How to Build your First CryptoCurrency Mining Rig | Step by Step Beginners Guide - Part 2

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

What did your First GPU Mining Rig Look Like for Parts? Any Shoe Racks? Milk Crate? or Hanging GPU Setups? If you haven't built your first GPU Mining Rig yet, what are your plans?

[@paladdin1500]

First official rig was a messy custom aluminum frame with wrong measurements 😂. Shoe rack, hanging gpus but no milk crate for me :)) I’m lactose intolerant 😂

[@MrCDub]

I was lucky enough to have mine given to me from a friend built from spare parts... It got me suckered in and now I am too hooked to look back!

[@gamingwithsmokeydan]

I have the same style frame which came from Jersey USA to me here in the UK England, have it sat in a small grow tent with 140mm fan as an intake through a multi mesh filter, have 3 120mm fans cooling the 3 cards I have on the frame with a high powered 120mm fan pushing the hot air to the vent where two extractors are pulling the air out. Cards are 2060 12Gb and will add a forth to finish this rig as have a 1660 in the case above also mining plus allows me to still watching video's at not much of a loss in hash rate.

[@magiclucky5152]

All of the above (shoe rack, milk crate and wire rack w/ hangers). I'm all about the shoestring budget, at the very least, until I breakeven. "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."

[@ultimafreak]

that gpu have a 8 pin tho you say 6 pin @ 4:20 mark love the videos keep em comming :)

[@darkmanz5]

Thanks a lot for these videos. Yesterday i bought a p104-100. Will be using all other parts from my brother's old gaming pc, only thing left is to buy a frame and volt meter. So excited!

[@cbj3653]

will a AsRock z97 SLI LGA1151 work?

[@ilangsaio601]

Hi, I have watched the video, and I guess I have missed few parts: 1. Didn't see where you installed the switch on the side - and what its for? I assume just the power switch of the motherboard. 2. You have throw away the cable for the GPU, but if I want to use it to connect to external 12V power - I guess its will be OK? (e.g. from solar panel) 3. I have missed what was loaded in the USB, what SW? and how did you load the mining SW - can you please add more info on that? 4. Thanks in advance

[@jminnee]

I have build this rig. Using the same GPU, a GIGABYTE B550 DS3H Super mobo, 16GB memory, AMD Ryzen 5 4500 CPU, 750W BQ Bronze power supply. Works like a charm. And it is very very silent. I can hardly hear the fans.

Set the fan to the amount needed to keep your fan cool enough.for some cards I have that run really hot I don't hesitate to keep it at 100% fan speed.The fan are cheap and easy to Replace.

Was super interested, then realised 😅it’ll take you 500 days to pay off the rig 😢

[@SuperheroDeepDive]

Can you link multiple small gpu's to equate to a big gpu? Like, I have a couple of 1gb gpu's, and would love to link them and add bigger ones to mine more

[@thewolfgaming4874]

question what if i live in an apartment where i only pay rent would i just put 0 in the $/kwh section

[@alilsminer479]

I have to say, you are the most professional blogger on KZbin Looking forward to your video in 2 weeks

[@faverdod5773]

Do future GPU’s need to be the same? Or can you mix and match Nvidia and Radeon as well as models of cards?

[@MegaDevify]

You can mix and match, however best results will be with a set of the same cards usually

[@AwesomeLand123]

I totally missed where the power button came in. What part does that come with? the power supply? or did you have to buy that separately since you aren't using a pc case? did it come with the rig case?

[@aleckyle2614]

If I wanted to have more than one gpu and better hard river. What parts would I replace and what hard drive?

[@jbirdjenkins420]

@The Hobbyist Miner i wish you would show what to do during boot up. my rig just has a black screen and i dont know how to fix it. this is my first time building anything like this.

[@domore4381]

I have Asus H81m cs motherboard, 4gb ddr3 ram and i5 4440 cpu, n plannin to buy 2×850w psu *My query is if this mobo could fit 5/6 gpu rtx3070ti?

[@HitthemonWatapp]

❤️❤️💝❤️💝

[@vincient005]

Could you per chance give me a link to the extension cable you purchased…?

[@alpinezach]

Wouldn't you suggest testing the setup without the GPU first to make sure we can boot up and get the CPU identified etc and troubleshoot if needed?

[@RonaldReagan1986]

Did I miss a step. Attaching cpu to motherboard. Not step by step. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@thingswithlloyd4581]

Why waste your time and money with the riser when you could run it straight off the motherboard? and also still add a further 2 GPUs later. My first intro into mining was an ASUS ROG STRIC Gaming B550 with a single Tuf Gaming 1660Ti which then quickly turned into 2x 1660Tis and then a 3rd 1660Ti on Nicehash 88.56Mh/s @ 183W. Unfortunately the cost was nowhere near $500 but it is what it is, welcome to Australia. I'm now 8 GPUs (all ASUS Top Edition Tuf Gaming 1660 Ti) in and about to try and figure out the HiveOS install although dreading it because I am sure it's not as easy as what everyone says.

[@adrian5776]

A quick question can I use it to mine other types of currency

[@imranbangali11]

Where can I get the splitter from??

[@cbj3653]

will a AsRock z97 SLI LGA1151 work?

[@PassengerAirbag-i3d]

Does your CPU matter when building your rig? I'm using 4 Nvidia 4070s and the CPU I paired it with is usually running hot.. it's an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x 12 Core.

[@supamaku4844]

Sir can you make a video making a GPU mining rig that can mine both Ton and ETH? Thanks in advance.

