Any 6 GPUs Chassis?

[wlin]

I found many are ugly miner rig frame, any enclosed PC chassis suggestion?

[Electronics Wizardy]

What board are you using? Are you using risers?

 

What gpus are you using?

 

There are lots of server cases that will fit 8-10 gpus in 4u, but there loud.

 

The problem is most gpus are dual slot, so that will need 12 slots and there aren't any normal boards that fit that many cards.

If your planning on building a miner rig, it's better to build with a frame than inside a case, it will be very difficult cooling 6 GPUs inside a small box that are running constantly at full speed.

People don't usually concern themselves with style when mining. Though if you have a vision and a specific need, an angle grinder and some sheet metal can turn into whatever case you want

i got a rig off of amazon for like 70 euro so if you dont care about aesthetics then its worth a look

yeah, I don't compromise with their solution... so any 4-5 GPUs?

[wlin]

Thanks, everyone, I guess we don't have anything like it so far. Maybe, let's go down to 4-5 GPUs? (I build a 3 GPUs already :D, cost me around $500 totally without GPU.)

What GPUs do you plan to use and how many expansion slots will that take?

yea pc cases arent really made for multi gpu setups these days

Buy a mining board with a matching case.

A Corsair 1000D will fit 4 2-slot GPUs. I reckon with a suitable motherboard you could do up to 6 if you were water cooling.

i think the most pci slots case has about 11 pci slots

 

but there are mounts too mount them w/e thow

even if you did 4 gpus in a closed case, you will be able to heat up frozen white castles in it in minutes unless you spend more than you will profit in 2 years if mining

I am using RX580 right now; any good suggestions for less heat but the same or higher hash rate?

They are all open frame and quite noisy

It'll be hard to find a multi gpu rig that is silent. Even with fully enclosed server cases, you'll need loud high pressure fans that spin fast so that the heat does not destroy the components. 

 

No easy solution for mining. You'll have a much easier time leaving the mining rig in a seperate room. Best I could think of is bequiet db 900 + single pci slot gpus + a workstation motherboard so  that you can fit 7 gpus

No they arent. They offer closed frame and you can get quiet fans. Just like any other case.

[thrasher_565]

you can mod your own fans on them that will be quiet and posably cooler. i recommend 2x 92mm fans thow

i done this few years ago, deshroud & ziptie 1 arctic p12 pwm (since 5 pack is cheap) on the heatsink 

works very well on temps & noise

ya i got 5 470 off ebay cheap like 375 but some fans were broken. i could have probably made one or too work but w/e i zip tied cheap old 3pin fans too it. so i didn't have a base on temps vs the stock fans but it was quiet and still cool so

any receipt? I think I should go with RX 6000 maybe? They are low power consumption.
