Finally got my first GPU rig up and running. About 1 month ago after watching the 1k GPU rig build guide from Vosk, I thought I could manage and try it myself.
That was a crazy path of trying to find GPUs for decent price, a lot of time for research and waiting…lots of reading and video watching. I think I even still have an order pending for GPUs with ShopBLT.
I also learned alot about motherboard compatibility with 3000 series AMD CPU. Wont be making that mistake again.
For tonight I put the rig on nicehash bc it was the most simple for me to “plug/play” essentially.
Mining with pair of 580s 8GB and ryzen 5 3600.
If yall have any suggestions for where I should be mining other than nicehash, I am open to more learning/reading.
Thats awesome! I’m trying to build that interest in crypto world with my wife.
@IPDHCP The compatibility issues I had were in regards to the bios and not getting any output to monitor. I didnt have any other CPU to get bios updated on the first MB I bought to be able to get the 3600 running. So it was either find new CPU or new MB. I just went with new MB bc I needed more spacing anyways for the 580s. I also learned about AMD chips not supporting MB graphics, so I thought for a few minutes my second attempt was also failure…but just had to switch HDMI over to the 580.
