Topic: First Octominer Build (Read 293 times)
The issue you run into logistically is case size and power supplies. There is a company that there was a thread on that had a 12-13 gpu customs rig with custom riserless backplane. I think it was an open frame but they were planning to enclose it in a future revision.
The salty comments on you imgur album are the best part of this. "Eat a bag of dicks!"
Anyway, good job with your build. Was just wondering what your favorite part of this build is? I can't imagine how it would be better than regular mobos and open air cases that don't need noisy noctua fans.

Please allow me to answer to your question.
A "dedicated" motherboard si much better than a regular one because:
- with not risers there are less points of failures
- troubleshooting is much more easier when a GPU is not working under parameters.
- if you have more RIGs is easier to do the preventive maintenance
Thanks for clarifying this. Considering what you metioned i am halfway sold on the whole dedicated motherboard thing. However, another pickle is efficiency. Can you imagine how much more efficient it would be to run a 13-GPU mobo rig? Are there plans of making at least maybe a 12-slot "dodecagon" miner rig?
Also you could just use a server psu since this board doesn't need 24 pin atx connected. I just wanted to go the atx psu route. Would definitely be cheaper to do a server psu though.
the unit comes with delta fans, I just wanted to try a different route. I ended up finding a molex fan controller that I'm gonna try on this second case for my Onda b250 build.
Looks super clean.
Making the frame a bit taller in height and swapping the single power supply for two vertically mounted 750w or 850w units could knock off at least $250 off the cost.
Consider delta fans off alibaba instead of the noctua fans for more cooling and noise

Honestly I just love how clean and compact it is without sacrificing on temps. I can pick it up and move it easily if need be and in terms of adding more rigs it saves alot of space.

Thanks for the support!
Glad to hear that you are happy with our products. Our case has really good airflow and the temps are actually better than with open air rigs most of the time.

I keep my rigs in the basement which stays cool year round so heat is not an issue. The closed case works fine as long as you have the case fans to force the hot air from the gpu’s. I’ll get my IR gun and check psu temp when I get a chance but as it stands everything runs cool. Would run even cooler if I ran the fans at full speed but didn’t need to.
If his was installed in a hot room or garage it would be different but running the fans at full speed I think it would be fine. Once it starts getting hotter here in Chicago I’ll put it in a warmer room for temp testing and see how it does.

those gpu will be very hot in summer. Very hot.
GPUs temperature seems okay, but the fourth fan (in the front of PSU) seems hindered by PSU cable. I think that fourth fan used to draw the heat near PSU area. Then how about physical PSU's temperature?
The motherboard isn’t really any more expensive when you factor in risers and cpu on a regular setup. The case is a luxury but I find it worth it personally.
The setup looks good but it deserves to pay 200$ for mainboard + another 200$ for chassis? With this money you can buy a videocard, if you have more rigs you can build a new rig instead of converting open air to this.
Just my silly curiosity, don't take it personally

i'm running on 240v but you could easily run this off 120 as it only pulls about 1k watts from the wall at its current settings. It's a pretty efficient build at 65-70% power with good hashrate.
nice build, so you can run all off the 1 1600 watt supply, are you on 120v?
Recently finished my first 8 gpu Octominer build and figured i'd share it here for those that are on the fence or looking to make the leap to a riserless setup.
I swapped out the included fans for Noctua NF-f12 3k rpm industrial versions with an 8 port fan hub and Noctua fan controller to give me better controller over temps vs noise.
Cards are all Gigabyte GTX 1070 ti gaming gpu’s
Has 8gb ram and a 120gb msata hard drive.
Once I got the fans dialed in, I’m getting sub 60’s for temps.
Really like the build, will probably change over to a few more of this setup with the rest of my rigs as the space savings is unquestionable, plus being able to grab it by the handles and move it when needed has been great so far.
