Hi, I am setting up a 6 nVidia GTX 1070 FE rig using GIGABYTE H110-D3A motherboard. I am slight unsure on which CPU to use. Is i3/5/6 CPU necessary or a Celeron will do aswell. Also about the RAM, will a 4GB DDR4 do? Thanks
I have an Intel Pentium G4400 CPU and 4GB of RAM will be fine. If you are GPU mining, you don't need a Ryzen level CPU. Just get a decent i5 or similar. The hardware that will be doing all the work is the GPU and the PSU. Don't cheap out on them if you want your equipment to last.
For motherboard, you just need a solid mobo that will support 6 GPUs without throwing up errors after you add the nth one to the board. Also, make sure you get a PSU that can support enough wattage. It is recommended that all of your hardware can be handled by 80% of the PSU's wattage capability to be most efficient.
