My dorm battlestation

in #mining7 years ago

Over the holidays, I decided it was time to upgrade my PC. In my first build, I had an i5-3570k with a GTX 660i, so playing Battlefield 1 on High settings wasn't possible. I had also gotten into cryptocurrency and started mining. Well the GTX 660i definitely wasn't a top tier card last year, nor the year before. This time, I went all out and got 16gb of DDR4 RAM, a GTX 1070 FTW, an i5-6600k, along with one SSD and a WD Blue 1TB drive. The reason why I didn't get a 1080 is because of their GDDR5X memory not working well with mining software. I'm sure it's not as bad now, but a few months ago, getting a 1080 wouldn't have been a good investment. Thanks to the two developers working on XMR STAK GPU, my 1070 FTW now gets about 620 h/s and the CPU gets around 120 h/s. 0130171104.jpg 0130171104b.jpg0130171106.jpg0130171106a.jpg0130171106b.jpg0130171104a.jpg

The case is the Corsair Air 540. I had originally gotten the Air 240 but the GPU was 9mm too long. Feel free to share your battlestations below!

That is a beautiful case :).

Thanks! I liked the 240 much better because it was smaller and hid the hard drives easier, but I've gotten used to the 540. It's not a bad case.
