I want to build a GPU-based system to mine ETH. I'd like to start with 6 GPU and upgrade to 12 GPU later on. Here is the setup that I put that together until now.
- Motherboard: BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO (supports 12 GPU)
- GPU: 6x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070
- Celeron G3900 2C @ 2,8 Ghz
- Corsair AX1500i 1500 Watts (it's 80 Plus Titanium therefore 90%+ efficiency)
- Random RAM and SSD (as far as I know it's not important)
- Riser cables. I don't really know what model I should buy but I'll figure it out
- Open case with 6x Artic F12 PWM intake and 6x outtacke
The idea is that when I'll double the number of GPU from 6 to 12 I'll buy an additional Corsair AX1500i 1500 Watts and 12x Artic F12 PWD.
Is this a good mining rig? What parts would you change and why? I'm open to suggestions of course.
Thank you.
