21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is it feasible creating a mining farm in an apartment? on: June 22, 2017, 07:08:11 PM
Wow stop it guys. Everyone is suggesting as if it is really possible even though he can get rid of electrical mess. But what about the heating and high decibel sounds that will produced during noise. Do you really think nobody will complain about you for being so much noisy. The noise of miners are so heavy you couldn't really bear that without empty space. The heat is always dangerous no matter how it produces. If you read few of the article around the internet then you can see how bad heat was even when people were mining into non residence zone and having a pretty good set up. It is mandatory to have good quality of ventilation system in place to keep everything smoothly running.

Lol you are a really funny guy. I live in Montreal Canada (city with over 4 mil people). I live in a duplex and less than 4 inches away is the next building on each side. I am currently running 4 S9 and 1 T9 in my room and i moved my bed into the living room. Also bought 7 1080 and going to run those in the same room. I have 1 12k btu a/c in the windows (planning on getting another one for when the heats gets higher) and i also have 2 S9 and my T9 that are in isolated ducts and have their exhaust go directly outside. (which causes a negative pressure but etc etc.)

TL;DR I have a 100A apartment and I am running 4 S9 and 1 T9 and planning to run some gpu miners. So it is very possible.

I'm currently facing a 2,000W consumption, and have no idea why.
5 x 480 RS; ASRock H81 Pro BTC; Intel Celeron G1840; 4 GB RAM.
OS: Win 10; Claymore.
PSU is a (probably?) pretty outdated Club 3D 1200W from 2011. Might a new one help?
Or are you aware of any other known issues with the said system?

Becoming kind of desperate. Undecided

Edit:
Consumption is about 1,800 with ethOS; but that's not overwhelming either.

Is your power supply bronze?
It's silver.

A 1200w silver power supply shouldn't be able to take more than 1500-1600w at the wall. 1800w... damn that power supply is op or something else is at play.

Hi,
   if you are planning on mining ether you should go down the 6GB route. And to keep as much of resell value as possible, again 6GB
 Smiley

when the 3GB will not be userfull  with Ethereum ?

Since the 280x time aka already past. Some will say you can still mine with parallel load etc etc but just get the 6gb and be ready for the future

Taking into account the fees (Either Claymore's or Nicehash's), one of the best solutions might be to mine with GG on Ethermine :-). No devfee and low pool fee. Just an idea...
But excavator doesn't have any devfee, does it?

No, but you can't use it in any pool. If you use it in Nicehash you'll pay a high service fee.

Mind elaborating why using excavator on nicehash has a really high service fee???

https://www.nicehash.com/?p=faq

Code:
Sellers:
Fee for all nicehash-wallet mining payments (regardless of size) is 2%.
Fee for payments with unpaid balances, greater than 0.1 BTC to external-wallet is 3%.
Fee for payments with unpaid balances, greater than 0.01 BTC to external-wallet is 4%.


Well from that i see I am in the 4% category... that is quite high indeed

Hi, i also have 3 gtx 1080 founders edition and i have some questions:
1: all 3 gpu's are currently running at temperature 82 c and they make about 9$ per day, Is the temperature 82 ok ?
2: if i keep them running 24h, aprox how long will they last ?
3: does overclocking has effect on how long the card will last ?
Thank you for help

82c is pretty high. I would recommend undervolting to lower that to 70c at least. 60c-65c is best.
At 82c the cards will last a year maybe.
Not true. 82C is a perfectly safe temp for modern cards

82c is perfectly fine for modern cards that is 100% true. But we don't use them in regular ways... We push them at max for 24/7 for a few months at a time. And for that kind of treatment 82c is high. 70c is normally the max you would want to do 24/7. 60-65 is best, me personally I prefer to try and keep them 55-60 but that's my personal preference.

Would it be possible to add skein to the nicehash miner?

