Topic: High Density Milk Crate Rig - 6 GHash (Read 15291 times)
I commented at U2b, but could you provide spex? What was your cost? Have you tried LTC?
Should really pay the extra like $3 to join a second crate to space those things out. Cards jammed together vs cards with a little space is a surprisingly large temperature delta. Save you from blowing hot ass air down onto your mobo too. ($10 box fan would move more air in a preferable direction.)
Good one. What temps are you getting out of them?
Why not SDK 2.6?
SDK 2.6 blows for 5xxx cards. 2.1 yields the highest hash-rates.Which Catalyst version is optimal then for 5xxx cards is it 12.1?

what kind of setup and connections are you using with what looks like 4 PSUs, 2 rigs with one mobo each, and what looks like 6 GPUs on one rig, 4 on the other?
Do you have something like 2 PSUs per rig/mobo, with one PSU on each powering ~3 cards and the other PSU powering the other cards and everything else, or something like that?
Is there any trick to that kind of setup, or is it just as simple as flipping the switch on both PSUs to turn it on?

I'm very interested in answers to these questions, as well.

Looks like those plastic crates make excellent mining cases.
Cheap, light and transportable.

I like the rig, and are thinking of building something similar.
Just wondered - would it not be even better if the cards were lying on their sides to get better access to unrestricted airflow at the fan-side?

My buddy and I did something similar except we used two of them and spliced them together. (Cut one side of each off, then zip tied together. Way stronger then it sounds)
I'll see about adding some pics.
This will have to do for now...

NICE!! now thats a rig.
maybe i should post three of my foldable laundry crate hamper rigs too.
hmm.
hmm.
Yeah SDK 2.6 Blows for 5000 and 6000 series cards. Anything before that is great. 2.1 is probably the best but I use 2.5 and have almost the exact same results. Definitely get off SDK 2.6
del, dupe...
Low Density Document Crate Rig - 1.5 GHash , ~750$
Wanna compare noise / temp ?
Could have fitted 5 gpu on this board, Usually I raise the board 1"
Will post picture of the other 4.

uhhh, bad air circulation for the PSUs.
The fans are completely exposed on the bottom of the crate. Works well except for the fact that I cant set the crate on a solid surface, so I just put it on top of another crate.Up up and awaaaaaayyyyyyy!

the fans are taking in air, the exhaust is the mesh part on the side of the power cable/switch. They may be cooking each other
