Title: ASIC Resistant Coin Miner (Build)
Post by: ILikeMagicBeans on March 27, 2014, 06:30:57 PM
Hey all

With the powerful Scrypt ASICs just around the corner it seems likely that we will see more and more ASIC resistant coins, I thought for a bit of fun I would build a rig that is more suited to these coins.

I will have a couple of GPUs on the rig worth about 1.5MHS of hashing power (if mining Scrypt) but what additions to the set up from there... can anyone make recommendation on what sort of CPU and memory setup would make the ultimate ASIC resistant coin miner? anyone recommend a mobo that can take a shite load of CPU and memory?

Im a bit of a noob when it comes to miner building so bear with me... only got one previous build under my belt!
