Kingwin KC-8GPU Open Air Mining Rig Frame
A sturdy mid priced 8 GPU frame, held back by confusing assembly diagrams.
We bought Mining Rig Frame, Steel Open Air Miner Mining Frame Rig Case Up to 8 GPU (Frame Only). It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is an 8 GPU open air frame sold frame only by a known PC case brand, with published specs, though it is aluminum where the original is steel.
The short version
- Builders of 6 to 8 GPU mining or compute rigs
- Anyone who wants an open frame test bench for large cards
- People who may stack a second frame later
- You need fans included
- You have little floor or shelf space for a frame almost 3 ft long
- You need dual power supply mounting

What it does
An open air aluminum frame that holds an ATX motherboard, one power supply and up to 8 graphics cards; reviewed here in place of the generic steel 8 GPU frame it matches.
- Open air layout with space between cards for airflow
- Stackable, so a second frame can sit on top
- Mount for one power supply
- Seven 120 mm fan positions along the frame
- Also usable as an open test bench
A sensible mid priced frame for anyone building an 8 GPU rig, a render box or an open test bench, with room for large modern cards and 7 fan slots. The trade-offs are a long footprint, no fans in the box and assembly diagrams that buyers say can be confusing.
