Not really it only supoort 2 GPU's and CPU is too power hungry and powerful.  Besdies you will need new PSU for minning with 2 gpus. Is this rig given to you for free?

Hi Zombijs,

Thank you for your reply,

It is around 100 US$.

Can you please suggest the machine that would support more than 2 GPUs.

I know it's an old topic, but when you try to google T3500, we always find this post in first result place. SO.
You can put 3 graphics cards in a T3500 computer.
I have actually 2 T3500 with 3 cards:
- First one: 2*1060 and 1070 : 560watts
- Second: 3* 970

But you have to change the PSU or put an other PSU for 2 graphics cards. The T3500 power supply could only take one graphics cards safely. And you need more pcie power plugs, for graphics card power and risers.
So i keep the T3500 PSU for risers and add an other PSU for graphics cards power.

I try with 4 and 5 graphics cards (with a duplicate pcie card) but no result. May be more patient next time...

I use the blue pcie 16x slot and the 2 pcie slot 1x.

Works fine since 1 month.


EDIT: 4 graphics cards for this computer. With patient... Just a power issue... I don't try more than 4.
