I am so glad I found this thread. Considering doing this to power an RX470 in a optiplex 7020 or 9020 SFF. Thanks for documenting everything, awesome work. I don't really care too much about the power brick turning on and off with the machine, as it will be on most of the time, is there any...

i spent a total of 864$ over the course of a few months, plus using a PSU and 280x I already had, and now I have something like 340 ethereum worth over 4000$. I wish i had setup 10 machines, but I definitely wouldn't start now. The heat here in Texas this summer was a bit much to deal with and...

deal is dead now, but is the only difference between this chip and the 6100 just a mere 100mhz? seems like quite the premium to pay

the 8gig part doesnt matter much for mining, but you'll be set for games with massive textures! good luck. I personally use claymore's miner in dual mining mode ethereum+sia coin, on miningpoolhub.com

holee crap that is some price gouging. At that price, you could get a 7 PCI-E slot Skylake mobo.

I use the asrock H97 anniversary. It is the updated version of the h81 Pro BTC. I paid 50$ new for it from newegg back in march or so. Also, keep in mind that ethereum mining could end at any time, but is more likely to happen in the first or 2nd quarter of next year. With free electricity...

this is a crazy good deal! \ edit: i didnt even realize how old this post was. Crazy they still have all of the different "sizes" in stock after all this time.

the reference 290x are loud as hell. Everything else is pretty quiet. but yes, its loud and hot and power hungry. Luckily power is cheap here in TX and mining will be over soon after winter. I'm ready to get rid of it!

we shall see. A counterpoint to that is the bitcoin halving actually increased the price, and mining for most normal users has been long unprofitable.

if you read on the ethereum forums, a member got his gtx 1070s up to 39-40mh/s rx480s when modded can get 30mh/s with 150w draw at the wall, i believe

anyone worried about the looming PoS? once ethereum mining is done, all other profitable coins should (arguable) be mined into unprofitable territory soon thereafter. I'm weary of adding more cards at this point, but I do have 4 more PCI-E slots available :D

will be interesting once the aftermarket cards start hitting the market

lots of miners on the various coin forums are pretty upset about this. However, in the grand scheme of things, the RX 480 hashes very well for its power draw.

More ram! I haven't had pagefile enabled since like 2007, it just slows things down. I could see that some old programs might require it. Heck most linux OSes still prefer to have a swap/page partition even though it isnt essential
