I had to re-engineer my cooling in my workshop this year..
12x GPU's Folding 24\7 sure adds some heat. and over 120 cores Crunching at the same time.. Oh Yeah, that adds some more heat..
 
Will take some photo's of my test setup and post them tomorrow. bedtime here in Switzerland....

Would be nice to see a Master Folder/ Cruncher set up!!!

Well I got one Hybrid cooler installed, the instructions were lacking sadly, but I figured it out, second card will be easier now that I know what to do, but I'll try that another day, back to folding!

AH, now this is nice, max temps are at 55c folding with two other FTW cards in the system granted it's 10c higher than the advertised temps, but then again, that's likely not with two other cards in the system heating everything up and the Hybrid above both of them.
 
granted it IS OCed a bit, +50 core beyond FTW speed and +200 memory as well, and it's working on a 1 million PPD WU (9195)

Man, I can't wait to get a hybrid kit for my FTW. I just need 6 months of evga bucks to buy one.

That's a nice upgrade. How do you have the cards installed, where is the hybrid card mounted?? How loud would you say it is? Enjoy, I'm jelly! :)

Hybrid at the top, one space down the FTW DT, another space below that that FTW, radiator mounted at the bottom of my 900D (intake, started it as exhaust, but it didn't seem to change temps much, going back to exhaust here soon)
 
I know they say to mount the radiator above the card, but I don't have space for two of them at the top of the case, due to a 240MM radiator that overhangs the sides of the fans by about 5-10 mm either side, so that 240mm radiator is effectively taking up 360mm worth of space.
 
as for how loud... well I have a portable AC, room tower fan, going and 2 FTWs at 100% fan speed... so it's quieter than any of those, not that it's saying much heh

OK, Here are a couple of photos and test setup of my workshop cooling.
 
On our Terrace, is about 8'c at the moment here, I have 3 HP servers. These will go into my workshop once I have run a new power circuit and build a shelf.
Top one is a HP DL580 G7 with 128Gb ram and Intel 2.4Ghz CPU's, 4x with 10 cores each, total 40 cores.
Middle one is a HP DL585 G7 with 128Gb ram and AMD 2.6Ghz CPU's, 4x with 12 cores each, total 48 cores.
Bottom one is a HP DL580 G5 with 32 Gb ram and Intel 2.93Ghz CPU's, 4x with 4 cores each, total 16 cores. Grand total 104 cores.
 

 
The test fan setup, I cut into the existing fresh air recirculation filter box, cut a 150mm hole, fitted some pipes, air is being pulled by a 500m2/h inline duct fan.
Made a sound absorber out of wood for this first test stage, worked a treat. The black 250mm pipe on the left are the ones I will build next week.
The pipes, sound absorbers and fan will be mounted up on the roof.
 
All the air is pulled out the window by 4x 150mm inline duct fans, mounted in a shelf the hold all my laser disks and other equipment.
 

 

 
I have 5 Folding computers, a mix of AMD and Intel all on ASUS motherboards, running SSD and AIO coolers.
I also Crunch on these, but always leave a core spare per GPU. Adds 18 more cores to Crunching.
 
5x EVGA GTX970's.
5x EVGA GTX 980ti's, one is a Hybrid.
2x EVGA GTX1080 FTW.
 

 
This one below with the 1080's installed is part of my Phobya dual motherboard case.

 
Hope that shows a little bit of the Folding and Crunching power..

HK-Steve , And I thought I created crazy cooling systems in my home.

OK Bill, You can not say that without showing photos!!!!!!!!
