Currently have two RX 5700s rig humming away in my garage, its currently 51f degrees outside so its keeping the garage nice and warm when the wife and I pull out of the garage in the morning
You must have some good insulation to actually feel a difference with only 2 GPUs ... He may mean 2 Rx 5700 rigs with multiple GPU's each ... |

Valuation logic's pretty much consistent across the answers already given. You can expect between 25k-35k at best since the markets been flooded with cheap GPU's and those form the bulk of your value.

Mining in its current state is only profitable for people that already have rigs lying around, and even they barely make any money. Its not advisable to make a rig for mining in the current market.
This is ofcource based on the assumption that you have regular-price electricity - like 10c. If you have access to cheap electricity - like 4c or something then by all means dive right in, there will always be something worth mining.
As for Ethereum, I hope and pray that we see 2.0 released in 2020, its see faar too many delays. When that comes however, mining will take a definite hit and profitability will tank since Eth lead the current resurgence in mining, and the vast majority of all GPU miners are on it.

Guys, quick one please:
I'm hooking up a few case fans to a rig, and they've got molex extenders.
Can I just daisy chain, say, 3 of them and power them with one single molex power cable from the PSU? Will all 3 fans run at full speed?
Yes, ive daisy chained exactly 3 fans on several occassions on one molex, work perfectly fine, most case fans draw less than 1A anyways. |

You need two things : SimpleMiningOS also knows as smOS (a linux distro built for mining) and SimpleRigResetter (a hardware device built by the same guy that allows you to physically turn power on/off on all the rigs individually, as well as set rules like auto-reset power incase a miner hangs.

It cant be ethanol since it didnt catch fire.
It cant be 3M Novec since you drink it.
It cant be distilled water since theres no evaporation.
What the Hell is it?
The oldest immersion cooling liquid - Mineral Oil.

1.Will this board support 10 gpus? I accidentally bought the b250 mining expert for 19 cards but that board can only do 7 nvidia cards at most. are there any such restrictions for this board?
The B250 supports upto 13 GPU's of ANY kind, what error are you getting when you use more than 7? 2.the risers draw power from the psus, so do I have to add them to my estimates for power draw? every guide I have read so far says that I only need to calculate the wattage per gpu and add 150 for the fans, cpu and ram.
Yes and no. The risers do draw power, but that is a part of the GPU power draw, so if a GPU is rated at 90 wats, its drawing a part of it - lets say 70w - from the PCIe 6/8 pin connector and the rest - 20w - from the PCIe slot itself - in this case the riser. 3.Can I plug the two wall socket plugs into a surge protector so that they only use one wall socket? or should each go into their own plugs on the wall socket?
You can, and I prefer doing that for multi PSU systems, but make sure you get a high quality surge protector, rated at atleast 10a per socket. |

now mining is not profitable ? are you using a solar power or electric ?
Its pretty profitable across India on regular electric connections, it has been for a couple of months now. |

guys, i have some concerns about wether this fit into my already given case. I came up with the idea to just use 2x dp1200 from my old rigs. I can save time and money. I thought I might use one of these
thoughts?
Multi PSUsetup is pretty easy with server PSU's since you do not need to short the psu's to start etc. Just connect them using individual cables, dont bother with fancy cable/connector multiplexers. Power on the psu's one by one, the PSU powering the picoPSU connected to the motherboard should be powered last. If you want a proper solution instead of trying it yourself, get the PSU packages that Finsky offers on these forums : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=966135https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1308296 |

It's crazy today that ethereum prices break more than $ 300, this will continue to increase if the bitcoin pump continues. Next I am very sure that I will break $500.
Not crazy at all, the price is still very low compared to bitcoin. The btc trading pair should be at least .075-.1 if we want to see a true recovery to ethereum's former glory. Years back when BTC tried to jump $14,000 at that time ethereum price was at above $450, I believe. So ethereum price is not so high compare to current price of Bitcoin as mate said above but we can expect ethereum will also go higher next month. Years back? That was December 2017 ... |

Mining is more of a low risk long term reward project, its usually better to just buy the coin directly if you believe in it and want quicker profits. But investing in crypto also carrys the risk of all your investment being virtual, while mining atleast secures part of your investment in hardware which has some resale value. I know someone who bought AMD cards and setup their own mining rigs,it cost around 4,00,000 for them and they used to mine altcoins on it but with the current price it is no more profitable they considering sale the equipments and want the money to invest back on the altcoins rather than mining it.
Mining can be profitable at long term.
Well thats a pretty steep price, I think he purchased the parts during the mining peak when everything was double the price, and even then he got scammed with the prices. Mining hardware has been really cheap this year with the crash that happened last year, and prices are yet to rise again even though the bull run has begun. There are a ton of great resources in the altcoin mining threads on bitcointalk, spend some time reading those, theyll help. |

Bad news today in the middle of a bull run - Koinex is shutting down. Profitability is climbing daily though, so mixed feelings.

Profitability climbing making mining viable again, and local exchanges (koinex today) start shutting down. This isn't good news.

Well I guess its pretty easy to spot a genuine post, if it comes from someone who has been around for a while, and isnt shilling something, its a proper post.
In any case if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I dont see how a merit source would help if the content isnt worthy of merit.

sometime ago i saw some special mod for 30$ for eg. saphire 470 (nitro, mining, 4gb, 8Gb...) now i can "only"  find the ones for 5$ - i missed something  Yeah that's cause Bios mods are a lot less valuable now that ElioVP has open sourced his powerplay tables mod that changes memory timings on the fly. And then claymore went ahead and incorporated them into his miners too. |

EVGA Black 2080Ti: +180/+600/75%PL for 1.96 G/s. It will actually go above 2.2 G/s at 85%PL on its own, but not in the 6-card mixed 2080Ti/2070/1080Ti/1080 rig with a cheap CPU it is currently running in.
Grin31 (and grin29) is a compute intensive algo so you do not need to overclock your memory. Since GPU memory is the first component to fail during prolonged mining, I suggest you underclock memory to the lowest it would go. ALso, leave the core on auto - Nvidia GPU's do a pretty good job of ocing to the highest clocks possible within the thermal and power limits - the only setting you need is a power limit of 75% and a temp limit of 80c. |

More specifically, it seems about 20% of these risers are DOA (lol... China)
Umm ... I've seen a less than 2% failure rate in the over 3k risers purchased to date any of those risers that you buy for like $8 each
If you're buying em at $8 no wonder you're stuck with swampland  |

Don't know which model you are talking about with Sapphire but those Sapphire Dual-X 280X which had exploding MOSFETs and also featured crappy sleeve bearing fans which were as bad as Gigabyte pretty much.
Can confirm, Sapphire rolls out some designs that are just shit. Their RX 470 4GB stock design cards were a similar shit design with exploding mosfets. I have had over 30 out of about 200 fail on me with the exact same mosfet issue. And the burn was so severe that sapphire has even refused RMA on two of those 30. No other brand/model have failed for me - not even sapphires other models. |

Profitability is riding up again. All aboard the hype train  fingers crossed. |
