Hi, I am using ASUS PRIME Z270-A motherboard, after working for a few months the big cable that goes from the psu to the motherboard burned like this picture shows:  Here is the link to the image, I don't understand why it does not appear https://imgur.com/MtXySTdFirst time it happened with PSU EVGA supernova 750, this time with a Corsair CP-9020140-NA HX1200 so it is probably not the PSU. I would like to know if someone else had this problem before and how to solve it? Thanks! I'd encountered this one, it happens when I connect the 3 RX480 GPUs to the motherboard, seems that the wire couldn't cope up powering up the 3 GPU's from the mainboard. I am now using powered riser to avoid that. |

Instead of using credit card, approach people with money to invest with you. People with money would love to get into crypto. If you’ve built mining rigs, you can put together a simple business case. Oh Yeah, this is some kind of a scammers do, Lol when all things gets F*cked up, then what? try to run out of the people you scammed. On the other part, I've seen people with their friends and relatives getting unto group and doing crypto business, the downside of it is that when things get too difficult decisions take place, you can't simply decide on yourself as there are others that you may want to consider. It’s always dumb to use your own money, it’s even dumber to use money you don’t have (credit). Use someone else’s money and give them a nice ROI while you get a decent returns as well. Spread the risk and increase your profit.
You eat your own words dude, someone else money is not also your money to use of, you are more likely increase the risk by using people around. |

Longtime lurker and finally made account cause I’m desperate for help. I just finished assembling a 6 gpu rig and can’t get it to start. A quick list of parts
H110 pro btc MoBo
8g(4g x 2) dimm
i3 cpu
6 - 1070 ti zotac amp extreme
2400w server psu from parallel miner
So I have built computers before and pretty confident everything on hardware side was installed correct. When I turned on, I don’t get anything on screen. For simplicity I flashed SMos on a usb and it looks like it’s booting but nothing on screen. After trying everything, if I unplug all the gpu cards, it boots off usb, but gives like 3 screens of text and then stops. When I plug gpu back in, the monitor I’m using says signal not supported, I’m using onboard dvi, to div to hdmi converter to hdmi in on monitor. Also have tried plugging into gpu hdmi or dvi and with no signal or signal not supported.
When I have all gpu off and plug video to onboard and begins the smos boot up, I don’t see any options to enter bios. Can I take a new MoBo with not update graphics files and run the SMOs from start? I didn’t extract the SMos zip file before flashing to usb because it didn’t say to in directions, should I have extracted it first?
How do I get into bios? Does a MoBo without any hard drives or memory sticks still be able to boot into bios? I’ve been at it for hours and last thing I can think of is trying with a windows boot usb and see how that works, if not, will see if I get a dvi to vga cable and see if the message “not supported mode” I get from monitor with gpu installed is the issue.
Bottom line, if I put everything together correctly, should I be able to have a smos usb as the only thing I do on software side and have it work or do I need to install some drivers first? I guess if smos cant fully run, then the gpu don’t have drivers and that why they don’t work? Any help is appreciated.
You should be able to see your bios settings or a disk boot failure error if your PC components installed correctly without an OS, mainboards has typical "press type key ' in order to get into bios, most probably a F12, F10, F1, or Del. You may try the windows boot if that would make you feel confident enough to troubleshoot, then go back to SMOS when everything's fine, set aside your GPU's, make your OS worked first, then do the rest. |

Bought a mining rig with 3x GTX 1070 2 months ago, I started mining Ethereum with it untill now I was wondering if there is anything better / more profitable to mine besides ETH?
There are online calculators available to identify present profitability on each gpu rigs like the one posted above me, others do their own research and trial to mine newly created coins and hold for a price incease, it is basically a do your own search and mining test setup |

