Will RTX 3060 mine without installation on a motherboard, speed 48-50 mh / s?

No.  The known workarounds have nothing to do with the miner (PhoenixMiner, etc.).  Three conditions are required to get a 3060 to sustain full hashrate:

  • Directly connected to a PCIe x16 slot (risers do not work, but from what I understand a PCI extension cable should work)
  • The Nvidia 470.05 development driver
  • A powered-on monitor or an HDMI dummy plug connected
