Do you plan to build a GPU mining rig? Welcome to the first part of my series on how to build one.
I'll go through the whole process from the beginning to the end - from parts that we'll need to connecting everything and setting up. I hope to make it easy so anyone can understand.
What do we need?
Hardware
- motherboard = MOBO
- graphic cards = GPU
- processor = CPU
- memory = RAM
- power supply = PSU
- hard drive HDD or SSD
- WiFi card or LAN cable
- computer case - self built or bought
- start button
- PciE 1x-16x adapters
- M.2 adapters (depending on our motherboard)
- keyboard
- mouse
- screen
Software
- Windows or Linux
- mining software
- wallet (best would be hardware wallet)
Other
- good and stable internet
Good but not necessary
- device to measure how much electricity our rig is using
- smart power plug that we can turn on/off through internet
These are the basics of what we'll need whether you plan to build a small rig or a huge rig like this:
In future parts, I will go through all the components in details.
