Re: Any FREE linux distro for setting up small rig 4cards?
You can use Ubuntu as it works well for what you are trying to do.It is not mining specific but it can easily be made to mine like I am doing at home with my 2 x GTX 1050 ti,and for the card that runs at 82 degree Celsius it is a small fan factor which is running inside my Z workstation that is why it stays 82 degree all the time.
You just download the specific miner,in my case is T-rex because I am using Nvidia cards only at my home workstation.You edit the script files with your wallet and then run them with the command below for example to mine ETC:
./ETC-2miners.sh
The latest version of Ubuntu automatically detect your cards most of the time so I think you should have no problems with it.
82°C isn't safe to say the truth, work on the thermal paste and thermal pad atleast to run the cards at lower temp, or run on hiveOS and downclock to use low power which will reduce the GPU temp effectivelyYou just download the specific miner,in my case is T-rex because I am using Nvidia cards only at my home workstation.You edit the script files with your wallet and then run them with the command below for example to mine ETC:
