Who Has Got Their Rigs Ready?

2x AMD 290x and one nvidia 970 ti. Not much but works.

 

1 x 4790k, 1 x Titan x, 1x GTx 760. Never tried mining with it but ... maybe it will work.

Just hope that none of those Rigs that are mining BTC or similar atm won't switch too fast

 

That Titan it's making miracles xD

 

Hell yeah. Just got it 3 weeks ago and dropped the GTX 570.
I wanted to get the Titan Z but too much for me that one.

 

I would kill to have my build ready, but am currently studying abroad till February - so I might just purchase a few coins.

 

I've never mined anything but I was thinking about setting up a simple machine to do some mining - just to learn how it's done.
Would appreciate any tips on a recent and decent tutorial on how to build a sub $2000 rig and any other advice on how to get started.
Cheeers!

 

Not much to building a rig.
PSU+cheap Mainboard + minimal RAM+ cheap CPU(with cooler) and the best ATI card you can buy (or more than one).
I do say ATI instead of Nvidia because blake256 is the kind that runs better on ATI architecture (they are also a bit cheaper than the Nvidia counterparts). At least until someone makes a good CUDA miner. As far as i managed to read so far the ATI's offer better bang for the buck.
You don't even need a drive for it. Just a flash drive with a live OS (linux/Win7) running the mining scripts/software.

 

Thanks! Really kind of you! Will try to set this up in during the weekend. Again, thanks!

 

Good job explaining mate, keep it up.

There will be tutorials with everything provided so you set up your rigs, no worries.

 

Don't mention it pkothbauer.
Costin : really not a big deal. just basic info.

 

We should setup a benchmark page, where people can post benchmarks of theie rigs

 

We have the wiki page. That will be the place and I'm sure it'll be a thread soon after the release.

 

I'm really interested to see what the Titan will do vs. my R9 295x2. I'll be sure to post benchmarks to wiki once everything is ready, hope everyone will do the same.

 

Anyone has any good tips on good motherboards that will support AMD Radeon R9s? or compatibility issues to stay away from

 

I have a Gigabyte MB and it's making the hell of a job.

 

I am planning to go with a R9 nano + r9 fury x together or a dual r9 nano crossfire mainly based in the concern of a no CUDA optimized miner, my problem is I can set 2 rigs right now.. 1 with titan x (sorry wow) and another with the 2 nanos. complete different motherboards. so seating on the fences

 

I have my 3x dual amd 280X setups ready to rock and roll. Hoping that the launched miner will support gpu mining on linux. so i am already on my toes.
