How to get Cheap GPU Mining Rig Parts From Old Desktop PCs

Another great idea, thanks

U putting your motherboard on table like that will not spoilt the board? There is no protection at the bottom

Great vid I have 4pc towers collecting dust, want to take my gpu’s and build a rig. Thnks

Are you also using the 4 USB OB Ports on these. Or, these too slow? Also, have you attempted to use a USB 4 or more port hub to add ports on your rigs using older MBs? TIA. HODL!

With 666 likes I didn't want to give you a thumbs up (to freak out the religious types).... but helpful video and helps feed your algorithm.

Between a friend and myself we have a few graveyard boxes.

Used this exact build with 4 2070 and a few 1660 supers and every time I start mining with a 5th gpu regardless of cables, risers, or gpu hashrates drop to 0 for multiple cards and start getting cuda errors.. help??

Why do you need to strip down the computer,? just install the adapter cards into the computer... connect GPU with risers, Power GPUs with HP server PSU with breakout board attached.......There is really no need to strip out the computer

Would 1660super work on HP Compaq DC 7800 tower? I need to run 2 GPU's out of it, because I can't get my msi z390-a pro with i3 9100F to work with 6 cards. Thank You.

hp prodesk 400 g3 have 4 slots pcie can i use for 4 gpu

this pc support mining with 3060 ti?

Careful. I had a old Lenovo desktop I converted into a gaming pc. The latest bios were too old to support any newer cards.

Pls tell me what model of motherboard and which card we can run on this rig???

I have hp prodesk 400 g2 I am trying to install gpu with pcie riser card but in the bios what should I change because windows does not recognize gpu when it starts

building a couple of cpu mining rigs from old desk tops.

Thank u so much Sir you teach us very well, biggest like 872, fully played

Time to strip out the 3 old pc's sitting in the basement.

I've done this with two rigs. Ebay mobo, cpu, cpu fan and ram bundles can go for £30 with postage.

If the old office PC does not have a 24 pin connector do you use it to run the mobo and use another psu for everything else? What is "best" most efficient and safe?

I use the power supplies and the hard drives sometimes. $60 I pay for each pc, they have 4 pcie slots and are ready to go once you load the os

Do we have to made any changes to bios?

The real question is what features do you need to look for in a motherboard that allows you to run more than 1 gpu I have a b450 f from Asus and I've tried a million ways to run 2 960s and a 2060 but it won't recognize them it won't even boot when I use one of those pci splitters and I got it to boot with the 2 960s but the 3rd card it won't do anything plus the internet says it won't but I got it to recognize 2 cards so I must be missing something

Where do you order the r9 380 at

so, is a Pentium a good option for price? its very power efficient. mining doesn't need a very powerful CPU, right?

I recycle parts all the time. I pulled a 580 8gb out of the recycling bin.

can you use 2 12gb graphic card to mine am old pc

Brother Excellent Video, Thanks, New Miner here building same project, any guidance in terms of installing the miner software on this and drivers will be needed? Windows or Linux?

I’ve been building CPU’s for awhile (custom water loops mainly or building custom cases) over the past 5 years I’ve gotten a few components (i7-4790k, Asus Mark S mobo, 4x 1660 SC’s, 600 watt evga psu, and 16gb of avexir ram) since it’s only 4 gpus I have a pc tower they will fit it (Corsair 750D airflow) I’m just sort of lost when it comes to what programs and such to run and if the cpu could handle running such programs as I don’t see many people using i7-4790k’s much but the gpus all work great and haven’t really been ran much as the original build was two Galax HOF edition GTX 980’s (back when having a white pcb was hard to get lol)

Hey maybe someone can help me
I have a 8x 1660ti mining rig. All was working fine until one morning the rig shut down and once I restarted it I could not get all the gpus to be detected.
I've tried all kinds of stuff but have only got it to pick up 3 of gpus.
I have windows 10, I've reinstalled it
Turned back the updates.
Tested all gpus on other rigs. Tested the risers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

what about the pentium ?

Question. for DDR3 motherboards, the lanes are afected due the use of some microprocessors like celerons or old semprons? i mean, can i use a sempron to manage a 4 to 6 gpus Rig?

👍👍

Now if only there was a source for cheap gpu's.

Can the hp 280 g1 tower run8 gpu’s?

A modern hardware is cool but. cool+worst = coolerworst

What was processor bit?

I found really cheap motherboard combo Cih61m v.1 and i3-2120 can I mine with it can you guys give me advice to buy or not

Help Please, i got a HP280 G1 MT (I5-4590 @3gb) and 8GB mem. running windows 10pro. I did all the registry tweaks and such, Virtural mem 1931/20000, I get a message on device manager for the EVGA 1070 card "this device cannot find enough resources that it can use" any ideas where to start looking for the fix?? thank you, love your content.

What bios setting did you use to enable the 6th gpu? I have the same board and there's no 4g decoding option.

Can I use DDR3 motherboard for mining with splitter and 4-6 GPUs with 4-6 gb GPUs?

Love it. Love your card brackets too. I will never understand why some guys spend hundreds of dollars on octominer cases. If the whole point is to make money spending less puts more in your pocket sooner. Well done. 👍🏻

You rock HM, I have been waiting for that for 2 years lol, I can do most things hardware but never went deep into Motherboard territory I'm good to go bro! just bought a cheap Dell i7-2600 3.4Ghz, 8GB RAM going to look for appropriate GPU's here in while prices are lowish, thinking Etc or flux or ...still deciding which to start with, any personal pref be sure to holler. Merge or not, I need to learn the nuts and bolts properly if I am to feel confident in the industry as a whole. 2 years in trader always watching mining, looking forward to many years of experimenting with emerging trends, who knows what direction tomorrow but one thing is certain, at 44 now, people the world over underestimated BTC 15 years ago, I imagined it today and 15 years later to be like this, we already won it's utility, then Eth, then.....!. Thanks for the Vid mate, I'll watch the other build too, Heck yeah ;) Owe ya a beer

Loved it!

I have close to 20 old Dell 3010 computers, some 3020 , 3050 computers. Have SSD's, plenty of spare parts and Windows 10 Pro custom image can you to reimage these units. I would like to turn these into minors what GPU's would you recommend, OS and what to mine to get into the game?

What gpus can i use for this to work i mean cheep guys

Very informative.. thankyou.

is there any videos on how you active the new card, gpu etc or it is a plug and play ? im not a computer person so havent mess with computers for a long long time.

Is the current state of GPU Mining? What creative ideas or avenues have you done to get your hands on Cheap GPU Mining Rig Parts? What are you running currently?
