I'm kind of new to the ASIC chips so any help here would be useful; if I were to buy PCI ASIC chips, can I plug those into a standard motherboard? Also what kind of software is available for miners that use these chips? Would I need any other kind of hardware to support these chips that are abnormal to a standard GPU mining build? (Obviously, I would exclude GPU's) Can I use them essentially as GPU's?

Thanks for your time guys! -Jacob

I think its time to do some more research, you have not quite got a handle on how this works.

If you want to mine bitcoin, you DO NOT USE PC HARDWARE EVER. You cannot interface them with a PC, you cant put them on your motherboard.

ASICs come inside miners from Bitmain, Canaan, or Ebang.

If you want to mine ALT coins you can use multiple graphics cards.

There is a ton of information on all of this here on this forum. Do yourself a favor and take a few days to just read and absorb things and then maybe we can help you out.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.
