Today I have time so I'm going to closely inspect all the mining components and see why this thing keeps shutting off.
After a close inspection, I noticed there was a short and some of the power cables were burnt at the adapter plugging into an AMD RX 580 as shown.
I was lucky for a couple of reasons, one being everything is booting up and there is nothing broken on the miner, and the damage was big enough on the adapter that it was found. Sometimes a short can be very hard to find.
Now that we have that out of the way we are going to boot The Miner just to reboot it into safe mode so we can uninstall all video drivers nice and clean to plug in a couple of more RX 560 and reinstall all our drivers and get mining with six video cards and a badass CPU!
Now I'm going to show you a little tour around the miner, let you see how I've got it put together with the adapters on a 7ft tall server rack.
Now that you have completed the tour we will install drivers, Photography and Miner fans you might as well leave now, the rest is for nerds.
Let me see which drivers would you use?
That's right the same ones I chose, blockchain drivers! Even after talking to some Nerds I had to find this one myself, but that's okay my inner nerd took over and took care of business.
All installed now it's time to restart.
Drivers are successfully installed and looking good as you can see in the speed fan program.
Now it's time to open the miner and start benchmarking.
Thank you for tuning in, benchmarking is very slow so after we are mining again I will post a video on dtube showing you my progress.
