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.
