Hey guys,
Just ordered 6 of these: SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 390X
Also ordered the rest of the requirements for the computer and a frame, along with 2 1000W EVGA PSU and the Add2PSU adapter to connect them both to the same computer.
All of the parts come in on Friday and I want to set it up as quickly and easily as possible. I can do the hardware part, but I'm honestly not sure which OS to use, was thinking about ethOS but then saw that people don't like it and on their site it says they don't support 2 PSU, so that's not an option. I'm not sure if it's better to use Ubuntu or Windows, or which version of either.
Also, depending on which one I choose, what would be the best mining software to use, and with what settings? The rig will be running basically 24/7 and will only be used for mining. Also, what are the best AMD drivers to use for mining? I've heard 15.12 drivers are good but have also heard that just the latest are fine. Want to know for sure to maximize performance.
Also, if Ubuntu is the OS of choice, how would I go about overclocking the cards and getting the best performance out of them.
Thank you in advance, and I will post pictures of the build in progress and the build completed with the hash rate of it once I have it running, and trust me I will be building it as soon as it comes in.
Also if anyone is interested the price of the whole rig and everything needed (Other than OS which I can get for free) was $3150.
Thank you for the help![:)]( ":)")
