Spec Check

[StarLordRammi]

Hey guys, will this be good enough to get me started with a 6x GPU setup?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/1R0CC728R2G1O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_ws_I9kAAbV9B5T4N

I'll be ordering the Frame from ebay and GPUs from elsewhere.

thank you

Does the processor comes with a cooler? If it does then you don't need aftermarket cooler.

Try v007 or v008 riser instead of riser that use sata to 6 pin adapter

You only need 4gb of ram

Never tried that psu not sure if you have enough connectors, make sure you have 6 x 6+2 pcie cable, 2 sata or sata + molex in 1 cable, you need 3 of those cable to power up 6 riser, it is not advisable to power riser via sata or some might say do not power more than 2 riser.

You need a ssd or you gonna run your OS via usb drive?

You didn't not mention what types of gpu you are getting, so not much advise can be made on psu.

it'll be x5 RX 580 Sapphire Special Edition 8GB and x1 MSI RX 580 Gaming X 8GB

i'll reduce the ram to 4GB
this one will do?

i was thinking M2 for Windows 10, can i run Windows 10 from USB?

i guess i'll change the Risers to these?

i checked description for CPU and it says Cooler is indeed included so i'll remove that as well

for mobo PRO BTC+ is showing  £330.00 on Amazon so for now ill go with Asus 6 GPU setup?

also ive switched x1 1200W to x2 750w PSU, seemed like a safer bet (bit more expensive yes)

what about this setup now?

starlord,


are you in the UK?

why not just get a used m.2 and RAM from CEX , cheap and 2 years warrenty

[StarLordRammi]

yes from UK

i'll look into CEX as one shop is 5 mins away from me

does the rest of the setup look ok?

i actually have 2 spare SSDs as well. both 60GB.

[andydis]

yea looks good!

be sure to post pics of your build mate :-)

out of interest
Where are you getting the GPU from?

[Mark12115]

seems fine!

[StarLordRammi]

most likely Amazon

one of the user on Reddit made it

another quick question (not related to above build)

at the moment i've got AX 750 PSU where i m using two of my RX 580s

my MSI is drawing 110-130W
Sapphire is drawing 70-80W
Rest of the Specs are
i7 3770k OC to 4.2GHz @ 1.128 V - Mining using CPU at 80% most of the time

i have x2 PCI-e cables
one is connected to each Card
but MSI only uses 1x 8pin and Sapphire can also be run from 1x 8pin
ive also got MSI GTX 670 that uses 2x 6Pin

can i run MSI and Sapphire from same PCI-e cable with 8 & [6+2]8 (x2 GPUs from one cable)
and use the second cable on GTX with 6+6 (1 GPU from one cable)

I used to say you don't need 8GB of RAM.  Now that I have been running 4 rigs with 8GB of RAM for a week, I realize why people do it.  The system just runs that much more stable.  Things don't seem as laggy when I'm remoted in from another location either.

If you can spend a little more and get a Pentium CPU, I would do that too.  I paid $40usd for my Celeron ... I think the Pentium was $52.  It's not that much more money.

Using 8Gb in my builds, mostly because of Windows. Also I'd recommend to install Enterprise LTSB edition, less space usage, rarer updates, no bloatware.

I use both 4GB and 8GB. I do not see any difference.