Thanks

Hi, still didn't answer if they are 4gb or 8gb...
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining on a Geforce 1080 on: June 20, 2017, 03:49:10 PM
Not sure if he is talking about the one on the top or the one in the bottom (if its even a gpu??)
90% is a little high on the gpu fans but it's still ok. Are your case fans running at max? Those 12v case fans are made to run at max for 3-5 years easy. (I still have my stock case fans from my first coolermaster case from 2006 those fans have been running at max for 11 years...) Or if your case airflow is bad maybe changing the fans to better fans would be a good idea. (I like the cougar fans, 16dba, 65 cfm and high static pressure designed for long life)
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining on a Geforce 1080 on: June 20, 2017, 03:22:23 PM
@business360 remove your fan speed from automatic to manual and put it at 75% that also should help.

Hi, are these the 4GB or 8GB versions? Also how much for 7 gpu's and how much for a full 6 gpu rig? I live in Canada, Montreal

Thanks

Thank you, appreciate your help. I run ccminer lbry with default settings, no overclocking of gpu. I didn't see any settings for temp, How can i lower the temperature ? Thx in advance!

Hi, what os are you using? If it's windows you can use msi afterburner to do the undervolting. (It's an all in 1 software (you just can't modify the gpu's bios in there)
Linux sadly i don't know them yet XD
I'm using 7 -64 bit.
Thanks for help. Its nice to see people like you helping others Smiley

Hey, i got a guy helping me and i am helping you. So all is well. Like i said on windows 7 you can easily use the msi afterburner to fine tune your gpu without doing bios mods. Bios mods can help further but when just getting started the msi afterburner works well and is user friendly. Just do the modifications little by little. but you shouls be able to get -50mv easily

Hi, I can currently get a 1080 for 500usd brand new. Which I am planning on building a 7 gpu rig with them. what OS/miner should i use? I was initialy planning on using simplemining but for maximum profitability I should be mining Skein which isn't in there. So what should i mine?

P.S. I was thinking initially of getting 7 1070 but for 70usd and you get a 1080 which will have a higher resale value... So i am not really sure which path i should walk.

If you are looking strictly at Ethereum mining then go with the 1070's.  All other mining I would go with the 1080's as you get better hashrate for about a better cost ratio and the resale will likely be much higher.

I'm currently running 7-1080's and 1 1080Ti and make on average about .023 BTC per day doing auto-exchange at Zpool either with their built in multialgo or using Multipoolminer.  You might be able to do better on specific coins, but only if you are willing to deal with trading them on the exchange yourself.  Life for example when Digibyte spiked I was pulling in about $120/day for all my rigs, but that was only if I dumped the coins at the high point.   You have to decide if you're taking your profits today or holding the coins you mine until the time is right for them.

Here is example hashrates for a 1080:  This is a single 1080 Zotac AMP edition

https://i.imgur.com/hwuXWIT.png

This is my 5 - 1080 rig - 2 Zotac Amp Extreme Edition, 2 ROG Strix, and an EVGA 1080

https://i.imgur.com/ghunKhp.png

There is quite a bit of variability in what hash rates you'll get out of each cards including power draw.  I notice those Zotac Amp Extreme Edition pull about 15% more hash, but also consume like 50W more in power.  The 1080Ti gives roughly about 40% more hashrate for about 25% more power consumption and 30-50% more cost. You have to decide if that is worth it to you.

Pure ethereum mining I'm seeing roughly like 20-25Mh per 1080 usually with no overclocking and setting a Power limit of 80%.  Setting power limit to 100% gives like 3% more hash, but consumes like 20% more power.


Damn this is perfect and exactly what i was looking for thank you so much XD
Can you elaborate more? As to what OS and miner you use to mine with those 1080?
Also i wasn't planning on mining ethereum but more like you said a multi algorithm on zpool or something.

I received and setup 1 of the 2 drop-in's and it is pretty sweet. I am still waiting for the pcie risers from amazon but once those arrive i should be golden.

Thanks Rich

Complicated fund transfer. I did the payment on the site (2806$ usd) and it went through but is put on hold by paypal for a week (which is normal) He wanted me to release the shipping portion which i didn't see it as an option but only to release the full amount. After a while he decided to refund the amount and for me to place an order again. But to complicated for nothing.
Will try to get some gpu and mine with those instead
