Title: The Most Cost Effective Mining Rig? Post by: CYPER on June 14, 2011, 02:05:11 PM I am one step away from buying the rig, but just want confirmation I haven't missed anything:
4x XFX 5870 GIGABYTE GA-770T-D3L (has 1 x16 slot and 4 x1 slots) AMD Sempron 140 2.7GHz AM3 (do you think it might cause 100% CPU usage under Linux?) Kingston KVR1333D3N9/2G ValueRAM / 2GB 1333MHz Corsair HX850 - 2 different reviews has confirmed it can output 1000W if needed. 4x PCI Express Riser Card Flexible Cable Adapter PCIe x1 2 x Coolermaster SickleFLow Blue LED Quiet Case Fan 120mm (will be positioned on top of the cards for additional airflow) 8GB USB Flash Drive to install Ubuntu or LinuxCoin on USB Wifi Dongle (not using wired connection) No case, but DIY project No monitor, mouse or keyboard needed I would expect 1.6Ghash/s from it when overclocked = 180W max for each card Any suggestions or comments are more than welcome.

How much does that cost to build? Title: Re: The Most Cost Effective Mining Rig? Post by: typhon on June 14, 2011, 08:31:06 PM I run a very similar system w/ 3x Sapphire 5830s (haven't gone the riser route to fit a 4th).
More project right now is to build out expansion slot rigging, there's a lot of cool ideas in the Miners Forum. Title: Re: The Most Cost Effective Mining Rig?

Title: Re: The Most Cost Effective Mining Rig? Post by: CYPER on June 15, 2011, 12:44:44 AM Btw I just bought it - 1 hour ago.
Now I need to be patient and wait for the components to arrive and then I can proceed to assemble it. I'll report back if there are any troubles :) |
