Title: Can I setup a few GPUs in order to mine?
Post by: Sejio on October 26, 2017, 09:26:27 AM
I don't want to become rich nor get a big profit. Just wondering if I could buy a few second-hand GPUs and setup them in order to get a decent income in mining. I don't want to mine BTC, I guess farms get everything so I was thinking about mining Monero.
I made a little research  and I know I need the GPUs, PCle x16 in order to install the GPUs and then the power source. What I couldn't find was information about how to make all of them work simultaneously.
So I was wondering if some of you have experience with this or could lend a hand by giving information sources about this.

Start by asking in the ALTCOIN  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0)areas as you posted in the BTC only one.

if your hardware has been ready. you can post in this a section forum. such motherboard, SSD, PSU, and GPUs. then if you have a problem when setting you RIG, I'm sure the good member will help your problem.

I suggest you to read more topics from this board Mining (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0).

But since you wanted to start right after, for a newbie, start with NiceHash (https://www.nicehash.com/).
They even support rigs with one Supported GPU like GTX560ti (if you're tight in budget), ofcourse, the stronger the better.
Go to their profitability calculator (https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator) to look for the supported devices.

Once you learned more, you can use the rig for pool mining.

A little could be not enough, this is the information on how to make them work simultaneously

Learn from the mining Guru, Almost all regarding GPU mining has been covered. of course it doesn't mean you will copy what they did, you can have your own requirements, like instead of using server PSU a replacement but decent ATX PSU will do.

Happy Reading! ;)

Offcourse You can. But all mining capable and profitable graphic cards are overpriced right now. Old or new doesn't matter.

People can give only simple advice no one will give in-depth knowledge. you have to do more research and learn by yourself.

Second's GUP's how it will perform I don't have any idea but you can try if you get all equipment at a cheap rate and it required more electricity you have to take care of this.

if you find any issues in software or hardware just post your query people can answer your queries.
