1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Mirrax's HIGH RISK altcoin investment guide for 2017 on: May 02, 2017, 05:31:16 AM
Wow just found this thread and went through the old pics (2016) and now this 2017 and you were spot on  I feel like I missed the boat already Sad

My question.. do you still recommend that we get in on these five coins at their current price levels?  I have about $2500 dollars i want to invest. Don't really want to get in on litecoin,ether,etc,bitcoin so I'll drop them on the best 3-5 with the best potential to make me the best profit trying to figure out which one(s)  from your list to go all in on.What do you suggest how do you think i should spread the $2500 among your recommend list.. do you still recommend these same five coins or do you have any other ones with potential to make a good return.

thanks man

You have too many questions to just jump into a 4 card rig - especially 4 6950s which would get pretty hot.

1) That 500W requirement is for laymen.  Each 6950 will use 120-200W depending on how you clock it and what coin you mine.

2) Most good PSUs will have 2-8 6/8 connectors.  If you want 4 cards on a rig, you should have 800+ and the PSU should have 4-8 plugs.  Any missing plugs you can use 4 pin molex to PCIe connectors.

3) No motherboard lets 4 cards sit in there (think about how big the board would be) except maybe one of those MSI Big Bangers.  You'll need/want to use risers unless you live in a very cold area

4) For 4 card you want open or custom made rack.  You can either run the GPU fans fast or use a box fan aimed at the open system.

I suggest you build a 2 card rig and learn from the heat issues since that's the biggest problem with mining.  Once you learn that then go on to build a 4 card rig.

Thanks for your answers. Whats the different between a riser and an extender? will a riser allow me to buy a cheap motherboard and use its regular 1x pci ports to connect my cards(pci-e 16X )

I'm planning on buying 3-4 Ati 6950's cards for mining:

1) The card requires A 500 watts..does that mean i need a 2000 Watts PSU?HuhHuh What am i missing here? How many watts are really needed to run 4 of these cards

2) Also requires two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors.... does that mean that i need a PSU that has eight 6-pin PCI express power connectors?? Most PSU come with 1 6-pin PCI express...How do I hook up the other 3 videocards then?

3)What motherboard will allow me to just throw the cards in there and get them up and running without having to use risers/extenders/etc?

4)is it better to put this all in a case or have an open air solution(if so, how exactly do i keep these cards cool...no fans need to be added?)

Sorry for all the newbie questions. i am trying my very best to setup a ring and its my first time.
