Why the second one ($299) ? Why not 2 of the $269 card?
Size matters.
I have a few of these boards
https://www.ebay.com/itm/124217882169?and lots of bitmain psus
if I alternate
slot 1 big msi 5600
slot 3 big msi 5600
slot 5 big msi 5600
slot 7 big msi 5600
slot 8 short power color 5600
5 x 40 = 200 mhs no overheating as the last card is short and will allow air to get to the slot 7 msi
this is a 200 mhs unit for about
1300 usd in gpus six months to pay
psu = free I have it.
cpu = free I have it
ram = free I have it
mobo = free I have it
