Any ideas where I can buy a full setup in Cpt with 2 x 1070s? I would prefer an i3 over a Celeron.

I would suggest grabbing cards from wootware so long, before it runs out.

Then can also assist building an I3 pc for you.

I use the R150 ones. The more exspensive ones has leds built in to tell you that it is working or not . The new biostar tb250 bios has this built in, the post screen it tell you which pcie slot is working and not working.

So this would work then: Riser

What size psu would be needed for a 2x 1070 PC? 500w? 700w?

Yep will work 100%.

600watt gold from a decent brand like evga or corsair.

Perfect.

So far this is what I have:

GPU: 6x EVGA 1060

Mobo: Can't find

CPU: G4400 (still deciding if I should save R200 and go for celeron)

Ram: Corsair

PSU: EVGA Supernova

SSD: WD Green

Risers: Risers

Total: R29,881 - still missing mobo and frame tho.

Is there anything else I am missing or something you would change?

edit: Risers from Wootware aren't in stock so will get these - Risers

Save few bucks and get this model, more pcie connectors. I mainly use these for rigs.

Otherwise everything looks good.

Leetpro sells cheap frames, just shipping takes time as he stays on a farm in middle of nowhere.

Ok will swap out PSU.

Yeah I saw leetpro but I need the items as soon as possible as I leave for UK 24th and want the machine up and running by then already.

So I’m good on the hardware to place the order? Nothing else you will change.

Just need to source a mobo and everything will be sorted then.

Yep looks 100%!

There is few guys on gumtree selling frames, that they make. Normally goes for around 1k.

Perfect will place the order so long then.

Just now to try find a mobo - they seeming as hard to find as 580's!

Will have a look on Gumtree but for that price, I may as well buy one of these: Frame - with that if I ever add more cards, I can just buy the add-on.

 

[Alwyn Swart]

Out of curiosity, what are you planning to mine weelzSA?

So it seems NH is working on a Linux mining app.

Indeed I love this frame, no cables ties needed!

Everything screws in, nothing is hanging loose.

Is there a big issue going with AMD instead on Intel? Leetpro has stock of mobo for AMD. Struggling to find any Intel boards.

Nope they fine, cpu's just slight more expensive I think.

Ok great. So will order AMD then from leetpro - he seems to have stock of cpu and mobo.

Those 1060’s are sold out now tho

I did find others that are slightly more expensive tho so gonna order it now.

 

[weelzSA]

So everything has now been ordered! Now the wait for the items to arrive

Total worked out to R35,500 for everything which is not too bad.

edit: Original GPU was Out of Stock when I checked out so went for this one instead - EVGA 1060 SC

Great. Glad you got sorted. Thx for all the links

What you going to mine?

Sounds good, happy mining.

Remember to install windows with just 1 gpu installed!

Bios settings has be changed for mining:
Mining mode to enabled
Pcie lanes set to gen1.

Care to elaborate a bit?
With Algo switching or just direct mining?
