Title: Has anyone used Hydra 2 Mining 6U cases?
Post by: Andrew_H_5 on March 28, 2018, 08:55:28 PM
Hey guys!

Has anyone used Hydra 2 Mining 6U cases? They seem alright, but I wanted options - like what are your temps, and what kind of fans did you put in, what are the pros and cons you encountered, etc.

I like Gray Matter V2 but they are too expensive, and I don't like Rosewill L4500 because they have legacy back panels that are no use to me. Open frames are a no go for me as I have pets and children at home that might poke these things.

My current PC is running 4 x MSI GTX 1070 inside a gaming case and I am looking to upgrade to 8 cards but there is just no way my gaming case can fit those.

Ideas?

Thank you,
Andy

Not familiar with those but you can also look at doing something like the octominer board and case. i'm using that setup and its been great. Here's some pics of my setup.

That is so cool! I think your GPU are side-ways? How do you mount them inside the case? I don't know of any case that fits 8 GPU side-ways...

Awesome miner you got there, makes me want to get rid of my gaming case asap.

Thanks for sharing!

Their not sideways, they plug directly into the board like any normal motherboard would, your just not using risers.
