and we see a kind Canadian again XD loved the video. I think I really loved the way you built that holding tower with wood, it's such a sight to look at.

[@DaniTalksTech]

Thank you Captain Rocky! I found out that a wood frame is a great alternative for anyone who doesn't want to pay an arm and a leg for a mining frame these days. It cost me a fraction and took me 30 minutes to build.

[@SavageMine]

Cool stuff, man! I have lots of HiveOS videos including BIOS Modding on my channel. Like others have said, that outside GPU is cooler because of its location and pulling cooler air from outside the rig while others are pulling warmer air from the GPU next to it. Love the build!

[@DaniTalksTech]

Your channel is super cool man. I think I might have watched the EIP conference call on yours a couple of days ago. Maybe I'm not 100% sure! Either way man. Thanks for the great content!

Love this video, really hoping that (although I'm late to the party) I can soon end up dabbling myself. Rare thing when you can find a project which ultimately pays for itself

Hi Miguel, I use OverdriveNtool for AMD and MSI Afterburner for Nvidea. No issues with both, but it does take a bit of tweaking to figure out stable settings.

[@purplehead7473]

Hi mate do you use Pcie_Pwr1 for more than 4 gpu ? If yes which cable do you use. Cheers

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hey Purple Head. Yeah I did power the pcie on the motherboard. I used an 8 pin pcie power cable from the PSU. I think you only need 6 pins in the motherboard.

[@all_my_circuits599]

Hello, a question: If I modify a profile by raising eg. the speed of the fans, every time I turn off the pc it does not resume the changes but I always have to load the previously saved profile manually. Is there any way to make him save it somehow?

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi All_My_Circuits, unfortunately I am not aware if that is possible in Windows. I too have to adjust the settings if I ever reboot. ideally, you should get it to point where you never have to reboot it.

[@tavo.simracing]

what size screws did you use to go into the motherboard?

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi GGradilla, I used 8 x 1. The link for those from homedepot is here: www.homedepot.ca/product/paulin--8-x-3-4-inch-flat-head-square-drive-wood-screws-zinc-plated-26pcs/1000119115 One thing to be mindful of is being very careful when you're putting in the screws so that you don't bend/break the motherboard. I also added a rubber spacer between the motherboard and the wood to elevate it a bit.

Hi DaniW. Thanks for making and sharing this video. I think the first gpu is coolest and others are warmer as the first gpu is pulling air thru it pushing the hot air backwards. Well it looks like thats whats happening. I hope all goes well for you. Cheers.

[@DaniTalksTech]

Thank you for the heads up Paul. Yes, since I made the video, I added a couple of fans to direct the air better. Little improvements made a big difference. Thank you for watching :)

[@balochcode]

Hi Dani, I am building my first mining rig and I got MSI Z390-A PRO LGA1151 - motherboard and 3 Gpus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 FE, EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC, and ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3060 You mentioned in your video about Risers but I am not sure which one I used get for my gpus, can you recommend risers?

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi Balochcode. One major thing to note here is that 3060s won't hash fully when using risers. There is a limitation that NVIDIA put on them and the only way to go around that is with a certain method. You can see my video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYiQqamNgapqmMU As for the risers, I got mine from gpurisers.com you can also get them from amazon.

[@wadelodge33]

Great video! I'm just getting started myself and found this video to be very helpful! One question is what are you using for spacers to mount the motherboard to the wood?

[@DaniTalksTech]

I went to home Depot and got a thin plastic tubing (one that's used for AC units). I cut it into small pieces and use that as a spacer. It works perfectly!

[@kireyeve3767]

[@DaniTalksTech]

Keep at it Koyla. The 5700xt are efficient cards!

[@giuseppebriscese217]

I really appreciate your video, I will shortly assemble my first rig and follow your instructions carefully : clear, complete, short and from begin to end! Only one observation, may be someone already wrote on this theme : i think the right card is the coldest and the left card the hottest only because the right one breathes free air and can blow cold air on the card. The others, with each step you take to the left, breathe heated air from the board to their right, and therefore become progressively warmer. It may be appropriate to review the positioning of the gpu cards, I speak in general and not strictly about your rig, taking into account that each one should have fresh air and not heated by the one next to it. For example by placing them horizontally side by side or, returning to the vertical case, building a guide for each fan that helps the fan itself to draw fresh air from outside the array. Better still it would be to feed this guide with an external fan placed at 90 degrees with respect to the directions of the gpu cards.

