Topic: Rack for gpu's - page 2. (Read 1925 times)
Thanks guys, helped me out!
For larger GPU setups, open air rigs and riser cables are pretty much the only option.
I used to have something like this, albeit a much smaller scale.
One can connect 6-8 GPUs to a motherboard with the use of extended cables, risers and multiple PSUs.
So, for a larger setup, 6-8 GPUs per frame, and then you add more frames as you go.

GPUs use what are called GPU Riser cables. You need to have available PCI slots and the cables extend the sockets so that your GPUs aren't physically attached t the mother board. There wouldn't be enough room if you were to attach them directly to the mother board.
The picture above is one style that is used. Others are simply an extension.
Similar to this. I just pulled this real quick for reference. Just makes it so you can remotely connect the CPU board to the motherboard.
Most need a separate power supply as well. So you need to be able to connect your power supply that you choose to use to the GPUs aswell. All depends on what setup you are running they use to much power for that.
CPU mining is done from the CPU you have attached to the motherboard. Typical home PCs only have a socket for a CPU and you cant add another. But some can have many threads that do the work.
If you can get or have a server sitting around or access to one. Some of these can have up to I believe its 4 - 32 CPUs per board. For get how many to be honest. But i know they can have and do have multiple CPUs.
You can actually get some pretty interesting hash rates with CPUs if you have enough threads and a good clock speed. Other factors as well.

i think CPUs can mounted in a similar fashion, however i don't think you can have more than one CPU per motherboard and they aren't nearly as profitable 
Hi
I'm not interested in mining myself, but i just have a question. I saw in some pictures that people used to have a lot of gpu's to mine. My questions are:
Were all these gpu's connected to one PC?
If so, how?
Is it also possible to connect multiple cpu's to mine bitcoin (or an altcoin)
If so, how?
