"From Circuit Boards to Cold Storage: Build Your Own Crypto Mining Rig!"

[Tribun]

"Hey everyone, just built my first crypto mining rig and wanted to share the experience with you all. I started with an old gaming PC, swapped out the GPU, and added a custom power supply - it's been a wild ride. For those new to mining, I'm thinking of breaking down the process into a step-by-step guide, starting with the basics of circuit boards"

"Yooo, great guide OP! Been thinkin' of buildin' my own rig for a while now, this thread is just what I need to get started. Has anyone had any success with the new NVIDIA Lovelace GPUs for mining?"

 

[kiori]

Dude, just wanna throw my two cents in - I'm actually planning on building a small mining rig soon. Has anyone tried using the Antminer S19 Pro? I've heard they're pretty energy-efficient and powerful for the price.

"just a heads up for new builders: make sure you've got a decent power supply (at least 80+ gold certified) and some high-quality RAM for those miners, don't wanna have a system crash mid-haul on a valuable ASIC."

"Yooo, just built my first mining rig last month and it's been a wild ride. Got a 6GPU rig up and running, mining some ETNs. Just a heads up, make sure to get a good cooling system or the rigs will overheat, trust me"

"Love this thread, been wanting to dip my toes into mining. One thing I'd add is to consider using a custom mining OS like Ubuntu or Hive OS to optimize efficiency and reduce power consumption. Anyone have experience with the Ryzen 9 series for mining?"

"Lol, just tried building my own rig last month and I'm still troubleshooting the power supply, what a headache. Ended up spending more on cooling systems than I expected Have any of you guys managed to build a reliable setup?"

"Honestly, building a mining rig from scratch is a beast of a project, but I've seen some awesome builds pop up in here. I've got a few old GPUs lying around, thinking of dusting them off and building a mini rig for some side-income. Who else has experience in building their own rigs?"

 

[Axinia]

"Lol, I tried building my own rig last year but ended up with a bunch of electrical issues . Any tips for someone who's never worked with circuit boards before? Specifically, what's the best way to keep things cool and prevent overheating?"