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi Giuseppe, thank you very much for your kind comment and for watching my videos. I appreciate it a lot! Good luck with building your first rig. In regards to the temperatures of the GPUs, I have since then been able to manually manipulate the fan speed to maintain a cool consistent temperature on each. As you already mentioned, the positioning also makes a big difference. I set up my fan speed at 70% at the coldest end and progressively increased it to 85 at the warmest end. This kept all the cards cool and under 60C or 55C.

Hi Zeid, I'm not sure what you mean by the metal caps? Can you explain please. As for HiveOS vs Windows, I agree, I think it's much better. However I was able to get the cards way more stable and more power efficient on Windows. I will try HiveOS again very soon. Much love man!

[@HHHorea]

hey man :) for a 6800xt that's doing 62mhs, if i keep it at 30%fans and 40degrees temperature, is this an ok setup for a long life of the gpu? thanks

[@PC-ju6pp]

Who knows? Check memory junction temperature using HwInfo. I've increased fan speed to about 1350 rpm after seeing 44C gpu but 75C on memory on 6800 (non xt). This keeps mem temp at 72C. I'd love some experienced people comment on the life of GPU fan. Should we keep them as low as possible and let memory heat up to 85C in the summer?

[@DaniTalksTech]

I would love some information about this as well. I have a 6800XT running in my main PC and I'm always uncertain about how mining on it is affecting it. Mind you that I don't overclock and undervolt it. I run that one at stock settings.

Hello, I don't have a video about the settings, but in short, I enabled 4G decoding, Changed PCIE speeds to Gen2, Changed Windows OS configuration from CSM to UEFI and I made sure that my PCIE lanes are powered directly through the PCI power on the motherboard. You'll find it next to the CPU.

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi Bruno, those black elevators that I used actually came with my monitors. I never used them for the monitor and ended up using them here. However, if you're looking to elevate your motherboard, which I think you should, then consider using a rubber spacer like this: www.homedepot.ca/product/canada-tubing-polythylene-tubing-3-16-inch-inside-diameter-x-5-16-inch-outside-diameter-x-10-ft-coil/1001002303

Change Windows OS configuration from CSM to UEFI. I also had to play a lot with the sequence of putting in the cards. I started out with PCIE1 and went chronologically to 6.

For example, just like what Nightcore said, an RX580 should be around $180 USD to $220 USD depending on where you are. But some people are selling it for double. Find good deals online.

Excellent video man , just what i needed , also , after having your rig , would you recommend it today?

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi AnotherOneMZ, it depends on what your goals are. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who thinks this is an easy way to get rich, because it's definitely not. The profitability in the last couple of weeks skyrocketed then fell down hard. They are still better than 6 months ago, but still you have to keep that in mind. So, if you are able to get reasonably priced msrp or less cards, and you have cash that isn't needed anytime soon, it would be a good idea to set up a mining rig. Also, keep in mind your electricity costs. That affects it big time!

Bro if you dont mind can you tell how mucho $ you making per day with 1 gpu ? And wich criptocurrency your mining? also if you can tell if it is worth because the main problem of mining is the electricity consumption. Great video btw so clean, i will recommend you putting more space between the gpus so there is a better air flow.

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi MaxLife, Thank you for your support man. In regards to your question about $ per day, it's very tough to answer that question accurately because that number fluctuated big time depending on many reasons (difficulty, competition for mining, price of the coin). I am personally mining ethereum at the moment and at the time of filming this video, each GPU was making around 3.5 USD per day. Since then it dropped significantly to around $2.2 or so. So it's quite tough to predict that. Also, in July, it is expected that profitability will decrease further. The best way to estimate profitability is to go to Nicehash at: www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator

Hi Haziz, the things that worked out for me were: Changing PCIE lane speed to Gen2, Enable 4G Decoding, and powering the PCIE input on the motherboard from the power supply.

