It is better to GPU mine.
Dear friends I too need advise in setting up a new minig rig. Some suggest that it is better to go for asic miner X11 or latest. Kindly advise if there is any particular brand to look for if opting for asic
Asic is better than gpu
Right all hardware is here, Apart from a couple of PCI-E 6+2 cables but they are due first thing...
Will get some pics of the rig when i have got it all together tonight.
Will be installing windows 10 tonight onto the MOBO and setting up so i can work remotely from indoors.
Any suggestions on the setup side of things?
I plan to run 1 GPU while installing windows ect then do i need to install each card separate?
Regarding the PSU too i have EVGA 1300W G2 when powering this up is there any safe or unsafe way of doing so, Do NOT want to blow her up on first attempt!

Will that be like the pics that you stole from some Malaysian bitcoin mining operation showing your alleged equipment for your ecobitcoin scam?
Guys i have everything ordered and arriving!

Next Question is... Will i need any more power? I can grab a 750W from my local pc world if needs be, Not sure how much juice 4 cards and the MOBO will require.
Another question is will i need any special cables for any of the bits? i believe the PSU comes with 6-8 cables for connecting the cards but they have not been delivered yet so i do not know for sure.
Thanks guys!

Very nice James Wright. Buying mining gear with the money you conned a lot of people out of. Don't worry though, you just keep posting things online so we can gather more evidence. There is a case open against you with Action Fraud. Screenshots of this thread have been taken and will be added to the case file.
Thank you for being the worlds bummest online scammer to hit the planet earth!
You are done for mate!
Just to let everyone here know that farnhamit is James Wright and he scammed a lot of people on Facebook with his ponzi scheme ecobitcoin.co. He's still the admin of the FB group Plexcoin where he started his scam. He probably used the bitcoins (more than 11) that he stole to buy this hardware.

1300w power is Fairly enough for the 4 TI's, However, I guess you're short on cables, as the psu only has 6x 8pins(6+2) and 2x 6Pins.
basically you still need this in order to power them all.

Thanks Leonix!
So i will need 4 of these to run from the PSU to the GPU correct?
This is all very new to me, yet very exciting, Love new projects very eager to get running before BTG is minable.
Yep, there are still challenges ahead of it, we are only talking about hardware here, prepare for the software side.
Goodluck!

If You do not mind to use server PSU with PICO adapter then look here: http://www.parallelminer.com/product-category/power-supply-kit/ and http://www.parallelminer.com/product/160watt-24pin-atx-power-module-included-sata-molex-cpu-power-connectors-bypass-your-atx-power-supply-entirely/ .
A lot cheaper than ATX ones!
My rig runs on 2 PSUs: GPUs,risers+some random stuff on 2400w server PSU and MOBO on 700w LEPA Gold rated PSU (You do not really need that powerful for just powering MOBO but I got an awesome deal on it)
Using the same MOBO what You want to get and also using Celeron G1840 on it. Everything works very well!

So i have decided to go for GPU instead of ASIC (Main reason being L3+ Availability 2nd reason if i dont get along with mining it can be easier to sell this equipment on)
Decided to go for....
5 ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
1 EVGA Supernova 1600w
1 EVGA Supernova 1300W
H81 Pro BTC R2.0??? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MOBO?
Also what else am i going to need to run this!
Software is fine getting win.10 and will get the mining programs from pools.
Is there anything im missing?
I am new to this and this will be my first rig, Should be picking most of the kit up on Monday.

Beast cards, great for mining
You also don't need that much wattage. Just get two 850W Gold / Platinum PSUs.
I also wouldn't use that mobo. It's bios isn't updated as much and don't expect that much support. It's only 6 PCI-e lanes, and there are tons of other mobos that have 6 PCI-e lanes.
Also you need, CPU, RAM, SSD/HHD and cable risers.
Should i change the PSU to 2X 850W? I want to upgrade my rig to 8 GPU one day would it be worth throwing the extra in now for 1600W or go for 2 850?
https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/10/23/shop.png
Generally 2 smaller PSU instead of one huge PSU are cheaper -> faster ROI. If you can get the 850W at Platinum grade vs the 1600W at Gold grade it's a no-brainer.
For the smaller PSU, they do not have enough PCIE power cable. So check before you order.

Software is fine getting win.10 and will get the mining programs from pools.
Is there anything im missing?
I am new to this and this will be my first rig, Should be picking most of the kit up on Monday.
Beast cards, great for mining
You also don't need that much wattage. Just get two 850W Gold / Platinum PSUs.
I also wouldn't use that mobo. It's bios isn't updated as much and don't expect that much support. It's only 6 PCI-e lanes, and there are tons of other mobos that have 6 PCI-e lanes.
Also you need, CPU, RAM, SSD/HHD and cable risers.
Thank you bro (: i have found this in stock Intel BX80646G1840 - Celeron Dual Core G1840 CPU 1150 54W 2.8GHz 2MB Cache 22nm HD GFX
Is this what i am after? as its not the same as the first Intel listing for G1840.
Just been told my next 4 1080 ti's will be here saturday good times.
Cool, good news on the cards, looks to be the right CPU anyway, here's the Amazon link, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Celeron-G1840-Processor-LGA1150/dp/B00K5OJ0TS/
As long as you pick up a CPU that supports the 1150 socket on that motherboard, another example is the Pentium G3260.
Yeah this 1 is in stock and available sooner https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J2LIE9C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2AEWZ68B7P4J7&psc=1 with the la1150 socket.
When im up and running i was going to stick to nicehash for abit to get everything set up and running do you recommend anything different i heard solos mining but this is harder for rewards?

Intel are suggesting a 1-2 month dispatch delay for the G3900 Any recommendations?
Going for the Mobo: ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 S1150 Intel H81 2x DDR3 Motherboard,
Have heard is a good starting Mobo for mining
Also the SSD i am struggling to find identical model in the UK, is this ok to use?

Yes, I have the 60gb KingDian SSD and it has been fine so far, you can get the 120gb model if you think you'll use the extra space.
G3900 uses the 1151 socket on the mobo, your mobo above uses 1150 so another option for your CPU is the Intel Celeron G1840 Processor if you can find one in stock.
