I have no issues before I mine other coins.
