What's going on, guys? It is Bernardo, and today
we are going to go over some of the items that I am going to
purchase to build a mining computer, I'm super excited. I already got two items in the lab.
The first one that I got was the graphics card and the motherboard, which on the motherboard
I might do like a separate video. Today is all about going over the list of some of the
items that I'm going to pick up, as well as do the unboxing of the graphics card.
This is the one that I received. So let's look at the list now for
the processor. I picked up the AMD Athlon three thousand G three point five gigahertz
dual core processor. The price is amazing. And the reason why I got this processor is
because for mining, you don't really need like a high, intense processor.
Right. Everything is about GPU for the heat sink. I picked up the Cooler Master
master liquid. One price is amazing. You know, RGB is a plus. I love stuff glowing
in the dark for the motherboard, which I already have in the lab.
And hopefully you guys stay tuned. I will do an unboxing on the MSI B450-A Pro MAX motherboard.
The reason why I picked this one up is because it is highly recommended in the
mining world. It just works great, and I can't wait to hook it up for memory.
I just got one stick of 8 gig's again memory. And the processor is not really a huge thing
when you're mining cryptocurrency for the video card. Again, I picked up the XFX
Radeon RX 580 eight gigs of memory.
And the reason why I picked this guy up, because there were two that were really highly
recommend this was one. And then I believe the Nvidia GeForce 1070 was another one
that was really highly recommended. This one, the price was right there.
I was trying to get a build under a thousand dollars. And then last but not least,
the power supply, which I picked up, the evga supernova GA six fifty watts
power supply. The only thing that did not add into this list was a computer case and a hard drive.
And, you know, the Windows operating system, because for the hard drive,
I have a bunch of them in the lab. Spare, right. Got a bunch spare
hard drives laying around. I could just use one for the computer case.
I already have one empty, which is from Cooler Master. I'm going to take advantage and use in
that case. And for the operating system, super easy to get an operating system nowadays. I think
I'm going to use Windows 10 LSTB version because their's less crapware on that operating system.
All right. So let's take a closer look on the video card.
This is the one that I receive. We are going to do an unboxing.
All right, so what comes inside the box, we have one eight-pin power cable.
We have your quick guide as well as your warranty guide. We have a stop important driver information
pamphlet, and we also have a how to achieve overclock on the particular graphics card.
And last but not least, we have the Radeon RX five eighty eight gig graphics card with dual fans.
How awesome is that? All right. So I'm going to mounted on a special bracket that I 3D printed
a couple of nights ago. And we're going to take a closer look on some of the specifications
on the RX 580 graphics card.
All right. So let's go over some of the quick specifications on the XFX Radeon RX 580 graphics
card. Now, this graphics card comes with eight gigs of memory. Core clock speed is around
thirteen, sixty six megahertz and you can actually boost up the clock speed to thirteen eighty six.
It does support AMD CROSSFIRE two, three and four way. The length is actually
two hundred and seventy millimeters. The TDP is one eighty five watts, for ports It comes
with one DVI, one HDMI and three display ports. Now, to keep itself nice and cool.
It comes with two cooling fans, which from my understanding, this is a recommended graphics
card from mining cryptocurrency. And I can't wait to see how it performs when I have the
machine up and running for several days. So I'm super excited to get this guy in the lab
and hopefully guys tune in for the next unboxing, which
would be the motherboard. And once I get the other items in my list, I would do the unboxing
for you guys. And hopefully you guys enjoy and I catch you guys on the next one piece out.
