Title: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: azher91 on September 17, 2017, 11:25:41 AM Hi there, i ordered all of the stuff, i need to make good rig frame or wood preferable,
i have 6 1060 cards, any one with measurements can help, an hp 1200w server psu and a biostar tb85 mobo can someone guide, thank you Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: hagbase on September 17, 2017, 11:34:38 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfE_QidD75M
Just use wood instead of alu. I've done this but moved my hardware to 19" Rackcases. Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: Munz77 on September 17, 2017, 11:51:26 AM I use shoe racks from eBay. Cheap and saves time obtaining wood and building etc. You can get them for $20

https://i.imgur.com/MW1ANdi.png I added some thin, wood back supports (red lines) with holes or screws on the top so that I can quickly "hang" or remove the cards (blue) if needed. The bottom supports are to keep the cards steady. Mobo/PSU are on the slabs - you can even make them half slabs or fix them without the slabs for more airflow. Easy to make, makes it very easy to disassemble/troubleshoot rigs and the airflow is great, you can put them in front of each other so that one big fan can blow through more of them. And you can easily decide how many cards you want to put on a shelf, how much space you want between cards.

I'd assume the fastest ROI is the goal while keeping everything functioning well. In my case I already can do carpentry/furniture so i've build most of mine all out of the scrap pile I already had at home at zero cost, a lot of it was pure odds and ends ready to burn. If you DIY scrap wood or cheap PVC would work. if time/skill is an issue amazon some cheap shelving. those aluminum rigs are silly and only hinder your earnings, that's for people who are dumb or like wasting money or honestly this is their favorite thing to do and the cost doesn't matter.

When I started mining rig with the multiple Nvidia cards I have chosen the wooden rig only and made the clamps to bolt all those. Should have it in the cooling place and proper psu to avoid the heating issue. Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: alexrossi on November 14, 2017, 02:13:30 PM Wooden frame FTW! Easy to cut and in general a lot safer to manage compared to aluminium rigs
Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: JorDell on November 14, 2017, 02:22:02 PM I'm installing a rig in a the coolest room of my house, but it's a bit dusty, like stonewall and stuff...
I was wondering if some PVC around my rackcase, with a vent and some holes to change the air would be a good idea ? less dust, but maybe a bit more heat... Any opinion ? :D Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: crazydane on November 14, 2017, 02:35:32 PM I use $8 36" x 11" shelves from Home Depot along with 5x 3/4" square dowels that run about $3 a pop. 36" provides nice spacing between GPUs and allows moving the rigs to cold spots in the house during winter. In my case since I use 240V only PSU's, I had to install 240V outlets at each miner location, which can be a pain.
http://www.cstone.net/~dk/miner03_lr_01.JPG In the summer time, they all live on metal shelving like this, and the wooden frame miners will also slip into those shelves without issue. http://www.cstone.net/~dk/subsrearminers.JPG Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: umine on November 14, 2017, 03:09:29 PM I urgently recommend NOT use wood in your rig frame. It's cheaper than aluminium frame about 10-15 dollars but can cause a huge trouble.
Flammable materials are dangerous! Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: Jarixx on November 14, 2017, 03:18:26 PM I prefer aluminum over wood, I invest little more, but it's safer option.
Racks are ok, but it's easier to sell smaller rigs. Man can build anything that he wants, if he wants. Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: cryptocoinfarmer on November 14, 2017, 03:37:51 PM Check it out this link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Unassembled-GPU-Mining-Rig-Open-Air-Frame-Case-/222529908628
You could build something similar. There are measurements that you can use. I agree with others aluminum or metal constructions are more secure. But there are risks with metal too if you have no temperature, fan failure monitoring devices then you can end up with fire too.

Milk crate is way more heat efficient, I may rebuild the rackmount one into a larger milk crate...
Plus the smaller one is almost portable. It's running ethos and if I can get the wifi working, it can be a mobile "space heater". Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: bouldou on November 14, 2017, 10:39:02 PM I followed this tutorial, with wood, and everything went fine in my attic this summer :)

The best part is how you complain about society getting more stupid when you are the one saying the stupid shit. Go back and read what he actually wrote. Especially the part about MALFUNCTION. The point youre obviously missing is that under normal operation wood is fine BUT if a component fails wood catches fire easily and when that fire has fuel it can burn your house down. A metal frame will not catch fire if a component fails and components by themselves dont have enough material to really burn explosively. If youre using wood, plastic, cardboard(srs Ive seen a few) or any other easily flammable material to build your frames you are a moron. Its that simple. Electronics fail and when they do you dont want to have them light anything up...

Plastic, though? Depends. I have a 6gpu rig in a 4U rack case, but I also have a 4gpu rig in a milk crate. It's stupid thick, hard plastic. Is it flammable? Technically yes, but literally the whole rig would have to catch fire for it to be a concern (and I keep it on some sheet metal in a concrete basement). Now the sound dampening box for my L3, however, is built from wood. I do plan to eventually line the interior with sheet metal for this exact reason, but I'm also not shutting it off in the meantime because the risk exists, but is rather low...

