It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

put the wallets on your 1TB if you can, block chains can get very big ;-) but as 256GB SSD should handle it easy. my mining rig runs off my gaming/media/server/storage pc ;-) so i have most my stuff stored on my server drives, OS, ccminer etc. are all on my SSD, and i am only running a 120GB for my OS Finally got my NVML reading temperatures and device names thank god. so i will be putting that into my webserver ccminer module soon and get formatting up my webpage properly |

I cant game anymore so :O why not? make sure you have atleast 1 display gpu to game on!  and aslong as the motherboard has 3 PCI-E 2.0 slots, and your going to use powered risers it should be fine to my knowledge the number of pci-e 2.0 ports is the only real limitation aslong as your using powered risers |

It seems like an expensive board. Why don`t you consider Asrock pro btc. It has 6 pci-e slots and has no issues with mining.
You can.

you can but pcie 3.0 goes mental with extra interrupts. mine did it and i had no usb at all if they are pcie 3.0 ports, you should be able to change them to 2.0 in the bios |

oh ok. anyways after next release pcie bandwidth wont matter much so doesnt matter which gen you will be running on. Am I right?
@liomojo1
Also Asus mobo has wifi GO which is remote access through wifi on other devices so i wont have to use teamviewer etc.
BTW what s/w you people use for remote access?

right now i am building a webserver module so i can control it from a webpage, thats shutting off miners, starting miners, and seeing all their details. just got my code showing the following gpu details for me to implement Name Temperature Fan Speed Total Amount of Memory need to figure out why i can't get gpu utilization using NVML and why i can't get the proper readings for used memory, just gives me 57 at the moment  |

sooo, who's up for doing some profit calculations for us?  groestl is now no longer profitable after the huge amount of people that jumped onto it when the price shot up. right now with 3 750Ti's, and a power usage of only 155W for the entire system, daily profit is £0.08 or $0.12 sooo, profit calcs anyone? Ask and you shall receive.  As always, this is with 8 750 Ti's with an occasional 9th assist. If groestl gets way more hashes expect it to be one of the higher paying coins. |

I you get 2 gtx880, I think you should still consider gaming (will be a great rig... after that the possibility of switching between mining or gaming will rely a lot on the cpu you choose, low end cpu won't really work for gaming) |

Thank you  And from what i hear, pcie speed doesnt make too much of a difference. So you may be able to yeh hmm it seems that NVML doesn't support a lot on the 750Ti's cant get clock speed, can't get memory utilization or gpu load, that sucks |

New into mining. I'm mining on Asus GTX 780 stock no OC and getting about 530KHs. My computer is on 24/7 usually gaming when I'm on and mining with I'm off. I curious about my temps. Right now I'm GPU temps of 65-69C and VRM temps of 70-74 with the fan on 80%. Is this in the safe zone kinda?

Anything below 75c is safe IMO but less is better anyway. |

If the temperature is too high, the card will clock itself down so dont worry about it
