We built an 8 GPU deep learning machine with 8x NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition cards and break down what you need to know to do the same. GPU Mining Rig AMD RX5. Intel LGA 1. 15. 1 for Ethereum and Zcash Block Operations. Latest version of my guide to building and operating a mining rig is here, How to Build a 6 Rig GPU Miner for Zcash and Ethereum with Nvidia GTX 1. Ethos. Distro posted Oct 1, 2. Steemit. This is the latest model of 6 GPU mining rig I am building this week.

Heres some basic instructions for the most efficient order of operations. The idea is to get a basic computer built, troubleshoot any potential issues, install the operating system and application, then build the rest of the machine. Hardware Build. Assemble the Case. Put the CPU, CPU fan, and memory on the motherboard. Plug in the CPU fan. Attach the ATX power switches and LEDs to the power header. Plug the SATA cable into the motherboard. Put the motherboard in the case and screw it in with the smaller screws. Attach the power supply to the right side of the case. Use the screws that came in the box. Attach power cables from the power supply to the Motherboard, CPU power, SSD. Screw in one of the PCI E Riser cards, plug it into the PCI E slot closest to the processor, and plug in power from the power supply. Put a GPU into the PCI E riser card, screw it into the case, and attach PCI E power cable to it. Attach a keyboard to the motherboard and HDMI monitor to the GPU card. Plug the power cord into the Antec power supply, turn on the power switch. Press the ATX power button. The machine should boot. If it doesnt boot, this is the time to do basic troubleshooting. Dont add any more graphics cards until you get at least one working. If it does boot, set up the BIOS, connect an ethernet cable to the network that can get to the internet, and reboot. Motherboard BIOS Settings. Turn of unneeded services on the BIOS. Keep all the PCI settings on Auto. Set the graphics TOLUD to 3. GBComplete Build Guide Older version.
