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.
