Title: I have a stupid question(about asics and gpu's in the same rig) Post by: DogtownHero on July 31, 2013, 10:28:50 AM I'm currently building a starter rig.
I already run two Block Eruptor usbs on my windows machine using cgminer 3.3 my question is, what challenges will i face when trying to run both usb miners off of my mining rig, comprised of two 5850's. can i just run cgminer-nogpu for the asics and cgminer for the GPU's? i plan on mining bitcoin with all of them, with a separate worker for each on my pool. the operating system of my rig is Fedora Core 19. thanks in advance.

Either way is fine.
When I got my Block Erupters I retired my two GPU's. I was amazed how much the noise level went down. After running them 2+ years straight I hadn't realized how much noise GPU's make since I was accustomed to it.

I have a BAMT box that runs a 5870, 5830, and BFL Jalapeno, all works just fine.

I'm running four 7970 GPU's & ten USB Block Eruptors in the same instance of BFGMiner right now, and it works just fine.
