LOL! Don't forget to show-off your mining rigs then!

I like the way you make fun of me

Actually I do want to see them if you really do it!!

Same here knoxx29 im setting up my first dedicated miner ,not got a proper psu or its gpus yet but i have got an r9 390 and base 750 watt ocz psu to set it up so its ready.
Already got a sabertooth and fx8350(another one) ready to go and the scabbiest case I've seen in a while ,some cig stainidge as i got given it i cant complain.

Thats nuts to me. I have thought about expanding, but don't have a location. Maybe one day lol.



470/570 gets the same 22mh/s while consuming more power. I'm at 3.60+ a card for the 1060 3gb

Hmmm, so electricity wise the 1060 wins out. So, ETH and Zcash is best with Nvidia cards correct?

Both are better with AMD cards. AMD uses more electricity, but makes up for it in hashing power. The 580s are supposed to be v. good.

Well I can't get any AMD cards at the moment without the inflated price. So, going to nab 1060s instead until I can get my hands on some AMD cards.

They were a good price for performance. The 390 still pulls off $5 a day in ethereum, but it uses double the power that a 1070 does.

Just checked my local retailer - almost everything is gone.
RX400 and 500-series completely gone, GTX1060 (both 3 and 6GB) sold out last week, 1070 nowhere to be found.
The only options available are GT1030, GTX1080 and an oversized dual-fan RX460.
What's funny, is that R9 370 is still in stock. People are probably afraid to buy a cheap-looking AFOX-branded card w/ green PCB, totally not knowing that it is essentially Foxconn's ugly creation.

1 x 1060 uses 100W Am i wrong?

120W according to spec.

In full load it should consume 120W

 

[silentbogo]

In full load it should consume 120W

That's the card's max TDP. Also don't forget about PSU efficiency, cause even if it is pulling 100W per card, it can be as high as 125W per card from the wall with a cheap 80+ White or Bronze PSU.
I know that a 5xGTX1060 mining rig with Celeron G1840 + 8GB DDR3 + SSD and an 80+ Gold PSU is pulling around 700W from the wall.
Not mine, but I saw it working up in one of the offices I visited recently. They had something similar to Kill-a-watt to measure effective power consumption.

Yes. Everyone is going Cryptocrazy! I think someone mentioned (maybe in this thread) that AMD and Nvidia are going to release mining versions of their cards to try to reduce supply chain issues.

I asked because mine are using max 115W, not each one both together, how could that be

Power limit at -15% on Sapphire Trixx makes even a Nitro RX480+ OC to consume just 130W while giving 28MH/s. So, RX470 using the smae trick can give 24-25MH/s consuming close to 110W. Even 390X can give over 30MH's with some undervolting to consume lower than 200W. Ethereum mining is better on CGN arch. That will not change until Volta launches. And if mining is profitable by then.

Maybe not fully loaded?
Stock 1060 3GB should do around 22-23Mhash/s, from what I've heard.

I am running a 390@over 30MH/s with undervolting. It consumes more than 300w at the wall. No idea where your numbers came from, but that was -100mV and the lowest it was stable. The 470's need a BIOS mod to come close to 24-25MH/s and the 1070 does 32MH/s while consuming 150w, so what is GCN doing better again?

I have checked and both are 100%.

Is there any benefit if i downclock the GPU clock offset and increase the Memory clock offset?

Hi guys, what do you think about an asus crosshair V formula to set three or four cards without risers?,
has a good vrm system and power deliver and the cpu itself can be set some disabled cores.

BTW nice thread and good info.

Certainly wouldn't buy it for mining, too expensive. If you already own it that's a different story.

@ST.o.CH

don't be lazy and get an Asus Z270-P with a few risers.

I can get one or two in second hand by 140~160€ each, also the price of risers of 12~14€ each with a lower combo will get the result closer to the asus crosshair value, just an idea.
For now I´ve ordered two rx580 4gb and don´t know wen they arrive.
Just waiting,lol.

140~160€

And the Asus Z270-P cost 119€ on Amazon.

Im using a crosshairv formla ,its fine , i bought a sabertooth and chip for 135 from these fair forums so at the right price id say they're ok for upto 5 with one riser.
