Note I killed off 99% of this thread in April 2020.
My wife and I both had covid. The was still suffering from the after effects of having the illness> I also had some permanent damage from covid ( I may do surgery in 2021).

It is now December my wife after months of doctors and treatments is better and hopefully is going to be okay.
I am less angry about covid and its effects on me and my wife.

I wanted to offer an apology about deleting this thread (50 or more pages)
I will look around and see if I can save some of it.

Update  Note title change

From this  title:

My 1 gpu now 11gpus 5rigs for Ethereum. 45 days of mining. Photos thoughts.




Original info below:




 First off I made a lot of money  with LTC and gpu rigs.  Then was crashed by asics for ltc gridseed and GAW killed me.

But I kept a rig and it just sat on a shelf doing nothing. I decided to bring it back to life.

Cost = zero usd.

Some details and photos to follow.

The rig is a sapphire hd7970 with a huge heat sink the biggest and baddest around .  I can not get my hd7970 to overheat.

You can always mine X11 with that Tahiti based GPU and get about 11MH/s with the optimized bin file.

For the last 48 hours I think you would of made a little more with X11 than ETH according to Nicehash.

Uses a little more power however.

Don't really care as I don't want to go down the rabbit hole and end up with 10 pc's running 30 to 40 gpus.

I ordered an r7 370 from amazon  a 4gb model should get 15-17mh  but use under 140 watts.

I dug up a platinum corsair and tweaked the hd7970 to get about 20mh at 185 watts.

if I end up with 35-38mh at 325 watts I am fine with ethereum.

I have a photo of a cleaned up setup.
It is so quiet I can watch tv sitting 2 feet from it

last of the threads.

I was pretty angry about the april fools joke last year and deleted most of this thread.

Looking back at that action I regret I did it.

I now have my 8 older threads all in time order.

I may ask loyce if he has records on this thread. And try to restore it.
