i'de like to see if you are able to acomplish this am running with the same situation
Bumping my post, would really love it if someone could give me pointers and see if what I'm doing will be correct, and i won't run into any problems. will buy 5 cards and the motherboard etc first and try.. just before i do wanted to see your guy's opinion!
hi Bitcointalk,
i would love it if someone could help me out, i recently decided to start a mining rig
i was looking to run 5 Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X Rev 2.0 3GB GDDR5 (GV-R928XOC-3GD REV 2.0)
on this motherboard MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Socket 1150 Intel Z87 Chipset
i recently just got 9 x16 pic-e to x1 risers
and i was wondering if that motherboard would be able to handle 5 cards, or even 6. I've seen another video of someone who was running 5 290x's in one gigabyte motherboard.
if i can't do this do you guys have any recommendations on which motherboard i can use to run the 5 280xs?
really going with this because its got some good performance for a really good price, eventually i will want to have 3-4 of these rigs (so 20 cards in total)
Also what operating system should i use, and do i just use a external HD for the operating system?
Thanks a lot if anyone decides to help, ill be here posting!
Oh ya this is for Litecoin mining!
