ok I have 5 available pci-e slots on my motherboard. good look also at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163306.0 I'm goin to get 5 PowerColor AX7970 video cards I prefer gigabyte 3 fansWill this HUGE power supply handle all 5 cards? I don't know the lepa brand, use the silverstone st1500 or an other brand name and check the PS on jonnyguru review site LEPA G Series G1600-MA 1600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817494006The reason i want only one power supply is that the pcie riser cables with molex connectors specifications state NOT to use multiple power supplies. http://cablesaurus.com/PCIe-x1--%3E-x16-Adapter-Extender-Cable-w-Molex-Connector back order ps here is a neet little connector for multiple power supplies Add2Psu: How to combine multiple power supplies in a single computer Yea I know you can just cut and connect some wires but it makes it easy.  |

Bitminter est le plus facile pour le BTC  Pour miner avec GPU il faut des slots PCIe, combien en as-tu sur ta présente machine ? Les pcie*16 permettent de brancher directement les cartes graphiques, pas besoin de crossfire pour miner. les pcie*1 permettent de brancher les cartes graphiques en utilisant un câble appelé un Riser 1 à 16 et tu les maintient en l'air comme tu peux , et cela aide au refroidissement. Si tu installe plusieurs GPU 7950 dans ta machine prends garde à la surchauffe, de plus il te faut un powersupply avec 250W par 7950 + les watts de base de ta machine. Si tu veux acheter une nouvelle machine donne moi plus de détail, budget miner BTC ou LTC, case fermer ou ouvert ou pas de case.

I'M just happy that it's at 116 now |

Would the difficulty of mining actually get reduced if BTC stay down and people stop mining due to costs?
no because the asic are cominggggggggggggg and gpu will switch to alternate coins |

Will be in our hands before BFL delivers |

I have 2 coolermaster PS and no problem. 1000 is barely ok for 3 7950 so if you whant to add more later go for a bigger one or add a second PS later No motherboard support 5 pxie*16, at max you have 4, then you use riser1*16 cables to fit into a pcie*1 slot |

WOOOOOOOEEEEEEEE!!!! Up and running! Really glad I built it myself. I enjoyed the process and now feel a stronger bond with my machine as well as a newfound sense of comfort and accomplishment in an area that was previously quite mysterious to me. It's 4:20 am, so bedtime for me, tomorrow I'll install windows and start mining. Thanks everyone for the help! A few questions- There are only two slots on the power supply that are the right size for the 7950, should I daisy chain the next two cards? That seems problematic to me. no problemo Is crossfire the way to go with the 7950s? Does that just mean that I plug them into the mobo and power just like the one that is in there and then I hook up that little crossfire link dealy? Is there something more to that? no don't use the little crossfire connector not needed to mine just to play games.Once I am up and running (windows installed etc), any advice on checking to see that everything is running optimally? Where can I find out the mhash/s that my rig is producing? download msi afterburner software and install it, the best to overclock or undervolt your cards ==> also check the temperatue YOU SHOULD RUN BELOW 85c, my friend says that his 3 7950 run at 100c wich is too much he's just runing 2 and waiting for riser cables(sorry for all the newbie questions... and apologies if some of this has been discussed here already. I am reading and researching like mad and getting my hands dirty and all that, so hopefully soon I'll be answering the questions and I won't need to ask so many.) |

How many cards and what kind? nothing will beat your present open design but there is this in mid size : HAF 922 add the second 200mm fan and you have a lot of air. |

le support semble plus être à 80$ |

I like them, hope that they continue to do business, they where always online during the last few days. |

salut que est ce qui est mieux comme possesseur et carte mere. intel ou AMD le moins chèreLes cartes maîtresses AMD avec plusieurs slots PCIe*16 sont moins dispendieusesniveau possesseur est ce que un haut de gamme sera mieux qu un millieu de gamme ou aucune incidence sur le mining bas de gamme pas important pour minerniveau Carte video ca sera 3 HD 7970 edition 3Go ou 6Go 3 GIg pas besoins du 6GIGEst ce qu il y a un avantage a prendre des 7970 avec 6Go de ram NONDD SSD Pas ed besoin de vitesse, prend le moins chèreMemoire pour miner en LTC autant de RAM que de VRAM dans tes cartes videosPour miner du LTC il parrait que tu es mieux en Windows qu'en LINUX, masi je ne n'ai pas essayer encore le LTCMerci |

tu ne peux pas miner BTC et LTC en même temps , c'est un ou l'autre Moi je trouve Bitminter.com très bien |

I have no problem with them |

get a full tower case if you whant to run it closed, more fans. the HAF midtower is the best cooling at midtower size. I like the 3 fans gigabyte cards. I have 2 6970 and they run much cooler the the refernce design 6970 |
