Title: x4 GPU for start what i have to build cpu mobo psu ?
Post by: commandera on February 17, 2020, 03:31:30 AM
Hey

i almost know all part and how install
i need to build


1- cpu ?
2- x4 580 or whateve r
3- mobo ?
4 psu gold and up ?
5- ram needs ?
6 - SSD or HDD ?
7 - accessoires


do not pasue me , your answer make me start

you need to post in alt coin forum not here I asked mods to move. this.

I have spent the last 4 years writing treads in alt coin section and in this section.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5144362.0


I have 9 threads there since 2016 that link is to the latest one.

good luck.

I tend to ignore questions asked by people too lazy to do any of their own research.

Besides, there are a lot better places for tutorials on how to intall a CPU.

If you only got 4 GPUs then you got many options because most motherboards unless its some mini motherboard, they have more than 4 PCIe slots. So you got lots of options here.

1) CPU - Anything works. Doesn't matter, you can use a Semprom single core CPU even. Makes no difference, just longer to boot.

4) Doesn't need to be gold, can be bronze. Just make sure its at least >750Watts and 4 or more PCIe connectors which are 6Pin. I would recommend 1000 Watts however.

5) You will need at least 4GB now but in the near future you will need slightly more due to growing DAG. Just get 8GB since its cheap

6) Doesnt matter. Won't make a difference in mining speed, just takes longer to boot. Use an old HDD from 1995 and it'll work. As long as the operating system fits on it.

7) Obviously you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, but only for installation. When its all up and running you can disconnect those. Also get some wifi adapters or some wired routers.

Enjoy

You're likely going to need USB risers. Even if that mother board has 4*PCIe16x INPUTS you'll want to spread them out for heat reasons. The risers will cost 8 USD each.

The harddrivedisk can be a flash card or usb drive it doesn't matter. There are 120gigabite drives that show up on sale for 40 USD which works well

As far as I know, system RAM requirements doesn't depend on DAG size. I wouldn't buy more than 4GB for this reason.

i think it ok to buy 8gb   today 4gb -8gb price not different too much like couple year ago.

I didn't think it mattered either however it won't work with too little ram. Try and mine with 3GB of RAM and see if the mining starts, it won't. Only way I could get mining to start with little ram was under Linux using the official ethminer from ETH dev foundation. This was in 2016 however I am sure right now its similar. But if he is using Windows and the Claymore miner he will run into issues, even if the virtual memory is set to 32GB or so.

The way the DAG buffers into the GPUs, I think it first goes into the RAM and then onto the GDDR, so if you don't have enough memory it will fail and get you some error. Plus ram is very cheap so might as well get a 8GB stick, or if budget is a factor then get like 4GB+1GB or so. The speed of the ram won't make a difference.

Is it really hard for you? to link pc part not fuckking your old port?

i lost again


1- cpu
2- motherboard
3- power
4- Riser Express Cable

all 1000$ or less with best profit gpu so maybe 570 8gb x5
