I have bought some items and putting together a mining rig.
Specs to be-
- ASROCK H81 PRO BTC Motherboard LGA1150 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16, 5 x PCIe 2.0 x1 Bitcoin $129
- Intel Core i3 4130 LGA1150 CPU @3.4Ghz 3Mb Cache Haswell(35w power usage) $90 from gumtree.
- various aluminium parts for diy chassis $50
- a few pci-e riser cards on the way from ebay
-already have 2 7970's
I'm getting roughly 1470kh/s mining doge coins.
I'm using 820w at the wall with my old and faithful i7 950 1366.
I hope this new mobo and cpu i will drop power usage at-least 50-100w
the real reason i have posted this is because i have not heard anything about this motherboard except 2 or 3 people who have voted up or 5/5 stars. anybody have experience with this mobo?
i will add images soon enough.
