      Hi guys! I have been lurking and mining a little for ages (well maybe a month or 2) now but hoping to expand soon so I’m sure I will have a few silly questions along the way.
      I never know what to say in these type of posts! Lets see how many graphics cards I can fry!! woo :)

            Yea i saw a few posts about the boards frying, I’m only running the little baby 5870’s so I’m hoping not too much power will be drawn!

              5870 should not be a problem with four of them on one board, but if you thinking about clocking them DO consider active extenders!=P
              And 5 cards, hell no! ;D

                4 is the plan :) I just need to purchase a decent PSU and build some kind of stand/case and get everything going, Is the seasonic 1250 overkill for my rig?

                  Seasonic 1250 is in my opinion a really good investment. PLENTY of overhead and a nice thing to repurpose later.

                  the 5870 use around 200w each (during mining load) so around 1000w including system.

                    Seasonic x1250 is NEVER overkill if your running 4 cards.

                    Note that the XFX 1250w Black is also the same PSU. Don’t tell everyone though! ;)
