This is NOT financial advice and I am NOT a financial advisor. Building mining equipment is expensive and can be risky. Crypto Currency is very volatile and the prices change daily. Please do your own research before investing!!
THESE VIDEOS ARE MADE FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!!!
Thanks a lot for the details man👌🏾
Any time! Thank you for watching my video.
Very informative!!!
Thank you!
Great job on details 👍
Thank you for the kind words
Nice video. I too am fairly new to crypto. Kept saying no to gpu and cpu mining but here I am waiting on my AAAWave Sluice 12gpu frame to come in. I've got a hodge podge of amd and nvidia cards to put in but I am working towards 1 12 gpu each rig amd and 1 nvidia.
Nice! Let me know how it goes
Thanks for a great beginners tutorial. Just buying the hardware to build my first one now. I do have a questions though. How do you set up multiple GPUs? I apoligize if that's a dumb question.
It is not a dumb question. You can add more than one gpu to a motherboard by using gpu risers. The gpu risers that I really like are on gpurisers.com. Great question.
Dear OC, enjoyed very much from your video.
1. I wish you would explain more about the SW and drivers installation, it seems you have logged to navida - where did you find the zip files etc.
2. I guess for each GTX card, like MSI - you will need to go to MSI site.
3. Do you think you can connect the GTX card power to external 12V (not to "regular" power supply - but like output of solar system (battery charge controller))?
4. What needed to be installed for Bitcoin mining?
many thanks!!
Thank you for the kind words. I will try to help you as much as I can. (1) I downloadedthe Nvidia GeForce Driver app that can be located here to update the drivers of my GPUs: www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/ (2) Please see (1). (3) I am unsure about this as I use EVGA Power Supplies to power my GPU rigs. (4) I do not mine Bitcoin nor do I have Bitcoin miners so I would have to direct you to someone else to answer this question.
@@ocminer Many thanks!
@@ilangsaio601 You are welcome!
I have a question what Computer did you use to set up the mining rig
I used the computer I created in the video to set up almost everything. I did have another computer that I downloaded a file from microsoft to create a bootable windows usb.
@@ocminer thank you for telling me. I'm just now getting in to mining bitcoin so I don't know what to use
@@user-kd5fr5eg4w Please share your journey and what you come up with.
@@ocminer ok I will let you know how I do
Can you recommend any motherboards that can fit more GPUS?
If you are looking for a motherboard that supports up to 20 GPUs, then I would recommend the ASUS H370 Mining Master.
@@ocminer Thankyou
@@ocminer by any chance, do you know a website where I can check compatible power supply, cpu, gpu and everything else on a H370 mining master? Or do you want to make a tutorial set up on a 20 GPU slot mother board? And I promise to like and watch that video as well. Lol Thankyou your videos really help.
Red Panda Mining made a video about setting up this board. I will look to see if I can find it fit you
What ram did you use?
I used a cheap 8gb ram stick. You only need to use one ram stick for a gpu mining rig.
Thanks
Wouldn’t be making much right? Bc mining is dead?
It’s not making much but I don’t believe mining is dead. I believe this is just a cycle that crypto has gone through before.
How much investment needed for this
It’s a great time to buy equipment so I would say around $300-$400 dollars plus GPUs
