Popular Cooling Solutions for Phone Farm (Fans, Pads, Heat Exhaust Boxes…)

Phonefarm is becoming an increasingly important tool in MMO, especially when combined with device management software like GemPhoneFarm. However, running dozens or hundreds of devices for a long time makes the phone prone to overheating, lag, reduced performance and quick damage.

Therefore, cooling for phone farm is a mandatory factor to ensure the system operates stably 24/7. This article helps you understand the principles, common cooling solutions and how to optimize cooling when operating GemPhoneFarm.

1. Why does phonefarm need a good cooling system?

Running a phone farm 24/7 causes the device to continuously process: screen streaming, running Automation, network processing, task synchronization... This creates a large amount of heat that causes:

• Device lags, freezes, or freezes.

• Battery swells and wears out quickly.

• Main is easily damaged due to temperature exceeding 50–60°C.

• Overheating when operating Gemphonefarm → FPS drop, slow control.

• Reduced equipment life when running long term.

According to the experience of many large farms, when the smartphone temperature exceeds the limit 45°C, performance begins to decline markedly.

→ Therefore, Good heat dissipation = stable farm + durable equipment + high ROI.

2. Causes of overheating when running phone farm

To optimize heat dissipation, first understand the cause:

2.1. Run multiple tasks at the same time

GemPhoneFarm + MMO app + browser → CPU processing continuously → heat increase.

2.2. Stream screen and control continuously

High resolution feature, continuous image transmission makes the device heat up quickly.

2.3. Hot or poorly ventilated room environment

Small, closed room, no convection → heat accumulation.

2.4. Continuous charging 24/7

Phone is charging and operating at the same time → generates a lot of heat.

2.5. BoxPhoneFarm or phones placed close together

The equipment is placed so densely that heat cannot escape.

3. Popular cooling solutions for phone farms 

3.1. Fan cooling 

Cooling fan lThe most accessible way for beginners:

Common types of fans:

• Clip-on fans attach directly to the bracket.

• Mini table fan for small farm < 20 machines.

• Mini industrial fan for farm of 50-100 machines.

Advantage

• Low cost.

• Wide coverage.

• Simple installation.

Disadvantages

• Ineffective when device is overheated.

• Easy to blow dust → machine gets dirty quickly.

• Not suitable for heavy duty.

3.2. Heatsink pad (heatsink base)

The heatsink pad is a device with a metal surface + high speed fan to help transfer heat quickly.

Advantage

• Reduce heat from 3–7°C.

• Effective for BoxPhoneFarm tray based.

• Smooth operation, low noise.

Disadvantages

• Consumes more electricity than normal fans.

• Some cheap pads have low durability.

When to use?

• Phone farm 20–80 devices.

• Device running GemPhoneFarm continuously.

3.3. Semiconductor heat sink (Peltier) – Deep, extremely strong heat reduction

Peltier is a semiconductor chip cooling technology, the metal surface is in direct contact with the back of the phone.

Advantage

• Deep discount 8–15°C.

• Keeps the machine cool and stable when running heavy tasks.

• Low noise, fast cooling in just a few minutes.

Disadvantages

• Price is higher than fan/pad.

• May condense if room is too cold.

• Need quality power source.

Suitable for:

• Heavy Gmail, Facebook Ads, TikTok maintenance.

• Large farm running strong automation with GemPhoneFarm.

3.4. Cooling Box – Professional solution for large farms

The heat exhaust box is a closed box system + hot air exhaust fan + air filter, helping to direct heat out.

Advantage

• Suitable for farms of 50–200 devices.

• Quiet operation, does not make room noise.

• Multiple phone farm tiers can be combined in one rack.

Disadvantages

• High cost.

• Need professional room setup.

5. How to set up the optimal cooling system when using GemPhoneFarm

Exclusively for GemPhoneFarm users:

5.1. Optimizing equipment layout

• Arrange in rows, creating ventilation slots.

• Do not stack machines.

• Use metal shelves instead of plastic.

5.2. Combining multiple methods

• Fan + Pad for medium farm.

• Peltier + Air conditioner for heavy farming.

• Cooling Box + Air Conditioner for large farms.

5.3. Device optimization

• Reduce screen brightness.

• Close unnecessary apps before running GemPhoneFarm.

• Use battery saver mode to reduce CPU heat.

Conclude: 

Investing in the right cooling solution not only keeps your phone cool and running smoothly, but also extends the life of your device, reduces maintenance costs, and improves overall farm performance. Depending on the size of your system, you can choose the appropriate configuration:

• Small farm: fan + heatsink pad — compact, cheap, easy to deploy.

• Medium Farm: Peltier combination pad to keep temperature stable long term.

• Large farm: Peltier radiator + heat sink + air conditioning maintain optimal environment 24/7.

When combined with GemPhoneFarm, your entire phone farm system will run smoother, easier to control, and ensure continuous stable automation operation without overheating or performance drops.
