Title: RX 470 + old parts..
Post by: januszbiznesu on June 18, 2017, 01:29:38 PM
Hello,

my RX 470 MSI Gaming 4GB has arrived, but still waiting for other parts(mobo,ram,cpu,psu, rx 570) and it will take approx 10 days :/

So the question is, is there a chance to put this RX470 into my old PC:

- C2D e6600 @ 3,2Ghz
-  Mobo Asus p5w DH Delux
- 8GB ram DDRII
- psu 750 gold+

or it will be just a gpu wasting?

Use it, difficulty is raising day by day, hour by hour.

like any computer component, if you install it incorrectly and ruin it then yes it's wasted.

your old pc should be fine for one or two gpu's mining so long as you dont have much malware and viruses on the system slowing down your every action.

i would leave the cover off of the system after the install though to minimize heat buildup.

are you still using this computer daily? or is it your spare, old pc..
