Hi all, Am I correct in thinking that the CX650f won't have sufficient power to run three RX580's for mining 24/7? Found somewhere that each RX580 at stock 24/7 100% load draws approx 136w. By that the three cards would pull 408w. I will have three 120mm fans and two 90mm fans plus an SSD...

Ah ok fair enough, might give that a go, expect an update over the next few days

All stock, messing with clocks and volts scares me last time I did thay was on an Intel Q6600!! I dont know enough about it in all honesty and wouldn't even know where to start. Downloaded MSI afterburner and created fan profile to bump up fan speed and keep temp down but it doesn't have a...

GPU was bought solely for mining, ROI on the cost I paid for it is roughly 6-7 months, provided BTC doesn't do what it sometimes does well and crash Not sure actually if I have the space for different fans but I will for sure have a look and see! I've been reading that the heatsink on the MSI...

Hi and thanks for the reply. Have seen the Accelero 3 is compatible but finding one in stock and that isn't over priced is a bit of a mission. Was hoping that someone here may have had similar issues and created a rather clever DIY solution :D The search continues!

Greetings all, Just picked up an MSI RX 580 Armor (8gb). When i run mining software on it, the temps shoot up to 70ish, when left running for maybe 5-10 mins, temps hit a max of 83c. Card was second hand. Have already removed fans/heatsink etc and given it a thorough clean, new pads, new...

So, it turns out that someone who has never used Rufus, should really do a little research on it before trying to use it..... What i had done is create a bootable USB through Rufus, without any form of OS on it at all, just literally a blank drive formatted to be bootable :D Sorted the boot...

Thanks both, i wasn't sure if the Kali Linux OS the previous owner had installed would do something to RAM for example and/or somehow store settings which could have caused the issue. Used the USB to boot and install W10 to my laptop the other week but for sanity sake i've just remade it on MCT...

Have tried going via F12, produces same result. The SSD was used as a temp drive for Chia plotting and still has really good health according to Crystal disk, will format and see if that helps me out. Thanks for the input!

Morning all!! Have managed to pick up a second hand rig for a decent price and plan to use it for mining. I'm reasonably familiar with building, stripping and rebuilding PC's, however this time round i've come across something i've never seen before. I have a bootable W10 USB. PC has a...

Because i'm lazy if im honest!! my 290 has a custom backplate on which means getting to the clip on the PCI-e port is really difficult and usually means i need to take the mobo out. The 290 i have is the OC version so its fairly powerful already, but just wanted to check here where the...

Evening all, Just dropping in to get some advice... Currently i have an R9 290 Tri-x from Sapphire However, i've been given a GTX780 Matrix Poseidon to test. Question - should I change from the 290 to the 780?

Thats all down to a matter of opinion. I managed to do all my cables, and only bought the braid, heatshrink and connecters. I used stuff already at home - lighter, heat gun, pliers, staples, sewing needle etc.

You can quite easily buy a length of the correct diameter cable, the male & female connectors and your braid of choice. Custom length :)

after the heartbreak of knowing i can't buy a windowed side panel, i'm changing case. Leaving the cosmos 2 behind and moving to the Corsair carbide 540 air :)

seems like the only place online that i can find is the international one :( bummer

no, looks like a dead site :(

Measure each cable, combine the length then add about 20% extra on top. The thing with Paracord is that you need to fit a length that is longer than your cable by about 5-10ml, that way when it bends it wont pull out of the sheath.

lol after all the searching - i've only upgraded my rodent to a mamba chroma. GPU fell through as the images looked well dodgy :(

Checked their website and dropped them a PM so i'll very shortly find out :D
