Title: [PICTURES] Let's see your scrypt miners
Post by: iGotSpots on June 27, 2013, 02:49:58 AM
Just finished building two new rigs today in the same case, going to upload some pics in a little bit, but in the meantime, show us what you're mining your altcoins with!

Here's some pictures. Ran out of PCI-E cables for the last two cards, going to get them in tomorrow morning.  The first one is running between 2 and 2.5 mHash, I expect the other to do the same. I have room to add 2 more to each board, for a total of 6 per motherboard. Gigabyte 7950's. Used some large nuts for the main frame structure, and used rivets for the support beam and to increase the integrity of the entire thing. Going to screw in all the GPU's and motherboards tomorrow

Sitting in our new retail store. We are still accepting altcoins as payment  :)

^ A 1200W PSU isn't going to support 6 7950's unless you undervolt a lot.

Yea, I had only planned on running 4 per machine originally. These motherboards seem to shut off all the x1 ports when I put cards into all 3 x16's, so I think 5 would be the total I can easily add without having to totally screw with settings

They have 3 x16's and 3 x1's total

5 is really pushing it.

My 7950 runs at about 250-280W OC'd.

You'd still have to undervolt to fit it all on a 1200W PSU.

Looks like I'm stuck with 4 for now then lol we have 6 GPU's waiting for mobos to get here for the next builds, I was going to try and stick them in these until the shipment got here, but you have convinced me to leave them alone

lol I would just use 2 PSU's if you only have two mobo's to work with.

Otherwise I'd just buy another mobo for the rest of the cards.

Wouldn't want to destroy any GPU's because the PSU can't handle the watt consumption :P
