Title: Hobby Rig - Help Needed Post by: nuggetbram on February 14, 2014, 12:59:36 PM As the title suggests, I'm looking to build a simple rig for the fun of it, and have space for 2 cads on an older pc. I'm currently looking at some of the older 5 and 6 series cards on ebay, which seem pretty cheap for 300-400kh/s each. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they worth the ~$80 each?
The second question is to do with power. I have 3 spare ( I think 450W) PSU's, and I doubt one will be capable of running two cards. Would I be able to plug one PSU into the motherboard, and have the other supplying the pcie power connector things, or would I need one of those 2 PSU - 1 adapters. If so, which would I plug into the gpu power sockets? EDIT: I have three 400W PSUs Thanks, |
