Title: R9 480 x mining rig ether Post by: Ale91 on July 28, 2016, 04:53:41 PM Hi!
this is my project: 6x rx 480 reference 4/8? gb corsair hx 1000i Asrock H81 Pro BTC ssd: sandisk 120 gb ram:8 gb ddr3 corsair 1866 cables: http://www.ebay.it/itm/PCI-E-1X-to-16X-30cm-USB-3-0-Extender-Riser-Card-SATA-15Pin-4Pin-Cable-AC392-/391504693472?hash=item5b277f88e0:g:-90AAOSwRgJXg96t ??are good? Intel Celeron G1840 opinion? tips? for the software what is a good one?thanks ;D Title: Re: R9 480 x mining rig ether Post by: VirosaGITS on July 28, 2016, 05:14:20 PM For the software, i'd keep an eye on EthOS release for 480 support in mid august. Otherwise i guess Windows is the only way to go?
Nice rig anyhow, 8gb is probably pure overkill for mining, those risers are what i use purely and recommend, they are great... unless you hit a bad batch from some crapper reseller (i get mine from aliexpress), good luck :) Title: Re: R9 480 x mining rig ether Post by: Ale91 on July 28, 2016, 06:25:01 PM Ok! thanks but for alternative a good software for windows? ::)

They have been good for me and they give great customer service. I had a problem with a riser and they sent another one out, managed to repair that riser so I now have an extra one seal in the bag. I think the cables are a bit longer to Title: Re: R9 480 x mining rig ether Post by: rockyforever on July 28, 2016, 08:07:28 PM Ok! thanks but for alternative a good software for windows? ::) get windows for free from the bay where pirates be!Also just run claymore miner.

Its not really used. Though Windows can be quite a hog for no reason. Title: Re: R9 480 x mining rig ether Post by: Ale91 on July 29, 2016, 09:35:33 PM I do not understand.
where is a guide for those starting from scratch . for the software Title: Re: R9 480 x mining rig ether Post by: QuintLeo on July 29, 2016, 09:46:38 PM No reason to insist on running Windows for mining Ethereum with - LINUX, especially Ubuntu/KUbuntu/XUbuntu 14.04 versions works fine, and with the Catalyst 16,7 and up drivers the 16.04 releases should also work.

You have to download the AMD 16.3 beta drivers for AMD PRO and run the installer. Its not for noobs lol. There is a way to overclock the cards. Bios and something that interacts with the driver. I rather downvolt and downclock my cards, but up the memory mhz by flashing the bios on my windows machine then install it on the Ubuntu machines.

Intel Celeron G1840 opinion? tips? for the software what is a good one?thanks ;D I recommend looking at AwesomeMiner which works to mine all coins and can mine with Claymore's. I would avoid EthOS as the guy that is running the Dev can decide to shut your access down whenever he pleases after you have paid. I purchased 12 copies and now I have $480 worth of software that I cannot use anymore. Just my 2 cents |
