Title: Making Ethereum or Zcash mining rig Post by: jenifive on April 24, 2017, 02:21:29 PM Hello! Im starting making a couple of rigs for mining ethereum and zcash and another hashimoto currencies.
Is there a problem when you making a rig with 5-6 GPUs on motherboard or not? I heard that without a problem you can set up 4 GPUs on board. And after 5 GPUs or more there could issues awating for me to optimise system to make it working. Is this right? So the question is what will be better and more stable. 1. 1 RIG with 4 GPUs on board 2. 1 RIG with 5 or more GPUs. Or it does not matter they are working the same way okay without any distinctive issues. Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig.

Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig. Post by: jenifive on April 24, 2017, 03:22:49 PM Is there any differnce between choosing 1150, 1151, 1155 sockets?
Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig. Post by: evakka on April 24, 2017, 03:31:44 PM for the mining purposes it doesn't matter at all
For the combination, mobo that supports 6xGPUs plus the CPU try to find the cheapest in the market Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig. Post by: philipma1957 on April 24, 2017, 03:36:53 PM for the mining purposes it doesn't matter at all I strongly disagree if you are building only one 1 six card rigFor the combination, mobo that supports 6xGPUs plus the CPU try to find the cheapest in the market I disagree if you are building only 1 or 2 six card rigs. At 3 six card rigs I agree somewhat At 4 or more six card rigs I fully agree. Is there any differnce between choosing 1150, 1151, 1155 sockets? all good questions. let me ask a question or 2 from you. do you plan on making 1 six rig? do you plan on expanding to a lot of rigs? there are downsides to 1 six card rig. if the psu dies you are doing zero hashing If you want to hedge and mine both zec and eth you will not be able to do it simultaneously . if you have only one rig with six cards trouble shooting it means all your gear is not hashing I say go with newest mobo the one below will do four cards and is a new socket 1151 if you look you will see how I compare it with a six card newer 1151 mobo what happens is as you scale past 12 cards the six card mobo makes sense. but up to 12 cards the argument for using smaller four card setups is right there. Below comes from a different post of mine : this is the cheapest quality small mobo I know you can start with 2 cards in the slots and later add more cards with risers it can do 2 in slots = 3 it can do 2 in slots and 1 in a riser = 3 card it can do 1 in one slot and then 3 with risers = 4 card it is a great trouble shoot board and it is a gigabyte 250m so it is physically very small 80 bucks https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145007 I put this cpu in it http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i3-6100T-3-2GHz-3M-Cache-DualCore-LGA1151-CPU-Processor-SR2HE-/322490605689? paid 91 for the cpu it will take this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-G4400T-Processor-2-9GHZ-Low-Voltage-CPU-Only-Socket-LGA-1151-NEW-/252844237292? nice psu sale so 109 http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-SuperNOVA-220-P2-0750-RX-750W-ATX12V-EPS12V-SLI-Ready-CrossFire-Ready-80-/382026031239? a stick of ram 25 bucks http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kingston-16-GB-M-2-NGFF-mSATA-SSD-Chromebooks-Acer-/201888633168? 5 dollars for the m2 and smOS is free at the moment so 80 mobo 55 cpu 109 psu plat evga 750 watt 25 ram 5 ssd/os so 274 for 2 card 284 for 3 card 304 for 4 card you need 3 risers. now do this with a six rig 85 but out of stock https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138449 85 mobo 55 cpu 25 ram 5 ssd os 229 for an evga 1200 watt p2 or 189 for an evga 1300 watt g2 60 for siz risers so 394 for six cards x 2 = 12 cards at 788 with gold or 304 for 4 cards x 3 = 12 cards at 912 with plat so even with 2 six card rigs vs 3 four card rigs the edge just tips to six card maybe not as the six card may run louder and hotter then the 3 four card setups. you will save watts with the 3 four card card setups. All goes by the wayside as you expand but up to 12 cards it is very close Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig. Post by: jenifive on April 24, 2017, 05:12:28 PM let me ask a question or 2 from you. do you plan on making 1 six rig? do you plan on expanding to a lot of rigs? Im planning to buy 12-14 GPUs (470s or 480s) and gear for that. (mother, ram, hdd and etc.) So im looking for an answer of what is better. More motherboard or less motherboards or it does not matter. If you want to hedge and mine both zec and eth you will not be able to do it simultaneously . No im planning to mine what is profitable to mine at this moment. Not simultaneously.

