Hey again everyone, I'm back again for the third and probably last time before I go out and actually buy the GPU's to set up my rig.
1. How useful is EthOs? Other than convenience are there any other reasons to buy it rather than just using windows?
2. What is the average lifespan of a RX 470 or 480 in a relatively humid country?
3. How important is the efficiency of a power supply. Is having a platinum rated power supply vital or am I ok getting a gold 1000W supply. How much did you guys pay for you power supply?
4. This is a bit of a long one so I'm going to give a bit of a back story first. I have had a desktop for 3 years now. It has an intel I5 4440 and a motherboard with PCIe and USB3. I'm going to be getting a laptop in about a month and what to use some of my desktop parts to build the rig but I don't want to completely tear apart my PC. Can I remove all the cables and all video cards. Leave the motherboard and CPU inside the casing, open up the left side of the casing and have the mining GPU's (which will be attached to a self made open air mining case) connected into the motherboard in the open PC case instead of the motherboard resting on the ground or are there any distinct disadvantages to doing so?
I know this one isn't very well worded so if you need clarification just say so.
I know this ones a bit long so just answer whatever you want. Even an answer to one question is much appreciated
