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

4gpus on the mobo is no problem as long as long as the GPUS dont have backplates or else they wont fit

stability wise they work wonders, just ask phill

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

I shared to show everyone on a new project I was working on, very very early stages at the moment anything could change. I am asking for feedback at this stage to see what people think, cheers

Hello Guys,

I've been lurking on the forum for some time and just bumped into this.... this thread is a gem in itself!

Rather a newbie miner, I just finished my 2nd rig, but I can tell you - the passion got me - the setup, the trials, the errors, the discoveries and tweaking really got under my skin.

@Yun9999, your little "cottage style" farm and your journey really made me think to dare going big, and get some proper investments in mining. I'm still hesitating to start, as there are so many preparations and things to take into account.

But with such awesome inspiration here, I feel good vibes for the future! 

Smooth mining and good luck with your clean&sexxy new projects!

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg!!!

SORRY NO UPDATES.  I will just look at my screen on ETH and ZEC income prices for a few hours until my eyes get tired.

[CryptoWatcher420]

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.

they are available now, check ebay and amazon lol,i just ordered one myself just yesterday along with a server psu and breakout board either from amazon or ebay, the pico I got for like 20 dollars, does min 160w, def more than I need but just In cause since im running a dual core Pentium cpu on the rig its going on, if it was running the Celeron cpu I would have gotten a lower wattage pico psu. gotta keep up with stuff man! you are lagging behind a bit lol

A strong rally maybe it goes to 50 usd for eth.

Btc went from 90 sept 2013 to 1100 dec 2013.

If eth goes from 9 to 110. By May 1 it would be really sweet.

I am so glad.... that the SRR kept every rig alive solid these past weeks.

For those Baikals... its a miracle.... I dont know what to say.

Phil, was the euphoria like this during the Litecoins days?

be careful, not all will work well, there's some who tried getting those el-cheapo ones & got into trouble, it blew up & mobo was dead too.

yes  ltc had its run  which I grabbed a bit late  and got killed  due to gridseed blades and Josh of gaw-zen mining.

btc had the first  big run up    90 to 1100 in under 3 months.  ltc got close to 55 bucks    and was flooded with asics and off the blockchain mining from gaw-zen miners (huge ponzi).   

But this run  of alts  may be very solid.

time and time again 

Intel
AMD
Nividia
Corsair
SeaSonic
EVGA
ANTEC
FSP
Asus
MSI
XFX
DiamondMultiMedia
VisionTek
Asrock
Biostar
Gigabyte
Thermaltake
Rosewill
Newegg
MircoCenter

all stand to benfit  from strong  alt coins.

Zec has a small market cap  under 45 million

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zcash/


So to keep it at its current price of 47 dollars is not too hard to do. As all of those companies above can buy some coins to do just that.

ETH  HOLDS THE POS over the heads of asic builders to protect them from asics.

I see good things ahead.  But  China, Russia, USA  can fuck it all up  by outlawing  coins.  So as always  send some coins to the cash of your choice.

Cheap things not good, Good things not Cheap

[yun9999]

Best to look for Good things at cheap prices.  Problem solved.  Got 5 more EVGA from a local miner used for $100 in prestine conditions.   Had such great conversations, he threw in a 6th one free for all the good advice I gave him.  He was a big Bitcoin miner that is going to be heading toward GPU mining.  

The GPU buying frenzy have begun.  H81 was sold out fast Biostar TB85 limited to 1 per customer and as I was slow to finish the order, someone took it from me and it is now out of stock on Newegg.com.  This high price is good, but it's going to create a very fast frenzy............so be careful as difficult will rise super fast.  The only protection we'll have is if price stay high.   The high price is masking the 200TH and quickly rising Diff.

FRENZY is an understatement... 

All my rigs full speed.

All development rigs are also mining - All development work stopped.

NOW: Primary goal for farm is 100% UPTIME.

How did the MSI GAMING carbon 1151 turn out? Does it support 6-7 GPUs like your other MSI boards?

Trying to get into Dash Mining....Not Successful......Still Mining ETH(to the moon) and BTC.

Building more rigs!

Me and my group were lucky to catch Baikal at normal pricing last year - the farm is about 25GHs now.

X11 miners are sold out, especially Baikals. Some used units on open market are selling at high premiums.

GPU rigs mining X11 is such a waste -- putting them to good use in ETH mining is more profitable.

Its boom time charlie to GPU mine ETH and ZEC (and BTC of course, even an old S7 will make some profits).

Here is the STep by Step for MSI Pro Carbon but I found it to be your YMMV.  It didn't work for me.  If I enable 4GB part, it won't boot up to Windows.  I only see black screen.  Max I got working is 4 GPU and 4 Plus 1 with a Exclaimation.    Too busy rushing to bring GPU online to investigate further.  ETH just too hot!!!

I expect the hash rate to double in the next few months on eth , everyone and thier mama is trying to mine it now lol
