Building & Setting Up a MINING RIG, Full Guide! (3x 1660 Super, 100MH/S Ethereum!)

Video Description

Thanks for clicking on my video! In this epically long video I go through every single step of putting together a 3 GPU mining rig and getting it up and running mining Ethereum. I start by going through all of the parts and components we're going to use to build the mining rig, we then move onto setting up our BIOS for mining, followed by how to set up Windows 10 for mining crypto and finally how to install and tweak all the software needed to start mining Ethereum. The rig we're building has 3 EVGA GTX 1660 Super graphics cards, and after I was able to get my hands on those GPUs I figured it was the perfect opportunity to make a full video guide on how to build a mining rig from start to finish, as well as how to set it up for mining in Windows 10! You should be able to follow along with this video while putting together a mining rig of your own. Video summary: We start by going through all the computer components we're going to use in the mining rig build. After this we move onto assembling the CPU, CPU cooler and RAM onto the motherboard, and plug in our SSD. We plug everything into our power supply and hook up a keyboard and monitor. We go through how to set up your BIOS for mining and then move onto showing you how to install Windows 10. Once Windows has installed, I show you how to set Windows up for mining and go through all the settings you need to change inte the operating system. We then move onto installing our 3 graphics cards into the computer by connecting them to PCIe risers and plugging them into our power supply. We then cover installing the Nvidia drivers for our GPUs, as well as how to set up MSI Afterburner for overclocking. Finally, I show you how to download the crypto mining software and set it up to mine the coin you want with the mining pool of your choice. After overclocking the graphics cards in MSI Afterburner, we are able to increase our hashrate and get our 3 GTX 1660 Supers to mine Ethereum at just below 100 MH/s. (95.4 megahash to be exact!)
