Title: Miner Build x2 Post by: namley on May 26, 2011, 07:39:41 AM Building 2 new rigs as a short term investment while the difficulty rate for mining is still someone feasible
Here is the setup, wondering if anyone has some positive tips on the hardware before I click the buy button. Setup =========================================== Motherboard - ASRock 890FX http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157208 CPU - AMD Sempron 140 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103698 RAM - Kingston 1GB 240-Pin http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134784 GPU(s) - 3xPowerColor AX6870 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131373 PSU(s) - 2xhec X-Power Pro 600 http://www.newegg.ca/Shopping/ShoppingItem.aspx?ItemList=N82E16817339025 =========================================== Thank god for a nice tax return, I plan on building 2 of these rigs. Total Rig Cost $976.31 Shipped Grand Total $1952.61 With an overclock on those 6870's I should be able to force about 450MHash's out of the cards, hoping to average 2.5-2.7 GHash/s Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated.

You'll top out around 300-310 per card. Odds are good that some of them won't even reach 270. Title: Re: Miner Build x2 Post by: namley on May 26, 2011, 08:26:07 AM Thats all!? I get 304 with my 5830 overclocked.
Title: Re: Miner Build x2 Post by: namley on May 26, 2011, 08:39:51 AM According to the Hardware comparison chart, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
Thats pretty accurate, wow. May as well, save $500 and go with 5830's |
