I found exactly that one turned off at office for a project that never started. For my Surprise, there was two cards on it, a GTX 1050TI and a sweet Quadro P2000 5GB. So now, it is mining, RVN in the GTX 1050TI and ETH in Quadro. Both cards on 15Mhs

This is the type of video that makes this channel great
Using old/whatever parts feels like going through garbage and finding money
Love the troubleshooting and using of old parts. Feels like how a lot of people got into mining.
Nobody mining
Lots of OEM /generic/ cheap mobos have a hard limit of physical PCIE lanes, due to # of copper traces limiting interconnectivity. Using the x4, x8, x16 slots tends to disable the x1 slots on cheaper mobos, even if you arent using all x4/x8 lanes.
+1 I'd also add that even midrange, enthusiast motherboards will disable some PCIe slots depending on what's plugged in (GPU or NVMe). Always best to read the manuals before purchasing.
Most motherboards, using the first 16x slot will also "take up" all 16x lanes, despite only having a 4x lane device plugged in. So you have to consider losing some lanes and doing some basic math to see how many pcie lanes you have left and which pcie slots those remaining lanes will be on.
Interesting so you get a backup slot if one fails and it prevents overloading a cheaper system that is not built to be run 24/7 with too much power flowing through it.
I hope YOU’RE doing really well and having a nice day! This video reminded me of the only computer I ever built…back in 2008…which has been stored in its original case and stored for more than a decade. Pulled it out and disassembled it. Might be able to salvage at least some of this!
I built my very first rig from my old 2008 PC (I built) parts. Micro ATX motherboard, AMD Phenom 2 CPU. With 4x splitter was able to run 5 GPUs. This rig is still running to this day. :)
This is what its all about! this is really making due with the parts you have for cheap! thanks for showing us the way RPM
What a great video! You've given me some solid ideas; namely, a way to possibly get my other motherboard to run more cards. Thank you!
Lent my old C2D & LGA775 motherboard to my work a few years ago as a temporary replacement for an IPC that died. Got it back the other day and this is a perfect use. Even if I only get 4 GPUs to work on it, that's still awesome.
@RedPandaMining Awesome video drop! It was fun to watch and see what will work with this little office Computer. It was fun to keep testing it 😁 looking forward to your next video drop!
i like this. I did not expect to see a video frankensteining a old desktop!
your a mad man! can't wait for the 32 card rig vid! yeah, I'm going to do this to my old gaming mobo
@Pinned ẞy Red Panda Mining I Never tought until now, maybe to transform my amd threadripper 3970x pc in a mining rig. So it would be a great experiment to see what you can get, and best of all, how to do it jaja
Very well in deed was looking out for this kind of content.... Thanks always loving ur content peace
I did the same thing with my daughters gaming PC and it worked. I am mining 6-1660S off her motherboard using your GPU hangers on a rack. When it works, it's works and you feel good about it.
- "I am a small miner, I only have one RIG 😢"
- RIG has 32 GPUs 😂
What a great video idea 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣exactly
Sadly rich
@@RamanPlayz410 Nope, you have the wrong idea. RPM does it first for testing purposes, then for fun and video content (still for fun), then considers the idea if is worth to keep the rig as is or not. Where most times is the later for simplicity of use and maintenance. He just likes to mess with all these. Or else why waste time on a prebuilt pc when you are ballin?
RPM is not rich as he still has a 9to5 to go to along with a lot of other thing as all husbands and fathers do.
Stuff like this is awesome, helping us little guys into the space.
Great project. You might want to tie the power supply's dc side grounds together to increase stability and prevent any ground loop issues. I've done other projects that had multiple power supplies powering the same project and it got wacky when there wasn't a common ground.
I love this video I turned an old Dell Optiplex into my starter mining rig and had the exact same experience all the slots work individually but not at the same time and nothing to adjust in bios. The discord was really helpful but am happy to see this video too!
