Topic: First rig. (Read 481 times)
I got the extra ram cause i am gonna mine NVC or LTC. These require more ram AFAIK. Bitcoin//sha-256 is much less ram intensive//not ram intensive as at all?
I'm going to run a rig with 2 7970s, and I'm going to run 1x4GB stick (the exact one you have actually).
Mining doesn't really need RAM. So long as the OS can operate on 4GB of RAM, 1 stick will be just fine.

LTC scripting does use RAM

Few questions. Anyone mine NVC? I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations in terms of a cheap mining rig case. I have everything except the HDD // case/build platform.

What is a safe platform to build my rig on? Thanks for any advice. I ultimately want to put 3 more 5,6,or 7XXX cards on this rig.

Of course this is all my opinion:
Mobo: good
CPU: good
GPU: good but i prefer the MSI R7950 TF ed
RAM: Good but spend a few xtra bucks on the 2x4GB DDR3 1866s if nothing else but for resale value
PSU: buy a gold or platinum for the extra wattage you get, i personally love the new i series (AX760i /860 /1200) from Corsair the monitoring software saves me a lot of time when i am OCing plus they're highly rated PSU's and you get more REAL watts out of them, that Rosewill will only give you 850w usable under full load
manufacturers wattage ratings are like car manufacturers EPA gas mileage ratings, usually not that accurate especially under >85% load
