(Side note: If you plan on using 6 cards or more get MSI afterburner)

When building a miner think power efficiency, save power where you can, aim for a low wattage cpu & single stick of ram. (If mining with Vega cards get 8gb of ram to unlock the full potential of HBM2 memory on the vega cards)

Remember when crypto-mining power supplies and gpu risers usually are the first to go bad. Signs of failure are always different, but from my experience if you get any sign of lower hash rate, or unstable miner where it shuts down or is constantly restarting check these two areas power supply and gpu risers.
(note: Get name brand PSU Evga,Corsair,Seasonic etc they have great rma response and offer 10yr warranty also gold rated or higher is preferable)

Power is important!

"So what are the hash-rates!?!"
