Title: Max # Cards for Scrypt Milk Crate Rig? Post by: nightengale on July 23, 2013, 08:12:03 PM Just curious how many cards people have managed to fit into a milk crate style rig?
Title: Re: Max # Cards for Scrypt Milk Crate Rig? Post by: crazyates on July 23, 2013, 08:41:35 PM As many as your MB will work with? I've seen as few as 3, and as many as 6. 4 seems to be a good number, tho.

With risers its really all up to your MB. A milk crate is enough room to spread a decent amount apart. Title: Re: Max # Cards for Scrypt Milk Crate Rig?

Post by: CoinHoarder on July 26, 2013, 06:37:55 AM I'm not sure where the picture is, but I've seen someone that crammed 8 GPUs, 2 motherboards and two 1200w PSUs in one milk crate.
Although I think the GPUs were sticking out the top, so you wouldn't be able to stack them. Title: Re: Max # Cards for Scrypt Milk Crate Rig? Post by: BitcoinNerd on July 26, 2013, 11:25:42 AM What you see in my previous posts are as good as it gets with a milk crate. The cards in there have dual GPUS. The maximum windows can handle is 8 GPU cores.

Post by: transcoder on July 26, 2013, 02:55:38 PM From my experience, a typical file crate like this one at Office Max (http://www.officemax.com/office-supplies/file-storage-boxes/product-prod3790633) can hold 5 GPUs, although air flow becomes a problem with that many since they are crammed so tight together. I think the ideal number is 4. It still gets hot, but as long as you have a box fan blowing air in between the GPUs, you should be good.
