Title: Building the Ultimate mining rig on a budget: DIY GPU cluster build for under $2k

Hey fellow miners, I'm looking to build the ultimate mining rig on a budget and I'm thinking a DIY GPU cluster build could be the way to go. With cryptocurrency prices being all over the place, I'm aiming to build a rig that can mine multiple coins at once and still turn a profit. Anyone have experience with building a GPU cluster or have any advice on how to get started?

"Been eyeing that new Nvidia 4080 for mining, but it's a bit too pricey for this build. Consider using second-hand or refurbished GPUs to get the mostbang for your buck. Has anyone tried using a mining-focused GPU like the M30 series?"

"just wanted to chime in, I was trying to build a rig under $2k and settled on a 6x rx 580 setup with a 2700x. Ended up spending around $1.8k and it's been cranking out some nice hashrates. Anyone have any tips on optimizing power consumption?"

"Hey OP, I've been following your build thread and I gotta say, you're crushing it! I've got a similar setup at home, using 6x 3060s with a 3090 as the master card. The performance for the price is insane, I'd recommend keeping the 6GB VRAM config for the 3060s to save some cash"

I've been wanting to build a GPU cluster myself, but I'm still debating between AMD Ryzen and Intel Core for the CPU. Has anyone here compared the performance of these two options in a mining rig setup?
