Title: 1070gtx + biostar ? Post by: lapolis on June 15, 2017, 05:25:02 PM Hi everyone.
I'm new here I hope to find the solution to the problem that kept me awake for several nights.. ??? I've been reading a lot about different rig configuration and I came out with this one: MoBo: Biostar Motherboard TB250-BTC CPU: Intel Celeron G3900 2.8 GHz LGA1151 2 MB Cache GPU: EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming 8 GB ACX 3.0 RAM: HyperX FURY 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 2133 MHz DDR4 CL14 DIMM PoS: EVGA Supernova 1000 W 80 Plus Modular Gold G3 The GPUs are 2 or 3 in the beginning but I will add one every month (hopefully) until I have all of the 6 slot full. I didn't mention all the cables, extender, cpu cooler and eventual extra fan but I know I have to buy them. ;) The second similar version is: MoBo: ASRock H81 Pro BTC Motherboard CPU: Intel Celeron G1840 Processor 2.8 GHz LGA1150 GPU: EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming 8 GB ACX 3.0 RAM: HyperX FURY 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1866 MHz CL10 DIMM PoS: EVGA Supernova 1000 W 80 Plus Modular Gold G3 First of all is 1000W enought? and for how many GPU? Any opinion? Should it works for ETH? Suggestions accepted! ;D Thanks in advance to all! Title: Re: 1070gtx + biostar ? Post by: philipma1957 on June 15, 2017, 05:26:18 PM Hi everyone.

I use these http://www.ebay.com/itm/SR2L1-Intel-Intel-Core-i5-6400T-Processor-for-V230ICUT-07-All-In-One-Desktop-/142408684804? any cooler will do. I mine with the cpu xmr pays for itself http://www.ebay.com/itm/SILVERSTONE-NT09-115X-92mm-CPU-Cooler-/381679134570?hash=item58ddd9676a:g:e~MAAOSw-4BXapCd Title: Re: 1070gtx + biostar ? Post by: Emoclaw on June 15, 2017, 05:29:35 PM If the second rig is cheaper, get that instead along with an EVGA 1000W P2 PSU, which is 80Plus Platinum efficiency.
Otherwise, just get the Biostar but try to get a G2 PSU at least. Do NOT get the G1 in any case, considerably lower quality than G2/G3. 1000W should be enough for 6-7 GTX 1070s. EDIT: You could also ditch one stick of the RAM and go with 4GB to lower costs. Title: Re: 1070gtx + biostar ?

If he is not going to mine with the CPU, what is the downside of the G3900? Or, what is the upside of the i5-6400T which justifies its higher cost?I use these http://www.ebay.com/itm/SR2L1-Intel-Intel-Core-i5-6400T-Processor-for-V230ICUT-07-All-In-One-Desktop-/142408684804? any cooler will do. I mine with the cpu xmr pays for itself I use the Pentium G4400T on this mobo with 4 EVGA 1080Ti cards with no problem. |
