never saw that ether 1 or 2 gig only

there is a tread that tell's you how to make your own powered riser by addind a molex.  |
|
|
|
litecoin need more power because it uses memory, but bitcoin uses no memory so you need less power. IMO you never have to much power |
|

Drg you said elsewhere that more then 3 7970 will fry the pcie*16 power pins. So he will need at least 1 Power riser no for 4 cards ?

I've been handed $4,000 and asked to build a mining rig. If you had to spend somebody elses money to build a rig, and share 50% of the profits for your time, and not have to worry about power, what would you build? I like shopping on newegg, but I always check amazon and other places for a better deal. I really wanted to get a butterfly labs 50 GH/s asic miner, but I'm not about to fork over somebody elses money and say we'll get the product in a year, if at all. spend 2000 for gpu rig and 2000 on bflDo I go for 7970, or a 7950 GPU? Do I put 3 GPU's on a single motherboard, or build 3 single GPU miners? 3 7950 cards [on one mobo to reduce the price of the over head cheap ram and cpu/color]
I know the CPU and memory aren't important, as a celeron will work just fine on 2 gigs of memory.
I'm mainly looking for advise on the GPU, motherboard, Power and what OS to run it on (win or linux?)7950 gigabyte with 3 fans they are great, open air case with riser, mobo with 3 pcie*16 and the pcie*1 to expand later, linux is a bit more performan but much more complicated then Windows
Thanks!

what you really need are risers to be able to use your 1X pci-e to connect with your cards on an open case .
look at the minirig picture tread

|
|

look for the thread on the 10 dolars case open air.

salut install le driver 13.1 et le SDK. Utilise Bitminter.com le plus simple, c'est un pool et un mineur. Tu n'a qu'a créer un compte, puis mineur sur le site et downloader le logiciel de minage et de redire ton compte et le nom du mineur dans le mineur. |

Some early adopter dumped a lot of coins, and now it's backup over 200 |

Hey everyone, I've recently stumbled upon the emerging cryptocurrency phenomenon and I'm interested in investing around $500 on a basic mining setup. I currently have a MacBook Pro which from my understanding is unfit for mining. you are rigthI'm planning on purchasing an extremely basic computer/OS (Inspiron 660s, Windows 8?) and installing a decent graphics card. I have basically zero technical skills as of now so building my own setup isn't really an option. I have a few questions: 1. Does the OS matter at all? linux is a bit faster then windows but much more complicated2. Is memory important at all for mining? not for btc you for LTC3. Is hard drive a factor to consider? no4. I've heard a lot about overheating. Is buying a case the best solution for this, or should I consider computers with superior cooling abilities to the Inspiron 660s? (I don't know if there's a quantitative measure for cooling capacity) run open case with an externor fan toward it, DOES DELL sell high end graphic card cheap ? Any help or responses to all or any of my questions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible at this stage. search for the tread of the 10$ case Thanks! |

before spending 2000$ on someone's idea, just do your home work, and read the tons of threads on mining rigs; and finish with a search for the 10$ crate case ring and guiminer scrypt or bitminter.com |

Nobody is replying because there is no answer to that question.
There are 3 companies that make ASIC's for Bitcoin mining
Avalon - SOLD OUT batches 1, 2 & 3 - This means that you can't buy one until they decide to make more
ASIC Miner - Mining with their equipment, not selling it - This also means that you can't buy one
BFL - Taking their sweet ass time - You can buy one, but have to wait in line for it with the 1,000's of other people that have pre-ordered
Those are your current choices.
EDIT - You can't build your own ASIC rig either
So, if I cannot build an ASIC miner on my own, there is anybody who knows if some of those three companies is looking for funding to get a bigger production?  they have all the money they need, it's just time that they need BFL waiting line is 4 months or more?  yes and people have been waiting in line since june 2012Greetings! so gamble on buying BTC directly or mining with GPU for a few months |

great show liked it a lot merci beau travail |

bitminter.com is the easyest to mine |

Still not sure if this question has been answered. Can a 6GB card outperform a 3GB card if core, mem and voltage are identical? If so, by how much?
a 7990 with 6 gig is double the speed of a 7970 with 3 GIG (also 1 GPU instead of 2 ) bad exemple. 2 gig 7870 or 1 gig 7870 is a better question, don't know the answer |

the less price for the the most MHZ OC model or boost . As I said before when many graphics cards use riser and no case no case : 2 or 3 fan model or a case with lots of fans : standart reference model 1 fan that blows the heat outside |

4x250W TDP = 1000W, + 150W for the cpu, ram, hdd, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
they (the 2* 6 pins) can come from any source, the same cable is ok, even 2 molex adapter, anyway 1200W is overkill.

your mobo has 2 slots 16 bits so you're ok for 2 video cards. yes you can mine with just one card. for BTC and even LTC 4 GIG is on windows 7 32 bits is fine but limit. PS is ok, but old. Everything is fine just keep the cost down and run as is. PS bitminter.com is the eseayest pool/miner |
