      its cheap enough and i do it just in case. I had a few machines give me weird errors that went away when i increased it to 8. I also disable my paging file because of SSD which leads to more memory required.

        cant say on the xfx. but there are a few mixed reviews on them.

        case is nice but openair is best. i promise! I really like this case above. i have modded it for my config. see below for example.

          How much are you paying for the 7970s? The XFX 7970s can be a bit of a struggle to get above 700KH/s there are a lot of posts on poor performing XFX 7970s hashing scrypt.

            $499.99 I would have purchased something different but this is the only thing that was in stock that would have high rates. I did read some of the reviews and hopefully they can be good for me.

                Just got an Auto-notification 30 minutes ago for a R9 280X. Just checked and it’s already out of stock. Crazy!

                  Step 3: Get it off the kitchen counter to keep the wife happy and start mining

                      Pretty much. I’ve got the top pushing a little over 700, middle around 650, and the lower a little bit less. Probably will put a box fan to get a little more air but the wife wouldn’t let me steal it out of our room last night. It dropped temps 5 Celsius each card when I tried it.
