Besdies you will need new PSU for minning with 2 gpus. Is this rig given to you for free?

Can you please suggest the machine that would support more than 2 GPUs.

Title: Re: Dell Precision T3500 for GPU-based mining Post by: zapni on February 12, 2018, 12:44:32 PM I know it's an old topic, but when you try to google T3500, we always find this post in first result place. SO.
You can put 3 graphics cards in a T3500 computer. I have actually 2 T3500 with 3 cards: - First one: 2*1060 and 1070 : 560watts - Second: 3* 970 But you have to change the PSU or put an other PSU for 2 graphics cards. The T3500 power supply could only take one graphics cards safely. And you need more pcie power plugs, for graphics card power and risers. So i keep the T3500 PSU for risers and add an other PSU for graphics cards power. I try with 4 and 5 graphics cards (with a duplicate pcie card) but no result. May be more patient next time... I use the blue pcie 16x slot and the 2 pcie slot 1x. Works fine since 1 month. EDIT: 4 graphics cards for this computer. With patient... Just a power issue... I don't try more than 4. |
