Hey guys, I'm aware this is a bit off topic...but since we are discussing about mining and so on - I'm looking for a motherboard for AMD CPU, AM3+ socket.
I'm using a AMD FX8320 and have real trouble with oc (now I have really shitty mobo).
Max 100 €.
Been googleing and so on, but I'd like to hear also from you guys, since I'm pretty sure many of you use AMD CPUs.
You can also send me PM if you don't think its appropriate discussing it here.
Thanks,
brgds
This is the one I've come across: ASRock 990FX Extreme9 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 (
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157358). It'll be advantageous along with GPU mining, typically 4 GPU I did. With AMD 8350 on this board, about 80 kh/s, no specific optimization. However, recently I found that AMD is kinda sh*t. After moving 8350 to another 'cheap' board, hash was down to about 50 kh/s. What's made me this feeling is that recently I used my laptop (with AMD) to compile few stuffs, which came out some sh*t, unportable to other machines/VB box (Illegal instructions), just waisted a lot time; while I set up a VB in my intel machine, everything just runs happily in all my home pcs. I'm not a tech in this side, can't figure why.
For CPU mining, I came across MSI H81M-P33 V2 LGA 1150 Intel H81 + i5 which produces about 70kh/s, very impressive, importantly producing much less heats. The board is really cheap compared to AMD. Simply load a Linux os in a flash driver, no need of any expensive components except $200 bucks i5; ofc you can run few GPU too.
@goldlabel, the game looks impressive, can't wait, I'll play it when I find time.
