mr teal,
great job on the project.
can someone post a list of the minimum equipment to get this running (excluding the host hashing system).
For example people are saying
thermal pads
vga coolers
case fans or cpu coolers
I just don't want to get this and have 2-3 days of downtime waiting for accessories to arrive. I assume heatsink and fan aren't included and a gpu fan is required.
a write up of compatible coolers etc in one location would be very helpful
thanks
You'll need a mini USB cable, a cooler, and a thermal pad. I'll be putting the Hyper 212 EVO coolers on mine, and I'm selling adapter kits (including the 11W/mK thermal pads) to mount those coolers nicely on these boards and also support them horizontally (such as on a shelf).
You'll also need a power supply that can push ~180W on a 6-pin PCIe connector. Ideally your computer's power supply has a 6+2-pin PCIe plug so you can be sure it's designed for at least 150W.
