Hi! Welcome to the community 😊
It is very nice to see new member and miner join the Burst movement!
Thank you, it is a pleasure to meet you!
@mr.x Good luck with ur rig m8. Sounds great, im gonna invest on my first 8TB as soon as I get my payment, for now im playing around with my almost 1TB drive xD. I am thinking to have 12 x 8 TB drives year by now If i do it right.
Thank you friend! Good luck to you as well!
Sounds like we are doing the same thing here, building as the coins are mined.
I had a big smile when I had some ETH sell for 20.00 a coin the other day, but then notice the SATA chip on that MoBo I was going to use was getting hot. So I reseated all the heat sinks and got it to cool down a bit, but for some reason that MoBo doesn't want to boot with 6 TB (two x 3 TB) of hdd installed?
I took some money from the ETH and bought this,

That mobo has two sata controllers, one that transfers at 6gb, and a second controller transfers at 3gb.
I'm hoping 3gb transfer rate is good enough, so I can just split the 12 TB on that miner and maybe get decent scan times?.
And for a CPU I ordered a G3258 Haswell (unlocked) and memory: 2x8gb ddr3 240 pin.
Purchased a couple HD 7970's from ebay to go with the HD7990 from craigslist, to mine some ZEC and prospect some new coins.
In the meanwhile, I had a new RX480 make a snap sound, and a spark, its dead...
Still under warrantee, so I get to find out how good Sapphire support is now.
Have a great day guys!
