Title: 19GPU 5700XT (11) P106 (8) Mining Rig build in 2min (stock bioses)
Post by: alumar on September 24, 2020, 11:24:03 PM
Working later tonight on this - optimization/bios modding and further configuration to drive it as close to 2kw as possible. Strongly believe I can hit over 750+ MH with this build.

Curious to see where you get with this.

Also curious to know, are you doing this because it can be done or do you believe that it's better to do this way?

The reason why I ask is because I am of the mindset that more rigs with less cards, like 6-7 per rig is easier to manage than one huge rig, especially when you have a card or card(s) that are giving you grief.

I see some potential power benefits of running one huge rig versus several though and less costs overall to startup a new rig or expand an existing one but if the rig is higher maintenance long term because of its size I would see these gains being lost due to lost profits from downtime.

well if you have
a cloned os
exact same mobo
exact psu
same ram
all sitting idle

down time is fast you can get the rig back up very quickly.

I had a very stable 13 card rig all in one case.

I would love to have a big rig that was super stable.

maybe a eight card 3080 which would be over 640mhs.

OP that is some fine work there.  Ive got several of these but stop at 13 gpus because i run since 2400 watt supplies but run out of connections after the 13th gpu.

In the past ive found the H110s to be more stable for me, but my 250's were from a couple years ago.  May have to check them back out.  Thank you for sharing your progress!!

For me the biggest problem is mobility, a rig with 6-7 GPUs is a stand-alone box that can be easily moved if necessary. With 19 gpu you are looking at least for a dedicated shelf that will effectively become a "fixed rig"

Crazy rig man!
Are you going to stick with ETH mining or thinking about mining any other coin with the P106s?

I see huge temperature problem there, you shouldn't allocate cards too close like that if you don't have proper cooling solution...

I'm not the creator of this rig, but i think that of course there will be a push-pull setup with multiple fans to guarantee a decent airflow. Without push-pull GPUs will throttle after a couple of minutes.

I use box fans.

they can work.
