Pictures of your mining rigs!

[Jay_Pal]

since GPU mining for scrypt coins isn't bitcoin, aren't posts here about it in the wrong place? shouldn't they be posted in the altcoins section? So of course GPU mining is looked down on. it is either unprofitable or being talked about in the wrong place. (Bitcoin Snob here)

I agree that GPUs should be banished from this thread since they are no longer viable for bitcoin mining to make a profit.
Glory to ASIC!

Sorry to burst your bubble but there are distinct and valid reasons to be using GPU in 2014. Or were you trolling?

Some of these rigs people are posting images of cost over $6000, do you really think that they would go to great effort to design and construct these custom systems and not do a few calculations to prove they are viable and profitable?

He must be trolling or ignoring uses for the GPUs...
Also, this is the "Pictures of your mining rigs!" topic, not the "Pictures of your bitcoin mining rigs!".

Looks like a Juniper.. seen better days. Mine makes a nice burning smell if the memory is overclocked too much. The slip-off cooler just begs for upgrading: like this huge dell workstation CPU fan..

It's a Radeon 7770 ;p It's developed a significant coil whine recently so I think her days are numbered.

This is a 'bitcoin' section of the forum, for bitcoin mining hardware.
GPUs are no longer viable for profiting with BTC, so you are either stupid wasting money on power for your rig, OR you are mining altcoins.

get over it. these used to mine bitcoin, and already people are having a big-enough hissy fit over it to create a 'no-scrypt mining rig' thread for people like you

IMHO: that other thread is stupid. I like seeing GPU rigs regardless of what they mine. they are creative, home-made, and often finely tuned. The pictures of ASICs are just a shiny box in the corner or a half-filled USB hub (which is almost just as big a waste of money as mining bitcoins on a GPU)

Get over it guys, really. Or move over to that 'no-scrypt mining rig' thread.
Which I think I saw the other day. It was plain booooring. Every retard can buy an overpriced ASIC box and just plug it into the wall.

wrong on the ASIC being just shiny boxes. have you seen some of the ASIC setups? clean wiring, creative cooling, modified ASICs etc

and the computer that currently runs my ASIC setup also mines LTC with a 5830 that used to mine BTC back in the day. so it would fall under both categories..

This is my favorite forum thread to get my geek on. I don't discriminate on which hardware.

What temperaturs do you have there? And what PSU???

What temperaturs do you have there? And what PSU???

coldest one: 67 and hottest one: 75.

Setup:
Proc: Intel Celeron G1620
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
RAM: Corsair Dominator CMP4GX3M2C1600C7
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast TX850M
        Seasonic M12II 750W 80+ Bronze
GPU: 3x Dual-x 280x 1x Vapor-X and in a few days a Gigabyte 7970

I'll be running the Dual-X's from the 850 Corsair and the Vapor and GB from the 750W, which will also power the Mobo and risers.

I'm planning on building this in a few weeks:

It'll run 7 280x's on 3 PSU's cooled by 6 200mm fans. All arranged vertical to create a natural flow upward.
