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
