Assembled, Configured, and Tested Kits
We realize not everyone has the ability to or wants to spend the time assembling and configuring their own mining rigs. That’s why we offer various levels of kits to jump start your mining. If you’d prefer to build your own, scroll down for more details on what’s needed.
The Base
Below are the basics needed for a six graphics card (GPU) cryptocurrency mining rig. There’s plenty of ways to configure a rig, but this is the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple silly) method. We’re always happy to work directly with our customers to build the perfect fit.
| Item | Description | Suggested Item |
|---|---|---|
| Mining Frame | This is the structure used to house all the components in your rig. Quality counts here as you don’t want something that wobbles or falls apart | Veddha 6 GPU Mining Frame |
| Motherboard | The heart of the operation. Motherboards used for mining must be robust and offer enough connectivity, specifically PCI-E. | Asus Prime Z490–P |
| Processor | A common misunderstanding with mining is just how much work the processor does. It only handles the operations of the OS and ensuring the mining software is running. This is a spot where you can save a little money. | Intel G5905 or Intel G5920 or Intel G5925 |
| RAM | A minimum of 4GB is required, but we highly recommend 8GB as this give you more of a buffer to work with. | 2x Crucial DDR4-2400 4GB Sticks or 2x Crucial DDR4-2666 4GB Sticks |
| Storage | You need a place to store the operating system (OS). What you use depends on the operating system you choose. For Windows, a 120GB SSD is recommended. For HiveOS, a 32GB or better USB stick works very well. We would suggest you get a USB stick with high read/write speeds. | 120GB SSD or 32GB USB |
| Risers | Risers offer a way to connect the graphics cards to the motherboard without having to plug the cards directly into the board. Each card requires one riser. Each riser must also be powered. | 6 Pack PCI-E Risers |
The Power
Power is bit more complex as you need to account for the various cards you could use and the different power requirements they have.
