Title: Buidling mining rig without case, need advice Post by: Charloz24 on January 29, 2014, 09:24:45 PM Would putting the motherboard on a wood plank (melamine sorry not sure if it's the correct english word) would be ok, or the motherboard is getting to hot (risk of fire?)
TIA Title: Re: Buidling mining rig without case, need advice Post by: raskul on January 29, 2014, 09:25:29 PM 1st purchase, buy lots of fans.

Other question, is it dangerous to put rig in a plastic shelve?

Other question, is it dangerous to put rig in a plastic shelve? Just make sure that it is not conductive. You do not want to inadvertently short some pins on the back of the board that might not agree.

Full-size motherboard fits fine on it.
I also got a cheap, 3 shelf adjustable wire shelf from there for $10. Easy and clean looking. Get's more airflow then a milkcrate.

Also fans, lots of strong fans to keep your cards cool. Title: Re: Buidling mining rig without case, need advice Post by: Charloz24 on January 30, 2014, 12:18:58 PM Ok thank I have some good fans!

And for wood you should know the température of combustion of your wood and the temperature of your rig... |
