Hey friends,
thanks to you guys, we got four 1070 gtx cards (Founders edition), there was a good sale and we took advantage of it, thanks to the unanimous opinion here.
Our problem is now, we need the rest of the hardware and i have no idea what is a "must", we want a machine that can run the 4 cards on 100% and even have the ability to expand it with 1-2 more cards in the next few months.
These are our questions (Should i open a new thread for this?)
Cooling - shouldn't be much of an issue since this will sit in a cooled server room, correct?
CPU - I head that if i want to run 4xGPU's(or more) the CPU has some requirments, can someone elaborate?
MOBO - i know nothing about PCIx and such, do i need a mobo with 8 PCIx16? is there even such a thing? and are there "special" mobos that allow some space between the cards?
PSU - do i simply go for recommended and multiply by 4? what do people usually take as a PSU for 4-6 cards? (1070s)
case - i assume we should just get a full tower to make sure there is space between the cards?
HDD - im pretty sure there is no need for an SSD, right? if i have tons of dictionaries(which i do) the SSD's will be too small, will that effect performance? and if i have a small SSD 'c' drive, that has the Hashcat folder, will it make it run faster?
Any other hardware related things i should know?
P.S
i failed to check the FAQ, so ill do that now. if some of these questions have answers there please ignore them, ill see it there. sorry!