Same here. It won't work with more than 1 GPU, and directly plug the GPU to the 16x slot won't work, had to use the 1x slot with riser card. Optiplex 390
Did you end up getting more than 1 GPU to work in the motherboard? I am trying an old Dell Optiplex motherboard as well. I can only get it to run with one GPU.
@@victorhopper2927 I’ve not been able to get it to work yet with 2 but trying different pcie expansions. Last time I did though it said I didn’t have the resources to do it.
A few months ago I was trying to figure out if I could use one of these proprietary HP Pro/EliteDesk computers and a server PSU (to power a GPU) to build a gaming PC for my nephew.
My main worry was about how to make sure the second PSU would turn on with the PC. On an ATX 24-pin PSU you can buy an adapter-board that splits the On/Off power power state signal.
I'm thinking the HP OEM board ran out of lanes. I'm surprised that you were able to get six to mine. Impressive!! Kudos for the PCIE Hubs... Good Stuff RPM
I think the hanging rack with this setup would work perfect and might even look slightly clean
This is a fun experimental build. Can't wait to see the monster 32 gpu build

Now THIS is the kind of content I didn’t know I needed!
I have a gigabyte ga-ma790gp-ds4h from 2010, phenom 2 mining with 5 cards on hive. My old world of Warcraft pc from my childhood, still getting some use.
ran into this issue with celeron & gold cpu's on non mining specific motherboards, were never able to detect more than 5 gpu's at a time, it's something about pci-e lanes or smth, on i5's couldn't get more than 6
I turned an old E-machines into a 6 card rig and an old Compaq into a 6 card rig. Found them both on the side of the road. 🤠 PCIE splitters for the win. 🚀
Red panda this was the most awaited video for me as I was planning to buy that 1x4 PCIe extender to use on my motherboard but was a question if that is really going to work?? ... i think this video is going to solve my purpose now. thanks man!!!
this is the best video ive ever seen.thank u so much
I kinda feel the need to do something like this now... Its for sure a GREAT option for those that are looking just to enter into the mining world now days
This was a really good video.
Great Content.
EXCELLENT VIDEO AS ALWAYS RED PANDA, those splitters work very well I use them but with hiveos, with windows, they work but the system gets very slow
This video is awesome 👍
An update on the status of the pre-built rig would be great 👍🏾
It never fails to amaze the lengths OEMs go to put proprietary connectors on common, off the shelf components. This is why I build my own.
Also saw your idea with the threadripper I had the same question on my latest video! Can't wait to see some tests with the threadripper! Try 3060s in all the pcie slots on a threadripper board with no risers and let us know how many you can do without risers please would be very helpful info!
I’m trying to get a GPU mining operation set up but on a limited budget atm. For my first go at this, if I only have one GPU and an older PC would I be able to just plug it straight into the PCI-E slots? I’m guessing the USB multiplier hub adapters are only needed for when you want to add multiple GPUs?
That set up here showing there is basically the same thing what I have and I love my multiplier hub
very useful video. I can't wait for another video with 32 gpus!
Wish you made this video a week ago. I have done exactly the same testing with a old motherboard. Max 6 gpu was the result. Alot of fun though.
I have a few GPU's on a table, ha. I am going to steal that idea of adding an angle bar. So simple.
Im trying to use an old MB to run hiveos.... will only run once then when reboot it just hangs on a black screen with the white line flashing.... Anyone have any answers to that problem?
I have 3 of these style PCs mining, have been using them for awhile. Budget mining at it's best.
I use 2 of old HP prebuilds with core2 duos, each 50$. On those there was a bios setting to which controller distributes which things (slots, sound, USB etc.), what usually helped was to set all the usb and disable audio, but I never was able to do more than 6 Gpus (x16 with 4Splitter, x1, x1). What can be a problem too is booting of USB, I only managed to boot off an SSD. Btw, there are PSU 24pin adapters out there...
The setup is fiddely, but when it once works it's stable and veery cheap.
