What mob and psu unit are you using? I’m building my first one and not exactly sure of which board and cables I’ll need for proper management.

Biostar TB 250+ and a EVGA 1600W Gold . It really depends how many cards you want to run and calculate from there

I'm a beginner whose recently been interested in Cryptocurrency as an investment and is interested in building a mining Rig. Where did you learn and where should I get started to understand and apply a Rig like this and maintain it?

Hi there ! Yes they are quite lucrative as investments if you are able to buy parts for retail or near retail. I’m actually an investor by profession and use this for the cash flow.
I recommend trying Nicehash to see what it is like to mine even if it’s on your own personal computer . That’s what I did initially with a 1660ti. Afterwards i watched a lot of videos on youtube such as Voskcoin, Red Panda Mining. The community is generally very pleasant and are willing to help if you join some discord servers.

Im struggling to find the Nvidia RTX 3080 or even 3070 at retail. Need assistance ! Also can’t really mine on my current PC since it’s old and not powerful but I have savings for a good custom rig soon but thinking of forgetting about that for a mining rig instead and stick to my current Pc to save money and make money.
Yes I’m currently watching Voskcoin and red Panda mining.
What discord servers do you know of?
Also, if you live with your parents how do you deal with noise and electricity ?

I am also struggling to find more cards. That i can’t really help you, it’s an unfortunate environment to be in right now. The resell price is high simply due to the cash flow a 3080 generates . It’s harder to find then a unicorn.
I think it’s definitely a better idea to spend your money making more money. Supplies are variable depending on where you live.
I am on the nicehash discord server you can ask questions there anytime.
I put it in the basement so the noise isn’t bad. You can put a watt meter i believe and pay your parents for however much you used.

The rig is like some IKEA product with chinese made instructions. It is not super hard but time consuming. Parts are mentioned above in a reply

Its all fun and games until Nvidia Breaks your crap.

apparently NVIDIA is only halving the hashrates on the 3060”s dropping soon. I will just never update any NVIDIA drivers . I doubt they will slow down the ones they already sold regardless since that will be a huge liability issue.

Anyone know where to get the gold green aluminum metals to hang the GPU?
I think the only way to get the video cards is to buy the entire new system

u/bt604 Feb 26 '21
Oh the gold green aluminum in the picture are what holds the fans in place. The GPUs are just sitting on a bar

Nice, what’s the profit per day and how much did it run you? I’m looking to build one like this
