mining rig troubleshooting

[crazyj12]

Hello all,
This is my first pc build and I really could use some help. My brother and I are building a mining rig and we are having problems getting the system running. I have an asus b350 plus motherboard, amd ryzen 1600, asus rx 580, seasonic 1000 watt, 2x8gb corsair vengeance ddr4, and Samsung 860 evo ssd. We thought using a mining rack would be better but i think its causing problems now.

We have everything connected correctly ( I believe so) and it does turn on (sort of). The lights activate but the fans, cpu and chassis wont work and there is no display when connected. I've tried reinstalling all the connections and they seem fine but the issues still occurs. I'm thinking that some of the wires that normally come in a case are the issue. The mining rack did not come with an wires so we have to order them seperately.

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I can provide pictures if needed as well.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Mining rig builds a little diff. Most perform base on GPU.
Here are the basic steps
1- Load bare minimum Windows OS, no Serial, no Parallel ports, no HD sound, no USB3.0. Make sure you can boot and run just CPU, RAM, and Mainboard
4GB RAM, slowest CPU.
2- Once it ran, add a Video card and load the mining software check out the mining rate
3- After that Modifying your GPU BIOS to get the best hash rate, so you can get the best ROI
4- Repeat 2,3 steps for 2nd, 3rd...8th card. Note each of the cards will consume about 125W. Makes sure the PSU is enough juice. As your 1000W you can build 6 GPU rig.
5- There are lots of junk PCIe riser out there. I have spent countless hours trouble-shoot the system, turn out the DARN PCIe is the culprit
Highly recommend using this riser

Personally, I don't like ASUS RX580 their fan are too slow for this purpose, MSI and Sapphire are the ones I like
You can easily get 185MH/s for six GPU. here is what you able to make:

Which is not a bad investment.

If I was you, I would buy one rig like this:

Run, study, copy it to build the next rig
