Litecoin Mining Rig

litecoinSo I recently built a Litecoin miner. If you haven’t heard of Litecoin, it is basically a new cryptocurrency that branched off of Bitcoin. This rig is based off of the standard 4x Sapphire Radeon 7950 setup. Each card is pulling 600 khash/s, totalling about 2.4 mhash/s altogether.  I’m using two PCIe x1 to PCIe x16 adapters and two powered PCI-e x16 adapters. The open air case was built from aluminum angles. The machine runs Xubuntu Linux and pulls about 1200 watts consistently.

The config file for cgminer:
