Lets try a different way to ask this. I have not built a windows raid1 in many years. A lot of windows 7 builds 10 years ago. My friend wants me to build him a raid1 build with 2 1tb ssds. These will be the boot drives and the pc will basically be accessed from other pc's in a network to run a...

I have a buddy that a build pc's for he wants a simple raid1 build. I would use 2 1tb samsung ssd's an i5 cpu like the i5 8500 and 2x 16gb sticks of ram. I don't know which is a reliable mobo to run a raid1 using Samsung ssd's. NOTE I have not posted here in a while but any suggestions for a...

I don't need much cpu and I know the t does 6 watts less then the none t . So while 6 watts is not much. They will run 24/7/365 so in a day 144 watts in a week about a kwatt my power will be 13 cents so $6.50 per year x 10 pc's = $65.00 a year. Which is the price of 1 cpu. The g3900 will...

Okay I can find the intel g4400 but I want the intel g4400t Same is true with the intel g4500 vs the intel g4500t My needs call for the cheapest t cpu and I can't seem to locate any at all. this link should show the g 4400t vs the g 4400 ARK | Compare Intel® Products this link should...

yep I have 9 of them mining as I type. and amd needs miners. gamers only need wait a bit for the coin to tank and guys like me will sell the gear. I earned enough money on my 8 rx 480s to have paid 1 off already. Which means I can sell it at a good discount to a gamer.

I got 1x Rx 470 on the way today at 209 the sapphire 4gb card. It will go in a mining rig. Basically ordered it just to have one. At this point I have capped out my power/heat numbers until the fall and cooler weather arrives. 1x rx 470 9x rx 480 4x r9 390 14 cards about...

that is really bad I can get 27mh on a reference. but I shoot for 24.5-25.5 as I seem to get best watts per mh. My best rig is a four card biostar z170 I can do 585-595 watts for whole system and get 99-101mh with four reference 8gb sapphires

The miners are getting their rigs filled. I am almost there. I have 1 from frys coming today. I have one from newegg coming sat. that will fill my last empty slot. I will then have to decide to stick with what I have or offload the three r9 390's and get 3 more rx 480's. less hash...

yeah I got caught and lost the coupon too.

Well not for nothing but as a heavy user of gpus to earn money and not game the rx 480 is a better card then the r9 390. THE last 4-5 months have seen big profits mining eth coins and this effects the gpu market. https://etherchain.org/ the network hash rate is 4th since 40 rx...

Well as a 95% miner 5% gamer. A smaller miner with a 6 card rig is not the problem. Its a guy that has 60 cards. I am mostly on bitcointalk. we had one guy with 48 cards and another with 20 cards. They resold at say 285 vs 249 making 36 a card. They kept a few to mine. So they...

I have been trying to get these cards as they work well for mining. I have spent many hours working at it. I mine I almost never game. Too old reflexes are not there. They are hard to get at the correct prices.

they are okay I have purchased custom from them more then once. They tend to be pricey. http://www.moddiy.com/ here is a sales code SUMMER15 they are in china or hong kong but they take paypal

100% 16.7.1 100% Eth I set fans temps and power limit nothing else for 2 cards. I read 24.45 + 24.8 = 49.25 software but at pool I get 48.7 this card is using 4 extra watts to drive the display I flux on power 297 to 312 if I want lower I can do 23 + 23 = 46 and get 273...

Has been a big improvement for me. on rx 480s and on r9 390's
