Posted 31 May 2017 by DVDL Post: Hi, Thanks again. Due to the facts i run serveral project and as far as google gets me right now, most project really want an x16 slot and with your info also I have made my decission now and go with another one; ASRock H110M-DGS R3.0 and a G3900 CPU. This board is cheap and can run the card on full x16 no matter on what project, due to fact i will store the system i go with a 2x config file and let it run. I only now have to choose if i still want a GTX1060 or another card. Some project dont use Nvidia, some not AMD.... but it wont be 2 cards then... it will be to expensive to buy a 40 lane cpu/board.. Brainkillers ;) |

Thanks for all so far. I want to buy this; MSI B150 PC MATE with G4560 CPU and 4G ram... This board got 2x pci-e slot with good price right here. So because both motherboard and cpu can only have 16 lanes i will run down both cards on 8 lanes right? First i will buy 1 GTX1060 3gb, later might add one. I think this setup can give both cards a good go,. If i want to go 1GPU setup i tought of this; ASRock QC5000M with 2GB of ram. This board only uses 15W but can do x4 in the x16 slot. You say Seti got some good development, but how can i check with project really needs all the bandwith? |

Posted 31 May 2017 by DVDL Post: Hi, I am working on a 24/7 Boinc PC. i got a few question here -Do i need a x16 slot when using GPU or are x1/x4 slots with a riser also good (like etherium machines) -If i need a x16 slot, i am planning to buy a 2x16 slot board, does it need a 32pci-e CPU to load it up? can some give me some advise? I really dont know if i can get like a celeron build-on mobo with just a few risers it wont max out the GPU? Extra info; im also using my new system on Einstein at home and Milkyway, no difference here right? |