Same here, you can only run off the ssd
Definitely some PCIE bandwidth limitation on the motherboard, it probably disables the PCIEX1 slots in order to allow the PCIEX16 and PCIEX8/4 to run at full speed, they always cheap out somewhere, that's why i hate pre-built computers lol
Any idea for how to solve this in a b460m hdv asrock motherboard? Trying to run two 3060ti only one show in the hiveos another one as malfunction
When you get the threadripper up and running you need to do a cpu mineable coin showdown with monero vs verus coin.
The same thing happened to me when I tried to connect 8 GPUs on a B450 motherboard. It works fine with the 6 GPUs but when I put the 1-4 hub I simply cant boot simplemining... Any ideas anyone?
Should do a few more experimenting with older motherboards, it's fun n I had some of those ideas but was hesitant to try them. Thank you
...ohh who thinks an HP (forgot the name) that came with windows vista would work?
Greetings from South Africa!
Would utilizing the regular USB ports on the front and back work to put more?
Some of the PCIe splitter adapters have six or eight connectors. Would that work?
Are we able to adapt this using an ATX PSU or does the proprietary PSU limit us?
How much power does pcie lane take on a 3090? I have a vega 64 pcie running on a molex, is this ok?
How about trying to use the m.2 to pci-e adaptor to add another gpu? Couldn’t it work?
Cool video ! Did you try the M.2?
I've set a few up like this. I let the original PSU run the board and daisy chain a second to handle the GPUs using Add2psu. Only needs a MOLEX (or SATA on some) cable from the main computer to control the on/off of the second PSU.
Can you do a video on connecting the 2 PSU? would be awesome
If a rig has a decent CPU any reason not to dual mine XMR (Monero)? I do it in Windows but i know it can be done in HiveOs as well (dual mining)
So I've looked and you can connect gpu to small mini pcs but it can only be certain gpu. So I've always wondered could you mine and would it help to bring the wattage use down
Those pcie splitter are amazing !
I have a Gigabyte GA Q170M Board that sees 4 video cards on startup then drops the 4th after a couple of minutes. So advice is drop audio in BIOS? What else?
Did you try to disable the m.2 slot? Or using an m.2 to pcie adapter?
I had issues using the 1x usb adapter aswell. My cards would connect and kind of work but it was unstable. I found that on my board (B450 Tomohawk) some slots run at pci-e 1.1 and some run at 2.0 with the adapter. Using only pci-e ports that run at 2.0 solved all issues.
I think it only works with that adapter is because the adapter force GPUs to use pcie 2.0 mode instead of 3.0. I guess such PC's BIOS doesn't have pcie version option.
The real question is, does it work putting splittercards on the risers, to potentially multiply you gpu capacity even further? I have a mini itx mobo with only one pci-e slot. works with splitter card and 4 gpu mine fine, but I want more gpu´s on it :)
That wouldn't work. Those splitter cards take 4 pci lanes and split them into 4 individual 1 lane connections. A riser is already 1 pci lane. The splitter would probably work on 1 of the ports or just wouldn't do anything.
In the HP BIOS is there an option to turn off UEFI and just use BIOS mode?
Is the external PSU only used to power the GPU? what is the name of the converter to link the old psu with an atx?
Didn’t you say that it had an M.2 slot? Try the adapter you had a few months ago?…
i have a asus tuff gaming Z590 wifi MoBo how can i put more card on it i can only get one to work
Would this work as a good way to get into mining? Or Is there a better way?
Hi I'm trying to use 3 cards on a Msi b350 but I get the 3060 and 3070ti recognised but no the 1060. 4g decoding enabled. I'm using one of those adapters in which I have the 3060 and 1060 connected and the 3070 on the x16 slot. Any ideas
This is an interesting test ! With the shortage of pc parts (affordable), this the way do to have fun !
