Title: Stumped on Mining, a newbie Post by: h3m96 on February 24, 2014, 02:10:07 AM Hi! I love this forum by the way, been reading for months. I have 2 Radeon R0 270X cards and a 600 watt Corsair CX600 ATX power supply. What else do I need to mine Litecoin? I want to stay as simple as possible. I already understand how mining works, I have a wallet and mining pool already set up, but I just need to know: can I hook up these 2 Radeon graphics cards in a computer I have here at home? If not, why not? I don't want to buy a motherboard, etc., unless I have to. If I do have to, what are the minimums I would need to get started?
I really appreciate any help/input! You guys are fantastic! Title: Re: Stumped on Mining, a newbie Post by: Unacceptable on February 24, 2014, 08:12:44 AM Hi!

You guys are fantastic! What mobo do you have ??? You may need a bigger PSU,mining is extremely intensive & consumes a lot more power than gaming ever will............ BTW,here's what I use for my miner software,its easy & simple....just like me :D Scroll down to GUIminer version: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=7722.0 All you need is your vid drivers up to date,no Zadig or FTDI drivers,no compiling,no config files,no bat files 8) Something to look thru :D https://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison Title: Re: Stumped on Mining, a newbie Post by: h3m96 on February 24, 2014, 11:46:09 AM What is a mobo? I was just going to use one card at first, and maybe add the second. I thought that would be sufficient with the power supply I have? Thanks for the reply. I already knew about GUIMiner-Scrypt. I am just curious why can't I use an old computer I have to do the mining? I have a few Dells with Intel processors and a couple of AMD processors in newer computers.

No need to buy any hardware, just need some btc to buy Khash/s http://scrypt.cc?ref=baars (http://scrypt.cc?ref=baars) Title: Re: Stumped on Mining, a newbie Post by: Four-Rings-Workshop on February 24, 2014, 04:07:38 PM Simpliest way is cloud mining.

Your video cards are pci-e x16, your homecomputer prob only has one slot if not a gaming machine. I suggest you setup one and later can add #2 on a riser. Make use of what isalready at hand The 600w will do one easy but not enough for two stabe. Just my two satoshis. Title: Re: Stumped on Mining, a newbie Post by: h3m96 on February 24, 2014, 09:06:32 PM Thanks Four Rings. That does help! I will try out the one card on a computer I have. I see all these videos of people making rigs, and I don't need a complicated setup, just something simple at first so I know what I'm doing. Oh, I do ignore people like that above.
