Any updates on this? I plan on buying the OS tonight and giving it a try once my GPU's come in. I work with a couple guys who have used it and say it is really good.

Thanks guys, yeah, after some research, I am going to stick to probably a dual boot of Windows 7 and Pimp OS. Run those for a bit and see how they do. Again just mainly comes down to getting the cards in.

Only updates I have as of now. Rig is built, the 6x 1070 Ti's delivery date just keeps getting pushed further and further out which is extremely aggravating. I have since ordered 2x 1080's and a 1070 from Best Buy, all of which will be in by Friday/Saturday (I actually have tracking #'s). I have installed Win 7 on the machine just to test everything, all is well. After some more research, I am pretty satisfied with what pimp os offers and will most likely just have a single boot to pimp. I may still try to dual boot pimp and windows. Main thing now is the GPU's. I just want to get everything setup prior so all I have to do is install the cards into the rig and go. Which I am almost there 👍

Here is the rig so far.... Just pulled my GTX 770 for the time being to size the rig and test it all. Built the frame myself. Came out decent I think! Just can't wait to fill it up!

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!
