Well gentleman depending on her budget it might be a build with 6x 980's What fun would that be to build :-) Even a 6x 960 build would be awesome. I appreciate the feedback and once I do get the build going I'll report back the wattage draw per card and the wattage overall.
If this turns into an all out build I'm thinking I'll add a nice CPU to the system so it can run as well. I'll be using a LGA 1150 supported motherboard. Any suggestions on the CPU would be great (the more cores the better here kinda thinking). I'm guessing I can run 50 -75% of the CPU cores and leave a little room on the CPU for other functions.
In the past I've messed around with this but only have a cheap Celeron running. A 2 core CPU with 4 threads (I think if my memory serves me right) I had one core and two threads running and had no issues. I guess investing in a decent CPU cooler is wise here too. (I'm thinking a pre-fab liquid loop with radiator)
All input appreciated on this. I'm happy a female is seeing the value in Monero. Was excited she called me yesterday all up on Monero from reading. (I've sent her tons of links).
JEEE SUS. 6 X 980 = thats almost $3k in cards alone.
I'm curious - how'd you convince her to buy a rig as opposed to just buy coin? $3k worth of coin is not a bad amount to hodl, and assuming that thing kicks out arund 6 kh/s, that'll only be 7.31 xmr per day. Which is 410 days ROI for just cards alone, not including electricity.
And I'm all for increased hashrate, so just curious.
and you're totally gonna kill my share of the monerohash.com payout
unless you're pointing to your private pool you were planning on making. (and good on yah! more nodes!)
good question. I mining with this script and i have a windows wallet. this here:
