Yeah I have  really good boards for the gear threadripper 1920x on a taichi x399

with 32gb ram.

pretty much exactly what you should should use with the 2card nest

yup that will be a beast with acorns and top tier gpus. seen some other folks listing treadripper builds for acorns here and there. mighty pricey vs what miners typically build (cheap with very limited other uses) but threadripper/x399 builds (and their intel high end desktop counterparts) are very future proof, and useful way beyond mining if/when the time comes.


I can´t find the download link.
And where are the open API doc and specifications ?

I still didn't get an answer after months !

official miner is still not out.

there is an unofficial alpha standalone miner for 215+ only [EDIT all acorns now] here, useful for testing basic setups:

youll need the acorn drivers, cant find the link atm, will post if i can find them, but they are pinned on the fpga discord i believe.

EDIT: windows acorn driver
