have like 30 HDD's hooked up just mining away. i might do it just to piss off my wife.
lolol
@SchloppyDoggo thoughts on this mining rig I want to build, the budget is $3,000-$4,000 with the lower end price being more likely what i will be able to pay. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lalna_Rocks/saved/4TGYrH
I plan on getting 2 more 1070's besides the 2 on this list
@.PunishedShlomo Are you using it only for mining?
yes
Ok then
You really don't need an i5
or 16gb ram
or an ssd
or that cooler
Your CPU won't really be doing anything
And don't bother with windows just don't activate it
KB too expensive for something youll never really be using
How will i connect to pools then or do I do that remotely, im a bit of noob at this side of things
You only need to be spending big bucks on the GPUs
Everything else can be very low tier
(except for PSU)
definently the psu, a friend of mine had a not so great psu, that he thought was a psu and it caught on fire
@.PunishedShlomo well, i got to warn you about that asus b250 mobo, its a bit of a bitch so just be prepared for some troubleshooting. i recently set one up about 2 weeks ago and ive had loads of problems with it. im sticking with 6 card rigs now.
Get a platinum PSU
@SchloppyDoggo atm Im only going to be using at least 5 slots
someone please buy me a computer
4GB RAM is only necessary
downgraded to 4 gb
yea also that psu isnt a good idea i'd go with at least a 700w
Yes and platinum
and if you are mining zec then you should be undervolting your cards. you get better h/s that way.
also get more cards per psu that way too and lower operating cos
CPU: Celeron or Pentium
Cooler: Stock
Motherboard: Random but reliable
Memory: 4GB
Storage: 64GB SSD or 500/1000GB HDD (doesn't really matter)
Video Cards: Whatever you want to mine with
Case: Test Bench or None
OS: Windows (Don't pay, just download it off Windows site and don't activate it)
PSU: PLATINUM
There you go
ive also had terrible issues with smos so im using windows now to mine. if you set afterburner to 65% power that seems to be the sweet spot for me on most cards.
Feel free to tip me with your millions you will have in a year
@king I can make more copies of windows as I have windows media creator so I should be able to get myself install or ask around for a free copy
Just download to a USB stick
Ez
im actually buying the cheap refurb'd 250 gb hdd's to save on cost. they work just fine.
For mining @SchloppyDoggo ?
no just for builds
o
just like $18
