RE: "I'm a BOINCer, not a Miner" How I Built Two GridCoin/BOINC Powerhouses
Let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to share a parts list with you.
I can't recommend the Ryzen 1800x enough. The budget-conscious would choose the R7 1700 because it's a fair bit cheaper and you can overclock it to similar levels. The reason I stuck with the 1800x was because I wanted to be sure I could hit at least 3.9-4.0ghz stable for BOINCing. You can get there with the 1700, too, but since it has a lower base clock you might get unlucky and only be able to overclock it to 3.7 or so. Not a big deal.
Sounds good. Thank-you; I've hit follow and put your name down to come back to when I reach payday. I've actually decided that I'm going to try and use Steemit to fund my Gridcoin obsession.
