Build advice
#3
Thanks undeath- that’s really helpful. I had used a custom PC build site for this and the Hashcat FAQ mentioned GPUs can overheat using hashcat but presumably from your response, it is completely unnessecary for my purposes.

I have updated build below with changes in bold italics. Are there any other GPUs you would recommend at a lower cost without losing too much performance?
