@ fullzero  

here is a really detailed build of the nvoc0017  with 2 nvidia 1070's on a

GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3 LGA1151 Intel Z270 2-Way Crossfire ATX DDR4 Motherboard.

to all this is a solid board  really good

I tested stable up to 5 amd rx 480's  on win 10 and smos
I tested stable up to 4 1080 ti's on win 10 and win 7  tested up to 3 on nvoc

I am sure it will do 5  on all of the above well maybe not win 7.  I just did not test that high on all os's

Can I ask: why do you go for the higher end CPU?

I've been running 2 eth rigs on Asrock H81 Pro BTC boards for over a year, mostly using Ethos (which is an AMD linux mining distro). I recently started to convert to Nvidia so I'm using the same setup but one of them now using nvOC and 2 1070s + 3 1060s. I always used the cheapest low end pentium (I forget exactly which - 2 cores 3.3GHz) and it was always fine. Seems fine in nvOC so far too. Unless you want to run that XMR CPU miner I guess.

I went a step lower than Pentium on my 2 rigs and bought $50 G3930 Celeron processors since I am only GPU mining.  They run nvOC quite stably (I just returned from a 5 day vacation and both of my rigs that were running v0016 stayed up the entire time I was gone).  Granted, I am not using Teamviewer like some folks here.  That will consume more system resources.  I can do everything I need with SSH and the screen command if I'm at home.  I did leave one of my windows workstations online while I was gone so I could teamviewer into that and from there SSH into my rigs if necessary, but luckily I had no need to.
