New mining rig hardware arrived today
The next chapter is about to be written in my journey as a miner where the plan is to build a AMD mining rig and do a build log during the way and also go through in more detail on the parts I picked and the reasoning behind it. I have no idea how many post it will become but i will try to go as much as I can in to details and explaining all the steps. There's still many steps in this project that i haven planned out yet and I just need to tackle issues as they come.
For this post i will just showcase briefly on which parts that arrived today.
- MSI Z270-Z PRO Motherboard
- Intel Pentium LGA1151 i3 G4400 3.3GHZ
- 2 AMD Radeon XFX RX480 4GB

As for the RAM and SSD that was components i have laying around that i deiced to reuse for this project
- G-skillz Ripjaws4 F4-2666C15Q-16GRR

Followed! Curious as to what you are gonna mine and what kind of hash you get with two 480s.
Yeah me too haha, haven't decided yet on what to mine. Any recommendations ?
I have only a single gtx 1060, and mine monero most nights on a low intensity, I'll average around 250kh. Mainly I like to hop around new altcoins, mine as much as I can before the difficulty is too high, and hope I get lucky.
That sounds reasonable and I would probably do the same if I were you :) Any specific altcoin you are aiming for next?
Help, what is the bios configuration to use the 6 GPUs?
