Great video panda! Very helpful info!
Config 6 is the way to go. Get the Veteran Minor to make you some decent length splitters. It would be super reliable.
I'd support the veteran miner and go that route. It's a win-win for both of you!
Config 4. You don't need 16 pico's, just 8. You can use an ATX PSU to power one rig and use one of the 6pin PCI-E to power a pico for a second rig.
Always go with what you have on hand to save money on your ROI and to get running quicker. But if you know you need all the other stuff in the future, you might as well just buy what you need to replace from what you salvage
Whole thing is to get up and running quicker than everybody else cause you’re not the only one doing this
Running config 6 make more sense, since you have already most of the required parts. This is what I did. Thanks again for the video , interesting options/dilemma moving forward …
A decent way to do it is put 5 CPU rigs onto a 1200w server power supply. Just need a 300W Pico for each of them.
You can get 300W pic's that are supplied by a normal 4 pin ATX (2x2, not 1x4). Then you can make cables that go from 6 pin PCIE to 4 pin ATX. I go one step further and make a dedicated 8 pin CPU power using the 2 unused pins from the first cable plus 6 from a 2nd 6 pin cable. Works great and Mines stable. Can power off single rig using a simple power switch (hold down until power down)
I run ATX with Y Splitters. Cheap and gets the job done. 2 rigs powered by minimum gold rated PSUs.
I use the 300w pico PSU for 100% of all my CPU rigs except the EPYCs I have. Mount a Bitmain 1600w PSU in the center of a wire rack, then hook into these. I run 8 CPU rigs per PSU. Any of them that are too far apart, you can get a 6pin to 6pin extender really cheap.
the 24 pin splitter is 12 bucks off amazon, canadian, i buy used evga or corsair psus that are 700 watt minimum witht he two 8 pin cpu cables. they can be had cheap.
I'm already using 750w/850w psus with 24 pins splitters and it works really good, I think you should take a look at where you will put all the cpu mining stuff, will be easier to managed how and what kind of psu you should utilize, related to the space and cable management.
Config 7, take out one GPU per mining rig attach CPU mother board to the side of the GPU mining rack. Run both units with existing hardware
I use config 6 -- repurposing old mining rigs -- was using 5/6 pcie b450 and ryzen 5/3600 during boom with one of 1 to4 pcie splitters. Rock solid set up. Mining boards were just way too expensive.
you got some SICK motherboards 😎😎
Few power supply like 750 watt or 850 watt if you check backside of the SMPS you can see 2 CPU connection slots means with 1 SMPS you can connect 2 motherboard you will see CPU 1 CPU 2 written in back of SMPS
1200W server PSU with 3x or 4x of the 300W PCIE pico power adapter. I have my cpu rigs hanging from a wire-frame rack. Good density and airflow.
Id be putting 4 MB on each 850w psu. Split, split, split!
With 4 cpus tuned at 110w each that puts you in the goldilocks zone of efficiency on each psu. Ive never had a splitter get hot doing this. And ran 5 5900x on one psu all year. Not a single issue. Tried 6, but it was tripping the psu, 4 would be absolutely NO issue.
You just need 4 psu of 850w each, 2 8 pin cpu cables coming off the psu, 2 8 pin cpu splitters and 3 24 pin splitters per rig.
I use amazon plastic picture holders to prob the boards up. Just dont buy gold ones guys, i like the gold ones
assuming you run 3 -24 pin splitter -- and 2 cpu spitters?
How do you deal with powering them on, do you remove the power pin on the 24pin connector that turns the PSU on from all but one motherboard? Or does that not matter
@AcpEngineering once you set "restore power after power loss" to enable, when you cycle the psu the mb will turn on. No tricks, no messing with pins
@@andrewjones198 ah I gotcha. Thanks!
@@andrewjones198 So you just daisy chain 24 pin splitters? Isn't this dangerous for the splitters being daisy chained, especially the first one? I thought of doing the same but afraid of burning down my garage. Which 24 pin splitters you using?
Config 6 is what I use as I find it nice and simple easy plug and play cable management is not too bad as long as there Modular psu's but go with what makes sense to you and is most cost effective buddy 👍
server PSUs and picos for sure.
those ATX splitters only work reliably if you have identical motherboards and identical BIOS settings. I've been there, done that.
From 2018 until early 2022 I ran HP server PSUs, along with Parallel Miner (PM) X11s and PM PICOs. I never had any issue with any of their products. Until I switched to Octominers, I always ran the PM products for power. One thing I noticed about the Dell 1400w PSU, the fans are louder than the HP 1200w fans. In any case, go which ever route is cheapest for you, this is about making money... sure you need to make content too, so maybe show everyone how to set it up each way, in different combinations. But for the majority, the cheapest route, being you already own the hardware.
I have server PSU's with breakout boards and Pico ATX's running GPU mining rigs and they have proven to be reliable. I'm planning to swap the motherboards for CPU mining ones to improve the efficiency. I'm thinking to swap to ATX PSU's simply because the server PSU's get noisy under load.
Я вважаю, що ти маєш використовувати ті комплектуючі, що в тебе вже є. Тим більше, що ти маєш гарні ПС блоки живлення. Pico PSU має свій коефіцієнт користої дії для перетворення напруги, також це додатковий фактор поломки. Спліттери навряд зламаються, а якщо відійде контакт, буде дуже легко продзвонити вдома і все. Звичайно, їх ціна завелика, але якщо на замовлення ти домовишся дешевше, то тим більше.
