Title: New mining rig 5 gpu
Post by: Silvano on January 18, 2014, 03:32:24 PM
Hi all.

i'm building a new mining rig, and i need some advice.
mining rig is composed by:

motherboard: AsRock 970FX Extreme4
CPU: sempron 145 box
Ram: DIMM DDR3 Geil 4GB (2x2GB)PC3-10660 1333MHz Enhance Corsa (is enough?)
PSU: 2x Lc power 1000w 80+ gold (one for mobo and 2 gpu, one for 3 gpu, are they adeguate?)
unfortunately, the best choice, PSU Aerocool templarius Imperator 1150 80+gold is still unavailable in italy :(

3x PCi-E 16x to 16x powered riser cards
2x PCI-E 1x to 16x powered riser cards
1 adaptor "add2psu"

i want to run my rig with BAMT by a usb pendrive. (any suggestion is welcome, i'm totally ignorant about linux OS)

i buy also termal coupound Arctic Coolin MX4.

so, which GPU?

i'm looking for:
Sapphire R9 280x Vapor X (11221-02-40g) price 290 euro
Sapphire R9 280x Dual X (11221-00-20g) price 265 euro
Sapphire R9 280x Toxic (11221-01-40g) price 302 euro
Gigabyte R9 280x OC (gv-r928xoc-3gd) price 280 euro
Asus R9 280x DC2T (90yv0500-MONA00) price 290 euro

do anybody use one of this cards, could post hashrate, temp and consumtion of? eventually whit OC setting, clock, memory and voltage?

My minumum target is 720 Khash/s and since power costs too much here, it's importat for me well understand the best deal for optimize all.

tnx all for help :)

1) toxic - best oc
2) asus - good oc
3) gigabyte - abt 730 khs in cgminer

And i think that u need at least 8gb ram

I think 6GB are enough for 5 gpu
