Hi

I recently bought this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mining-Rig-Case-Crypto-Bitcoin-Ethereum-Ready-To-Mine-Just-Add-Your-GPUs/255121604872

I set-up the PSU & SSD and spoke to the seller of the item, but he wasn't able to get the rig working from taking his advice. I did take his advice of sticking in 1 of the PCI cables directly into the MOBO(I asked him which slot they go, but he never answered and said any!) & I took his advice as to where the Power SW went which come with the rig, and he just said next to the empty slot! I tried all that with a version of Windows on USB stick ready to install(I've used stick to install Windows on some old PCs), and added 3 GPUs to begin with. I switched power on and the noise was louder than i anticipated(is this normal, it was like X10 the sound of a normal PC, which i can hear through walls in my house.)

I used the integrated HDMI & 1 of the GPUs but was still getting no signal to my TV. I then took out all the GPUs, and tried just the integrated HDMI and still nothing. I then tried just 1 GPU in the number 1 slot on the MOBO, still no signal. I'm presuming the power out and power in slots may have something to do with it, there are loads of those numbered(i just stuck 1 PCI in a power in, as he requested.)

Right now i'm not sure what to do, thanks for listening.

It has integrated hdmi? I see nothing like that mentioned on the spec sheet it says vga and there is shown just a vga port in the photo? Have you tried to see if its outputting a vga video signal?

Thanks for the spec sheet, hopefully i can figure out how to fix it. Yeah, this board 100% has HDMI and no VGA in sight. https://i.imgur.com/TfbbwYC.jpg

I did find some extra Power_in all the way up to 12 on the inside of the board next to the PSU. Right now I have sockets plugged into every single socket, still no post. I tried only Power_in1-12 as well. Same, no post!

I do rermemeber not seeing a BIOS once on an old desktop i had which had to use VGA to see the BIOS even though it had HDMI. My mind is at ease here as there is no VGA, only HDMI.
