Bitcoin Forum

Before this thread submerges itself down into the cesspool of the Newbies subforum hell, what have you just put together in the last few weeks, and how is it working for you?

I'll start. Got two of these rigs going:

GPU: 2 x HD6970 reference w/ stock cooling  :'(
CPU: AMD A8-5600K Trinity 3.6GHz
MB: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-UP4
Hashrate: ~960kh/s in cgminer (scrypt)

Currently just running cpu on downtime for dogecoin.  Have a few systems I could set up, most the desktops have rather archaic and antiquated gpu's, do you think it would be worth the effort?  Haven't really kept up in the cryptocurrency madness to know what a bottomline for being worth the effort would be?

CPU: Intel Celeron B820 1.7Ghz
Hashrate: ~7kh/s in minerd

Your questions are exactly my own. Not looking to throw my family under a bus for an internet fad, but also not willing to be stationary as new frontiers open. I'm looking to make a small hardware investment, break even on hardware expense, and then accumulate coin slowly and surely. So far so good...

Let's see more specs for ex-Counterstrike addict dads who need to get a jump on college funds with crypto...

Building a new rig now:

GPU: AMD Radeon 7790
Then a couple of older GPU's in the case.
CPU: FX-8320 FX-Series 8-Core Black

Gaming rig that moonlights as a miner:

HTPC that wants to be a miner:

I was pulling ~320KH/s last night, my first attempt, with the gaming rig.  I came to see if ai can get that a bit higher.  The HTPC with the AMD card should be pie to setup after figuring all this out. 

Here's mine:
 
Mobo: Asus Z87 Plus
CPU: i5 Haswell 4670K 3.4gHz
GPU: Asus GTX 660Ti
PSU: Corsair 750watt
RAM: 16GB Ripjaws
CASE: Corsair C70 Vengeance
SSD: Samsung 120GB
HDD: Seagate 2TB
 
Monitors: Two Asus VE247 24"
Mouse: Logitech G9X
Mousepad: Razer Vespula
Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Ultimate
Headset: Razer Megalodon
Headphones: Audiotechnica ATH M-50
Speakers: Klipsch Promedia

GPU: Sapphire R9 290 reference model (yes it does make a lot of noise at 70% fan speed, to keep my gpu-temp below 75 celcius)
CPU: an old Core2Duo E4400
PSU: 750W 80 bronze certificate

At stock settings, ill get 820-825 khash.

Im waiting for a custom cooler for my GPU, so temps can go down to 60-65 and i can start tweaking settings.

I might get another system together for mining. We are all pioneers still. Dont let the bitcoin story hold you back. Many more millionairs will arise from this.

Tip: its good to mine alt coins, it might be even better to trade (buy low, sell high and visa versa) with it. Much more money to be made trading.

GPUs: 2x MSI TwinFrozr III 7950
CPU: AMD A4 5300 3.4 GHz
Motherboard: MSI FM2-A85XA-G43
OS: Windows 8.1

Software: MultiMiner (totally awesome!) + bfgminer (of course)

Just getting started on tuning, but when mining Litecoins I get:

Settings: -I 18
Results: 70-74 temp, 53-63 fan, 577 Kh/s

I was unclear on whether I should enter flags in MultiMiner to configure overclocking and undervolting, or whether I should use MSI Afterburner - MultiMiner author Nate Wools set me straight and recommends MSI Afterburner, so that is what I'll be doing next!

Currently "practicing" on my old PC:

GPU: 4870X2 @ 800 / 990
CPU: Core2Duo E8600
Corsair 1000W PSU

CGMiner hashing @ ~260Kh/s


Looking to build a rig comprising of 6x Asus Radeon R9 280X DirectCUII TOP 3072MB GDDR5 on MSI Z77A-GD65 Motherboard with Intel G1610 Celeron. I'll get two PSUs (Corsair AX1200 and Corsair HX1050).
Should get me approx 4.5Mh/s methinks.


PS: I'm currently hashing on the Middlecoin switching pool. Does anyone know if it works to use both CGminer and CPUpooler with the same Wallet address as username from the same computer? I tried quickly the other day but had to abort as it looked like it was freezing for some reason. Did not have the chance to try again...

10 MH/s with 7950 Vapor-X

Pretty simple:

1x HD6970 & 2x7850's for scrypt mining, 1150KH/s with an FX8320 mining quarkcoins.
Setup will run for the winter as it heats my hallway nicely :) before being put back to gaming use.

I'm using a GTX 660 Ti.
Getting about 290-300 kH/s from it

I had a 4870 too, got 125 Kh/s out of it. I have upgraded to a R9 290. Gives me 820Kh/s out of the box.

Using CUDAMiner, I'm getting around 175 khash/s with this rig:

CPU: Intel i5-2500k
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 660 Ti.

With new cuda miner i get 255kh\s. Thats good.

