@yun9999 why the use of so much wood for frames, you know angled aluminum is much more sexy to use compared to tacky ol wood, ill have to show you my open air frame, its a bit on the large size but most of that is cause the gpu's have 3 inches of space between each gpu, gpus run @ 74 degrees C with between 40 to 50 percent fan speed

Ahah yeah you definitly need another house, woah you must make quite a bit for that hashing power not making as much as your work, i can understand where the means to keep with your hobbies are coming from ahah, keep up the good work friend

hmmmm.... http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-580-570-launch-delay-rumor/

580/570 is just a reband. So there is no effect due to the delay. We can buy the 480 or 470.

@ bughatti :

You have problems with this card? You can not put 7 gpu?

@ysylung - Yeah this is just 1 of the many prototypes.  Have to keep modifying as I go for different solutions / needs.

@cryptowatcher = Why wood?  It's cheap, cost me less than $6 per rig.  I can modify it quickly, I can spray paint it quickly, I can make 20 rigs cuts in no time.  Each designs go thru many different iterations.  Even if it's off by a fraction of an inch, it may not work.  Same reason why they use Clay to model cars before wasting money on Metal and Aluminum as you have to constantly modify as you go.  

I don't think it's tacky at all.  As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even mind this being my final solution.  My 12 year old daughter did a great job with the spray painting.  Aluminum is harder to cut unless you get cheap thin aluminum which won't be great for support.  It's also definitely not cheap.   When I'm happy with my final designs and it's no longer call a prototype, then "meaby" it may make sense then.  I love talking like Tytanick.  Haha

@ m1n1ngP4d4w4n - That came out the wrong way.  I meant the amount of hrs I spent on mining,  If I calculate that on an hourly pay...........it's still very low.  So it went from below MacDonald average to shift lead.   We will need to make sure this rally last, otherwise the increase is just a mirage.


Since I have extra LGA 1151 CPU and DDR 4 memory.  I also ordered this Motherboard used to play last night.  

MSI Enthuastic Gaming Intel Z170A LGA 1151.  So sexy looking and for $100 used for a $179.99, why not.  Will test to see if it can handle 7 GPU.    Collecting all the different MSI Gaming MBs as I find them cheap to build my Sexy rigs.

[CryptoWatcher420]

lol angled aluminum is not hard to cut if one has the right tools lol, saying aluminum is hard to cut is like saying rig building is way way too hard to do, which it isn't. dunno what kinda stuff you tried to cut or use. but it works wonderful, stuff I get from the local hardware store holds up gpu's all the same. btw your wood rig frame looks better without the silvery paint, that does make it look tacky and cheap and not in a good way

[mojoxc]

hmmmm.... http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-580-570-launch-delay-rumor/

Definitely a launch announcement delay from my sources as well, getting ready to phase out the 470 with some minor updates on the 570.

Ah i get what you mean ! yeah for sure all your current projects & side projects sure must be very time consumming, but it's fun isn't it ?   ALL FOR THE SEXYNESS 

[Tasty Potato]

@yun9999 You being Tier 3 miner (big and scaled), I'd like to ask at what moment or capacity have you started to mine 'ganz solo'?

And if I may suggest to write your thoughts on when to mine solo and what coins, as a sort of a guide and stick it to the 1st post or link it. Others welcome to share their experience as well 

[emdje]

Love the silver spray paint

very interesting design, but to be honest for 20 gpu's by the looks of it their is no risers so that's what 4 gpu's at best per mobo, that's a horrible waste of power using atx psu as you show in the design, now if you were using say one of those ibm 4kw server psu setup's that would be legit, but that's not economical with as many psu's, your better off with one high wattage and high efficiency psu like the setup nhan has with those ibm psu setup they power 4 to 5 rigs easy and better efficiency, love the design though especially the pull out part that's pretty neat, just change those atx psu's with one or 2 high wattage/efficiency server psu's and that would be a badass setup right there. one thing ive learned by keeping up with nhan's thread here on bitcointalk is that server psu's are the way to go now that pico's are here and cheap enough along with being able to pick up a server grade psu and breakout board vs an atx psu especially with those that are using risers. though I have ask why did you post that here if only to advertise your frame? and not actually contribute to the thread

yeah, mobos with server psu/pico adapter and 4+ cards would almost certainly to use need powered risers, and not be able to be plugged straight into the mobo.

when no risers are used the card would draw power from the mobo pcie socket which is powered by the pico. worse case is 75 w per pcie slot. with 4 cards thats 300 watts. plus say 75 for mobo/cpu/drive/ram that is 375 watts worse case for the pico to supply. biggest pico ive seen is 250 watts, and i dont know if thats continuous.

maybe they have more powerful ones? dunno

[deadsix]

@ deadsix - If you can return the MB, do so.  This MB is a pain in the a$$ and BIOSTAR support sucks.  I've only tried 4 MB out of my 15 and issues I've seen is enough for me to smash them.   For Mining the Biostar TB85 is good.  Cheap, no fuss and everything is fully detected by Windows / SimpleOS, no network driver or anything needed.  There's money left over to buy sexy LEDs to wrap around it.  =)

regarding the biostar yes, tb85 has almost 0 to none issues, perfect bang for buck mining mobo. i'll be getting a batch of tb250 lga 1151, in abt 3 weeks or so. i might get few for myself to try it out, rest are for custom rig orders.


happy mining.

