Let's jump right into it! You need this if you have VU9P/VU13P
FPGA boards:
- Motherboard. We recommend the 6x PCIe Biostar TB250-BTC, but any motherboard will work fine.
- PSU. All are fine, but best to estimate 350W per FPGA. (Not Include fans, etc).
- RAM. A classic 4GB DDR4 should be enough.
- CPU. Each core can only support 2-3 FPGA boards. We recommend dual-core for 5-6 FPGAs & quad-core for 8+.
Now the fun stuff!

If you have F1/F1+
Blackminer board, you need this:
- Ethernet cable. To connect the Blackminer board to the internet.
- Power Supply. Recommendation: 700W PSU for F1. 1200W PSU for F1+.
That's all. Really.
