Is this rig good for Litecoin/Dogecoin mining ?

Go to solution Solved by RankUpGamers,

your going to need more then a single core for mining 

Leave, or do some research, Most miners use the 415, because all it needs to do is send and receive work.

 

Run LTCRabbit from a small USB Flash Drive, and remotely connect. 

 

Overall looks good, but check in the manual for that motherboard that all PCIE slots can be populated, and it doesn't turn  some off!

And get the cheapest 4gb set of ram! at most with LTC rabbit, it will use 2.5 Gbbb. 

 

Happy mining

I'm a newb to mining but I have experience building gaming rigs. So I'm thinking about building a mining rig to earn money to cover its costs and the maybe earn some profit. In terms of electricity, I couldn't care less. Where I live, electricity is second-to-none.

No he isn't, the rig is obviously intended for GPU mining since CPU mining is pointless anyway.

Thanks for the replies, but the thing is: Will it be worth it ? or will it not bring enough revenue for its costs ?
