I'm new to this kind of stuff so I was just wondering how to set up one. I just need the basics and the biggest possible set up for the most power. Thanks

I personally do a 7x7x5 reactor with resonant ender on the sides and diamond blocks or cryotheum between the rods, which are in a x formation, except no rods in the corners. Produces 20 thousand RF/t by itself, depending on your config setting. However, I strongly suggest experimenting in a test world as you could figure out a better design. Also, use turbines from Big Reactors, as each turbine can produce 50% more power then the reactor can itself, and a well designed reactor can sustain multiple turbines.

start out with a reactor that's not really fuel efficient, so you can get as much cyanite as possible to create turbines, which will really produce alot of RF

You don't wan't to make the biggest possible set up. That would just be stupid tbh as you will not need that much power. It can produce insane amounts of power, specially if using turbines.

Made a little guide thingy about passive cooled reactors here:

That should teach you the basics of the mechanics and get you started on building designing setups your self. But bear in mind that when you start on turbines a single 7x7x7 reactor can produce something like 600,000 RF/t. So don't just go overboard and build stupidly large reactors, you wont need to.
