Set CPU fan control to auto, it was 100% all the time.For this, i will take as example “ Biostar TB85” and “ Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon”įor Biostar TB85 i had to do the following BIOS modifications : Always used just one partition C: (if you have a bigger SSD like 240 then you can create additional partition and use it to “mine” Storj)ĭepending on what motherboard you will be using, some of them needs some BIOS modifications to make it work properly with USB Risers or anything else.I have always used 120GB SSD drives (you can use bigger, there is no restriction).Plug only ONE GPU in the PCI Express 16x slot with usb riser.Do not plug the Ethernet cable to your mining rig while windows installation or after that.Windows Installation & Configuration for Mining Rig Here is how i tweak my windows for a mining rig!

This windows configuration can be applied on any type of altcoin mining like Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, ZCash, Zclassic, Monero, PascalCoin, Expanse, Ubiq, Decred etc. Since i received lots of question about my windows configuration, version or drivers, i decided to make post about it.Īlthough there is not that much to talk about, but i think those settings are very important and a must for each mining rig, if you do other things that are not found here, post them in comments and ill update!
