[SOLVED] ASUS AU31-L mining

yura.o.e.a · Dec 11, 2018

I found this old cheap board on ebay, and i wanna know if i could put 3 amd gpus into it and use it as a beginners mining rig. It comes with amd Athlon, but i cant find a cpu fan or determine exact ram since theres a lack of information online. https://www.ebay.com/p/ASUS-Au31-l-Motherboard-W-AMD-Athlon-512mb-RAM/1034082643?iid=264061093232&chn=ps this is the board

I think it's socket A, pretty outdated (2006).

Probably better off getting something like this then using PCI risers from each PCI slot to connect each GPU.

thats a good price and everything but im doing this just to have a super old pc thats still productive, matter a fact im researching this one right now https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gateway-2000-4000585-ATX-Motherboard-Intel-Pentium-III-450-MHz-CPU-1-ISA-Slot/181851130290?hash=item2a572c09b2:g:iVIAAOSwd0BV4kY7:sc:USPSPriority!11214!US!-1 i suppose anything with a pci slot should technically be able to mine. This one has an interesting socket aswell lol
