How to set up multi graphics card for mining machine
Specific steps:
< UL >first of all, we need to find a mine pool which is easy to operate and proces stable output. The role of the mine pool is to subdivide the data packets for each terminal. We can pay the corresponding amount of bitcoin according to the proportion of the data packets calculated by the terminal through the precise algorithm
The first step in setting up mining equipment is to choose the right hardware. This article will focus on GPU (graphics card) mining, of course, you can use CPU or ASIC equipment mining. Amd graphics card architecture is very beneficial to mining. NVIDIA card is not suitable for mining because of its low hash rate. The best NVIDIA graphics cards are less than 0.5 megahash. Notebook Hardware mining is not as good as NVIDIA card, which is a bad option for mining. You need to use a desktop system for mining. There is a desktop system to ensure adequate cooling of the hardware
the graphics card or card needs to be able to match the motherboard, and the power supply must have enough PCI-E connectors. Before determining the graphics card, pay attention to these. In order for the system to cool down sufficiently, you need to remove the cover of the chassis in order to get better heat dissipation. This is what people call "open air rig.". If you can aim the system at a fan or air conditioner, you can make the device cooler when it's running, thus extending its life and keeping it efficient
expansion slots for mining boards: 1 PCI Express x16 slot, 5 PCI Express X1 slots
support the installation of 6 graphics cards
all oil holes on the machine and all rotating parts should be refueled with clean sewing machine oil every 4 hours. Other oils and unclean sewing machine oil should not be used, so as not to affect the service life of the machine
(2) regular maintenance and inspection
it is necessary to keep the parts clean, regularly check whether the temperature and sound of the rotating parts are normal, and repair them immediately if any problems are found, so as to avoid damaging the machine
generally, minor overhaul is concted once a month, and cleaning and major overhaul are concted once a half year. After being put into use for a long time, it should be cleaned and overhauled first
the thickness and use speed of the sewing material should be selected within the specified range, and it should not be overloaded or over speed.
to run SLI, it is necessary to build a platform supporting SLI and build a SLI system, which requires: 1. A mainboard supporting SLI; 2. Two NVIDIA SLI certified graphics cards are required; 3. Windows XP operating system
although nforce4 SLI is not the first chipset to support SLI, Intel's Tumwater (e7525) motherboard belongs to the workstation / server level motherboard. Therefore, the motherboard of nforce4 SLI chipset is generally used for home users to build SLI systems. As far as the current situation is concerned, the prospect of SLI is quite bright. NVIDIA is ready to launch nForce 5 Intel chipsets supporting SLI, and via and SIS will also launch the so-called al PCI gfx technology, just waiting for NVIDIA to nod its head. So in the current situation, to build SLI platform, nforce4 SLI chipset is the choice of most players. The high speed digital interface of the motherboard is used to connect two graphics cards. Without its help, the SLI system is impossible
for graphics cards, they must pass NVIDIA SLI certification, and the SLI interface on PCB is the best explanation. You should pay attention when you choose a graphics card. According to NVIDIA, two graphics cards need to be of the same brand and model to start the SLI function. According to the current market situation, NVIDIA has separated three levels for us: high-end geforce 6800ultra, middle end geforce 6800gt and geforce 6800, and low-end geforce 6600GT. The graphics card score of geforce 6600GT SLI system is quite amazing, and it can realize 4-screen output. Such a device is quite lethal to consumers who want to configure low-end graphics workstations
finally, it is necessary to determine whether the power supply on your hand can provide enough current. According to the official instructions of NVIDIA, the power wattage required for the SLI system built by the high-end geforce 6800ultra is up to 500W ~ 550W. I believe everyone knows the power consumption of geforce 6800ultra very well, but now it is two geforce 6800ultra, so the power consumption is very large.
the computing power depends on the ability of each card
if six cards of a machine are all of the same model, even if all the pcielx ports are in the mode of 6X1
of course, the graphics card has the function of high temperature automatic frequency rection, Multi card should pay attention to heat dissipation.
