"Hey fellow miners, I'm thinking of building the ultimate mining rig and I want to get your input. I've got a budget of around $10k and I'm considering custom watercooling, a powerful GPU setup (think 8-10 NVIDIA A100s), and a solid power supply to handle the load. Who's built a beast of a mining rig recently, and what were some key takeaways from the experience?"

"Awesome thread guys, just got my hands on some 3090s and I'm stoked to try them out. What kind of motherboard would you all recommend for a custom mining rig with those GPUs? Looking for something that can handle high power draw."

"Dude, I'm with you on the custom build, but don't forget to choose a power supply that can handle the GPU's TDP. I just built a rig with a 1000W EVGA PSU and 6x RTX 3080s, and it's a beast. Any recommendations for a good mining-friendly motherboard?"

"Yooo, what's the build budget for this rig? I'm thinking of throwing in some high-end GPUs from the 3080 series to maximize mining efficiency. Anyone used the ASRock X570M Steel Legend micro ATX board for mining?"

"Awesome thread, guys! I've been thinking of upgrading my rig with some new GPUs and I'm interested in hearing about your custom design decisions. Has anyone tried using the Ryzen 9 7950X for crypto mining - any performance gains or downsides?"

I'm loving this thread, been thinking of building my own rig for months now. One thing to consider is the power supply unit (PSU) - you'll want one that can handle the high wattage of those GPUs. Has anyone looked into the 850W EVGA SuperNOVA for a high-end build?
