Well spotted, i couldn't even see the RAM stick! Where about on the board are they? I just want to make sure I'm taking out correct hardware. TY I'll take your advice and reseat the RAM after i found it.

Well, sounds you are haven't much experience with hardware.
be sure to check all connections once again to make sure they are good. Did you put the GPU's in well? Check twice or more times.

Here is RAM (green card with chips)

Also, check there below the GPU seen in the picture, there is an empty battery slot. put the battery in too also.

what exactly produces x10 noise? PSU?
do you get any beep signals from MBD?
if the PSU and all GPUs are safely working I would check the ram memory.

it is probably much better to move this topic to the mining section of this forum. I believe there are more people out there who can help you and they are not visiting this part of the forum

I made same thread on that board, TY

Yeah, the PSU is very loud, even without the added fans i got to work by sticking in 1 single PCI into the MOBO and sticking the Power SW cable into the pins he stated. There were power in and power out on the MOBO, i stuck it in power in, was that correct? MOBO lit up as did all the added GPUs lights, but i tried all of their HDMI slots and got no signal, i tried the integrated HDMI slot as well. I did ask him about RAM, after the purchase and he said the 4GB in his description, is integrated into the MOBO, so i took his word for it.

TY

whether that board has a speaker? Any signals from there?
I saw one memory module in the slot on the board. It seems to be regular and not integrated. Try without them also.
due to oxidation, the contacts on the memory may weaken. All you have to do is take it out and put it back. (you definitely need to make sure everything is ok with memory)

edit: I saw on the picture, there is no CMOS battery on the board. it may not have to be mandatory, but it would be desirable to put it on.

Hi

I recently bought this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mining-Rig-Case-Crypto-Bitcoin-Ethereum-Ready-To-Mine-Just-Add-Your-GPUs/255121604872

I set-up the PSU & SSD and spoke to the seller of the item, but he wasn't able to get the rig working from taking his advice. I did take his advice of sticking in 1 of the PCI cables directly into the MOBO(I asked him which slot they go, but he never answered and said any!) & I took his advice as to where the Power SW went which come with the rig, and he just said next to the empty slot! I tried all that with a version of Windows on USB stick ready to install(I've used stick to install Windows on some old PCs), and added 3 GPUs to begin with. I switched power on and the noise was louder than i anticipated(is this normal, it was like X10 the sound of a normal PC, which i can hear through walls in my house.)

I used the integrated HDMI & 1 of the GPUs but was still getting no signal to my TV. I then took out all the GPUs, and tried just the integrated HDMI and still nothing. I then tried just 1 GPU in the number 1 slot on the MOBO, still no signal. I'm presuming the power out and power in slots may have something to do with it, there are loads of those numbered(i just stuck 1 PCI in a power in, as he requested.)

Right now i'm not sure what to do, thanks for listening.
