Hi newbie here

I am wondering what the recommended paging file size should be - min/max. Is it 2x the ram?

Asus prime z270-p
16gb ram corsair cl14
windows 10
1080ti x 8
256gb ssd

Is my 2 x 8gb ram over kill?

Is the ssd sized appropriately? I want to go for stability and performance. I see people using 32gb usb sticks though...


Depends on what you are mining, but worst case is to make the pagefile the same size as the sum of your GPU VRAM; 1080 Ti has 11GB so 88GB.

Windows 10 definitely doesn't need 16GB of DRAM to run well, but having it will help avoid pagefile use on those algos that don't max out VRAM.
