Hello guys, I am making this topic because I want to ask for a specific information. Now I am using Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 + FX8350 + 2 x Gigabyte R9-270x 2GB. I am using this system for coins mining and doing cooling products tests and reviews. When the video cards are mining I can't use my system for anything. Unfortunately for smaller coolers I can't use this setup since the processor is too powerful for them. For that reason I am planning to start a second rig. Right now I have ECS A85F2-A GOLDEN and I am thinking to buy an A8-5600k processor. The point is .... If i install my two cards on the ECS A85F2-A GOLDEN motherboard for coins mining can I: 1. Set the 2 x R9-270x for coins mining without Crossfire 2. Use the integrated video in the processor for a daily work such as browsing the web and watching movies. I am not playing games. Best Regards Dobrin
No. Your system will override the GPU in the 5600K and just use the discrete cards for output. You will be in the exact same position as before (except with a slower CPU)
