I have this mobo for rig right now:

It's not full but was thinking use the 3 full size PCIe for GPUS then get a case that's well ventilated but not see through where you can mount the fourth GPU on it's side with riser (2 expansion slots side ways, 8-10 straight up and down, seen these before).

Supposedly 1060s can mine silently (my more powerful stuff is all AMD right now) http://www.legitreviews.com/silent-ethereum-mining-evga-geforce-gtx-1060-22-mhs_195529

Then there's silent fanless GT 1050 Ti. https://www.amazon.com/Palit-GeForce-KalmX-Express-Graphics/dp/B01N3CC5DU

I mine with a fanless GT 730 2GB and GT 1030 2GB. (The GT 730 does a whopping 0.78 MH/s PIRL [eth clone] ). The GT 730 overheats if I don't have it in this weird old fan and case that really circulates air. The GT 1030 seems to stay cooler than any of my GPUs with fans no matter what I do to it, but it only does about 5.3MH/s PIRL.

GT 1030: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487358&_ga=2.129884236.1168226600.1522120681-251661253.1513620173&_gac=1.254727802.1522254076.Cj0KCQjw-uzVBRDkARIsALkZAdn9agJy7pEzzw_oBxPCD8hk46-qO62ZELuqkzz0MHkBkaceZaoPFwgaAoQ2EALw_wcB

Generally EVGA and Corsair are your best picks. Even among those brands though, there are different suppliers that have different quality of parts. It's a rabbit hole that I go down sometimes but it's such a waste of time TBH. Bottom line is this PSU is a rebranded single rail Super Flower PSU (pretty good) with 5 year warranty (pretty good, and realistically all one really needs in a PSU).

Will it power 8 GPUs?

It has 6 PCIe lines, 1 (extra) CPU line (can convert to PCIe), and 4 molex lines. So all total 11 connectors. Each GPU needs a connector, and its riser needs a connector. So 8 GPUs needs 16 connectors. This falls short by 5. Which is why I like to recommend two smaller (750W or 850W) PSUs typically instead of 1 big PSU.

All hope is not lost though. If you're powering smaller GPUs (and it looks like you are) then you can buy splitters (like these) to turn one PCIe connector into two.

Things get tricky when you use splitters on a line that already has 2 PCIe connectors on it. Use this link to confirm that you're not overloading your line: https://www.gpuminingresources.com/p/psu-cables.html

Another tip: Use risers that allow for power from a molex connector.

update: I suggest this one (https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Platinum-Certified-Modular-Renewed/dp/B07L8NHNB3) it's better (albeit "renewed") and cheaper.

Thanks! Here’s the one I used, just disassembled the plastic shroud. Good luck!!

A bit overkill, but it is awesome! lol.

MOST IMPORTANT IS YOUR POWER SUPPLY. 8 Cards at 100 Watts each (like RX 570) is 800 Watts, plus another 100 for the MB & CPU is 900 Watts. With an "80% Gold" you need a 1200 unit. Can be expensive, here is one of the best deals: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NYVTHH4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

1. Buy this plug- https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NAT9 (have electrician swap the outlet)
   
   
2. Get a PDU- I use this one . https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046JS1ES (buy the used ones for ~$315 or so)
   
   
3. Snag a few of these cables to run from PDU to PSU's - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ABO7PA
   
   
   The PDU is 30amp, but good luck finding a 50amp PDU. You can run ~6ish mining rigs off of this setup (6 GPU per rig)

Thank u so much :D
Gonna take a look at it.

What u think about this one? Got a friend that wants to give me one like it
EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W, Semi Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Power Supply 210-GQ-1000-V1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017ICWP82/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_agUrzb1M91GMS

One last questions.

I am looking at the tripplite c13 to c14 cables on Amazon.

Should I go with the Heavy-Duty cables or is that overkill? Stick with the standard ones?

As for the NEMA L6-30R, would this be the outlet I need? Socket Outlet

Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for answering them. You seem knowledgable and I rather have you confirm this then do my own research and cheap out. Thanks!

I can step in and answer a few on from my own tent.

2. I personally dont use an intake fan, just leave the mesh openings and Duct openings on the bottom open.

3. refer to Autonomous incoming reply.

4. I'm using an APC 7900 switched PDU i got off ebay for $85

5. I'm using this fan ( https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Inline-Variable-Controller-Ventilation/dp/B01DXYMJ94/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518212723&sr=8-4&keywords=vivosun+6%22 ) Plus side is this fan is indeed quiet and runs at 60watts for me.

6. I've got a blower style fan circulating the air inside i had this fan before the tent so i just used it ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1LYHTE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) .
Still considering getting another Vivosun 6" as intake with a carbon filter just to eliminate dust on cards and making maintenance easier

7. Tent i use 48 x 24 x 84 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WMBQZ90/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Fits this shelf with Rigs mounted with a ton of room( https://www.amazon.com/Tier-Heavy-Non-Corrosive-Metal-Shelving/dp/B076GXK3ST/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1518213252&sr=1-2&keywords=Hyper-Tough-5-Tier-Wire-Shelving)

8. $199.51 total including 25feet 6" duct, hangers and an 6" round to 6"oval to be mounted through the window. (Not including Shelving the rig is mounted to inside)

Thanks, I switched it out with this. Better?

