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.

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

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.

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.
