Another procrastination project finished! Added another Ryzen 9 3900X machine to the $XMR #crypto #mining farm!
Buddy gave me the case, but it was NASTY, LOL! Cleaned up well and added all new fans with a fresh MSI 550W PSU.
Learned some lessons with this one too... It was a used motherboard/CPU/RAM combo I got from ebay, and didn't realize the motherboard was the cheap link, lol. It works fine, but for mining Monero, apparently the memory latency and power capacitor limitations on the board are causing me to get base level hashrates, which is like only 60% of what this CPU can do.
So looks like I will be getting a new motherboard that can handle it in the very near future. But regardless, it's off the bench and mining some fresh coin!
