Title: BitCoin Mining Rig Post by: msaadw on May 01, 2013, 11:43:50 AM Hi,
Would like to get help for the required configuration of a PC for first mining rig. I have availability of either of the GPU cards: Asus EAH5850 DirectCU / 2DIS / 1GD5 @ US$220/- Asus EAH6950 / 2DI2S / 2GD5 @ US$350/- HIS HD 6750 Fan 1GB GDDR5 @ US$110/- Please give your suggestions with the PC configuration I should go with to start the BitCoin mining rig. Title: Re: BitCoin Mining Rig Post by: baka on May 01, 2013, 11:59:31 AM Consider searching for used GPUS, I got myself a used 5870 for ~160$. I you can't find any I'd say the 5850. But frankly for 350$ you should be able to get a 7950.
Edit as for the rest of the components -cheapest CPU you can find( can be a celeron or sempron) and a resonably priced motherboard -a 380W-430W 80+PLUS Bronze or Gold power supply made by Seasonic/Kingwin/Super Flower -any hard drive.

Ok. What should be minimum ram for this ? and any version of Windows should work ?

MAYBE you would see a btc in 20 days with 3 x 7990 Title: Re: BitCoin Mining Rig Post by: SolidSnke on May 01, 2013, 12:38:25 PM 4gbs is all you need

MAYBE you would see a btc in 20 days with 3 x 7990 What should be a minimum configuration for a startup mine which can get 1 btc a day atleast ... Title: Re: BitCoin Mining Rig Post by: middlemarkal on May 01, 2013, 12:57:55 PM I don't know where you live but those prices are expensive for old technologies, look for a 7790 if you want inexpensive cards. ;D

Or wait for tha ASCI ? Title: Re: BitCoin Mining Rig Post by: solidshotnosh on May 01, 2013, 01:19:34 PM It's time you do a lot more reading before just making snap decisions.
And it's going to be along time before ASIC miners become readily available if you aren't already on a waiting list. |
