Have any of yall found any 4+ GPU motherboard/cpu/hd/ram combos for under $180? trying to keep to 4 GPU's more than likely, because the server 1200 watt PSU's i bought are actually only 900watt rated on 120v check out Biostar Racing GT7 and the new Z270 motherboards from Asus and MSI in fact plenty of choices 180$ and below

idiot of the day is here
I just built my first rig today and placed the motherboard on top of a conductive stainless shelf.. tried to power on for like an hour wondering what the hell is wrong with my build.. It was powering on and off at one point too... Eventually figured out and got it working but how bad is this? lol System is running fine but I am wondering if I made any damage to the board. This is like the dumbest thing ever smh

Thanks on the recommendation bud, i didnt order cpu/ram/mobo yet still looking for options in regards to those T series cpu's.. but i did order a 64gb usb drive off amazon $16.99 tonight with credit card points to try and test using its as boot drive for windows 10, my 3rd gpu rig is an old xeon dell workstation that has a 750gb 4800rpm drive i bought refurbished for $100, ima test it out on that thing since its takes ages for the hard drive to respond.. but it has been running rock solid for 2 days with 4 gtx1080ti's running off it on risers mining away... im curious if the usb drive would speed anything up on it running windows 10 or maybe even increase hashrates possibly, seriously doubt it.. but if the windows side of it works ima use that on future builds.. just thinking about it, it should work... my media pc in my bedroom hooked to my tv is a raspberry pi with sd card lol that works perfectly

Are there any burnt components or places? Power it up and you will see if it's working.

Try this: :restart Timeout /t 30 miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1cURHbxrB4xtBNaPH5xLFWE9CvPU5XQcFZ.ew --pass x --port 3333 --fee 0 --eexit 3 --log 1 --pec ping 127.0.0.1 > nul goto :restart

Does that go in the miner batch file? Also (newb question) how do I get the IP address?

Yes, Microsoft has a program called windows to USB but the USB has to be greater than 32gb

This starts the miner and also monitors it The IP address is a standard host only IP address that the program puts out for monitoring I once had a power shell script that would monitor any mining software but I can't find it anywhere

For best & cheapest result -- just use 2 planks of 2x2 wood as the base. Alternatively, if your mobo came with a strofoam-like sheet in the static bag - you can use that as base too. That sheet is allegedly made of fire/heat-resistant material -- i have a 1.5 year old Asrock-H81 mobo that is still on that sheet of foam mining 24x7. I use a wooden base meant for pots/plants from the $2 shop for all my miners -- its cheap, practical and does the job. Like xleejohnx mentioned, modern mobos have several safeguards for accidental short-circuits, like protective coating, humidifier etc. too

You do not want to auto switch . This is not the time for me to explain why as I need a lot of time to show the down sides of it.
Are you referring to Nemos re:auto switch? Please elaborate on downsides when you find time/inspiration. I thing auto-switching scenario on zpool works in general, the issues with graph sometimes not showing balances are not really issues at all because pool does record your hashes under "Balance" heading. But the big question remains: is it more profitable than mining single coin? And regarding profitability: MPH charges 0.9% fee vs 3%(?) on nicehash.

Anyone knows how much power risers draw? Also, what should be the max load for PSU I should shoot for? 85%? 90%?
