Re: Proposed Mother of All Builds (MOAB)

It would depend on the intended use of the system. The system would make a great BTC miner and in that case, with 2 cards, you will see some very inflated numbers (sustained). Running hashes with this card will yield numbers very similar to those found while running furmark.

3DMark isn't the right bench to use if you want to find what the card is capable of drawing.

Which he openly said in this thread he is not doing. Even if he was, as others have stated, he is not close to the amperage rating on the 12v rail. That PSU is fine for that system for years to come (unless full custom WC is added, which has already been discussed)

I don't even know how bitcoin mining works. You should do a PSA/how-to-get-started in this forum.

All I know is it uses lots of CPU and GPU power to make hashes.

And it seems the value of a BTC has gone way up due to how more power its taking to get new hashes.

Security NOW breifly talked about it as it seems the DB that used to be the goto one for mining was updated and somehow broke mining.