Hello guys Although Rig goes on fire might occur at a very minimal and very slight chances but what shall i deal with it? So i just bought my rig weeks ago, and just placed it on my third floor yesterday. The average Temp up there are at least + 10 Celsius compare to my room which the rig will be range around 70-80 Celsius 6 of my Rx470 are on -1210 Core Cloak -1900 Memory Clock - 30-40% Fan Speed My Rig is the wood type of rig like the wood frame we normally see. Hence my questions here 1) It Is very likely that fire will happen although it may be rare, however which parts of the Rig Component will causes it? Will power supply goes on fire? Will the GPU gets too hot and the wood starts to burn up? 2) As we know wood is a bad fire resistance material, My house 3rd floor is made of wooden texture, which the floor is purely made of wood, should i put something inflammable right below my rig? Thanks for helping, because i can't just risk my rig to burn off the house that is not payed by me  Aside from faulty components such as GPU, Risers, Mainboards and PSU, you should should check your Electrical wirings and Circuit breakers, I'd experienced a heating wires and breakers in my box before, redoing all of the rooms electrical wires upgrading to 8AWG |

Good luck Nathan! It looks like you put 2 rigs at home right? If it's the case, is that suitable for using server PSU? I heard that it's very noisy.
Seems that he is aiming for future build as he wants the shelf to be filled up, 'N' state, Agree with this, as server psu might as loud as hell and might need a separate room or modification at least to lessen the noise. Consider also your temperature environment, and think how would you drive out the heat outside. |

My setup are as follows biostar tb250-btc (running on latest firmware) Asus DUAL-GTX1060-O6G Corsair HXi Series HX1000i High-Performance ATX Power Supply Platinum The issue is i am getting unstable power usage on 1 of the gpu and I cant figure out what is wrong. I had swaped gpu 1 to gpu 0 slot and that gpu slot is still having unstable power, so I guess is not the gpu issue. no matter how I change the setting, the card fail to get stable power, even when i reset to default it is still unstable. i am using remote desktop will doing configuration. anyone had experience on this ?   The two cards have different configuration Clocks, have you tried the config in identical settings? what is the mining effects with this what you called "unstable power" while mining Ethereum? |

Is claymore miner support 32 bit wintow 10 ?
Will it good with Nvidia 840 M GPU card?
Unfortunately No, It doesn't support 32bit, its in the first page posted by the OP. Will it good with Nvidia 840 M GPU card?
Is this a built in GPU cards on laptop? just in case it is, then its not advisable to do mining on laptop |

I'm about to get started GPU mining and I was wondering if double mining is still worth it and what pair would be the best to mine with 1070s?
you might mean "Dual Mining", just to let you know that dual mining will add extra stress on your card and a bit power usage, you can mine with ETH-Sia, ETH-LBRy in Claymore, you could also try other algos supported by miners. Others don't really advise dual mining as it might lessen GPU's life. its really up to you. |

I've been running a few mining rigs, which are basically just motherboards crammed with cards.
Due to heat problems, I've been looking to get some risers - and they finally arrived. I got 100 cm flexible USB cable risers, with SATA power. They look impressive 3 filter caps and a VRM on the riser board.
Anyway, the first thing I found was that no cards would be detected on the risers until I set the mobo BIOS to PCI-e v1.0.
So far, so good. So, one at a time, I transferred cards from mobo onto riser cables, and after a few false starts, I had 2 cards running on risers, and 1 on the mobo.
That's when I start to get adventurous, and connect a 4th card to a 1x PCI-e slot, and power it via a 2nd PSU. All the connections are double checked. The riser is in the slot the correct way round, etc.
Link the PSUs with a dual PSU adaptor, and power up.
*Sizzle* *Pop* *Crackle* <Burning smell> Cue sparks and smoke rising from the 1x PCI-e slot. The mobo is totally dead.
I recheck all the connections, and they are definitely correct.
Thinking I made a mistake, I decide to have another go.
This time, I connect directly a 1x PCI-e slot with a 4th card, after triple checking everything.
*Sizzle* *Crackle* Sparks. Another motherboard now dead.
I don't get it. I've built dozens of PCs in the past, and built a heap of mining rigs, albeit without risers. I've done dual PSU before.
What could have happened? What was cause sparks and sizzling and burn out a mobo. I've looked at the PCI-e riser design, and the power pins are not connected on the riser, so I don't see how a power surge or something could have come from the 2nd PSU back feeding the PCI-e slot.
Any ideas? Could it be a bad riser card? I've run a multimeter over it, and there don't appear to be any shorts or anything. I'm completely baffled.
I was thinking if you put your riser connection into PCI-e slot "Backwards", then it sure burnt it. see this thread, not sure if it is, and might help in case https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1983900.0 |