[@TheGreatEscape77]

Interesting 🤔 thinking about starting mining but i have A chrome book haha do you guys think that'll work to setup the program

[@rickynataatmadja652]

Can someone Explain or the Video Creator, that ETH price is outdated? isnt? or you taping this video old version? its alt + tab or some editing video from another outdated video,,, on 21:51 its 1 ETH= $2623 , the latest now on march 30 2022 or 2 days ago before you uploaded this video, 1 ETH=$3377 , too big different , its that normal, btw Nice video thank you for tutorial, im begginer for this,, Thank you

[@s2y387]

hey , can you recommend me a good gpu for mining less the 500$

[@ReisFutures]

Hi Mate, Thank you so much for your channel and support for newbies. I have a question since etherium is no longer a viable mining currency, can this set up be used to mine any other coin as well? would you personally recommnend any in particular in today's market? Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

That's the beauty of GPU mining. You can mine any of the pow coins.

[@clynesos7070]

Quick question I used an asus Prime A320m-k as my motherboard. It power on, the cpu fan was spinning and my gpu as well but I couldn't get a signal when I plug it in. I plug the hdmi cable first to the motherboard and then the gpu but no signal. I already have an hiveos ssd card install but no signal. I normally use btc37 motherboard to mine but they don't have enough space for rtx 3070 ti. Any suggestions?

[@BostonScottMesa]

Yeah cool can't wait to save up and buy a gpu so i can build my rig. Thank you for making this video

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Glad I could help!

[@JeffMuhlbach]

I don't have any GPU miners YET but it is my goal I think this is a great video series. Curious as far as the electric how much does it increase with each GPU added to the setup? Does it end up being more efficient/gpu as you fill out the rack?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Well now that we have the rig setup. The intial investment is done. So now we are just purchasing GPUS as we find deals. My electricity cost will continue to grow as I add more. But so will my Revenue.

[@raustin247]

@The Hobbyist Miner Most epic and professional mining video, thank you so much for the basic and understandable tutorials, no one ever takes the time to explain in detail like you do. I was curious if I could use this set up to mine flux but with the gigabyte GeForce you recommended in your mining flux video?

Just want to ask If you add 1 ekstra crapics cards do you make more money

[@theburger_king]

ive built gaming pcs in the past so for the most part building a mining rig seemed like it would be easy but the power cables are so much more complicated for these types of builds XD

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

If you can build a PC you can build a Mining Rig no problem.

[@Legend1518]

The heatsink/fan unit isn't square/ installed properly dude. from the 8:51 mark you can see its not sqaure on the motherboard

[@josefernandosegovia5767]

Quick question, what do you think about TRX (Tron) mining? I'm new to this, so far I have a couple computers using unmineable mining TRX, what is a better coin to mine, I like Tron because I can stake it on binane, but I'm not sure if its the most profitable, thank you and have a great day

[@silvertrucker9401]

My question is with the payout threshold on Hive at 0.1 ETH what happens at the merge if you have only reached say 25% of the threshold? Will they go ahead and payout since you can't mine it anymore?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Its different per pool. I believe most are paying out.

[@austinpasta8298]

what is the powee button wrapped around the rig?

[@loadmastergod1961]

Once I get my overclock dialed in and stable in the short spare time every other day I have. I plan to do a profitability test with my old 5700xt and new 6600 core. Bought a frame that should support 7 6600s and the 5700zr if I don't get convinced to abandonvthis

[@gideonessandoh8267]

Thanks man 😊 I have the something built in my room its dope keep it up Gideon Essandoh live Accra Ghana

[@MasterBojangles]

Guess that was the reason they were selling that GPU on FB marketplace.

[@magiclucky5152]

FWIW I run my 1660Ti at 915 Core, 1100/2200 Mem for 30.6 MH/s at 60W in the software. I prefer the 0.51 MH/J efficiency rather than getting the one additional megahash. Every card is different (silicon lottery, mem manufacturer) but give it a try and reply below if it works for you. That's with NH QuickMiner (latest revision) using the latest Nvidia Game Ready drivers available...it's my kid's gaming PC when he's not earning Bitcoin.

[@TheRadiastral]

If you have micron memory, try set 780 MHz core. You'll see the same (or better) hashrate, but slightly less watts. Mine are pulling 31.5 mh at 780 core and 2200 mem.

[@magiclucky5152]

@@TheRadiastral Thanks for the reply. I've got Samsung memory. I tried 780 Mhz core, anyway, but it didn't seem to change my power or hashrate much at all. Your settings get 30.4 MH @ 61W (0.497 MH/J). Almost within margin of error.

My main concern is how much can a $500 Crypto Mining ⛏️ Rig generate 💰?

[@sazzy94]

i would go with the second option because the auto fan speed will set the needed fan speed so that the mining rig doesn't consume too much power or heat too much, it makes a good balance between the power consumption and the temperature

At $0.90 profit per day it would take like a year and a half before you turn a profit on the $500 investment 🤔😏.

[@kadinotis8405]

So if you spent 2000 instead of 500 it's still a year and a half roi but not you have 4 times the profit after the year and a half mark. 90 cents a day 365 a year is 1314 dollars a year. So you can build two more every year and take 300 profit which will double by 1.5 every year after

@The Hobbyist Miner, Thank you for this video! As others stated you explain and show things as easy as possible which I am grateful for. This is my first time getting into mining so I have a few questions if you don't mind. 1. Can I use a MacBook? If not any recommendations? 2. Can I mine Bitcoin with this type of rig you built? 3. I dont understand the setting you went through. Can you go over what each setting does? Pro and cons for maximum profitability. 4. Can I manage my rig remotely or does the rig / laptop always need to be on 24/7. I know the rig needs to be on 24/7 but Im curious on the computer / laptop side of things. 5. If a power outage occurs, do I need to manually restart my rig or does it come back on line automatically? Thank you for your time and Im sorry for the newbie questions. MINERS, please feel free to answer my questions as it will help me understand better.
