Title: Gaming PC + small mining rig Post by: deksa on February 17, 2018, 04:14:45 PM Guys,
Currently I have this PC: MB: P8H61-M https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M/specifications/ CPU: Intel i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3,10 Ghz RAM: DDR3 8gb 1666Mhz HDD: 1TB WD Green 7200rpm GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6700 1gb DDR5 And on it I play Heroes of Newerth with these requirements: Processor - 2.4GHz Core 2 or i3 / 2.2GHz i5 or i7 / AMD 3500+ or faster RAM - 2.0+ GB for Win XP / 3.0+ GB for Win 7 Video Card - 256MB Geforce 7800+ or Radeon X1900+ OS - 32-bit Windows XP, 64-bit Windows 7 Network Connection Required (Broadband) My MB has: https://www.asus.com/media/global/products/HydtiDTDWabse1LT/oRzHKdASqACnewBN_500.jpg 1 standard GPU slot (use my current gaming card ATI Radeon HD 6700 1gb DDR5 for gaming) 2 x 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 (there I want to place PCI-Express x1 to 2-3x PCIe x1 Slots Splitters) http://cryptomining-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/pcie-slot-splitter-1.jpg I have 3x Asus dual 1060 6gb (I want to connect them on those 2 x 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots with the slot splitters) The thing is those slots are only 2.0 instead of 3.0. Will they affect hashrate? I think not. Add this PSU: http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/modular-vs-series/v750s/ I want to invest as little as possible, but if efficiency means alot I can change HDD to SSD 12gb for 60e. And finally I want those 3 Asus cards to mine and also be able to play HeroesOfNewerth on this same PC. Is that possible? I mean regarding RAM, CPU, 1 GPU for gaming and 3 GPUs for mining, that same MB that PSU and so on.... Any tips? Thank you! ;) Title: Re: Gaming PC + small mining rig Post by: PatM14 on February 17, 2018, 04:20:20 PM youre asking a lot from your pc. why not just buy the extra parts and have two separate rigs?
Title: Re: Gaming PC + small mining rig Post by: deksa on February 17, 2018, 04:25:44 PM Well thought about it but like this I will save 200-250e for things that I have already like RAM, CPU, MB...
300e is 1 more 1060 :) And I want to do ROI asap |
