Re: [WTB] [Canada] Motherboard, CPU and RAM for an 8 card rig
I have a lot of things you'd might want in my thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118559.msg50080912#msg50080912
I'm not Canadian but I'm just across the border in WA so much closer than most of your moose brothers
. If your machine is just going to be an 8 card miner I can assure you (as I'm sure any experienced miner will verify) that a celeron with 4gb of ram doesn't even get half utilized while mining. The core usage sits around 30% and less than 2gb of ram gets used. In that case I can rebuild the 8 card miner I originally pulled the MSI Z170A Gaming M7 in my thread with a g3930, 4gb of ram (I can always put in 8gb if you'd prefer) and the m.2 -> pci-e adapter. Alternatively, I could sell you 8gb of DDR3 and an i3 (I don't remember which but I know I have an LGA 1150 i3 around here somewhere) leaving you to find an appropriate motherboard (I don't have any LGA 1150 mobos with 8 slots left). Let me know if any of this interests you.