I'm always looking for cheap, easy to assemble frames. Yes a metal frame would definitely be a lot safer in terms of fire hazards. You're smart and I doubt i need to explain why. With regards to pricing, the standard retail price for wood frames are much cheaper. What you can do is to DIY and build your own metal mining rig frame. There are lots of people out there who have used metal or aluminum shelves instead of making a custom mining rig frame. It will depend on what is available at your local hardware. You can always look for online guides out there on how to make mining rig shelf. Good luck. Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: mittooss on November 16, 2017, 06:31:35 AM Best is to build a rig in wood

I'm more careful than that, learn from other peoples mistakes. heat has nothing to do with it. most rigs are using 100+amps of dc which is more than enough to start a fire if somewhere were to malfunction, and yeah its real stupid that I don't use wood a friggin fire starter for crying out loud as a frame, so yeah I have no clue what I'm talking about except its clearly not me we are talking about here, its you. maybe you need to have a rig catch fire to see the real dangers of using a wooden frame, especially when you are putting not just yourself in harms way but others that possibly live there too with you, that's real smart I'm not sure why you are so adamant against people using wood for frames. Just let them all burn their houses down which means more hashing for you? ::) Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: BeerMan81 on November 17, 2017, 05:50:01 AM Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: shibob on November 17, 2017, 06:23:18 AM It looks cool BeerMan81! But is it better if you arrange these 12 GPUs in 1 column?
Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: bitfools on November 17, 2017, 06:40:27 AM U should use an open air kitchen rack, found at any restaurant supply store, these home depot storage racks don't allow any vertical ventilation?? R U crazy?
Should be wire rack, should have 50cm fans at the end of every rack, and small fans ( 12v 10cm ) in front of every two cards, These days you can buy chinese aluminum grade rigs that support 12 cards for $30, the restarurant racks that support 500LB are about $60, they will support 4 RIGS at 30 cm each tall, about 50 for each rack elevation, the restaurant racks allow adjustable setting every 4 cm Power rack with 220v circult, don't use 110v, all power supplys made in CHINA and come with 220v/110v switch, but the fans ( cmd fans are blowing right left to right on each level ) may be 110 wher you live, and your network switches too may be 110v, this is why its probably better u live in china, russia, or austrailia, only cave-men use 110v If your using windows your a loser, Real men use linux :) Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: bostonvex on November 17, 2017, 02:27:19 PM U should use an open air kitchen rack, found at any restaurant supply store, these home depot storage racks don't allow any vertical ventilation??

they are built in aluminum and allow Full customization. Can be build to accommodate from 1 to 28 cards with 15cm between cards Fan grids are optional just in case u will use them. total cost of the rig is 16 USD https://imgur.com/a/t1xeg Thanks, hopes its ok. Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: umine on November 17, 2017, 04:39:36 PM Looks good. Would like to see full install. Where will you place MoBo and PSU? And how do you plan to organize the ventilation of the rigs? 36 GPUs is great setup Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: FFI2013 on November 17, 2017, 04:49:37 PM I started with wooden frames but "graduated" into using garage shelves like this: That's a good idea I was looking at those shelves at home depot yesterday $50 not to bad and your idea for the supports are quick and easyhttps://i.imgur.com/MW1ANdi.png I added some thin, wood back supports (red lines) with holes or screws on the top so that I can quickly "hang" or remove the cards (blue) if needed. The bottom supports are to keep the cards steady. Mobo/PSU are on the slabs - you can even make them half slabs or fix them without the slabs for more airflow. Easy to make, makes it very easy to disassemble/troubleshoot rigs and the airflow is great, you can put them in front of each other so that one big fan can blow through more of them. And you can easily decide how many cards you want to put on a shelf, how much space you want between cards. Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: BeerMan81 on November 19, 2017, 10:20:27 PM We made our own dowels from $3 2x4s Looks good. Would like to see full install. Where will you place MoBo and PSU? And how do you plan to organize the ventilation of the rigs? 36 GPUs is great setup Thanks! That was just a drop in the bucket! I made a whole post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2373161.0;all Here is a pic of the first prototype frame that I built. It was not very sturdy. The two layer setup was designed around the shelves that we have (24x36 in) So, there were constraints. What is key is to consider what direction the screws need to go in. You can clearly see the placement of the GPUs around the mobo and PSUs.

Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: ramarval on December 06, 2017, 08:13:51 PM Hello guys, here i have updated pics on the new frame ive made, cost is around 15 to 16 USD.

The total cost is around $4. Below are the dimensions as requested. Feel free to check out the video too. I am starting a small series detailing how to build a rig from the beginning! My dad cut the lengths of strips at the beginning of our shed project. So the pieces of wood are not square, they are rectangular. The ideal dimensions are as follows:

Much lower risk of shorting something out using a wood frame as well. Title: Re: GPU RIG FRAME Post by: Pendrak on January 02, 2018, 11:50:58 PM High voltage electricity will use wood as insulators.

Much lower risk of shorting something out using a wood frame as well. You mean ceramic materials as isolator right? From wiki: "Large power transformer windings are still mostly insulated with paper, wood, varnish, and mineral oil; although these materials have been used for more than 100 years, they still provide a good balance of economy and adequate performance."

Spacers are not needed but yea you can always make your own spacers from some plastic tubing, easy n cost effective :P |
