I couldn't find any CPU that would work on an ATX mother board, am I mistaken? Yeah you are mistaken. There are plenty aval that will work on any Z97 or H97 mobo provided the BIOS is up to date and supports those CPU's per manufacturer. If one had like 50 Z97/H97 mobos, they could make a killing. Unfortunately you need mobo, ram, HDD/flash drive and PSU. But I can still stomp that $250 Brix deal into the dust with what ive found. |

Hmmm, according to Intel, the 5575r chip is CAPABLE of hyperthreading. I wonder if there's a driver that can enable it?
Dude no its not.... https://ark.intel.com/products/87714/Intel-Core-i5-5575R-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz4 cores/4 threads. Historically, desktop i5's have never had hyperthreading. Only the mobile variants that were dual core had hyper threading. Even today, the 6 core i5 8600k has 6 cores/6 threads. I dont know what you are talking about with a "driver" enabling "hyperthreading". I wonder if any of you have ever really dealt with CPUs prior to this. My i5 mac mini and my i5 macbook pro both have hyperthreading. And they both use mobile CPUs which have always followed the doctrine of "Dual core + hyper threading". |

I'm from Denmark originally, but reside in the U.S. in central Virginia these days. Those are the Blue Ridge Mountains you can see in some of the pics. We don't have mountains like that in Denmark. The tallest "mountain" if you can even call it that, is 561 feet.  To be fair the tallest mountain in the appalachians is Mount Mitchell at nearly 6700 feet. Still not that tall but it not some little hill lol. |

Most coins with cryptonight or cryptonight-lite will work ok, Monero, DigitalNote, Bytecoin and Aeon being the most popular. With CPU mining is not actually possible to make a daily profit, but if you still want to mine something, see what will bring you the most coins for you and has some chance of price increases so you can profit from it over time.
My advice, just skip it, the wear of the system is not worth the potential profit.
You might as well stop posting, there absolutely ARE cpus that can mine and make a nice profit.... For most CPU's its not worth it but some like Ryzen are feasible. |

Wow, thats a lot of work. Your area looks very similar to mine in the Appalachians.

yea but the DAG file seems like it's gonna mess up rx cards real bad.
AMD fixed that with the mining drivers. |

...was having some problems with developers not agreeing on something and I believe there was even this US team vs some other country's developer team. Didn't even bother reading more about it.
Same could be said for Bitcoin. I've made a small fortune from BURST; paid for my 70TB farm a few times over. Doesn't add to overhead since I already have PCs mining GPU and CPU. I don’t doubt it but the people involved in burst are children. One needs only to check the forums for evidence of that. The only reason anyone has made money is because crypto in general went up. Burst coin has a very bleak future due to the constant infighting and childish behavior from the devs. |

When it comes to ease of use and operation Nvidia is the superior. So many frustrating hours spent trying to get custom BIOS to work on AMD, compared to mere minutes of plug and play with Nvidia.
Not to mention, over the last week Newegg went from $749.99 to $849.99 for the Vega FE. It was hardly worth it at $749 but $849? No way! |

I want mine Monero and i read that VEGA FE has good hashes for Criptonight coins. How many hashes are you getting with Vega FE with Monero? Is it too loud? Heat too much? Because I live in Brazil and the climate here is hot. So maybe GTX 1070 is a better option because consume less power and is easier to cooldown?
If you are concerned about heat, do NOT get a Vega FE. Seriously. Don’t do it if you can not keep the card cool. It’ll throttle and you’ll be worse of than if you got the 1070. Really, for a hot climate a Vega FE is about the worst choice you can make. |

It’s as mediocre as it’s always been. I can’t see someone buying these unless they really were desperate. Really low power density for a rig.

You cant buy a prebuilt mining rig unless you pay a premium $$$.
Nothing is free and a prebuilt rig will cost more than building it yourself.
Right now, you can hardly buy ANY cards worth mining on. Anyone selling GPU's/Rigs/components knows its a sellers market. Even god damn Newegg raised the price on the VEGA FE card from $749 to $799 and everyone knows those are a bitch to deal with.
Good luck, because you're going to be paying out the nose and that's taking a big gamble that Eth stays where its at price wise, because if the price falls, the difficulty wont.

I think that in the future the ethereum will switch to a new protocol of work, which excludes mining. If this happens, the owners of equipment for mining will be very unhappy.
No, everyone will just switch to another currency. Nvidia people will go to NeoScrypt coins and Equihash (Zcash) amd AMD guys (RX cards) will jump ship to other Ethash coins. Nvidia users will have MUCH more flexibility when it comes to mining other coins whereas AMD RX users are more of a one trick pony for Ethash. AMD RX cards can mine other crpyto, but not nearly as good as Nvidia cards. Thats why ive got Nvidia only, more efficient, better resale and most important, better flexibility. |

