hello everyone from a windy day since i started mining it's been one week
now and i made this wooden bench it's made by really really cheap materials that i
bought off of bauhaus they're so cheap you can see maybe you don't i don't know the wood
is actually a bit bendy in here also even there cheap material like that
would do the work for me for now so my second psu has arrived today i'm going to
install two new rtx 3060 ti's today but first i'm going to take all of these out and
try to sort out this bending issue here so i will share the results of bench after it
finishes i'm gonna work on the support today all right i built some kind of support
underneath the plank that carries the motherboard it looks like shit i know but it's cheap and it
works for now so i'll use it for a while i will start installing those four original cards i had
back and then add two extra 360 ti's to the system this is the psu from the previous video
and this is the psu that just arrived today same purchase but i've been advised to buy my next
server psu as a platinum grade one so i will look into that and if i can i will buy my next server
psu hp platinum series which has less noise and better energy efficiency apparently let's start
two new cards added the new psu is installed power is plugged we are ready to go now i
know everything is looking too unprofessional i just put some uh screws in just enough to keep
those guys steady i'm not pushing them down or anything because this wood is actually bent i
don't know if you can tell from the video but i think you can yeah look at these levels they're not all the same so i'm not pushing them down to the hardest just enough to keep them all all right this one's a bit slacking i will fix
that in a minute our lan cable is in hiveos is there those four cards are getting their powers from
our first psu here and those two are our new cards one of them is gigabyte one of
them is msi both of them 3060 ti's and for now we're only using the
half of power outputs of the new psu i'm saving the other half for our next
two empty slots here so i will power them up in a bit and i will show you the hiveos screen
also what kind of overclock settings i'm doing they're not set in stone i'm just doing
tryouts for now we'll see together i think we are ready to go let's flip the switch
boom switch one oh this also lighted up so it's feeding back to this board okay we heard the sound smell test no weird smell fans are running okay let's see what's
going on in our hive os refresh the page there we go we have six cards on stock
settings as you can see order has changed and our clock settings are
at like default settings our load average is 1.45 now we
are consuming one kilowatt 1.05 and they started running they started
mining our fourth card is 3070 and the rest is 3060 ti's yeah so i will set um i will set one four zero
watts power limit for all of them for starters and for the memory clock and
core clock i'm gonna leave them empty for now we're gonna click save now the workers are
updated you see on stock they're drawing like 190 watts the tdp value that's
what i mentioned in the last video we're going to draw everything they can and we
got to stop them by limiting our maximum power by setting a power limit now
they're gonna there you go now they're drawing 140 watts maximum
these are the percentages of the fans and these are the temperatures of the card so these last two are the ones we just
installed there you go this is gigabyte and this is msi since we didn't apply any overclocks
so they're a bit low for 360 ti's i was getting in average like 44 45 mega hash and
for 30 70 i was getting 45 46 mega hash i will set all the core clocks to minus 500
for starters i'll just do one by one okay now it's sending the settings the values are showing up they're all
set to -500 core the reason we do this is we are mining ethereum we are using eight
hash algorithm he attach only uses memories so we don't need the core to throw unnecessary power or
create unnecessary heat as we go yeah so i started having this auto stop issue again with this
error gpu driver error no attempts so i backed down on all of my overclocks again just set
the power limits to 130 to see what's going on right what the fuck? we just applied
power limit with no overclocks now i just turned on the rig and we're seeing like
36 37 40 something something of values maybe i will do the overclock settings for the first four
cards they already had good settings that i used so i might as well apply overclock to them but
the the new two cards i won't apply any overclock for now i'll just apply a power limit and let it
run if it doesn't come up with this error again we'll see so the cards kept giving me errors and i think the reason is because for like a
stress test i packed all six cards together at the start but apparently it was causing a
lot of heat and this bad boy this big guy was at the very end this is the worst performing card
temperature wise asus and it was right at the end so the cards when i checked the fan speeds and
temperatures they were getting best to worse from right to left and this was at the
very end and its fans were running like 99 still it was struggling to keep the heat so i
separated the cards like this in three groups i already ordered extra standard pc fans i ordered
four of them i'm gonna put them here when they arrive and hopefully create some extra airflow
in between carts you can see i wouldn't consider this one as very tight this one's a bit tight
this one i wouldn't also consider very tight so our spacing is generally okay in my opinion the only
thing we are missing are the extra fence because we are at that point right now they are generating
so much heat they are affecting each other uh before when i had four cards they had good
spacing between them now i don't have that luxury so yeah i will keep them probably in stock
settings and when the fans arrive i will try overclocking them again so this time it
wasn't the wrong overclock values in my opinion it was uh the heat issue and that was the error
i was getting apparently so they're i think comfortable running like this i will leave them
as they are and just wait for the extra pc fans so it's 2 a.m i couldn't sleep obviously and yeah
it's it's the heat it's the heat that was causing the errors so in the end i managed to pinpoint the
