Title: What can I put my GPU's on?
Post by: notaek on April 08, 2013, 02:18:33 AM
In order to fit more GPU's on each motherboard, I have to put them out of the case, and for future rigs I probably won't even bother with cases.  My question though is what can I set my GPU's on?  I was going to put them on a sheet of plastic but I am worried about static charge.  Is there anything I can do to prevent shocking my cards?

I have a couple of mine resting on pieces of wood, it's been working great for over 1 year

The anti-static bags vid cards of motherboards come in could work.  depending on your setup, they can just sit vertically above the MB, assuming you are using PCIx extenders.  I built some wood rigs that keep the cards about 43 - 4' above the MB.  I've seen other use shelve systems where the cards are held up by the shef above the MB using simple zip ties too.

the 'pictures of your mining rigs' threads has all kinds of different ideas...some better than others.  :)
