Hey guys,
I am a newbie with respect to mining. Boris already answered many questions but I do have some more. As I don't want him to waste time on answering my questions, maybe you could help out:
1) Once I put up my mining rig and got everything running, can I just leave it alone and it will keep going? How much maintenance and supervision (updates or whatever) is required? Is it a problem to leave the system alone for a whole day (12-16 hours)?
2) The power required to run the GPUs, does it increase proportionally to the number of GPUs deployed?
3) Can you put that system up in your bedroom? I have an open apartment with one huge single room
4) Any other general recommendations apart from the hardware?
Thx and cheers!
1) If cooling is decent it can/should be run all alone. Set up cgwatcher to handle re-connects or failovers.
2) Yes, lets assume you have a rig with 2 same cards, each 150 Watts consumption. Putting a third same card into it will raise the total rig consumption by 150 Watts
3) With mine (3x280x) it would not work out for me, too loud... although it would be a decent heater at winter time ;-)
4) not really
