Hi all
Some opinions please. I currently have 2 Sapphire Dual-X R9 280x cards that I right now arranging to be send back to Amazon due to failing cards on 2 of the original 3 I bought, so I'm now going to be needing some new cards. I've been mining Execoin for weeks, months even now cos I like the idea and the Devs seem to be involved etc.
Suggestions on good mining cards... especially for cards that don't have failing cooling fans in less than 6 months use. I think I'm only getting 2 this time as trying to put 3 in a HAF-XB case meant they ran at 70+ and an 80+ temp. I guess I'm looking at 280x cards maybe 290x depending on monies, I still haven't paid for my rig since prices crashed with the bitcoin price fall in recent month so I'm not over joyed with the prospect of paying out a lot more
Thoughts?
Send them back to Amazon for a refund... That will significantly help your ROI prospects. Or if you must mine go with one of the Nvidia 750Ti cards, much lower power consumption than the AMD cards, so you'll have less problems with cooling. You need more of them though.