Pay off your credit card balance straight away, you fool(s).
Don't use credit cards to borrow money, the interest rate is way too high. You're throwing money away. Credit cards should be used as a normal mean of payment. Not to spend more than you have!
Listen to him! He is more clever than you think. Oh Really, is 0.5% per month way too high to you?that's the offer for most of my cards, OP has already stated he is generating a pretty good profit from it, I agree with paying it straight if you have the chance to, however , using cards with returns is also a wise investment. |

You won't be able to run all 18 cards on the same motherboard. Running more than 13 GPU's with the Asus B250 mining expert REQUIRES using Nvidia P106 mining cards. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2357461.msg24031325#msg24031325If you want to run all AMD cards I would suggest breaking it up in to a 12 card build on a ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ and a 6 card build on a Biostar TB85 or another H110 Pro BTC+ motherboard if you plan to expand. I'll go with Vann's advice, even you manage all cards to be working on one Rig this is not practical for since it has a centralized failure, mining is not a 100% reliable all the time of the day, if any of the GPU's, PC components, Softwares or even connectivity failed, your profits will greatly reduced. Also, each RX470 will draw 180-190w in dual mining, 4x650w PSU in 18GPU is not sufficient to power them all |

Do you mean the Nicehash miner.exe or the hashrate marketplace nicehash? The miner is shit, but the marketplace is good for selling hashrate. They are two very diffrent things.
This. I would go further and say more but I will say this. Some pools pay 1 time a day. That is 30 times a month. Nice hash pays 4 times a month. if that is going into a core wallet. when you pull the coins out the nice hash method = 4x fees the other pools = 30x fees big difference. I find I now get about .5 btc incoming each month I rather pay 0.0004 fee to move it then a 0.0030 fee to move it. With btc hot and waiting a week to get coin the price has risen very steady and I may have sold faster then I did sell btc. I have reached the point in mining that I can only lose by mining and holding too much coin. the weekly nice hash payments make sell coin an easy decision. You've nailed it bro, I guess I'm not that lazy after all.. secrets has been revealed..Lol cheers for the BTC back to 11k |

Not sure where to post this as im new here,
when i start the program i get an error saying: Stratum authorization error. Any ideas?
its probably a pool issue, post your config and well see what we can do to help. what pools are you using? post also your CPU systems and hardware specs |

I just use a respectable Exchange wallet for my ETH mining before, and can do trade upon receiving the coins, I have no problems with them
for the mining pools, these three are my favorites
Dwarfpool
Nanopool
Ethermine

Hi,
is mining Monero a good option at the moment?
Kind regards Florian
well, it will always depend on your Mining cards, AMD cards will do better at Cryptonight algo that includes Monero as of the moment http://whattomine.com/take note that this is at present difficulty, the profits may change rapidly from time to time |

Hi everyone - first time posting to the forum but been reading the threads for quite a number of months. I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I have a 7 GPU rig made up of (5) GTX 1060's and (2) RX470's. My RX470's are giving me very low hashrates. They fluctuate between 12 mh/s and 18 mh/s. Here is my configuration. Any thoughts?
AMD RX470 Strix Gaming 4GB - Hynix Chips
Windows 10 1709 all updates applied
swap file 20GB
Dual Miner 10.2 ETH+SIA
AMD 17.11.4 drivers +DAG Patch (Previously had blockchain, no change in speed)
Compute mode on
MSI Afterburner V4.4
Any thoughts on what I can change to get more consistent and higher rates?
Note: My 1060 are consistent at 23 mh/s
you need to mod your GPU Bios in order to achieve better hashrate for AMD RX470, see threads below https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1882656.new#newit should reach at least 27-29mh/s |

RX 470/570 23-30 h/s also optimal hash/watt
1070 @ 28-30h/s
1060 @ 18-22 h/s
It should be mh/s not h/s in ETH AMD RX cards requires modification in order to achieve higher hashrate upto 30mh/s, GPU price ranging 250-300USD GTX 1070 cards can do also upto 30mh/s without modification and by tuning clocks only, GPU price range 310-500 there are online calculators out there to check your present profitability on each card goodluck to your mining journey |
