going on everyone and today we're going to be doing a little makeover to all my cpu mining
rigs so as you can see i am using these white standoffs right now but i have a couple brackets
here by couple i don't know there's probably about 20 or so so i'm going to be throwing all
of these onto these on top of changing my power connectors over and you know just do a little
makeshift makeover here and see exactly how it does turn out so we are gonna go from this to this
so what's going on everyone and welcome to the Rabid Mining YouTube channel be sure to hit that
subscribe button thumbs up and bell notification to be notified for future videos well to start
off here i do want to be throwing on these style brackets right here so let's kind of look at what
we got going on so see how they're kind of sitting there it's also going to flip everything 180 so
that the cooler is going to be on the bottom i originally did have found one out on things
verse but it did not really want to work you would have had to have your motherboard the other way
it would have the cooler on the top making it more top heavy so actually a community member i
believe it's kia enigma adventure adventures did make these for me so he put the rm in the bottom
corners here we'll take a look at later on but instead of having three wide like i do on this
shelf because that one rig three did go into my server but instead of having three across this way
i could potentially stack them up this way and then maybe kind of fit three in a line or kind
of be it like this or something ultimately you know you could double or triple the amount of room
that everything is needed so i could throw pretty much six rigs for the same amount of space
as three rigs so we're gonna see if that happens and if this works according to plan
well enjoy the profitability guys i'm about to hit the power button
and bam there we go so this power supply is running these two rigs down here and these
three rigs up here move on over to the next ones i gotta start killing the power to these bam bam
bam bam so all my cpus are now currently offline so what do i actually have for cpu so
this whole shelf here is all 3 900 x's those two down there are 3 900 x's and these two up here
are 3950x ryzen cpus so i do have this nice kit here that is loaded up full of screws which has
pretty much any screw you do need when it comes to any type of pc builds mining builds whatever
so you are going to need your standoff screws so i hopefully i do have enough in here to utilize all
my rigs for those little brackets but i guess we'll find out as we go along so i have one
mostly done i've still got to change some wiring but i kind of show you what i got going on here
so as you can see with this one it's using an m2 drive so the ssd holder is not needed
but here these are the brackets right here then if you move it over you can see that that ssd
does screw right into the side so it has a little mount there for your ssd
and everything's going pretty much like this so all the room this thing really takes
is you know this line here so essentially you can keep putting them back to back and save up a lot
more area so i also run these off 300 watt pico adapters and that gives me the ability to utilize
this 1200 watt server power supply for multiple cpu mountable rigs now i am using these barrel
plugs right here these are five millimeter if i can get a focus 5 millimeter to 2.5 millimeter now
a lot of people order 2.1 millimeter and this melts very fast so i did have one rig that started
to melt right at the end here over the course of a few months but again i'm going to be changing
these out to these bad boys right here because i do plan on actually moving these up from 3.6
up to 3.8 gigahertz in terms of uh overclock settings so these are anderson plugs they are
rated for 30 amp all the way up to 600 volts we are going to be using only 12 volt remember
it's a 12 volt rail that does power these so these are good for about 320 to 340 watts or so
so we should easily be able to power our rigs safely coming in with those 300 watt picos if
you're unfamiliar with anderson plugs you are going to need this special crimper here i will
have a link in the description but right now it's in lock so i'm just going to unlock it
and depending on the gauge of your wire and the plugs you're using you are going to have to use a
certain spot on this crimper and simply you just put it in there once you got your wires ready
push it down once and it's set so it's pretty easy to use fairly basic but i'll show you when i do
get to it so here is my barrel plug to the pico i was using i just took the obviously the wires at a
psu end here you can see this one's actually kind of stuck so this one was starting to get close to
i guess failing per se so all i'm going to do here though is actually cut it off this male end
right here or of this barrel plug so probably around this area so we'll just give it a chop
in here there we go nice so now i'm just going to strip back these wires
and actually get ready to put these into the anderson plug themselves so we're going to go
through the crimping process right quick here and this is 14 gauge wire this is from parallel miner
so it's good for you know a decent amount of power draw we're just going to put our little end onto
here this is the anderson plug or delio we're going to need our actual crimper so you can see
right on here we have 15 30 and 45 amps so these are for 30 amp these ends so we're just going to
open it up and you can see there's a little slot in there so we're just going to have to get this
inside there it's going to hold like so and now we just simply push it down bam we're done
there it is look at that nice perfect crimp this thing is set perfect for it everything's good
obviously you can do your own little pool test or a pull test so let's get this out of the
way so we can do that hopefully it doesn't come apart but yeah you can see that's nice and tight
so that's step one so i went ahead and crimped our negative as well and the next step is actually
putting on our connector ends themselves so this is the end right here that actually goes
in to the other one and this is the one you got to insert into the housing so simply
you look to where the rail is you put this end down into it like so and then you just push it
in until you hear a nice click so we're just gonna kind of wiggle it around till we find it there we
go and there clicked in we're good so this is now locked into place the tip's there and we're
all good this one's already so i do have both of them on we got our positive and our negative
make sure you when you do the other end have your positive negative together to match so you know
you put your red into red and you're black and the black don't just start throwing things together or
things may get mixed up and you could run into some issues potential fires okay so this is what
i do have so far and this whole bottom shelf now no longer has any more rigs looks like i could fit
six up here i'm not sure if i'm gonna put that one right here yet or not but for the most part
i think i'm just gonna go up to here for now and then i'll figure out what to do with those 3950xs
