Hey all, new to this forum and to mining. Not new to computers though. I have built several computers and have programming experience (haven't coded in a while, but I understand it). Anyway, my question is, what would be the best OS to use for mining and having multiple options to which algo and which coin I would like to mine?

I was also curious if anyone has successfully multi-booted different mining OS's on the same SSD, similar to dual booting Linux and Windows on the same SSD. I don't see why it wouldn't work but have yet to come across many people doing this. (Something like having ethOS, PIMP, Ubuntu and Windows on the same SSD and I could chose my boot option in the BIOS)

Overall though, just trying to get the best options for mining and being able to easily change algo and coin to mine. I have tried out CCMiner using Windows 7 just for fun but that is about it. A few friends have recommended using PIMP and some ethOS. I just want options in deciding which algo or coin I want to mine on the fly.


About my build, parts will all be in tomorrow, but I have 6x 1070 Ti's, i3, 120gb SSD, 8gb DDR4, 2x 750w Corsair Platinums HX750i, MSi Z270 mobo. Just want to get an idea of what I am going to load prior to jumping into the build. Thanks!
