Title: First Mining Rig Build Opinions Post by: extraicy on December 19, 2017, 01:51:08 PM Hey guys,
Im going to start building my first mining rig with 6x RX 580 8GB NITRO+ GPU's GPU - 6x Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB NITRO+ £296 CPU - Intel Celeron G3900 2.8 GHz LGA1151 2 MB Cache Boxed £34 MOBO - ASROCK H110 PRO BTC+ Intel H110 1151 ATX £124 CASE - Building one RAM - Not sure if there is a recommend type? Would any cheap DDR3 ram work? any benefits to using better RAM? PSU - Going to get a gold cert, 1200w+, any recommendations? I will be using the rig to start mining ETN.

I'm using ASUS B250, and really happy with it. Title: Re: First Mining Rig Build Opinions Post by: Undefined31415 on December 19, 2017, 08:03:46 PM For PSUs, stick to those with the guts made by reputable OEMs, such as Seasonic, SuperFlower, and FSP.
Those done by HEC, CWT, Sirfa/Sirtec, to name a few, aren't too great. To be honest, they're *probably* fine, but I personally wouldn't trust them for 24/7 operation on a powerful rig. Any no-name PSUs should generally be avoided. Also note that you can use more than one PSU, rather than a single powerful unit.
