Mining Rig Building help please :)
-
Hi Guys
I am looking at building a Mining rig, I am very new to this, so please help me, I have a few questions.
1. I am not going to custom build anything so first question is any recommendation for a CASE?
2. What card should I use including brand, I was thinking 7950
3. 3 card or 4 card
4. If 3 card or 4 card can someone recommend a motherboard and CPU? And a power supply?
5. I currently use GUI miner, but I see a lot of ppl using that script one, is it better what is it call?
6. Anything else I need to be aware of?Thanks

I think our mining-gurus are all in bed right now! :)
I can only recommend you to use CGminer as miningtool!
4x 7950 sounds great!
You should get more help tomorrow from our mining-section.

do you guys get more out of CG miner? how come?
also i think 4 card is great too, but i see alot of ppl mentioning over heat on 3 and 4 card setup, is it ture or just some ppl getting badluck? i am only using cases you can buy

1. No case
2. SAPPHIRE are just fine
3. 3 because motherboard price
4. Motherboard / CPU ( 64 bit ) most cheap you can find and PSU according needed electricity. Always add extra UPS not to hold the system up, but to protect the system.
5. CGMiner + linux box
6. Fallback internet connection + coolers ;) -
“5. CGMiner + linux box”

how much faster the GUI miner?

thanks
