Get those sata off those risers.. they’re only rated at 54w and risers call for 75..

Thank you this video helped me convert an old Dell 3020 i3 into a nice little mining rig 🙏 the 1 to 4 PCIe and the Dell cable links were very helpful! Nice creativity crafting your own chassis, i like it.

Hello there, very impressive set up you have there! I just bought the very same computer and will be doing something similar. My question is regarding the power supply. Are you running the original PSU and the upgraded one as well or just the 800 watt unit? Thanks
@zbdot73
@zbdot73 2 года назад
I think he's running everything off the new power supply. Be cautious with Ether, they're changing the protocol or something to make it harder to mine with GPUs.

Well done bud, prefer to keep it in the case like you have, don't matter what she look like, cheers. Prices will be down now, and shifting to POS have you thought what your going to mine after the merge.

I purchased the equipment using your affiliate links from Amazon, I do have 2 more Questions if you don't mind : 1) Would I be able to use your Setup with Minerstat Software instead of what you are using? 2) Can I just use the existing Stock PS in 9020SFF desktop for machine operation and just use External 800WAtts PS for the Riser and GPUs? Or do I have to disconnect the stock PS and just use the external or can I use Both? Thnx in advance.
@kingmanarrranger
@kingmanarrranger 2 года назад
I haven't used Minerstat but I think any mining software can be used. I use a single power supply but many people use multiple units. It probably best to watch some videos on using multiple power supplies as I there is some precautions to take and not damage any components.

@kingmanarrranger
@kingmanarrranger 3 года назад
@@_FERG The 1660 Graphics cards need at least an 800 Watt power supply, and the Dell power supply was only 300 Watt, so it needed an upgrade. How much it makes varies since it depends on several factors, such as the mining difficulty that changes and the coin price, which has huge ups and downs. Today 7-9-2021, it made roughly $7. There are online mining calculators that will give information on how much a card will make with current prices.

I don't need the BGNing extender if I'm only going with a single GPU for right now, correct? The riser you link appears comes with a PCI-E interface card with a single USB.

@kingmanarrranger
@kingmanarrranger 2 года назад
As long as you have Win 10, I would think it should see more than one card. Often it takes an older PC a long time to see multiple cards. I would let it sit for 15-20 minutes or more and check. The Drivers may need to be installed also.

You can put it in a new computer, please. That's 2 when I'm gonna do. If I get my GPU's. I got one GPU. But I'm gonna get another one after I get my first one. Because they got Ag PU. Holder My advice is just to put it in another computer. Case that is bigger to hold all those graphics card.
