Title: Have enough with mining, transform my mining rig to make 4K gaming rig? Post by: Kenshin on September 05, 2014, 10:49:39 AM I have enough with mining altcoin. I currently have 2 rig, here are the specs:
Rig 1: Intel Celeron, running 2 x 7950. MSI Z77A-GD65 Motherboard. AX860i PSU Rig 2: Intel 3rd Generation Core i7-3770K CPU (4 x 3.50GHz, Ivy Bridge, Socket 1155, 8Mb L3 Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0), running 1 x 7970 and 1 x 7950. AsRock Z77 OC Formula Motherboard. AX860i PSU I am thinking of stripping the Rig 1 GPUs and move them to Rig 2. And then get a smaller case for Rig 1 to just use this as a desktop computer. For the Rig 2, with the combine GPUs I will end up having 4 GPUs on one gaming rig. I am going to get a full gaming tower case (Coolermaster HAF Stacker 935 Large Tower), looking for a motherboard which support 4 GPUs, the mobo I got at the moment only support 3 GPUs. Here are some questions about the transformation of Rig 2, as I am not really that good with PC hardwares. So please give me some suggestion. 1) Should I get the Corsair AX1500i PSU, so I can have more than enough power to potential upgrade to 2 x Asus Radeon R9 295X2 or in the future? 2) If I change the mobo to Asus Maximus V Extreme will I be able to use 4 GPUs? If not can anyone recommend a good gaming mobo which support 4 GPUs with Socket 1155 CPU. 3) I am going to get Corsair H110 Hydro CPU Cooler for the CPU. And with this case I read that I can put lots of fans in this case. If I am only going to play games on this rig, will the cooling be enough? If I can help it, I don't want to touch watercooling of the GPUs, I am not that good with hardware, I might end up flooding the whole rig. 4) With 1 x 7950 and 3 x 7950 I read that I can Quadfire them together. Will the graphic be 4K? 5) Also I like the new Nvidia Shield Tablet, do I need to have a Nvidia GPU to connect to this tablet? If so I might end up getting 2 x Titan Z when they drop the price. Please help, thanks :) |
