Got a good contract with my electricity provider so I am coming back in to the sport.
1)First advice I would like is for a motherboard that can support 5-6 GPU (with riser of course).
I don't care if it is amd or intel, I just want the total CPU-MOBO-RAM cost to be low.
2) I am thinking of going 470's or 480's. Do 480's worth the price difference? Do 8 GB cards have any advantage?
3) How many watts psu for a 5-6 480's rig?
Finally what is best for GPU mining ATM Zec? are there any other options?
I would be very glad if some of you guys would help out an old miner
Hey there,
1) asrock H81 BTC pro, asrock h97 anniversary, asrock h61 btc pro, biostar TB85, biostar b250, MSI Z97 Gaming 5, MSI Z97-45, MSI Z170a gaming pro carbon, MSI 170a krait gaming 3x
2) 480 are slightly faster than 470, buy only if the price difference doesn't exceed 10% or so. Same goes for 8GB version (marginaly faster in most cases)
3) 6 GPU if you're mining XMR, 1000W is enough, for ZEC it is still ok, on ETH, especially if you are dual mining you should consider 1200W PSU as you rig might draw over 900W power.