When iam plug out the GPU my motherboard wont turn on. Help what must i do? Iam using msi b450 a pro max
Legit bro I just get 500w thermal takes for 39$ and they work fantastic
I just recieved a huge bag of splitters. Can run up to 6 cpu rigs on one atx psu if you get a good one. I like evga and corsair.
Are you using managed PDU’s? Individual ATX would allow you to hard cycle them remotely if needed. I personally prefer to power each one individually and not trying to bridge power across multiple boards
i agree with retromike here, tried both ways , with some cheap EVGA psus available in amzon and newegg, its better to power each rig individually
I have 10 3900x rigs and I have done most of those options. I’m going to agree with both you guys that having a single PSU per rig has ended up being the least amount of headaches for me
config 6 is great, but option 5 is more flexible in placement, the 24 pin splitter is short
How reliable are these used PSUs? I've seen the same make/model at a 15$ and 90$ ... what's the difference in your opinion?
I never had any problems with pico boards hooked up to a breakout board
I think it depends on how you're going to have these spread out. The challenge with config 6 will be the length of those splitters. If you think that's going to be a problem, then I'd go with config 4. More PSUs, but more flexibility with cable management.
#6 with a ~180tdp gpu on each board profit switching
if you still have open frame gpu mining rig rep the bord and cpu of them then you can mine both gpu cpu on same rig
Red Panda Mining i know you are going todo what you already plan todo, however in CPU mining its to have less connection points, so i would #4 or #6 and yes #7 would be best one to one ATX per rig and you already have 8+ ATX so only 8 more or less would be needed, but that’s just me; i do not like to share power between systems but i also have two GPUs directly on my CPU rigs so i can do both CPU and GPU spec mining.
GO for setup 6 is the most cost effective with the less point of failures
I think they make atx splitters so you can run multiple motherboards with one psu
config 6 seems the best. less parts to go bad and cheaper for you.
Config 7, 3u rack cases . You can get 14 in a rack that way...and they are standard
Try out the 1,400 watt Dell psu’s. Never used them before but so they’re so cheap I think it’s worth trying. I am going to order a few today as well to see how well they work.
I say use what you got to keep costs done but for your amount of rigs I would say he server psu's with a breakout board and the pico.
I run 6 GPUs and 1 CPU (I use a motherboard with 6 PCI-E slots. I use one miner for CPU and one for the GPU. Think about this method, too
i have 9 rigs running on 300W picos for months already. Never have any issues. if you will use ATX PSU you will have less connections and way cleaner look then server PSUs. I try using 24pin splitters but never work for me properly... lots of bios resets need to be done. my vote is fore CONFIG 5
i personally like the server psu option
Go with the safest and most reliable. To have a headache and fire risk isn’t worth the couple hundred savings
I like how you call CPU mining-ready motherboards mining rigs 😝😜🙈
what do you mean by how? any way that works, watts are watts, the most efficient way is the best way of course.
Config 6 for shure
Since you already have the atx psus it seems like the cheapest and the most reliable/ efficient configuration
I'd rather not use the pico psu's
Take the challenge. Do #1 Dell Server PSU
Dude I got a 1600watt, EVGA for like $189 from NewEgg all cables bag box everything looks like new
Config 6 with veteran miner longer splitter cables
Some people use nano or pico supplies… but I prefer just regular supplies
this
Do 24 pin splitters for the lols
Those $89 hp psu's on paralel miner, I am buying 2 for $30 on ebay
2x 2000w dell psu
2x x15 boards
16x pico 300w psu
16x 12” 16 awg pcie cable
Grab used intel, or dell branded psu. They have 300-400w versions, and all are silver or gold rated. All very reliable because office use. Cheap on used market.
But you have already very good power supplies use them. Don’t buy new ones. No need for them.
I think those pico adapters are dangerous! 1 cpu power cable is rated for 150W and one pcie power cable is 75 watts so how in the world are you going enough watts for the whole motherboard, cpu, riser, and whatever else out of one pcie 6 pin port? That thing is going to start a fire!
keep it simple . config 6 is my vote . USA
I would use config6, your margins are thin, the Dell PSU's are loud.
I just can't see running the 3900x rig at 145 watts something is not right, 120 to 125 watts max i could see. 145 watts is not efficient hash per watt
Buy 300W Power Supply, The Cost is around 10-15 USD with Shipping to US! cables are CHEAP!
Config 6- no need to incur extra cost bro
buy 450W suply for each and add 1 gpu to all rigs :) ismoke most of those piko . .there ary not for heavy load . .
I run 3 rigs per 1 550w psu
i would rather buy 450-500 watt cooler master psu, they have 5 years warranty, have resale value, cost around 20-30 bucks
I just stick to 6 card rigs with a ryzen set up… kill two birds with one stone?
ask rabbid
Use unmineable, pays more then nicehash by at minimum 20%
Config 6, I don’t trust the Pico. I don’t and will never use the Pico.
i have an easier solution :
sell all of them and buy EPYC
Waste of space , just build open frame rigs with gpus , and use your old psu's
🚀 You might need to check your math again. For example, Config5 needs 4x Picos. Config4 needs 8x Picos. My opinion, get 4x Y splitters and 4x Picos to test. But even better I would make the 24pin Y splitter with the Veteran Miner ✅🤌
