Title: building a miner, need advice Post by: godofal on June 23, 2011, 04:00:32 PM so, i decided to build a dedicated miner
ofcourse i want as much Mhash/s for my bucks, so i went for a cheap motherboard, CPU and ram, a good PSU and a high-end graphics card this translates to: motherboard: ASUS p5kpl-vm CPU: E6750 2.66Ghz CPU cooler: Scythe Ninja mini cooler RAM: 2Gb DDR2 PSU: OCZ modXstream pro 700W (overkill?) graphics: HD6990 now, the question i mostly have: is the mobo/CPU combi good enough? and 700 watt seems a bit overkill to me, wouldnt 600 or even 500 watts be enough (without later adding of graphics cards) |
