Title: Ghettominers.... Post by: JaredKaragen on February 20, 2017, 08:14:54 AM The things we do to keep all of our cards up and running when you perform an upgrade.... so.....
How about contributing to this thread of ghetto-fabulous GPU miner configurations.... Just think duct tape and bailing wire sort of thing ;) For instance, this PC has a 215w power supply, yet it houses a GTX980 and hosts a GTX960SSC as well =) Luckily the temporary 1600w power supply was tall enough to let the PCIE riser just baaaaaarely reach. Previously it was able to (surprisingly) host the GTX960SSC all by itself; while now the 1600w supply is supplying solely PCIE-plug power on both cards. I am amazed the OEM power supply didn't melt after running the 960 solid for months. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c115/JaredKaragen/Mobile%20Uploads/16837750_10154055516391371_1936903859_n_zpszd8cr6io.jpg I know you guys got some juicy photos to share.....

The metal housing will short out the GPU. Title: Re: Ghettominers.... Post by: JaredKaragen on February 20, 2017, 09:28:07 AM Putting a GPU like that resting on a PSU is a fire issue. The metal housing will short out the GPU. Nope, its risen up by an insulator. like .5" Only temporary until I get some rivets and some framing material to build a rack to replace the chassis. That pc was a "throw away" picked up from next to the trash cans.... it only had a bad HDD. The real fire hazard was running it with the ~225w PSU powering the GTX960 and mining.... Tis why it sat outside then... |