Gaming doesn't present a CONSISTANT high-level load to a GPU.
Comparing based on GAMING stats means nothing.
It has been shown a LOT of times that mining puts a LOT more stress and that most algorithms soak a LOT more power than any gaming does.
Why do you keep talking about MEANINGLESS Teraflops figure, that has absolutely ZERO to do with mining performance.
And, your links do NOT say anything about undervolting being available, the standard RX series cards have the SAME "voltage control" optimization logic that your links are talking about - that logic goes back to AT LEAST the R9 3xx series, and has been shown to NOT optimize well in a mining environment.
The only difference is how they TUNED the logic for the APU involved - which is also the case in every other APU and recent GPU that AMD has built, they ALL have different "tuning" to that logic depending on the model.
Do try READING the links you post before you point to them as demonstrating information that IS NOT THERE.
Have you ever actually USED an AMD APU before?
Buddy, more resources went into the Xbox APU than you know. Its tuned much more precisely than the standard desktop cards. Its NOT THE SAME and should have no problem handling an algo like Ethash. Perhaps not dual mining but the console was made to handle the GPU at full 100% load. You're not on the dev team that developed the xbox APU, so you cant sit there and say it will or wont work..... I swear its like you are only here for the sake of arguing. |

Installed it and says the activation key has already been used. Thing is I looked at seller feedback and there was tons of recent happy customers of this Windows 10 Professional. I paid $47 for it.
Now I am worried the DVD I got perhaps might not even be legit.
Downloading Windows 10 from Microsoft and going to make USB thumb drive and reinstall windows from a copy I know is safe. Then I'll use the product key they provided me. If it fails again I'll call Microsoft to see if they can activate it.
Should I just go with linux install instead? Can I mine all the top stuff listed on WhatToMine.com with linux install or is windows better?
Also what about simple mining os or the like?
Don't know what to do, got four $525 1070 ti's coming in the mail today and need to get this up and running. Got a little over 3 grand in this rig so far with 4 cards.
ANother option is I could pay $119 and download Windows 10 home from Microsoft and make thumb drive with that.
But I figured pro was better so that's why I got it off ebay for $47.. (e.g. remote desktop .. in case I get multiple rigs later).
EDIT: Thinking more about linux.. wouldn't the drivers for the 1070 ti be better right now on WIndows? It's a relatively new card and well I am sure Nvidia makes the drivers for WIndows first since they are purchased for gaming PC's.
Buddy, what the fuck did I just read? You DON'T NEED TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS 10!!!!!!!!!! Literally just download it and use it..... microsoft is fine with this, only caveat is that you will have a watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. |

I never understood why someone would continue to post with that negative rep shit on display. Like do you really expect help with that showing? |

how many have you gotten working together stable on one rig?
To get them VEGAs stable you need to do some scripting. My VEGAs run at full speed for a few hours then suddenly they just stop. No errors or hang, they just simply stop mining using Cast XMR or XMR-STAK. Either use the "JJ restart script" you can find on reddit/google or write your own script. I initially tried the devcon.exe and and JJ restart script but found it doesn't work for me. I just wrote a script that reboots my computer every hour. 2 lines of code did it and my VEGA rig is now running stable. The 2 lines of code were: Sleep(360000)
Shutdown("restart")
That goes back to unreasonable amount of time spent to make a broken shit product work..... Cancer. Glad I decided NOT to buy that garbage. |

This is interesting. In theory how much hardware of xbox/ps4 is capable of mining compared it with curent gen gpus.
An Xbox One X has an RX series GPU thats slightly better than an RX 580. Basically, whatever an RX 580 can do, of course your not going to be able to flash VBIOS or do anything besides run it at whatever its stock speed is. So basically, whatever a stock RX 580 with no OC is capable of. Damn i was expecting more, so if he was capable for mining that will be about 25-30 mh/s right? How are you expecting more? Its really quite powerful considering the price of the xbox one X. 2560 core RX GPU is pretty powerful, better than any Desktop RX card. It will do slightly more than a stock RX 580 fresh out of the box will do, perhaps a slight bit more as it does have 2560 cores vs 2304 of the RX 580. I dunno, Id guess 25. Hard to say. |

XBOX ONE X is Polaris-based (a bit faster than RX 580).
The thing is, it only runs signed binaries and there's no UWP app on the Microsoft store for CryptoNight mining... it's a shame, since it's a very efficient & quiet machine. 175 watts max with vapor chamber cooling.
I don't even know if there are any hacking/homebrew attempts... 4+ years have passed and PS4/Xbone are still not hacked.
There are actual miners on the xbox store if anyone didnt know. Or there WERE, seems they took them down for xbox to fix them. Electronium: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/a-calc-etn-miner/9mst8s4l0pbqMonero: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/a-calc-xmr-monero-miner/9nj99pmdx6scThe whole issue would be getting access to the GPU or even publishing an app that makes full use of the GPU, xbox one x is really, really, locked down. I highly doubt they want people mining, afterall, microsoft will have to deal with any issues if the consols break under warranty. I cant imagine either Sony or MS would condone a real useful crypto mining app, though it would be genuinely useful on the Xbox One X as it actually has a higher end GPU. Then again they had folding@home running on the PS3 so its possible they might allow something like this eventually. I can only imagine what would happen if half of the xbox one and xbox one X's in the country started mining with a nice hash type app. Suddenly you cant find any old original xboxs for under $100 anymore lol People would suddenly have warehouses full of OG xbox ones. Isn't that just the Microsoft Store? It would be interesting to see, but there are plenty of apps on in the MS store that aren't run on an Xbox. Having seen how the older Xbox models perform with the newer gen of games, I find it hard to believe they would be worth mining with. As it is, I don't think you can really find them for under $100 even now, and thats without any mining component. Check the reviews on the electronium miner, it was posted in the elec reddit when it was working. It did work at one point on xbox. |
