cpu, memory, motherboard for mining?

[MMGtheSERB]

what's a good memory to buy for mining and I also need a motherboard along with a cpu.

 

with all that being said I do not want a garbage single or dual core or even a obsolete quad core cpu that cant run games. I want to build a mining rig with 5+ gpus but it better be able to run games decently too

 

I need a reliable motherboard that's not just for mining but I want it to be a good quality board overall, it better be able to support 5+ gpus at once tho without any issues at all

 

I'm not a fan of garbage ram either, i want a decent piece of memory

 

For motherboard well since this is a mining build and not a gaming pc build I'd spend up to 300$, I'd spend up to 250 for cpu possibly 300 if it's really good, up to a hundred dollars for ram, and I'm assuming 100gb hdd will do just fine? I got a bunch of high quality 750watt psus already so we got that.

 

This is my first build so any info will be appreciated, I'm not sure of what all I need atm

 

As for fans well I have like 50 aerocool shark fans and they're good, I'm not even kidding I installed a bunch inside my car cuz why not? thankfully we never got in an accident or it wouldn't end well rofl

 

I'm not sure about monitor? I have a bunch of old monitors laying around so i guess that'll work? So yea if I'm missing something let me know?

It might sound good in theory, but people have hard time getting 1 GPU right now... do you already have GPUs?

Dedicated mining hardware exists called ASIC's.

Are you taking noise into account? Electricity cost?

How stable is your internet connection, no internet = no mining reward...

CPU and memory don't matter for shight if you're GPU mining. Motherboard is going to be tricky because there's not anything consumer class that can slot 5 cards.

 

You don't really seem to know what you're doing here, and the startup cost for a setup like you're describing is insane. You'd be in the hole for a quite a while and with the general instability of the cryptocurrency market right now, including big changes coming to Ethereum in December, it's frankly just a dumb idea.

[MMGtheSERB]

I pay .05 for electricity so it's quite good

I have a couple spare gpus and trying to buy more

I do not like noise!

some asus boards have 5 slots but idk if they can support all, 5 at ocne

I think the ethereum change in dec will make it rise even more while we mine something else?

and yea idk wtf I'm doing, I just wanted to get into mining

I'm willing to invest up to 5k atm and hopefully it pays off!

Gaming 7 z370 is a good one?

[MMGtheSERB]

they're like 100$ used but have 5pcie slots and are quite a good board

Well you could look up a mining board, those can fit 6 or 8 GPU not sure about the gaming concept on them tho.  I picked up a Gigabyte GA-H110M-Gaming 3.  Im just going to do the usb pcei riser card  routine like most miners

I'm not getting anything mining related, everything that I get is just an investment for me. 2 years from now mining board could pass away cuz it's ungood quality or it wont have a good resale value

 

as for cpu well I don't want a trash one that takes 18 hours to open windows, I don't mind paying 200$ for1st gen threadripper or even older xeons

 

you want fast ram because if someday you decide to use stuff from your mining build well you can throw it all in the garbage cuz it'll be way too slow. I actually have a gaming pc from 2009 and I use it to this day for certain purposes. All the stuff I get will be used personally by me or I will plan to resell it so i do not want garbage intel cpu from 2005 because that's just sad

 

I spend a lot of time on the internet because that's how I make my money so all the things I get have to be good because I will use them from time to time

 

If I find decently priced rgb memory I'll even put that on my mining build because once that build isn't mining I'll turn it into a workstation/gaming pc; I hate slow cpus and I will never get one

 

Think I might make an old xeon mining build, they're quite nice cpus with motherboards that support 5+gpus and are decently priced.

hey I just bought 5 6600xt's for 425$ each so now I actually do have a decent amount of gpus ahaha
