Title: so, if your curious, pop in. Post by: HITTI2 on June 24, 2017, 01:42:45 PM So, I was given to me a PC exchange to get the pictures off it for her. She has now a laptop.
Came with a maxtor sata 1.5Gb/s 200GB hdd, WD 40GB hdd. I guess the diamond of the PC is https://www.amazon.com/PNY-VCG96512GXEB-GeForce-S-Video-Graphics/dp/B001E71H5K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498310814&sr=8-1&keywords=pny+9600gt https://i.imgur.com/iAlWDET.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Dvg8atu.jpg Here is the entire PC taken somewhat apart to see whats inside. It's an AMD cpu and board with 4 sata ports and a "i haven't heard in a long time" BFG 650w PSU. https://i.imgur.com/UwdoLpK.jpg Any worth keeping as far as for mining any kind of crypto currency?

Post by: mcturkey on June 24, 2017, 02:26:18 PM The GPU is not going to be of any use - it's way too old. If it could even mine, it would never make enough to cover the cost of power used to run it.
You could run 4 GPUs off that motherboard, but keep in mind that the CPU is power hungry compared to a newer proc. I'd be very wary of an older PSU like that - it's at least 7 years old, as BFG Technologies closed down in 2010. Even if BFG were still running and had been known for quality (they weren't), a PSU from 2010 is going to be really inefficient. |
