Product Review

The Hydra 3 is a custom made 4U server case for high density GPU mining using 8 or 6 cards, without the unwanted air leak of open frames. This case supports eight full-length graphics cards, one ATX/Micro-ATX motherboard, and one power supply. Full depth design places the motherboard and power supply behind the cards, to give you more space for dual CPU applications. The front railing where the GPUs mount can be switched from 8x to 6x mounting holes to give additional space between your cards when only using 6 GPUs. Thick industrial quality steel offers outstanding strength and durability to hold all your cards without flexing for safer storage and transport. This 4U server case is capable of being stacked and rack mounted. Extended distance from GPU to MB requires the use of PCI-E risers. This is the best enclosure type for high-performance number crunching rigs that generate a ton of heat. Its closed cabinet provides a critical function of active airflow management (front-to-back) to prevent hot exhaust air from circulating back into the equipment air intake. Up to 3 x 120mm and 4 x 80mm high rpm server fans can be installed.
