Title: Help setting up a Blake256 Mining rig Post by: RobbieRoor on January 26, 2016, 04:15:21 AM I basically need a list of hardware and whatnot to purchase in order to create a Blake256 mining rig for mining a new coin coming out called Decred. I cant seem to find anything that really helps me with this problem. Im aware that I need a GPU but after that im sorta clueless. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead of time.

You can build a rig with just a PSU, mother board, CPU, and GPU. I know some guy was build them into shipping crates (the plastic kind).
Your start up cost will be at least a few hundred dollars Title: Re: Help setting up a Blake256 Mining rig Post by: anticlimax on January 26, 2016, 06:58:15 PM Doesn't really matter if you buy AMD or nVidia.
You're going to need everything you'd see in a standard PC setup, then generally people buy or build open air frames to install the hardware on. You will need to buy pcie risers off eBay. Just research milk crate gpu rigs and go from there. Send me a pm if you need more help, I used to build aluminum frames/gpu rigs back in the day.

Blake 256 is a nasty algo on AMD cards; very high power consumption. I believe NEOs used it, most tahiti and pitcarn cards could not keep below their thermal thresholds as I recall without a secondary fan blowing air on them directly. |
