Title: My mother board is used to mine with how many boards? Post by: ErickV on October 21, 2021, 05:54:41 PM I'm starting now in the mining world and I have an 8+ year idle machine that has the motherboard model asus-m4a79xtd-evo:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fvxfrH/asus-motherboard-m4a79xtdevo I'm in doubt, does it support beginner mining?, and if so, how many GeForce 3070 graphics cards would this motherboard support in a rig? I really want to use 2 graphics cards to start, which power supply would I recommend to start with only these 2 graphics cards using this motherboard?

With a pcie splitter you can use more than 4 card for sure. I recommend 1000w power supply, to have some free space for more cards. Less makes no sense in my opinion.

Problems begin after installing the fifth or sixth video card (although the new cards have the same).
If you have 2 only 2 video cards, then you can buy a 750 watt power supply. The main thing is that it has enough 8 pin connectors. Then you can buy a second power supply for the other two video cards. |
