going on everyone and today we're
going to be looking at a parts list to build yourself your very
own ultimate cpu mining rig what's going on everyone Rabid here hopefully
you're all having a great day and today i'm going to be going over my parts list for my own
cpu mining rigs now a lot of people have been asking me what do i need how can i build these
rigs we've done a lot of build videos but you guys are wondering what parts specifically do i
have to get so i'm going to show you what all i actually do use the link for that all will be on
my website i made a blog post for it a few minutes before this video so the link to that and links
to buy everything will be in the description below first things first uh if you're running intel you
can run intel all you want but i myself go with the ryzen cpus 3900x 3950x 5900x and 5950x now
i do prefer 3000 series verizon's over the 5000 series because they are last gen and they hash
pretty much the same as the current 5000 series but you can find them much cheaper because gamers
and whatnot always want the latest gear just because it has a higher and newer number so you
can find those 3000 series cpus much much cheaper i do have these two rigs on nhd15 coolers and
these things are totally overkill for what we are running if you want to maximize your hash rate and
run totally unefficiently then i would recommend one of these because you will have to overclock
your cpu quite quite a bit there to get what you do want to get out of it but when it comes to
actually mining at a nice efficient setting myself i prefer 3.6 gigahertz at 1 volt and the stock
cooler is 100 fine i don't ever see temperatures over 56 degrees celsius unless you live in a
desert or something then you may run into some issues on this test bench here i'm even running
a 3950x with the stock 3900x cooler and it has no issues keeping this cpu cool whatsoever now which
cpu should you actually get in the horizon lineups i prefer the 3900x or the 3950x cpus now all six
of these are 3900 x's i do have another shelf it is black they did not have the silver anymore
it is made to the exact same layout as this shelf and i plan on possibly filling this one up with
six 3950x rigs now whether i can find them at a decent price is another question because i always
look for nice used deals now you can see here i am not running any gpu everything is running
in hive os and for that to run headless keep in mind you will need at least one gpu something so
you can set up your bios for hive os and if you do plan on running in windows i would recommend
a gpu or at least a cheap little gt710 for all your motherboards that way you can see what you're
actually doing in windows you could remote in but that can be a pain depending what your setup is
but these x 470 msi gaming plus max motherboards are what i totally use 100 you do not have to
change anything in the bios to get these things to run headless once you do set it up uh i just got
a comment on my last video there that someone has an x 570 gaming plus motherboard and they changed
over and they got it to work by changing um you go into your bios there and there's a setting
that says uh what is it like bypass or skip vga whatever it is and it will allow you to boot he
said he got his working i do not have any x570 msi boards to test that for you but that is something
in the comments but myself i prefer the x470 gaming plus max you do not have any bios updates
needed it is right out of the box ready for the 3900 and the 3950 cpu as for ram i do use g skill
flare x it is cl 14 round and i can't find any eight gigabyte total so like four gigabyte sticks
so i am running 16 gigabytes this is the cheapest cl 14 ram at 8 nano seconds that i can find so
this is what i run i do find that cl 14 two sticks in dual channel mode is the sweet spot when it
comes to cpu mining you can get away with cl 16 in that blog post as well i go over cl 16 and cl
14.
I have a couple videos of testing hash rates on xmr as well as raptorium down at the bottom of
that blog with all the links to all these parts so you can check them out if you have not seen them
yet you can see my actual comparison but cl 14 is the sweet spot running dual channel when it comes
into cpu mining at least for these ryzens you are going to need a hard drive now cheap m2s will work
as well but i just prefer the nice kingston here 120 gigabyte ssds gpu rises also has 64 gigabyte
ssds which works 100 fine code robin mining will grant you 10 off anything at gpurizers.com as well
as gpurisers.uk but yeah i use these are slightly more money than by like maybe five bucks more than
a traditional flash drive but these are much much faster especially when it comes to updating
hive os or updating nvidia drivers or some so an ssd is highly recommended which brings us to
our power supplies now i do use 750 watt evga g3s because i find them all over amazon at
decent deals but if you can't find them you can get anything like 450 watts 500 watts because
cpu mining does not use too too much power if you're running on nice efficient settings though
i have seen these get up to about 280 watts when you do totally overclock them but when you have a
nice under bolted you run maybe 120 130 watts max depending on the algorithm you are doing so a nice
low power power supply is 100 fine i am working on a way to use server power supply i'm getting a
bunch of different pico switches and what not in and once i do get it actually working that video
will come out because i do plan on hopefully if everything goes according to plan here i will be
running six uh cpu mining rigs off a single 1200 watt server power supply and that will free up
you know a whole bunch of these pdu slots that are in cut and taken up by each individual atx
power supply so i would like to run six of these off a single server power supply just to make a
lot of room there'll be less heat also coming out of these and a whole bunch of better factors just
a lot more cable management be easier to maintain all right guys so that's just a quick video here
on my cpu mining power so if any of you guys are curious these are 3d printed motherboard standoffs
so no you cannot buy them anywhere people are asking me if i can sell them i don't know even
know if i'm allowed because i found those files on things verse so i don't know if you're legally
allowed to sell those or not but if you do have a 3d printer just check up things verse and you can
find these 15 millimeter motherboard standoffs and they work 100 fine these work amazing actually so
look at that just get nine of them in there and it covers everything up very well supported
indeed so this does sum up this video guys again link in the description to all these parts
you can just click and it'll take you straight to where i do purchase these items and i hope this
helps you to build your own cpu mining rig as well on the bottom block again i do have how to
build uh cpu mining rig tutorial so check everything out on that blog post thanks for
watching guys hit that subscribe button i'll catch you on the next one rabid out thank you
for watching everyone if you haven't please comment subscribe and like this video as well as
check out one of these other videos if you have not seen it yet i do try to stream every saturday
and sunday so stay tuned for more future content
