I have a stupid question(about asics and gpu's in the same rig)

[DogtownHero]

I'm currently building a starter rig.

I already run two Block Eruptor usbs on my windows machine using cgminer 3.3

my question is, what challenges will i face when trying to run both usb miners off of my mining rig, comprised of two 5850's. can i just run cgminer-nogpu for the asics and cgminer for the GPU's? i plan on mining bitcoin with all of them, with a separate worker for each on my pool. the operating system of my rig is Fedora Core 19.

thanks in advance.

You can run one instance of CGMiner for your ASIC's and GPU's or split them as you described.  Either way is fine.

When I got my Block Erupters I retired my two GPU's.  I was amazed how much the noise level went down.  After running them 2+ years straight I hadn't realized how much noise GPU's make since I was accustomed to it.

You shouldnt have to do that, you should be able to run them all out of the same instance.  I have a BAMT box that runs a 5870, 5830, and BFL Jalapeno, all works just fine.

A single instance is all you need.  I'm running four 7970 GPU's & ten USB Block Eruptors in the same instance of BFGMiner right now, and it works just fine.
