Buy the 1070 gpu. The 295x has a good hash rate (ethereum 50-60mhs), however it consumes a lot of power and generates a lot of heat. You will require one 1000w psu for each 295x2 and if you have several of them you will have to invest in cooling. Additionally, the 295x2 tends to burn VGA cables, I have a total of 4 spoilt VGA cables and 1 idle sapphire 295x2.

It`s the Rx 470,480,570,580 4GB GPU`S that will be affected not the 8GB versions.

dang i didnt get that email for the 10% or i would take up on that purchase, my 2 @ 8% were cancelled the other day, because i ordered some on ebay and on newegg.com and because they were coming from the same company they cancelled my order on ebay out.. which kinda sucked..

nice price but btc is dropping a lot

Do you think the bubble finally popped?

The bubble has not popped, bitcoin is taking a hit due to the expected hard fork. The price drop in btc is affecting all other cryptocurrencies.

Is this a decent start? Obviously no gpu on there as thh 570 is out of stock and they dont list a 470-480.

You do not need to purchase the deepcool cpu fan, the intel i3 processor is sold together with an intel fan

I thought i would come wirh one but its been years since ive built anything like this so thought id chuck that in there just incase.


The intel processor shown in thew item list will come with a cpu fan, below is photo of the open box the processor is placed at the top rectangular space


Below is an intel cpu that`s being sold without a fan

Thanks for your quick reply.

That mining software (claymore, etc.) doesn't need too much broadband when mining, it only needs a reliable connection, correct?

Mining doesn`t use a lot of data, a 6 gpu mining rig would use less than 15mb/day running claymore dual mining.

I have used this vendor,
  the cables are ok.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which motherboard for Ethereum Mining on: June 11, 2017, 04:09:35 AM
I have not used any of the motherboards you`ve listed but, I have a biostar tb85 and msi z270a pro carbon. The biostar tb85 is easier to set up and is more stable than the msi z270a pro carbon. However the biostar tb85 has 6 pcie slots while the msi z270a pro carbon has 7 pcie slots, but you can use dual gpus such as amd 295x2 or an expansion card to install more than 6 gpus on the biostar tb85.

Thanks for the info but biostar motherboards are not available here and Are these
Z270 GAMING M7
Z270 GAMING M5

also like msi z270a pro carbon?

I believe they are similar, go for the z270 GAMING M5 there is a guide on bitcointalk.org on building a 7 gpu rig on it - . In case you encounter any problems when building the rig you can refer to the link and there`ll be many people on this forum willing to help you. Also don`t purchase a intel kabylake cpu, purchase an intel celeron g3900 skylake cpu or higher.
