#PC build for only run Salad

As I said in #1149805806368333895, I would recommend against doing this. I think you should get yourself a good main PC and run Salad on it when you're not gaming or otherwise intensively using it.

I'm just going to be blunt - You're thinking about this wrong, and need to rethink this.
The 4090 isn't "exclusively for 4k" - You can use it perfectly fine with a 1080p display. If you still don't want to believe that, according to your logic, a 7900XTX would also be overkill for 1080p.

Some quick points:

  • SLI is dead. Don't bother running multiple GPUs in one PC.
  • HDDs are dead. Don't bother wasting multiple collective days of your time for things to load.
  • LGA 1151v2 is dead. That platform was released 5 years ago and is far beyond being EOL now.
  • If you're restrained for physical space, just get one PC.

Again, SLI is dead. No modern games actually build out support for it anymore, and Nvidia has actually stopped including the SLI interface with all their GPUs now, since the 40 series released.

Ok, maybe a single Vega 64

#

It's not a smart idea to buy one - let alone, multiple PCs solely for Salad. With how wildly variable the earnings can be, all of your hardware could very quickly and suddenly be earning nothing.

#

The Vega 64 is frrom 2017. 💀

Why do mining PCs exist?

shrewd marsh
#

They existed back when mining was actually profitable

WHY DO THEY EXIST?#

#

Salad is profitable

#

Bruh, I just want to sponsor this software 😭

shrewd marsh
#

For some people, yeah - mainly those with high-end GPUs running container workloads, or those with bandwidth sharing, with not-insane electricity prices

And stop the GPU shortage

#

I will make for only kill got and get profits

#

Not for only the profits

..?

#

There's nothing that one person can do to stop a worldwide shortage of components..

#

I still want to get money from salad

#

@shrewd marsh does HDD raid help a little bit on speeds?

shrewd marsh
#

You really like thinking of the weirdest solutions to things..

wet raft
#

Like I have 4 1tb HDD, run them on raid 0, each HDD is 200mbps, so the speed will be 800mbps

But plese still support me