About pcies not working ... don't you have some kind of energy saving setup on your motherboard ? maybe try disabling that
Did you try an M2 to PCIE Adapter for your builds?
What was the final mine rate with 6 GPU? Sorry if you already said. Thx
hi i bought a prebuilt hp too i would like to ask if i don have the hp server power supply can i use a 1600w atx power supply jz to power up the riser and the gpu?
Is it still being stable? I've tried those PCIe splitters on my PC gaming and didn't work with more than 6 GPUs (MSI B450 gaming plus max) and at some point I had random errors on HiveOS (one gpu stopped working, restarts) . Seems a common issue.
Please try on windows and tell me if you can add more if it works please reply 😅
I have optiplex 9020 with cpu core i 5. It has two GPU slots can I use it for mining?
Hi , I have nivida RTX 3060 GPU . Which mother board I should buy . I am not very technical guy . It will be great if you can give me a model number. Thanks
I had the same issue with an msi Z270 PC Mate motherboard and it only worked when I used two of the spliters like you did.
motherboard low on pci lanes can't support all pci slots, why only one adapter works it may be in gen settings but that board has limited bios settings.
More like my 1st built, the only concern is whether the motherboard can withstand mining with 4GPUs on original PSU on energy usage.
My 1st rig was exactly this, still working fine, it's a really cheap way to get into mining. These old HP desktops are very cheap if not free if you look around.
They should put your logo on clothes in watchdogs lol your intro is the best
ahahaha I have a "everything can be a mining rig" old budget build in the making too :D always fun to utilize the old stuff :) cheers man, have a good one!
Great! I know what I'll do tomorrow
Where can I get those HP power supplies?
I am running a optiplex 7060 for one of my rigs, only has a 16 and a 1 on it but I am able to utilize both with no splitters only one gpu per slot. Had to disable the security like you did and if I remember had to enable something in the bios for the pci slots.
ok just 2 cents of my knowledge if i understood that correctly. : pcie lanes are determined by cpu and north or south bridge(can't remember exactly) in general the cpu from 2015 and up(even older intel) give you 16 pcie lanes and than you add whatever the s or n bridge has(usually 16) i think the issue was the x1 slots and the reason you can only have 6 gpu is because 4x multiplied by 6 would give you 24 lanes taken and 7 would take the whole 30 out of 32 lanes but that would murder everything since lanes are needed for other components
the beauty of hive is that it restarts itself when it crashed how do you make that happen when you use a server psu?
i love how you say be right back and then you snap your fingers lol :)
I believe it has to be something to do with power delivery /demand for the PCIe ports.The PSU might not deliver enough power(check the wattage of the PSU)
As soon as you place all the 4 cards into the splitter, then the PSU delivers power enough for only ONE card, then the cards get their necessary power from the risers and all goes well.
How did you get the second power supply to turn on?
Is it possible to connect a GPU to a laptop via USB and mine on the GPU? Maybe an interesting project, if it’s even possible?
I wonder if you use a USB for hive and take the SSD out, maybe it will recognize one more GPU.
Ahh, yes! The video that I was wishing was made. Now, we know....! Bravo.. 👏
i did a similar system with the G2 HP variant, so this might work with mine, I can do 2 GPUs on the PCIe16 slots, but an adapter on the 1x slot, so the adapter may only work only on the PCIe16x slots did a set up like this so i can have all my low end cards on one system
I have a Dell desktop from 2010 running 6 GPUs, I have 2 PCI-E mining risers 1 in each of the 2 motherboard PCI-E sockets, works well using simpleminer.
I did the same and it works fine with 7 gpus ;)
You can use an old x79 dual motherboard to build a 32 GPU rig which is much cheaper than the threadripper one.
Even 64 GPUs with your PCIE expansion hub I guess. Basically, it’s only limited to how many PCIE lanes on your CPU plus PCIE lanes on chipset from your motherboard.
Super bro
I have a 2014 Dell desktop with a G1840 CPU mining with 6 Gpus,works great