You need to build/buy a mining rig frame. You can check what other people did. Put the cpu, memory, cooler on the motherboard. Then put the motherboard and power supply on the frame. Give it a try before adding any gpu.

Then you add the risers, connectors. You cat try adding one graphic card boot and give a try to make sure it works. Then add the rest.

I don't think you need 2 psu. Each care will take max 150W, the mobo + cpu another 150. That's peaking to 1050 Watts. So one 1200 psu with plenty of connectors I think it's enough.

Regarding the risers you don't need the 16x to 16x. It's better to avoid the ones with ribbon cable. This type can be used also on pcie 16x slots(inserting them in the smaller part of the slot): https://www.amazon.com/6-Pack-PCI-E-Powered-Adapter-Extension/dp/B01GU94QSQ/

Amazon.co.uk has a reference cooler 1070 for 319 pounds(around 400$ i think). It's good for a closed case with nice airflow..

[Edit] I guess people got it after i advertised it on another post... :D

Need 2min of your time to check if this all together will work OK with 6GPU , Will buy more later. Limited budget lol

The Tplink HS110's will run on 240v

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Monitoring-Assistant-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B078WM2RF5

I have purchased 3 sets of these refurbs. They are new as far as I can tell, and work perfectly.
I have been running 4 of them on 240v for 3 months now, up to 1300 watts on 2 of them.

This awesome little 5-pack.

Get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Crosse-Alerts-926-25101-GP-Wireless-Monitor/dp/B0081UR76G

You can probably do a lot with the alerts it can send out.

If I was you I would use VNC viewer to remote into all of my machines to shut them down if that is needed. You can also get power bricks that you can remotely access. Since you spent the money on 100GPUs you should probably set something like this up anyway.

I have 2 of these for an eventual 6 1080ti's: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017ICWP82/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and 6 of these for an eventual 6 1070's: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017HA3RGE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

FWIW: I just have 3 1080ti's right now. RMA'ed the other 3 (can you believe this... the model I got was apparently widely known for having a noxious smell when at load. WTF?). Once I am confident of getting these up and mitigating the heat, I'm going to buy ther other 6 1070's.

It was this shoerack that I slightly modified like this, then I placed some standoffs to secure the motherboard to the frame.

I bought these risers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071DKXK68/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just to double check, I can throw away the SATA adapters and plug the 6-pin PCI-E power directly to my PSU?

Thanks!

Question why does the wiki suggest I use Add2PSU? I use a splitter on all my rigs without issue. Is there a benefit?

https://www.amazon.com/24-pin-Connector-Splitter-Dual-PSU-adapter/dp/B016P490UU/ref=sr_1_21?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1505915766&sr=1-21&keywords=2+power+supply

Doesn't matter, it isn't drawing any additional power. You can use an extra plug off one of the daisy chains if you wish. All it does is power two of the 24pins as a signal to tell the power supply to wake up.

 

Just a cleaner way to do what this is already doing:
https://www.amazon.com/24-pin-Connector-Splitter-Dual-PSU-adapter/dp/B016P490UU

> everything is "ships within 1-3 weeks"

Not this one, 1 left tho. Grab it while it's hot :)

The links below are clean, no hidden bullshit affiliate codes.

I'll just link the ones I use. You should buy whatever brand you have a preference to. I buy my PDU's used for usually 40% of the cost of a new one. There will be a ton on eBay and Craigslist in your area. I would recommend you always buy your cables brand new. If you happen to buy them on Amazon, don't ever buy from a 3rd part seller as there is a good chance they will be fakes. So stick to the ships and sold by Amazon for those.


I use these specific PDU's..

Tripp Lite Metered PDU, 30A, 30 Outlets (6-C19 & 24-C13), 208/240V, L6-30P, 10 ft. Cord, 0U Vertical Rack-Mount Power (PDUMV30HV) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012VN0I0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_DekeAbP5ZN6FN

Are you using this fan: https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Inline-Variable-Controller-Ventilation/dp/B01DXYMJ94

It says "Max Ambient Temp is 113℉ / 45℃" I assume your tent is always above that temp. Do you have any issues?

are these recommended? Im a little confused because i had pcie 8 to sata and some of the recommended risers hava sata (i think) amazon link

i would run 30a 240v lines, 2 for now, 3 if you want more space in the future. thats 10amp wire, with 2 hots and a neutral, aka 10/2. same as dryer wire, its not too pricey. you would run that to a NEMA L6-30P socket, and get a PDU such as PDUMV30HV and plug each psu in to it using these plugs: IEC-320-C14 to IEC-320-C13

These work well for me as a barrier in my window. Not sure how good it would be at capturing the dust you describe, but I have a giant 20" house fan as an exhaust pulling heat from the rig out of my house, and air flows through it just fine.

How about these?

splitter.

Aren't 8 pins rated at 150 watts? If so, then having more than two 75 watt draws on one 8 pin cable would still overdraw.

Unless I'm missing something. Which is very possible.

The SATA thing seems to be... I wouldn’t say “overstated”, because people have had serious damage, but many of us are having no trouble with them, especially when undervolting the cards.

Having said that, if you want to cut down on clutter a little, I would suggest a splitter.

For my Vegas, I put the two ends of the splitter into my card (also making it easier to disconnect from my rig if needed!), then plug the second head of my PCIe power into the riser. As long as you’re not pulling more than 300W (or 150 if a single-head PCIe), you’ll be fine.

(No bot, go away)
