Here are some pictures of my 13-6gpu Ethereum mining rig set up. These are running 24/7 non stop even in this super hot heat wave we are already having here in Las Vegas. The outside temps have already hit past 117f the other day and nothing below 115f now. It is amazing how strong these mining rigs are even at these extreme temps. Inside where my Mining Rigs are set up the temperature has reached up to 99f inside. I am currently just using an evaporative cooler, and utilizing three very powerful floor fans to help keep the air moving upward into the nice cool air coming out of the evaporative cooler.
Here is a breakdown of the equipment and apps that I am using and their costs.

There are other things that i purchased based on setting up 13 of these 6pgu rigs like 2-6ftx4ftx2ft 4 shelf metal racks, two multi-port outlets, 3 floor fans, several 10awg (10 Gauge) power cords, 6 industrial floor mats, Cat5e 60ft extension cable, one dozen paper clips to short circuit the second power supply unit on each rig build, a DVD Rom external drive, a multi-usb outlet plug, an external usb drive to install Windows and other Apps, a usb mouse, usb key board, and a Samsung 23 inch LCD Screen TV/Monitor, and a small movable table top.
Here are the Apps that i used. Claymore Miner, Nicehash Miner, Trixx 3.0, GPUZ, Open Hardware Monitor, Team Viewer Management Console, ethermine.org, and nicehash.com.
I am getting between 21mh/s to 27mh/s per gpu card. I do not mess with any of the bios, but I do however do some overclocking and undervolting using the Trixx 3.0 app.
All of my miner rigs are pretty stable, they usually only need to be reset if they have been overclocked too much or the miner website has issues.
I hope that this is useful to others and please upvote my posts here and feel free to comment on anything you would like to comment on or ask about. Everything you see here was built with my own two hands and my current knowledge about computers and crypto mining. I had some tips and helpful ideas from: Cryptomined, Bits Be Trippin', TheBitcoinMiner, and IMineBlocks. I wanted to give a big thanks and shout out to these guys as they give up their knowledge and time to us Cryptominers.
