Pretty sure there is some cardinal sin you are committing by building this...monstrosity.

i will have to make sacrifices to Jensen, Dr Sue  and Raja for this.

I feel like it might need to be all 3 in this case.

I'm glad that when i look back at this build log once its over, i am going to get to see quality stuff.

Your biggest challenge will be getting enough power supplies working together to power all these cards. Your power company is going to love you.

 

You might want to consider a couple of 8-GPU Mining frames stacked on top of each other.

 

The USB PCIe risers you should do some research into and once you find a good model look at buying in bulk.

 

8GB RAM might not be enough if you actually want to run the GPUs with any kind of load to test.

1. yep power is a serious problem i will probably end up using  24pin spliter's and be runing 5 PSU's buy the end

1.B i don't plan on running to longand hard so i shouldn't use to much money in power.

 

2. good tip i will investigate, thanks

 

3. i am getting the ones used on this board by its previous owner so we'll see

 

4. RAM i think we will just have to weight and see on that one, in don't really what to buy more ram if i don't have to.

 

thank's for stopping by.

For PowerS supplies you could look for the server power supplies used by miners as they have lots of power on the 12v rails and you might be able to only need a couple and may be able to pick them up used for good prices these days

that's a good idea i will look into that.

I remember hearing a roummour back at the height of mining at seasonic and some others were making 2000 and 3000 watt psu specifically for the UK market (a single socket is rated to 3250 watts over hear)

 

 

P.S. Sorry for the slow replies to both of you, but thats the price of living on GMT (aka UTC+0).

i was really into GN back when i built my last rig and thermal grizzly sponsor them ( at least they used to, haven't wacht GN in a while) so when  i bought stuff it was the first thing i thought of.
