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
A "legit" mining rig would not need an i3/i5/i7 processor. A celeron would do but since it has the same power consumption as the pentium, people usually go for a pentium g4400/g4560. This is so that you can still use the PC as an office computer incase mining goes south.
With regards to RAM, 4GB will be enough to run multiple instances of different miners. Anything beyond 4GB is unnecessary.
