Today we review the 8x GPU Riserless Motherboard for mining cryptocurrency from Octominer as we build a 8x 1070 TI GPU Mining Rig. Troy visits the Vosk Lab to build Zotac 1070 TI Mini and Amp along with EVGA 1070 TI FTw's to build a GPU Mining Rig pushing almost 4000 sols with low power consumption.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I unplugged the CPU fan and the temperature is staying around 30c with 25% load.

Hi I have octominer board and same psu as your build video - 1200w P2. I’m adding 8 p106-090 but unsure how to connect psu. In your video you say those adapters don’t work but then it shows you using the yellow cords. What else do I need to order to connect my 8 cards as I wait for my other orders?

nice review as always bro.  I have 250 complete units coming next week from them with 2200 watt ps and no cards of course.  I have spoken in great detail with the guys over there, they are extremely helpful and respond quick.

This is nice but in the reality, the gpu need a proper space to one another to freely flow the air on both side, in this kind of setup the gpu will supper the high temperature.. Just saying..

Nope the fans on front and back will keep airflow fine.  I have 100's of this type and heat is not the issue.  Making sure it's in a clean enviroment and making sure the fans are running is the main thing you need to be worried about

Agree. Running cards above 70 degrees for me is huge no no, I keep them 40-55 degrees.

Any chance you can do a cpu utilization benchmark in windows with different miners running?

i have had a lot of issues with 6 pin to 8 pin adapters but not the 6 pin to 2x 6+2 pcie adapters

you'll need some splitters probably and there's debate on whether or not thats safe fwiw I have to use them on almost all of my builds

Bullshit, just put it in a case to make air-flow system and it will be better that all that free-standing frames that are cusking dust and dirt from environment and also causes ambient temp to rise.

It depends on your setup I think there are people who benefit from both styles, I see a lot of great utility with boxed systems though plus the riserless boards are such a breeze to setup
