Screw in one of the PCI-X Riser cards, plug it into the PCI-E slot closest to the processor, and plug in power from the power supply.Use the bottom two fan screws from the HP power supply. Attach the HP power supply and X5 board to the left side of the case.

Attach power cables from the Antec power supply to the Motherboard, CPU power, SSD. Attach the Antec power supply to the right side of the case.Put the motherboard in the case on the already attached rubber offsets.Plug the SATA cable into the motherboard.Attach the ATX switches and LED’s to the power header.Put the CPU, CPU fan, and memory on the motherboard.

The idea is to get a basic computer built, troubleshoot any potential issues, install the operating system and application, then build the rest of the machine. Here’s some basic instructions for the most efficient order of operations. I always forget something when I build the machine. You may want to buy two of the HP power supplies also.

This latest batch had some that had electric shorts that prevented the PC from starting! Most of the time the GPU card will stop working due to a bad risers after a few hours or a day. I’ve tried 3 different brands, and usually half of the risers will be bad and won’t work. And it costs less.īuy twice as many PCI-E risers as you think you will need. I like the Biostar better because it does not require any messing around with BIOS. I used an MSI board in the video, and the Biostar on a different build.

The improvement over the Claymore application is enough to make the switch. Here’s the speed of Optiminer 1.5 on a six GPU mining rig running Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury cards – about 2620 H/s:Īnd on a miner with six XFX RX480-8G GPU’s. Linux is great for system administration! No VPN connection required, just SSH to my $10/month VPS box running Linux, SSH from there to the Linux box at my small office that my firewall forwards TCP port 22 to, and from there SSH to my GPU-miners.Ĭopy the files from one miner to another with SCP, reboot remotely if the mining application hangs, and otherwise do complete management remotely. It’s much easier to SSH into a remote linux miner and change what it is running than to do the same thing with Windows. I recommend you run Optiminer 1.5 on Ubuntu Linux. I have set up my mining rigs to run both Claymore and Optiminer now.

Well, at least as of right now, the Optiminer 1.5 Zcash miner is faster than Claymore.
