Ethereum is currently the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and is available to users through mining. However, you need to know that The Ether mining machine needs a good graphics card and sufficient memory, so, before the assembly must choose a good graphics card and CPU, especially for the graphics card requirements are very high, the higher the configuration of the mining machine to get more ether, the higher the profit is getting higher and higher. So you know how to build a graphics card Ethereum mining machine?
Mining machine host hardware requirements and experience: CPU and memory, hard disk requirements are not high, the general entry level. Mainboard in addition to 6 card support, there are 8 cards and even 12 card support, in the selection of mineral plate, we will match on demand. Mainly motherboard is bringing multiple slots PCI – 1 (PCI – E slot also calculate), through the six “PCI – E1X turn 16 x adapter card” to install more than one independent graphics card, power is needed to meet demand more CARDS, video CARDS, the more and more high, the requirements of the power is more high, it is recommended to use the whole module, power supply, power supply wire, better ability to scale.
Hardware assembly is relatively simple, as long as the motherboard according to the instructions to connect the components together. Remind a bit is to be sure to plug each plug in place, so as not to contact bad. And do not plug in an external independent graphics card, but use the minimum system debugging. There are six interfaces on the side of the motherboard, three on the left are SATA power supply interfaces, and three on the right are IDE power supply interfaces, also called D-type ports.
These ports are used to power peripheral component Interconnect Express (PCIE) devices. After all, six graphics cards are installed at the same time. If the number of ports is insufficient, connect only one of the ports in the red box. Both ports supply power to the same PCIE device. The arrow indicates the relationship between the power supply interface and the PCIE device. If no device is inserted into an interface, you do not need to connect to the power supply interface.
Power supply is more important in the graphics card mining machine, mining machine operating temperature is very high, if the power quality is very poor, short circuit occurs, it is possible to make the whole graphics card mining machine card scrapped, therefore, the power supply is not contempt. Therefore, when choosing a power supply, you should choose a power supply larger than the actual power consumption. In addition to CPU, graphics card, motherboard, power supply, graphics card mining machine assembly also needs hard disk, memory, chassis and other accessories. The detail of this is to pay attention to the interface of the various accessories and the adapter connection, to ensure that it can match.
At present, there are three kinds of graphics card mining machine: common motherboard + conversion board + extension line, multi-slot motherboard + extension line, straight into the motherboard. These three schemes in the straight inserted motherboard is the most convenient, but there are disadvantages, that is, the distance between the graphics card is very dense, not easy to heat. It is not recommended to encapsulate more than eight graphics cards on the motherboard. Otherwise, it is easy to encounter graphics card driver problems.
There are two points to pay attention to when assembling an Ethernet mining machine: 1. The more PCIE slots there are, the more graphics cards can be connected, and the greater the computing power of a single mining machine. 2. The greater the power supply, the more graphics cards can be driven. So everyone in the selection of configuration must be based on the number of your graphics card and power to choose the corresponding power supply, otherwise it is likely to appear because of the power supply is too low and cause graphics card computing power is not enough or even do not work.