Hey guys, wanted to ask you both, have you tried running the TB85 board headless with RX470/480 cards? Is it free of the issues that the Asrock H81 ProBTC V2 have like not booting with onboard vga turned off, or unability to change clocks/fanspeed etc with onboard vga turned on?

[Mister305]

Would the least expensive CPU you can find work well enough to run these rigs?

[yun9999]

@ mojoxc - Yeah, this means our RX470/480 will still have long shelf life / value.

@ m1n1ngP4d4w4n - Yes, I love mining.  It's the love and passion for it that allows me to work the insane hours and constantly tinkering.   I'm out of expansion space so I must find somewhere else to grow next.  =(

@ Tasty Potato - I'm not sure.  Even when mining solo, I'm mining it on a Pool which is Ethpool.  With the current difficulties so high on most coins that matter, I'm not sure if it's worth it for solo mining.  At current high coin prices, it's also just better to be on a good pool and not have to worry.

@ emdje - Thanks I like it.  My daughter paint it GOLD as well but that turned out weird.  I like the Silver.

@ bittawm - Cool design  as this is similar to 2 of the design prototype I have in mind but I can't find decent shelving.  I don't want to use WOOD for this design because it would be more enclosed like Server case.  

My prototype Instead of pulling the drawer the side that you have, I went for the longer length side in your picture as that's where I can put fans in front of it for pulling or rear for pushing.   I only put SSD in my drawing as regular BIG HDD no longer make sense for mining and it's a big waste of space / block air.  Since the GPU already take x amount of height, I have the PSU sitting sideways to leave more room on the shelf.  That is my direct 4MB design for the Racking 7.  

For the 7 GPU design one, it's similar idea but I plan to make the GPU stand to let the GPU risers sit on ton the shelf rather than directly plug into the Motherboard like the 4 GPU design.   Just imagine the layout similar to the Rosewill but you can move the MB closer in.  Both sides will be raised similar to a cabinet drawer to create a vacuum space so I can push heat out in only direction.  This design allow for faster and easier serviceability then the Rosewill.  Try drawing that out and you will get what I'm saying.

@ CryptoWatcher420 - There is never a one size fit all solution.  ATX still have it's place in many of the designs including bittawm as many people have 750 or 850W PSU that can support 4 GPUs.  I have 8 extra Platinum Corsair 850i, so a 4 GPU design with no risers would be good to leverage those surplus. You won't be able to use PICOs for a 4 GPU direct plug into the board as it won't have sufficient power to power the PCIE, otherwise it would be a killer solution to go with the 4KW.    Also PCI risers with PICO and server PSU are not 100% perfect, they have their pro and cons vs baby PSU with server PSUs and against ATX only, etc.  I will highlight these Pros and cons as I roll out the different designs but I wouldn't get rid of the ATX anytime soon.  As a matter of fact I just ordered 10 more EVGAs along with more 4KW PSUs.

@ vapourminer - You are spot on.  Originally I was planning on using Racing 7 as direct 4 GPU configs all Pico/Server PSU powered until I realized that it won't have enough power to handle 4 GPU even RX470s for the PCIE part.  Even the 300W picos won't be sufficient as their efficiency are usually very poor so it's best to assume 75% efficiency.    This is why my 4 GPU design similar to bittawn is ATX only but still very compact.

@ deadsix - Yes - No emulator requires.  It will boot just like the MSI Gaming 5.  I hated the H81 for that reason but everything else about it is Awesome including RMA that usually takes less than 2 weeks from the time I send it out to getting replacements.  I'm not sure how good Biostar RMA is but their support suck very bad.  Most of the tech I work with have poor skill set and instead of trying to help you fix the issue, they just recommend RMA.  The TB85 is a fantastic Plug and play board.

@ Mister305 - Celeron is all you need and 4GB RAM (16GB set via virtual, SSD is very fast, no latency like spinning drives).  Don't listen to others who recommend more.  You won't get the bang out of the buck for anything more.  Invest that $$ into HASH via more GPUs instead.  You can always slap more sticks in the future when it's required.  Check out simplemining.net.  You can use a 8GB USB flash drive for the OS and save yourself $40-50 on SSD on top.

[adorid]

For simplemining OS you can buy cheap ssd from aliexpress, its much faster than usb and price is around the same, 16gb ssd price is 12$, for 8gb around 8$.

I keep hearing picos are here and all but i don't see any full pico setups just test setups , if the guy wants to start mining now , I'd advise him to get started and upgrade to picos or whatever when the are actually out there and easily purchasable

gotta work with what is available to you NOW.
