Hi Folks,

i'm still a newbie in mining and i read a lot in this forum. First of all thanks a lot for such an amount of knowledge that can be consumed here.
I already have a 100 Th/s contract on mining BTC at genesis mining but now i want to do it on my own.
The RX 480's seem be one of the best GPU's but it also seems to be out of stock all over the world - especially in germany there is no chance to get one.
So i decided to buy 12 MSI RX 580 8GB Armor OC to built 2 Rigs for ETH-mining and Dual mining.

I'm very excited to enter into a new era of this business.

My setup will be (parts are ordered and will arrive in about 2-3 weeks)

12x Radeon RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC
2x ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0
2x Intel Celeron G1840 2,8 GHz (Haswell) Sockel 1150
12x YIKESHU PCIe PCI-E 16x 8x 4x 1x Powered Riser Adapter Card w/ 60cm USB 3.0 Extension (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B072BJ3GCG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
2x PSU Corsair AX1200 i Platinum
2x Corsair Vengeance LP Series Black DDR3-1600, 4GB
2x Patriot Spark 2,5 Zoll SSD, SATA 6G - 128 GB
2x Desktop Power Switch https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00LVREYWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks to this forum I think i'm prepared very well to get the cards modded to enter into a hashrate of about 29 or 30 mH/s. Thanx to Cryptoyeti http://cryptoyeti.com/msi-rx580-armor-8g-review-and-bios-mod-guide/ for his brief explanation getting 30+ mH/s out of his cards.

But there is one question left concerning the PSU. Does anybody have the Corsair AX1200i Platinum and are there enough cables included to connect all components?

Thanks for your comments.

Happy mining, Bodyworks