two cards that were getting the most of the heat and i defined them it's one of them is this one
galakuro currently i switched its place with asus now asus is not the worst performing it's
actually overclocked even by then it's not the worst performing card and i only overclocked
the ones that doesn't have any heat issue this one msi juventus 2x and golokuro
they're getting the most of the heat so i just left them in stock memory
clock and reduced their power to 120 just in case in when i'm at work in
them in the morning if they get overheat and cause the mining rig to stop i don't want
that so i just limited those two to 120 watts i will keep them like this if they're gonna
perform stably until the extra fans arrive so these are my settings for now
and i think i'm happy with that so i went on youtube i watched some videos
about what i should do and i saw a turkish guy recommending to buy this small card this is 12 volts in 12 volts out regulator you can
regulate the output voltage from this small thingy so i have a 220 volts city voltage to
12 volts 2 amperes dc voltage converter this adapter i connected this to the input
and i connected the fans to the output we connected the adapter to 12 volts as you see
we can see a light on it now so i will slowly give the fans some voltage now slowly and there we go there's our first
action and the second one and the others are coming in there we go voila we have our
fans working now i'm going to attach these fans to these parts of the support and push the air
towards the gpus are hopefully final setting for the mining rig i mean of course i'm going
to change this wooden bench but other than that all of our gpus are installed their powers are
connected so we are i believe good to go i already resetted all of the settings to stock
settings because i don't want to get any more load average faults
hopefully everything's smelling okay everything's lighting up we heard the
system booting up so let's check our hive os let's refresh hiveos page boom we have eight
gpus we have eight gpus oh my god this is this is where i wanted to be since the beginning
so exciting and the miner just just got shut down all right could be the ups i just connected and
the load value could have exceeded that ups so i'm gonna have to probably disconnect it okay
the rig has been running for a couple minutes stably with no overclocks just power limits
to 140 watts and uh yeah i think we're good i just need to buy a surge protection instead of
a psu i've been using that psu just to protect my uh desktop pc i will keep using it like that and i
will buy a surge protection for the rig instead so it's been one and a half months since i recorded
my last video work and life got in the way there has been a few changes in the
system since i've recorded my last video not in the system per se but i
i bought this surge protection i also bought this wi-fi plug which i
can track my electrical consumption from it's great it has a mobile phone app which i can
track my daily and monthly usage from um i tried using external risers i bought three of them
somehow for some reason i couldn't make it work when i plugged these in the motherboard just
wouldn't boot up so i gave up on this um i still haven't connected any keyboards or
monitors to my motherboard i didn't feel the need to do so because hiveos is pretty easy and it
did everything for me so far without having to need to connect a keyboard or a monitor the rig
has been pretty consistent the only issues i had so far were heat related because some of the
cars can take the heat better than the others so these are the worst performers that's why i put
them at like the coolest part of the motherboard i can say and these are the most durable
ones so this guy is the worst the asus this is the worst and the second worst is actually
a gigabytes three fan model which is insane but it is what it is sometimes you get
silicon lottery sometimes you don't and yeah so it's been one and a half months yesterday i had my first payout 0.255 ethereum
which had like nine dollars of transaction fee which is okay and it's been 45 days
since i started mining but the reason i got 0.255 so late it was supposed to be like
35 days or so uh because i had electrical cuts i had uh internet cuts we have a dog in
our apartment which we adopted, a puppy he just chewed on the cable the ethernet
cable and one of my mining day was just gone so these kind of things had me delayed pay out but
from now on i think it will be pretty consistent and i will show you my hive os page
again um in time maybe i can do a problems and solutions video rather than just
making the video about setup and stuff so yeah this is pretty much it and i'm going to upgrade
this wooden rig chassis to a better metal one in the future still but i'm too too lazy to do that
right now maybe after i move back to my hometown all right let's jump to hive os screen these are my pretty stable overclock values starting from 3070 all the way down to 3060 ti's 3070 has 2.4
gigahertz memory clock 140 power 140 watts power you see all the cars are 140 but one of
them is 130 because this is msi ventus 2x which is my worst performing card i don't know
why all of these hash rates are pretty good but this guy is not acting like the other
3060s i don't know why i really don't know it's pretty okay though just five mega hash
of a loss one card no big deal for me honestly uh and it's not like going above 120 watts most
of the times maybe it's the bios of this card but i don't want to mess things up five mega hash
of a loss is not that big of a loss for me right now and yeah the fans are working at 65 up to 100
now and i set the temperature limit to 68 degrees which is pretty fine as you can see the asus card
is operating at 49 degrees which is the first one as i said and the rest is sitting at around 60
to 65 67 degrees and i just realized you know the mining rig is a really good ambient heater
so i'm using it as an ambient heater right now i'm not heating up the room with this uh
natural gas heater the whole room is getting heated up by this little guy here nice thing
to keep in your room in the winter times yep all right guys thank you for your great responses
for the first video please comment share and like and keep following i might do some other
videos crypto related videos and we might see some subject change in this
channel okay see you guys have fun MUSIC: Slash Minus – Bioshock
