Hello everyone, So i am new to mining i'll start of with that.. I just purchased 2 cubes and need some help to set them up. Am used to just plug n play with usb since i had BFL products and never required doing extra work. I know i need a power supply thats strong enough to support both cubes on HIGH clock mode. Any recommendations? also i have a raspberri pi i would use before can i still put this to use in any way with my new cubes?
U can run 2 cubes on a Corsair TX850 PSU. Raspberry Pi works well. I use Minepeon. Just use the --http-port option in bfgminer and point your Cubes to the IP address/port # for the Pi. Should be a piece of cake.
Would the corsair TX850 PSU support both cubes on the HIGH clock setting?
If i can use the Raspberry Pi (already running Minepeon) do i connect both miners via usb or through the Ethernet port on the Pi. I currently have the Pi configured to run wirelessly off my wifi connection.
Yes, That's what I'm currently running. The TX850 runs them both in oc'd just fine. You will connect the cubes to your network and point them to the pi's address. Literally a set it and forget it with the pi. I've only used 2 this way, but hopefully by the end of next week will have 10 running and pointing to the pi. The biggest problem I foresee is the 20A circuit in the house/building here in USA. Luckily each outlet in the server room is on a different circuit.