I've got a small set of rigs going :

2x 7950's
4x 7970's
2x 7990's
4x R9 290's

All based on an ASRock 970 Extreme 4 mobo (yeah yeah I know) with 4Gb ram and a AMD X3 445 CPU. They run steady as a rock and I get around 10Mh/s from the lot. I'm sure I can push the 290's further, but they only arrived today. Something I look forward to tweaking, if anyone has a decent config for them (I've seen a few already) ?

Sure the room is noisy, but it's also music to my ears ;)

New to mining and just started on Dogecoins:

Mobo: Asus P8Z77 -V Deluxe
CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: EVGA 780Ti SC
PSU: Seasonic 860W Platinum
RAM: 2x8GBGB G.Skill Ripjaws
CASE: Corsair 650D
SSD: Samsung 256GB
HDD: WD 2TB

Gettting ~580khash/s with cudaminer 201-12-18.

1 x 7970
4 x 7870
1 x R9 280x

running on multiple configs of machines. getting around 2.5mhash mining scrypt.

I'd be interested to know what you're getting from your single 280x and what config you're using if you'll be happy to post it ?

Hi,
Im new here got 2 cards running.
one 7970 and a 7950 going amazing but have to restart some times :/

Hi, this is my current setup.

2x Asus Radeon r9 280X
MB Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 with 6 PCIe (for future upgrades)
CPU AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz
8 GB RAM

I have stable avg. 1515 kH/s (761+754) in CGminer with these two cards.
Under volt at 1.150
GPU engine 1095 and 1090 Mhz
thread at 8192
-I 13

I had issues with running MSI afterburner and GPU tweak at the same time, seems like tweaking SW that access the cards will mess up the performance.
Best is to leave the PC and don't touch it to get stable rates.

Just 1x lonely 7870 for now. I'm new to this obviously so no reason to tax my CPU (1055T... waiting for the 4770k to arrive in the mail for the last part of my upgrade...) for the marginal gains I could get from it. Performance sure is better than the last time I tried mining a couple years ago on my own without a pool and with just my CPU. I just remember it was frustrating lol.

I do have a couple older 67xx cards laying around somewhere I guess I could throw in there...

Hi,

I am running 2 "Case"-Rigs.

The first one is a system consisting of an amd HD 6850 and a HD 5870 (650 kh/s)
The second one is my main system:
GPU: r9 280x Gigabyte rev. 2
CPU (but not mining): i5 2500K
Mainboard: Asrock Pro3 Gen3

Despite of many forum posts I´ve managed to get the GPU of my second system to 730 kh/s max. If you have any questions of how I managed that, please feel free to ask :)

New to mining here as well.  I've only been at it for about a week.

My old gaming rig is as follows:
EVGA x58 FTW
i7 930 @ 4.05
EVGA 580gtx @ 850/1700/2050 mining @ 260ish
12gig of DDR3 @ 1500 (underclocked)

New rig I'm building, assuming TigerDirect ever ships me the stuff I paid for

Asus Hero VI
i7 4770k w/c
(2) r9 290 w/c
ax 1200i PSU
Astro A40 headphones
16gigs of DDR3

Considering a mining rig of 3x R9 280x........now to find them

Hi All,

Running three smaller rigs here in a dodgy-ish DIY tower configuration(similar to the milk crates)... Will be running 4 once I get my Sapphire R9 280X back from RMA.

Miner 1(740kh/s);
Intel Core I3 3120, 4gb ram, MSI BF4 Edition R9 280X

Miner 2(1.4-1.5MH/s);
AMD FX-8130(Surprise, it actually chews less power when mining than an '09 model Athlon x2 AM3 by about 30-40w!... but don't CPU mine on it...) 8gb ram
1x Sapphire R9 280X
1x Gigabyte R9 280X

Miner3(430kh/s);
Intel Core I3 3120, 4gb ram, ASUS R9 270X

Then a really old smaller file server with a GTX 650Ti in it that gets about 100kh/s, I leave that just mining multipool for doge.

At the moment getting around 0.06-0.08BTC per day, with electricity and a decent(over $650) exchange rate I'm making about $25 after electricity per day.

I mine because I'm on holidays and it's a challenge, once the ride is over I'll sell all but 1 of the R9 280X's which will be excellent for gaming :-)

Regards,

Matt

Miner 1
amd FX Quad Core
2x Sapphire 7970 dual X
(1.4Mh/s)

Miner 2
Amd FX Quad Core
2x Msi R9 290
(1.6Mh/s)

miner 2 is also my gaming rig so only mines when i'm sleeping.

Brand new to this - trying to understand it as we speak.
I'm testing the water running Asteroid to mine litecoin and altcoins on OSX on my imac.
It's working, but very slow - clearly I need GPU rigs if I'm serious about trying this.

I'm really just trying to understand the whole economy/ecology of bitcoin/altcoins better and this seems like a good place to start.

3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 12GB Memory, graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024MB
