help about rig

[grchina]

Hi forum i am in need of your help,i am moving to a student dorm where i would have free electricity in a few days and would like to setup a eth mining rig with 2x rx470 8pin sapphire 4gb cards.So i need your help about what motherboard and psu to get,was planning to use my old i3 cpu with 1155 bracket and 2x4gb 1333 mhz ram+1tb sata 2 ssd and old mini atx tower.Yes i know i could mine much more with pro btc mb and 6 cards but my room doesn't have space or ac to support it .Motherboard can be second hand and I don't plan to expand rig in the future so there is no need for a 1200w psu.Thx in advance

You can startup 2x 470 4g with 500watt psu , and any old 2x 16x pcie 3.0 slots like gigabyte f2a88xm it's a small board with 2 16x pcie , you don't need raisers for just 2 cards , you can get the msi gamingx for better cooling as you will mount the cards directly onboard so you need a good builtin cooling fans.

can you suggest me 1155 socket motherboard?also does it mater if its 2.0 pci x16 version or i need 3.0?

PCI-e 2.0 is fine.

As for which motherboard to buy, anything that will fit in your case and has 2 PCI-Express X 16 slots will work for mining. It really depends on where you can find a good sale. What country are you in and what are your online shopping options for hardware there?

That motherboard would be fine for 1 Rx 470. Any working motherboard made in the past ~5 years (or more) should be able to mine with a single GPU without any problems. If you wanted to mine with 2 GPUs in a closed case then you would need a motherboard with 2 PCI-E x 16 slots (the longer ones on the motherboard).

I can't read all of it, but something like this would work.
