# Mining Rig
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
You can surely [find](https://www.reddit.com/r/gpumining/) a better tutorial on how to build a mining rig than this one. However, to summarise what I've learned:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You want a beefy power supply, with lots of PCI-e 8pin and 6pin cables.
|
||||
2. You need 1 x PCI express (_PCI-e_) port per GPU
|
||||
3. You don't need powerful CPU or much RAM - the GPUs do all the mining work. My current guts (_minus the PSU_) are 5 years old.
|
||||
|
||||
## Do I need a open-air rig?
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, no. You can use any old PC chassis. But as soon as you want more than one GPU, you're going to start to run into cooling problems.
|
||||
|
||||
You don't need anything fancy. Here's a photo of the rig my wife built me:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
I recommend this design (_with the board with little holes in it_) - it takes up more space, but I have more room to place extra components (_PSUs, hard drives, etc_), as illustrated below:
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
You'll note the hard drives in the picture - that's not part of the mining requirements, it's because my rig doubles as my [Plex](/recipes/plex/) server ;)

## Continue your adventure
|
||||
|
||||
Now, continue to the next stage of your grand mining adventure:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build your mining rig 💻 (This page)
|
||||
2. Setup your [AMD](/recipes/cryptominer/amd-gpu/) or [Nvidia](/recipes/cryptominer/nvidia-gpu/) GPUs 🎨
|
||||
3. Sign up for [mining pools](/recipes/cryptominer/mining-pool/) :swimmer:
|
||||
4. Setup your miners with [Miner Hotel](/recipes/cryptominer/minerhotel/) 🏨
|
||||
5. Send your coins to [exchanges](/recipes/cryptominer/exchange/) or [wallets](/recipes/cryptominer/wallet/) 💹
|
||||
6. [Monitor](/recipes/cryptominer/monitor/) your empire :heartbeat:
|
||||
7. [Profit](/recipes/cryptominer/profit/)! 💰

## Chef's Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pro-tip : You're going to spend some time overclocking. Which is going to make your mining host unstable.
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. It's the ultimate _#firstworldproblem_, but if you have a means to remotely reboot your host, use it! You can thank me later.
|
||||
|
||||
(_I hooked up a remote-controlled outlet to my rig, so that I can power-cycle it without having to crawl under the desk!_)
