Home Rig Setup & Electrical Planning Workshop
A practical two-day engineering intensive for residential miners
Master the complete engineering lifecycle of running ASIC hardware at home: 240V dedicated circuit planning, continuous load calculations (80% rule), CFM thermal airflow balancing, noise-dampening enclosure construction, and preventative hashboard maintenance.
850,000 KRW per seat
Curriculum & Bench Training Sequence
This session is structured around systematic hardware diagnosis and execution. Each stage combines theoretical physics calculations with immediate hands-on verification on our Gimpo lab workstations.
Phase 1: Electrical Infrastructure & Breaker Safety
Calculate continuous load limits according to Korean electrical safety codes. Sizing 10 AWG vs 12 AWG conductors, C-curve breaker selection, NEMA 6-20 and IEC C13/C19 PDU wiring, grounding rod resistance, and surge protection device (SPD) integration.
Phase 2: Thermal Dynamics & Negative-Pressure Airflow
Calculate required CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) based on ambient delta-T. Design push-pull inline fan configurations, ducting transitions, intake filtration against dust and humidity, and prevent thermal hot-air recirculation loops.
Phase 3: Acoustic Engineering & Silencer Fabrication
Deconstruct 75-85 dB fan signatures into low, mid, and high frequencies. Build and test baffled acoustic boxes using mineral wool, mass-loaded vinyl (MLV), and anti-vibration rubber mounts to achieve sub-45 dB residential decibel levels.
Phase 4: ASIC Teardown, Deep Cleaning & Firmware Optimization
Disassemble hashboards, clean corrosion from aluminum heat sinks, replace degraded thermal paste/pads with high-viscosity compound, diagnose faulty ASIC chips via kernel log analysis, and configure power-scaling profiles.
Expected Technical Capabilities Upon Completion
- You will confidently design a safe, fire-code-compliant 240V electrical distribution layout for your home space.
- You will accurately compute CFM air exchange requirements to keep hashboard temperatures under 70°C in peak summer.
- You will know how to construct practical sound-attenuation enclosures that satisfy residential noise expectations.
- You will gain practical confidence to tear down, clean, re-paste, and diagnose ASIC hashboards independently.
Target Audience & Prerequisites
Who This Session Is Designed For:
- Individuals preparing to deploy 1 to 4 ASIC units in a residential garage, shed, or dedicated utility room
- Crypto hobbyists wanting to transition safely from GPU rigs to commercial-grade SHA-256 or Scrypt ASICs
- Property owners needing exact electrical safety calculations before hiring certified electricians
- Miners dealing with thermal throttling, acoustic complaints, or recurring PSU failures
