Hello Bitcointalk Community, in the first place, I am happy to have discovered such a community. After a short read it was immediately clear that everyone here takes the other seriously and respected. The quality of the posts and answers stands out, which is why I decided to start here as a beginner.
Short word to me:
A young motivated media informatics student who has been working for Bitcoin, Mining and co. For several years. Interested, However, thanks to financial resources never had the opportunity to engage more deeply.
The Black Friday was used and ordered:

Others YIKESHU PCIe PCI-E 16x 8x 4x 1x Powered Riser x2 AOMAO Desktop PC Computer On and Off Switch x2
Opinion:
Why everything was ordered twice and not reduced to a miner? Quite simply for two reasons. 1. A matching power supply to power all GPUs is too expensive. 2. In the future prefer two miners to equip / expand with more GPUs.
If you have not had the desire to stop, continue reading to my questions:
Hardware:
Was something forgotten? How do the GPUs work together and are they compatible at all? CPU and power supply sufficient? Is it even profitable to mine with this hardware?
Software:
Which OS best use? Which miners use eg NiceHash Miner? How useful is a custom BIOS? If YES, a matching link is welcome (if allowed). What settings to keep fans and GPUs running as long as possible?
General questions :
Which COIN is currently the most effective at mining with this hardware? Recommendations to a public or private pool? Difficult question but maybe even suitable overclocking / undervoltage settings for maximum hashrates? What tips and tricks would you have for a beginner? What has caused you problems in the past, what should you pay attention to? The miners were scheduled to set up on the balcony weatherproof.
How dangerous can it be for the hardware?
Could cold be dangerous below 0 ° C?
Finally to the final word:
I hope I did not scare you too much with all the questions, besides, I know that much is already on the net. I've also read, but much outdated and not hardware concretized. I'm happy about every answer, even if she does not answer every question. Every criticism, every suggestion for improvement and every opinion is welcome.
