You were exactly right.  After 110 minutes it started submitting.  This is what I see poolside after roughly 17 hours with a 5950X with about a 17% OC water cooled:





So a little bit below 4 MH/s pool side, which seems consistent with what I see locally:



I have another rig with a 5800 in it and a 3rd one with a 11900K in it.  Both of those are also water cooled.  The 11900K is a power pig through, so it might not be worth having it mine.

Phil, that's a good price for that 3090.  I have a pair of them (3987 ftw3) in my 11900K rig, and they are real work horses for ETH.  Must resists making you an offer.  lol

Figured I'd give it a try on my 5950X.  Miner is still tuning, but after about 20 minutes, this is what I see:



I'm mining to zergpool  How long before I should start seeing stats here:

I figured that after 20 minutes, I would start seeing something...

I really like your initial suggestion and that keeps things simple.

Thanks!

What would you charge someone to cover the cost of running a GPU mining rig at your place?

This fee should cover basic maintenance, upkeep and profit switching, cost for management software (HiveOS, Awesome Miner, etc).

And should this fee include electricity or would you make that a separate fee?

I'm not looking to do this on a large scale, just running a rig or two for a friend that is pretty computer illiterate, and doesn't have the space to do it himself.

Not seeing the per GPU efficiency.  Do I need to enable that somewhere before it will show up?

Is Ethermine.org supported and does that pool support stale shares?

Looks very promising.  Any ETA on when API support will be added?  I think Patrik is waiting on that before adding this miner to Awesome Miner.

I'll second adding native support for Team Black Miner.

I have a handful of LHR EVGA cards on Raven as follows:





Clocks/power set as follows:



The 3080Ti XC doesn't perform nearly as good as the FTW3's and requires a negative offset on the memory to even reach 50 MH/s.  Go figure...

I have my 3080Ti's on Raven.

2 x EVGA 12G-P5-3967-KR FTW3 Ultra's that do 57-59 MH/s @ 299 Watts.  Core 0, Mem +900, PL 75%

1 x EVGA 12G-P5-3958-KR XC3 Ultra Hybrid that does 50 MH/s @ 312 Watts.  Core 0, Mem -502, PL 90%

Not sure why the XC3 performs so much worse than the FTW3's, but that's the best I can do.  OC'ing memory on the XC3 makes it perform worse and if I drop power below 90%, hash rate starts falling off a cliff.

I just slap a heatsink and a fan on the back of my 3090's.



Keep memory temps tolerable, but on extremely hot days (ambient pushing 100F), they still get a little toasty:

Should I be worried about my holdings on Coinbase?

It looks like it only (potentially) impact folks that use 2FA over SMS as the hack involves SIM swapping to intercept SMS messages.  In other words, if you use Google Authenticator when logging into CB, you should be ok.

For the initially released 3060's, yes.

I installed a dedicated sub-panel and ran 30A 240V breakers from it to each of those PDUs using 10# wire in conduit.

I used 10# or 12# C13 - C14 cables depending on the power draw from each rig.

I like doing it right the first time.

New they run $300 - $500 I'm sure, maybe even more, as the quality is top notch.  Probably some business/datacenter relocating or something and they just dumped all the current/old stuff to some re-seller.

Or you could get something like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255001658849?hash=item3b5f4885e1:g:9HQAAOSwM4JgtpB4

It has a built in web server that will allow you to monitor total power consumption or at the individual plug level.  You can also turn power on and off at each outlet.  If you have more than a few rigs and they are all in the same room/shelf, this is the way to go.

They also make larger ones:

I have several of both types and they are great.

I managed to pick up 16 RX5700 XT's back in November/December before prices went all crazy.  I managed to pick up all of them for between $300 and $400.  Definitely took some tweaking to get them close to 57MH/s and low power (BIOS mod/memory strap).  They are not quite as efficient as my 3000 series, but way better than my 1000 series that have all been sold at this point.

The AMD 6000 series I don't think will ever be really good for ETH given the Infinity Cache memory design...

Yeah, but you only get 35 kWh per day and I sure as hell would not want to live there given all the other restrictions.

What make/model laptop is that?

I too much prefer ground mounted arrays and it makes it a lot easier to maintain (snow removal, washing, replacing micro inverters if you have those).

A buddy of mine stopped by the other day with his drone toy, so I had him take an areal picture of my arrays:



So the 1st array is mounted on top of my shop building because it was there already and doesn't have to steep of a pitch, and is metal.  It is not exactly South, but pretty close.  All the ground mounted arrays are pointed due south.  The array in front doubles as an equipment storage shed.

Here's a chart of my solar production so far this month relative to the power consumed by my rigs and the rest of the household:



The power company sends me a report each Monday showing the daily kWh was delivered from the Grid, what I returned to the Grid, and what the net of that was.

Per the table above, my net through the 12th of this month, was that I produced 922 kWh of excess solar energy that was returned to the grid that will show up on my account as a bank of kWh.

The rest of my household currently consume about the same amount of power as my miners.  Come summer when the A/C will be running constantly, household consumption will go up, but so will solar production since the days are longer and the sun is higher in the sky.  So it evens out.

My mining rigs only consume about 86 kWh daily on average.  These guys:



My plan is to keep snagging up RTX 3000 series GPUs until my total household consumption matches what I produce from my solar arrays.
