Miner: 6x 1060 GPU Miner Parts (Shown; Alternatives Below): CPU: MOBO: Frame: Risers: RAM: PSU: GPUs: Switch: Hard Drive: Price: About $2200 (excluding frame) Software: Simple Mining ( )-Learn how to install and utilize this software. Algorithm & Coins: Equihash (ZEN, ZEC, BTG) This guide will walk through how to build a DIY 6x 1060 GPU miner using the above parts, but the steps will be very similar using other graphics cards, motherboards, PSUs, etc. Assemb le your Frame: For this build, we used this, which was really easy to assemble. It wasn’t the best quality, but it got the job done.

For a better quality frame that requires minimal assembly, check out for a few good options. I got an open air frame here and absolutely loved it. You can read my review of it. 2. Mount the Motherboard: If you’re using a standard motherboard, you should be able to line up the six holes on the motherboard to the frame you’re using. Most frames come with screws for motherboard installation. Screw these into the six main holes on the motherboard.

Don’t screw these in too tight; just make sure the board is snug on the frame. If you screw too tight, you could damage the board. Install the CPU: You’ll notice the CPU has two little rounded ears on two sides. These will line up on the motherboard. Don’t try to force it or you will break it. Insert into the cpu slot, close the cover, and push the latch back and under the slot on the board.

(Tip: Your CPU might come with a plastic back on the card. You don’t have to remove this. It will pop right off when you install it.) 4. Install the CPU fan: The G4400 CPU comes with a fan with pre applied thermal paste, which made installation super easy. If your CPU fan doesn’t have thermal paste, you will need to buy some.

We recommend. Line up the fan over the CPU on the motherboard and lock the fan into the board. Then plug the fan into the CPU fan pins on your board. Easy Way To Mine Einsteinium EMC2. Be sure to tuck your wires using the clip on the side of the fan so your wires don’t hit when the rig is turned on.

Plug the fan into the CPU fan slot on the board. Install your RAM: We install your RAM in the farthest slot from the middle of the board. The serial number will be on the back side, facing the majority of the board. There’s a divet in the middle that will line right up. Clip it in using the clips on the side of the RAM. Install your PSU: This frame came with predrilled holes for a dual PSU setup.

We’re just installing one on this board today, so you’ll want to line up the holes on the back of the PSU to the holes on the frame. The frame came with screws so we used those to install the PSU. Plug in your Cables: The first cable you’ll want to plug into the motherboard is the MOBO cable because it is the biggest/thickest cable and will be harder to maneuver once all the other cables are installed. The cable is labeled MOBO; plug it into the MOBO spot on the PSU and the MOBO spot on the motherboard.

Workername I setup under 'Hub Workers' which was setup for just ZenCash. The mining software will tell you. Optional settings>coin>Zencash(ZEN). Best ZenCash Mining Pool. For my small 1060 GPU mining rig. About 10 days ago I started mining ZenCash. I first setup and used the MiningSpeed Zencash Pool. Mining Hardware Comparison. ZenCash GPU Mining Rig Setup. Thinking of mining ZenCash with your ethereum mining rig? This is how I set up my GPU miner to mine ZenCash. Zencash (ZEN) Hash rate. H/s Block reward. ZEN Difficulty. Pool fee% Exchange rate. BTC Cost $/kWh. Hardware cost $ BTC value. Simple Mining Setup; We created ZenPool to be the fastest and lowest latency ZenCash pool available.

The second cable you’ll want to install is the CPU cable. Same thing, plug into the CPU spot on the PSU and the CPU spot on the motherboard. Prepare the Risers: Your risers will come with four parts: the riser, the USB cable, the SATA connector, and the piece that plugs into the board. You’ll want to plug all of the USB cables into the part that plugs into the board.

Put these and the SATA cables off to the side; you’ll need them soon. Install the Risers: Usually, we’d mount them onto the frame.

This frame didn’t have spots to screw the risers in, so we’ll be attaching the GPUs to the risers and screwing the GPUs into the top rack on the frame. If your frame has a spot, this is when you should screw the risers in.

Make sure you install the risers so the USB is facing the board. If you would like to take your build a step further you could ideally drill holes and mount the risers onto the frame as opposed to just being locked onto the GPU and mounting only the GPU onto the frame. Install the Graphics Cards: Insert your graphics cards into the risers. Make sure to have the metal top part of the card sitting on the top part of the frame and screw them in as you go; do not over tighten. This frame in particular had eight spots for cards and we only installed six cards, so we spaced them out, leaving spaces on either side of the two middle cards. Middle cards get the hottest so we wanted to give more air flow around the middle two.

Plug in your Risers: Using the USB cable and the connector you put aside earlier, plug each USB into each riser and then plug the other end into the GPU slots on the motherboard. Nexus NXS Mining Gpus. Install your SATA Cables into the Risers: With this setup we’re going to have each SATA cable power two risers.

So plug the SATA cords you got with your risers into each riser and then plug those into the SATA cords that came with your PSU into the SATA connectors in the PSU. Again, use one cable from the PSU for every two risers to help with wire management.

(DISCLAIMER: ideally you would power PCIE risers with pcie cables however we safely and successfully run many rigs with SATA powered risers, never power more than two risers with one SATA cable.) 13. Install your PCIE Cables: Our EVGA 750W Platinum PSU comes with two SATA cables that have a standard 6+2 plus the 6-pin cable on one end. We’re going to use those to power two GPUs with one cable. Wire Management: Zipties are an easy, inexpensive way to tidy your wires and cords. Install USB Hard Drive: Plug in your USB hard drive into the blue USB port on the motherboard. Check this to learn how to install and use the software on a USB. We used Simple Mining (smOS) for this rig build and got around 1850 sols.

January 10, 2018 at 3:08 am Hey Cryptochick hoping you and vosk can help me with an issue I’m having. I recently built a “duo” mining rig with the 1070ti sc x2.

Vosk recently did a review on the 1070ti and was getting 4.7 sols/watt however mine are getting around 2.67 sols/watt. I am using nvoc and set configured the whole thing though Linux. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Literally brand new to the game waiting to ROI one of the cards so I can get a third 1070ti and make it a trio.

Thanks for the input and thank you both for all that you do for the crypto community!
