this makes no sense. "by the time most people have them they won't hash any better than GPUrelatively to the difficulty that GPU faces now compare to what ASIC will have to face, peoples predict a rise of 100X of the difficulty before all ordered asics are delivered". there is absolutely no logic to this statement.

hi , new here so forgive my ignorance . i just need some advice for my first ltc mining rig

 
PSU :  750w Platinum Certified . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008G9MX48/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER



Motherboard : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00863R2K4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AZCEI3EMXUPTH
              Slots: 1x PCI-Express 3.0 x16 Slot; 1x PCI-Express 2.0 x16 Slot (runs at x4); 2x PCI-Express 2.0 x1 Slots; 3x PCI slots
           
           will be  using x1 to x16 extender  like one here http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-PCI-E-Express-x1-To-x16-Riser-Card-Extender-Flexible-Ribbon-Cable-/281010792760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416d8c6938

Processor   : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4BJYVU/            
GPU   : Gigabyte 7970x3   http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Radeon-Mini-Displayport-Graphics-GV-R797OC-3GD/dp/B00752QYLK/ nive GPU but for 3 of them you need over 1000W of good quality powersupply also it will generate a lot of heat so go with risers and no case or look for the link of the "10 dollars crate case" from tacotime you can also get idea here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7216.2100and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150331.0;topicseen
RAM  :  4GB 1333Mhz

A SATA Hardisk


According to this page  http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp   Recommended Power Supply with the above hardware is 661 watt . so i choose the abvobe psu .


any suggestion ? will that psu work? for the selected hardware no . how about the motherboard or the gpu

if you are mining litecoin  please do post your hardware spec if possible

thanks in advance.

Rig is just for mining, I have a 2012 macbook pro for every day life which handles my level of gaming.

Could save 20 quid by dropping to 4gb, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-021-TG&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

But dont i need more ram than the graphics cards for LTC? in which case if i ever added a 2nd card I would have to buy more ram.usualy it's equal ram to vram for LTC and reaper only

How come a 2nd card wouldnt be ideal for gaming on this mobo?the second pcie*16 is only 1 or 4 x not 16, for gaming too slow but ok for mining

any where that I can save a little money? I would like to get this under £500 if possible. not much you already running without a case or dvd or Hd

Here you go:very nice setup except for the case it won't keep 3 7970 cool

Of course, this system is overkill, by far, for mining.

It's also overkill for gaming, unless you have three 1440p monitors that you want to game on simultaneously.

And 64 GB of memory is overkill unless you are doing things like image process, rendering, etc.

Salut,

Je te remercie pour ta réponse.

Pour l'instant je viens de monter un ordinateur avec une carte graphique 7970 Radeon 3Go, le PC m'a coutait en tout 1700€.
Je viens de découvrir le minage et là j'ai peur de foutre en l'air ma GPU, donc j'ai décidé d'acheter un nouvel ordinateur que je consacrerai à ça. utilise cette machine là quand tu ne joue pas ou quand tu fais juste du web, tant que ta température demeure sous les 80c tu ne cours aucun danger pour ta GPU

Je veux miner du Bitcoin normal. alors utilise bitminter.com, pas de besoin de beaucoup de ram ni de processeur puisant les moins chères

Quelle difference entre case fermer, ouverte?avec la grande plaque de coté enlever et une grosse fan qui pointe dedans

Pour l'instant j'ai un budget de 450€ cherche le tread avec le case à 10$, crois-tu que je pourrais commencé avec et pouvoir me faire un peu d'argent avec Bitcoin pour ensuite améliorer la config? gros risque, dépend du maintient du prix de BTC, quand les ASICS de BFL ou Avanlon 2 et 3 groupes arriveront ce sera la fin du BTC sous GPU, c'est pourquoui je te propose de miner avec ta GOu existante ou en ajouter une seconde sur ta première machine, selon le nombre de fans que tu possèdes dans ton boîtier

Merci! 

Cordialement, Buyn.