and those two rigs right there some other time but i did run into one issue i went to
boot all these up and you can see i'm missing a rig in the back here and it happened to be
kind of a pain to get at but rig four which was that one so we have rig one two three actually
rig three is my server one so i gotta skip that number and renumber stuff but so we got
one two four there's rig five he's hiding in the back you know keeping his cool and stuff and
then we got rig six here so rig four which was there i accidentally hit the clear cmos button
at least that's what i'm hoping happened so i got to take this over go to the test bench reset the
bios and everything up which i'll show you how to do for mine i'm going to set it to 3.8 at one volt
and hopefully that fixes the issue so that one is missing now and then i'll get that back in
there once i tweak it okay so we booted it up here and this is what we got so pretty
much like a fresh install but it does say devices change cpu or memory or cmos has been cleared so
we know what's going on here this cmos was cleared in this case i knew in one of these
rigs i did hit a button wasn't sure which one and i was just hoping i didn't hit it long enough but
this is the one and yes this cmos is cleared so let's tweak this bios to the settings i
actually want to use so here we are in the bios guys so if you know this is something
you've never seen before this is it i'm sure most of you seen this if you're running your
rigs in hiveos or something when it comes to cpu mining this is where you set all your overclock
type of settings now this is stating them at 3.8 uh that's essentially where i left it so i don't
know what's going on here these are seeing the same maybe it just got rid of my actual
boot setting so i'm just gonna try to find that here so we're gonna go to advanced here in system
look for power management setup and it looks like restart up their ac power losses power
off so yeah we definitely need this on so that was not saved so let's just see what else we got here
uh let's go back back oc settings so we're in our overclock settings here we're on all core this is
set at auto cpu configurations okay so maybe it's not set so let's just apply an all chord
to this operation do we want to go insert per uh we don't have to we're just doing all chords
we can just store our ratio so i guess it's just default what the okay so we're at 3.8 now
uh everything's 3800 so 3.8 gigahertz i do want one volt on the voltage so we do not want to run
default if you run default then you're pretty much running like say a pbo whatever the default pbo
type of settings are and that is not recommended so we got to find the cpu core voltage that is
right here it's currently in auto and we want to override that and drop this down to one volt
bam there we go so i probably get away with something a little bit lower but i am going
to use one we're going to be using 3.8 now dram i do leave the xmp profiles off if you
do want to crank this up obviously you can set it individually like so up to 3200 that's what this
one is but i'm just leaving that 2400 i do find you get a higher hash to watt ratio which means
you are using less power and maximizing your hash rate now you will get more hash rate
um overclocking your ram a bit more but it does take more power than what it's actually worth
again hash to what ratio here so 3.8 one volt restore after ac power loss this is all i need
to do in here i'm gonna hit f10 and save this okay so now that it's off i'm gonna hit this
power button and hopefully everything should turn on don't worry i'm 100 confident it will because
that's just how you do this stuff bam and look at that it is on 100 so we can pull the power
button off and set this back up and get her going okay guys so there we have it i got most of it
complete these i'm still gonna decide what i want to do here but let's just go over
what exactly went on so i have five sitting here i could probably get away with six over here
but for now i'm just gonna go with five as you can see everything is running and all these rigs
are running off this single server power supply so look at all the room that's actually saved
here so in in theory you know before i had three you know six you could fit 12 between the two
doing everything like this i could fit 24 rigs between these two shelves actually if i you start
using the tops of these as well i could fit a lot more but i essentially can double up the amount of
rigs i have in the same amount of space going from three to six this pdu may make things a little bit
tricky here but we'll see what happens in the future but for the most part we got this done
everything's running there i do plan on running everything off a server power supply because it
will free up so many more plugs look at that look at all that four rigs is using up all those power
supplies where these five is only utilizing that single 1200 watt now i could throw a 1500 watt in
there i do have one and potentially run everything off of that one power supply i have enough 300
watt picos to do it uh you know i have enough cables and everything for it so maybe i will do
that we'll see what happens in the future what i run into now remember depending what you're mining
and you know how you're running your cpus for the most part the way i run mine i believe on like xmr
these are only using about 109 watts raptorium the majority around the 87 watt range and on
something like say i don't even know something that peaks out raptorium does peak upwards of
around 120 watts of rig so you do got to account for those little spikes on certain algorithms
but for the most part you know we're only running around 85 upwards to about 120 watts all the time
on each rig and majority of the time it's always under 100 watts so cpu mining is really efficient
and there's a bunch of coins out there that makes these things you know very profitable so let's get
a little closer look on how these are actually looking so as you can see i did utilize the ssd
holder on the ones that are actually utilizing the ssd looking in between it does look fairly close
i was testing the heat and these are running with the stock wraith prism coolers at about 58 degrees
or so so that's actually not too bad these are still running fairly decent over time i'll test
to see if they remain but look at that the space saving is awesome way better than the previous
standoffs i was using i really love these brackets they are nice and stable look we'll do a little
top heavy test so if i go up and i let go rolls back bring it up let go oh it's kind of hovering
there there we go got to be careful that might have been right at the balancing point but for
the most part you know obviously unless you bang it it's going to go top heavy with these noctua
coolers but for the most part you can see come up a bit let it go it just jumps back so these are
you know the weight i counted to come in the back and that's one of the reasons why i did want the
coolers on the bottom and not on the top because then obviously all that weight is up here and the
slightest bump movement vibration could topple it over and you know that'd be bad anyway guys
thank you for watching this video i'll see you on the next one Rabid out thank you for watching my
