Hi folks, like a few people I guess, I have some old BTC mining kit around which I'd like to repurpose to a dedicated cracking rig - personal use/research/CTF work etc.
I have:
I understand the GPU is a little elderly but should be OK for occasional use as above. I think I will need LTS version of linux rather than the latest version?
Any tips/tricks/ideas to make this as effective as possible? I'll be running this in a cool workshop and the open case/non permanent use should be OK for heat I think?
Cheers all