[@dl6433]

Nice video I just got that same exact motherboard recommended by red panda mining .. will also be using your vid to help me build as well.. are you planning on adding more than 4 gpus to this rigg ? I did read many had to edit the bios to get it working so I hope it works

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi Thinh. Yes I actually have 7 GPUs on that mobo now. I had to do LOTs of troubleshooting in the bios to make it work.

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi Big Hit. At this point these cards are out of stock everywhere.

[@obadiahoickle8972]

How many kwh does that rig use. You might have said it in the video and I just missed it but I’m trying to figure out the electricity cost for where I live

[@DaniTalksTech]

Hi Obadiah, I have since then added 2 additional cards and I am consuming around 800w at the wall. For 24 hours operation, that would be around 19 KWH per day.

[@obadiahoickle8972]

Thanks Dani, for my estimations (which should always be a little higher to consider mistakes) does 3.5kwh per gpu sound reasonable? I love in Nova Scotia and cost for electricity is $0.16/kWh which would mean only $3.36 in electricity costs for 6 gpus. That seems a little low does it not? Or are your costs also in that price range.

[@therealtradith]

@@DaniTalksTech Interested as well.

[@DaniTalksTech]

@@obadiahoickle8972 sorry I missed this comment. So if you undervolt and overclock the GPUs, each should consume 80W (assuming it's an rx580), 6 of them would consume 480W. Add in the CPU, mobo and other items. Let's say you hit 700W or 0.7kW. Your daily consumption of electricity would be 0.7x24 = 16.8kwh in a day. Multiply that by the rate and you'll get your daily electricity cost. At 0.16/kwh, you're looking at $2.6 per day.

[@Theninjagecko]

Aren’t those pcie to sata power cables a fire hazard?

[@DaniTalksTech]

I am uncertain if they are a fire hazard. Many other miners have used them for low power cards. However, if you are connecting high powered cards, you should use pcie cables. I bought pcie splitters and extenders and I plan to change all the sata ones to pcie.

[@adityavarma2138]

6 pin pcie power slot just beside 16x pcie slot on MB, is really needed to connect with PCI power cable?? I suspect we can leave it without connecting, as we are connecting PCIe riser with 6pin pcie power cable connector.. What's your suggestion bro?

[@DaniTalksTech]

You could try without doing it. My suggestion is that it's better to do it since I have noticed that I get better stability with it connected. Now I don't know for sure if it makes that much of a difference, but I have found that connecting it is better.

[@DaniTalksTech]

@@adityavarma2138 Thanks for letting me know Aditya. I think the 1200W won't be sufficient for those cards. For start, each 3080 will consume around 250W (after undervolting) and the 3070 will each consume at least 130W (after undervolting). You're already beyond that PSU capacity. I highly recommend either getting a way bigger PSU or running a dual PSU set up. I don't think your current PSU set up is sufficient. As I write this, i notice that you wrote 2 x 1200W, so ignore what i just said above...you're doing the right thing :)

is wood frame not risk with fire hazard? I know wood is better than metal since its not conducting heat, metal can. Aluminum bar sounds good.

[@MoslemPerspective]

Buy bigger PSU, it doesn't hv enough power. Basically you can only use 80% of you PSU capacity ea 750watt, you can only utilize 750 * 0,8 = 600 W. Each GPU use abt 180W at peak. That not counting the system which consumed abt 100W to 150W depending on your processor power rating. My suggestion is use at least 1000W PSU for your config.

[@DaniTalksTech]

@@MoslemPerspective While wattage is something to keep in mind, I don't think this is the issue there. With his specs, the psu should power on close to 100%. It's not recommended to do, but it would work. I do think it's a mobo issue with it not being able to recognize more than 2 GPUs.

[@DaniTalksTech]

Vinit, have you played around with the bios settings? Make sure you enable above 4G decoding in your bios if you have that setting. Also, try to change the PCIE speed to Gen2. See if that helps.

Hi Wes. You need to find pins on the motherboard that are called JFP1. Look at it in the manual and find it on the board. Then using a screwdriver, tough the positive and negative of the power pins.
