I have a 2nd fpu build on order.
Topic: Will this LTC build work? (Read 738 times)
Mine hashs at 62.4kh\s for ltc. It hashs 135mh\s for btc. It seems that it uses system memory...I think if I added 4 more gigs of ram it would double that speed. I will have more ram to try this out in a couple days.

Since your going with the AMD fpu already...you might think about upgrading to the a10-5800k. For about 50 bucks more you can get that and have it hashing at 7760 speeds. Also I have had real good luck with the biostar x85 board. Check out the differences between the gigabyte and biostar PCIe layout. Gigabyte makes good products...but.
I have never had good luck overclocking with them. Rock solid stock but any tweaking seems to go south in a hurry with that brand. YMMV. gl

how fast does 7760 hashes at? Or specifically, in 5800k, how fast can it hash? I have never had good luck overclocking with them. Rock solid stock but any tweaking seems to go south in a hurry with that brand. YMMV. gl

each card takes up ~500mbs of ram so its better to have more rather than less....although 4gb should probably be fine
Things look good, cept you might want to throw an extra $30 and get a 8GB kit of RAM, esp if you're going to be LTC mining.
Everyone I have checked with and all my readings have said that 2 gigs of RAM is plenty... with 4 gigs am I not already having plenty of RAM in my system?
It looks good to me. Especially the crate 
My rig is similar:
PSU Corsair HX1050
Mobo Asrock Extreme 6
CPU Celeron G530
GPU 3x Gigabytes WF3 7950
RAM 8G kit Kingston blue

Good luck!

I was looking at that optimizing guide the other day and plan to do it as soon as I have a little time.
I will check out those parts on your setup... Thanks for the reply!
Voltage locked or not, he can still get 680kh/s per card with it. I don't think you can go any further with any other voltage unlocked card except if you put a lot of effort in cooling the card.
Couple comments:
1. Ditch the OCZ PSU and get the XFX 1050w for $160. The XFX is a rebadged Seasonic.
2. The Gigabyte 7950 is now voltage locked. Look for cards that are not voltage locked.

I am parting out a LTC rig for a friend and I would like to get some community feedback on this setup:
My Questions:
1. Will the CPU/Mobo/etc be compatible (I think so, but would like someone(s) to double check my work)
2. Will the 1000W PSU I picked out power the Mobo and 3x7950's?
PSU: (To Run Mobo and 2 or 3 7950's)
