My previous video on how to build a $6 Mining Rig Frame ( /watch/AdvuRcr0bQV0u )- there were a lot of questions from yours about mounting, the motherboard power supply, etc. ►►► MATERIALS & TOOLS: ► SPACER - 1/4" plastic tubing: https://amzn.to/3aO4X9I ► PSU MOUNT - Metal Pipe Strap (22 ga): https://amzn.to/2N9tYE0 ► Drywall screws 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" - https://amzn.to/3d58rai ► Tin Snips (straight blade) for pipe strap: https://amzn.to/36WmfQA ► Milwaukee 12V Impact Driver: https://amzn.to/3cXKiCH ► Milwaukee 12V Tool Combo / Kits: https://amzn.to/3q5uh1n ► Milwaukee 12V batteries: https://amzn.to/2OoH5lt ► UBIT RED Riser (Works with ASUS B250 Mining Expert) https://amzn.to/3jto2Sv� �� ~$50 for 6-pack ►►► USE 6-PIN to power your risers!!! SATA can be a fire hazard!!! Max power on a SATA cable is 54 watt per cable!!! 6-pin is 75 watt. 8-pin is 150 watt. PROS: Soft USB cable, Vertical plug. RISERS REVIEW VIDEO: /watch/4QvRGbFRaIlRR ► Version 008S no longer available. New version UBIT is 103C with 6-pin connector on the back (better wire management and safer than SATA rizer power. ►►► GPUS: ► GTX 1660 Super/Ti (Hynix) 32 mhs - Fix slow hashrate: /watch/�skG7buQll_Alb �� ► $6 Mining Rig Frame: /watch/�AdvuRcr0bQV0R �� ► B250 Fintech (12 GPU) mining mobo review: /watch/�sPO7ys7m1qomy �� ► RTX 3060ti vs 2x GTX 1660 Ti/Super: /watch/�AUsyh6ovYIwvh �� MINING MOTHERBOARDS: ► ASUS B250 Mining Expert - 19 GPU Motherboard: http://amzn.to/2Ec0Wem� �� ► MSI H310-F PRO (13 GPUS) https://amzn.to/2LvITrB� �� GPUs ► ZOTAC 1660 Super ($50-100 less than others) - https://amzn.to/3aE3yCk� �� ► MSI 1660 Super (31-32 mhs @ ~75-85w): https://amzn.to/39R31xX� �� ► EVGA 1660 (regular - ~26 mhs @ ~70w): https://amzn.to/3trV5uy� �� ► MSI 1660 Super VENTUS XS OC (31-32 mhs @ ~80w): https://amzn.to/3pQkImM� �� ► MSI 3060 Ti (~60 mhs @ 130w): https://amzn.to/3cNQHAt� �� ► ASUS 3060 Ti (~60 mhs @ 128w): https://amzn.to/2O92zmf Here I answer all your questions as well as provide additional insight and experience that I've gained in the last two years of using this do it yourself mining rig frame design build out of wood ►► Amazon Disclosure: This Youtube channel is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

    @tonebaxter3 years ago You should have a channel talking about tools and building. Probably would be epic!!!! 1

    @Dustii913 years ago I would love to see you make a 2 tier rack on video brother.
    Your content is beyond any other utube in terms of information you preset.
    Much respect 🙏👌🏽

    @cdotwu3 years ago Hey Leo, glad to see you are doing well. Built my first wooden mining frame following your old video. Thank you for uploading that and now this PART 2 video. My questions are answered! 1

    @RetroKadez3 years ago Built a couple thanks to your vids wish I could post pics ! Thanks for the tutorial!! Gotta save wherever you can when you get into this business!!! Might not be the prettiest but it works great !! 💪🤑🤑 1

    @sjlcrypto11993 years ago Ayy man you're back! I'm just about to build this rig... I wish you would've been clearer at the end of the video when you started talking about the clearance of the support bar for the first level of risers. I'm starting out with the 24" 6 card version, but it would be nice to be able to expand it higher with another tier in the future. Either way, thanks for the content bro! ... 1

    @JPeezy7893 years ago These are good videos. I would like to see more specifics on dimensions for the rails while building the frame.
    Also, do you think you could pull off building a metal mining rig? If so, it could be a good video.

    @Jazon29013 years ago Hey mate great videos! Quick question, why would you put a card in the first pcie slot rather than a riser? 1

    @mshasib3 years ago You video is absolutely awesome! How are you powering 6 GPUs and the 6 risers with cables from one PSU?
    For a 1000W+ PSU, I know that you can use the 8-pin connectors from the PSU to connect to the GPUs. This would probably take up all of the 8-pin ports on the PSU. I'm assuming you are using some other cable to convert the 6-pin peripheral ports to the 6-pin power on the riser. Is that it? Can you provide a link on the cables you are using? ...

    @sebastiencarre24163 years ago @AdSense Ninja Thank you for your videos bro. Can you tell me what is the Wood Dimensions that you used for the Tier 2 Frame Please ? Is it 2x1 ? 1

    @CantankerousOB3 years ago 1. wood is not a conductor. You need the ground points (the mounting screws) across the board. At minimum connect a wire between all of your screws and properly ground the board.
    2. drywall screws are a horrible idea. They rust easily because they are not coated in nickel/chrome and the "wedge" shape makes them even worse. Flat (pan) head screws distribute the pressure evenly across the edge of the hole, instead of the center of the hole.
    3. at minimum run a ground wire between the PSU and the motherboard.