Post by: xxcsu on April 24, 2017, 05:55:32 PM if you are a kind of computer person , and know a few things about pc :), and you know how/what you doing then go for a 6-7 cards setup . I never has a problem with none of my rigs , my builds mostly are 7 cards setup ...
if you are a NOB to build computers, and have no idea about fine tuning your bios , your cards, your rigs then go for a 4-5 cards setup . YES , you can read a lot of posts here , like omg windows can not see my 6th or 7th cards . Those ppl dont have a basic knowledge how to build computers. Make sure you know your future system total power draw at the wall , not from gpuz ... make sure you get the right psu for your setup , make sure you get powered risers ,then you should be ok :) Dont be cheap on your psu , get a brand name with 10 years warranty :) Cpu socket really doesn't matter If you have a motherboard that supports 6 GPUs and those GPUs are having the same exact characteristics and they are from the same vendor you will be fine really doesnt' matter , but much easier to fine tune the cards if they are the same model from the same manufacturer :)Im planning to buy 12-14 GPUs (470s or 480s) and gear for that. (mother, ram, hdd and etc.) i would go for a less mobo more cards setups ;)So im looking for an answer of what is better. More motherboard or less motherboards or it does not matter. and... you can mine zec and eth simultaneously on the 6 cards setup :)or any setup with more than 1 cards :) Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig.

Sapphire Nitro OC Radeon RX 470 1140Mhz PCI-E 3.0 8192Mb 8000Mhz? Its cheaper than 480, making 20% less power consumption, and almost the same hashreate as 480 (3-4 MHS).

MSI, Sapphire, XFX? Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig Post by: philipma1957 on April 25, 2017, 09:17:54 PM What is the best 470, 480 GPU manufacturer to buy? MSI, Sapphire, XFX? Msi gamer red led = good I owned 50 of them rx 470 8gb, rx 470 4gb, rx 480 8gb, rx 480 4gb all four models purchased them since last august . 0 failed in my usage I sold off 48 of them the last 2 months 1 failed in someone else's hands. so 49 of 50 still work they look good with all the leds and they are quiet. I was able to do an rma for the dead one. sapphire = some good some bad. 2 failed I had 6 or 8 of them the failures happened after I sold them. I was not able to do an rma it was denied xfx = some good some bad I had about 10 sold them all none have died. asus strix 480 8gb = good I still have 4 of these. I had as many as 7 of them. 1 died it shorted It may have been my error i got an rma for it. to me if I was still buying rx 470's or 480's I would want the best price on 8gb models I would no longer buy any 4gb models unless the price was stupid cheap like ½ of an 8gb model.

One important thing im interested in is what memory manufacturer will i get on sapphire 470 8gb or MSI 470 8gb. Because i heard that sapphire on 8gb version GPU using always Samsung. I dont know about MSI on that note. If in my place where i live the difference between 470 8gb and 480 8gb is 35$ what should i buy? Also can you please name the differnce in hashrate on Sapphire 470 8gb, 480 8gb or MSI 470 8gb, 480 8gb if you have all of them to compare. And do you have statistics what amount of power consumption per kwatt will any of it GPU will get? Did you ckecked what are the memory manufacturers on your MSI 470 8gb and Sapphire 8gb and how many of them are Samsung and not? Title: Re: Making Ethereum/Zcash mining rig Post by: jenifive on April 25, 2017, 09:25:21 PM to me if I was still buying rx 470's or 480's So you are buying right now other GPUs?

Title: Re: Making Ethereum or Zcash mining rig Post by: philipma1957 on April 26, 2017, 11:53:59 AM It will be 22-25mh for eth
Title: Re: Making Ethereum or Zcash mining rig Post by: Andrew1337 on April 26, 2017, 12:23:48 PM Well , i think with this rig you can get 370usd monthly : 6x rx 480 , 4gb ram , flower power 1200w , intel haswell g180 2,7ghz , 6 pci raisers you can get like 180 185 mhs . But you have to pay like 60 90 usd monthly for power electrocity ( now depends by your rate )
Also in future will appear minexcoin , and you can mine it . In my opinion will be profitable #minexcoin.com Title: Re: Making Ethereum or Zcash mining rig Post by: jenifive on April 26, 2017, 12:45:43 PM It will be 22-25mh for eth In which 470 8gb version can i get 27 mh? I have GPU whith A1714 barcode Maybe its more reasonable to buy Nvidia cards if im focusing on mining coins after Ethereum POW?
