Just got my first DIY rig up and running, but it's a bit of a beast right now. Any pro tips on tweaking BIOS, fan curves, or software settings to squeeze out more hash without blowing up the power bill? Looking forward to the hacks!
Just built my first DIY mining rig what are some tips for optimizing performance

Congrats on the build, that's a sweet starting rig you got there. Definitely want to suggest checking your RAM speeds, some people have seen significant gains by running their RAM at 3200 or 3600 Mhz, even if it's not officially supported. Also don't forget to dust out those fans and make sure everything's good and stable before cranking up the OC too high.
I'm glad to see you took the plunge and built your first rig, keep in mind to monitor your temps closely, you can use HWiNFO or AIDA64 to get a better picture of how hot your components are running, also make sure to set your fans up to run at optimal speeds for minimal noise and best performance.
Definitely undervolt and underclock those GPUs immediately if you care about efficiency, otherwise, your power bill is gonna eat your profits. Also, double-check your risers and airflow—heat is the real killer here. Welcome to the rabbit hole
I've had good luck with liquid cooling on my rigs, it's a lifesaver in warm environments and helps you push your GPUs to the limit without overheating. Also make sure you're getting decent airflow around your case, dust buildup can really slow down your rig. Cable management is key too, keep your peripherals and wires organized.

Is Gemini worth the hype?
