Title: Turn Your Old GPU into a Mining Powerhouse: A DIY Guide

Hey guys, I was thinking of giving my old RTX 2060 a new life as a mining rig. I know it's old, but I heard some people are still making some decent profits with it, especially with the current GPU prices being outrageous. Does anyone have any experience or tips on how to squeeze out the most hashpower from a retro GPU?

"Yooo, just did this exact thing over the weekend with my old 1070 and made a decent amount on Ethereum. Had to do some extra research to figure out the power supply and cooling, but now it's humming along smoothly. Anyone else have success with this setup?"

I just finished setting up a rig with some old GTX 1060s and a mining motherboard, and I'm now pulling in around 200 MHS on Ethereum. The profit is worth the time and effort, but be careful with the power consumption - I had to swap out my old PSUs to accommodate the extra load.

"Awesome guide, OP! I was able to squeeze an extra 2 ETH from my old 1070 by tweaking the cooling system and undervolting. Anyone know if the latest algo is more GPU or ASIC friendly?"

"Hey guys, I'm thinking of doing this myself but I've heard that the new AMD drivers are causing issues with some mining setups. Has anyone encountered any problems after the update?"
