I just built this for something to keep me out of trouble, didn't really expect to make any money, maybe free heat in the winter. So far I'm pleasantly surprised it's making ~$40 weekly (at rates as of today, lol) after deducting power costs. No sure how long it will last at that rate, but I'm having fun. Got one more 8pin (to dual 6pin) corsair type 3 cable arriving next week, then will be able to throw another card in there (PSU has six 8pin ports). Making about 100+ RVN daily right now, probably gonna look for newer coins once in awhile and just HODL them all and see what happens...that's my stragegy so far.
I was very surprised how well the 3 front fans do only being 800 to 1000 RPM, then again I don't have monster GPUs in this rig, just 6pin 1060s. Heat did NOT increase after closing the top, BUT I had to remove the front door because it cut down airflow too much and things heated up very quickly. Mining X16 seems to keep heat / power usage down I guess? Haven't mined much else yet, I suspect ethash might be a different story.
EDIT: The four 1060 GPUs are only pulling 330 watts at the wall...pretty sweet. I haven't mined in years, I was predicting a lot higher.
The motherboards in these HP machines do not allow any overclocking whatsoever. Therefore I would recommend getting a higher base clock CPU such as the X5675. (Clockspeed is king when it comes to gaming).
RX480 will pair nicely and should achieve 60+ fps in any game. I don't recall which GPU power connectors the Z400 has, I think you may need an adapter like this to power it.
AFAIK the Z400 only supports ECC (error correcting) RAM, and will not work with regular DDR3. Also, if you're adding to the currently installed RAM you'll need to match memory types, e.g. PC3-10600E, PC3-10600R. You can't mix 'E' and 'R' DIMMs, and if you mix different speeds then the RAM will all be downclocked to the lowest speed. You may need order different RAM if you weren't taking this into account, but luckily DDR3 ECC is cheaper than non-ECC.
From what I can tell you need your cable to be longer. I think this is something what you're looking for https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073M4643C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3MY7BbKN8CN3Z
You just want a splitter? Those are pretty common. Then you can use an extension if you need more length. Are you sure you want to split 6 to dual 8? I wouldnt think a single 6 would provide enough power for whatever needs dual 8s. What is the application?
