Ghettominers....

The things we do to keep all of our cards up and running when you perform an upgrade....  so.....

How about contributing to this thread of ghetto-fabulous GPU miner configurations.... Just think duct tape and bailing wire sort of thing

For instance, this PC has a 215w power supply, yet it houses a GTX980 and hosts a GTX960SSC as well =)  Luckily the temporary 1600w power supply was tall enough to let the PCIE riser just baaaaaarely reach.  Previously it was able to (surprisingly) host the GTX960SSC all by itself; while now the 1600w supply is supplying solely PCIE-plug power on both cards.  

I am amazed the OEM power supply didn't melt after running the 960 solid for months.



I know you guys got some juicy photos to share.....

Putting a GPU like that resting on a PSU is a fire issue.

The metal housing will short out the GPU.

Nope, its risen up by an insulator.  like .5"

Only temporary until I get some rivets and some framing material to build a rack to replace the chassis.  That pc was a "throw away" picked up from next to the trash cans.... it only had a bad HDD.

The real fire hazard was running it with the ~225w PSU powering the GTX960 and mining....  Tis why it sat outside then...
