have anyone use BIOSTAR Radeon HD5850

[kimihiro]

I found that one computer store in my country selling this BIOSTAR Radeon HD5850 at good price, but they only gave 2 weeks warranty
so it really makes me worried

the question is, have anyone ever use this card, is it good enough? can this card last long?

TIA

I believe all Radeon HD5850 are pretty much the same. As long as you have good cooling it should last.

what kind of good cooling you suggest?

and also i read from this forum, that we can put like 4 or even 6 card at same mobo right?
what mobo is the best? i term of less money to spent ofcourse

In the mining program you can config the fan to run 100%. For motherboard, something like a GIGABYTE G1 Sniper would work for 4 cards. Also you are going to need a powerfull power supply 1000W +. In terms of money, it doesn't look cheep. With all this talk about ASIC chips coming out it sounds like Bitcoin difficulty is going to increase by a lot. It will take you over a year to break even.
