Replied, still looking for a cube or two!

So I received my Seasonic ATX12V / EPS12V 660 Power Supply SS-660XP2 and it does not power on . .  |

Is it possible to run amd And NVIDIA cards on the same rig ?
Yes - but in general the machine will end up being somewhat less stable than running a "pure" rig one way or the other. Easy to do on Windows 7 or 10 (almost the ONLY think Windows does better than LINUX), can be done under LINUX but the installation of drivers is a bit more complicated. So if I have a rig with 5x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X DirectX 12 100363VX-3L 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X WITH BOOST (UEFI) Video Card I want to add another card to this rig, I am planning to mine zcash with it --- I want to add the most effective card to this rig, what would everyone suggest? |

If you are setting up a GPU (Graphic Card) mining rig do they have to be the same GPU (Graphic Card)
Can someone answer this question for me?
No, they do not need to be the same card. Same MODEL of card will tend to be more stable though - as in run all R9 290, or all RX 470, etc, instead of mix-and-match. why is that the case? |

Hi, there is a problem with sgminer/5.5.1-b, pool switching is not working, after auto or manual switch miner doesnt produce accepted shares, need to restart, all the newer version miners affected! Is there a link to burn sgminer/4.9.3 on the sd card, as it seems fine.
I have this issue as well. Payout for 1 miner seems very low after a switch, a restart fixes it. burning new image file fixes this issue Can you elaborate on this? |

Is there any conflict to run Nvidia / amd cards on the same rig?

The MSI looks like a good deal ... just wondering if the single fan is enough for mining. that's been my worry too |

How much are you looking to spend on the cube or a mini? ...and the 11GH is real, yea it's a prototype but sure as hell is real. (it's 10.8 GH per spec but who's counting) Videos and Pics to come soon  Thanks! Not much more than their retail especially since they have a new batch coming out mid may, I'd like to acquire 2 more cubes so I could hopefully ROI before the ibelink crushes dash lol |

as i said AT THE MOMENT OF WRITING , stongest card providing HIGHER HASH RATE (no matter the power consumption) is RADEON PRO DUO ... 900 to 1100 hashes /s depending on the oc you apply ... of course the higher the hash rates the more inefficient it is... at 900 hashes is a bit less efficient than nvidia cards (4.5 w for each hash)
Per that number the TI only uses 156 w per hash? |

I've been contemplating the same thing,
My garage has no windows, garage door, and a door. I guess this is similar to OP.
Virginia gets pretty hot and humid, how would I create a proper setup?
It seems I'll have to run a commercial style AC unit and a couple large fans to circulate air.
I am in NJ humidity lasts 3-4 months. Been garage mining since 2012 no rusting yet. most of the time the hot gear solves all humidity issues. A/c only works if power is dirt cheap . otherwise it is too costly. I have a back door that i open 3 to 4 months a year. when it is hot I scale mining done when it is cold I scale mining up. i.e. 2.5 kwatts june 1 to Sept 30 5 kwatts October 1 to May 31 The door is essentially my front door, I don't know if I really have an option other than cracking garage door/ opening and putting an intake and exhaust fan? What about inclement weather? |

how's shipping time with them and thanks for the link I guess I'm just comfortable with the ATX having not dealt with that setup before. What PSU of theirs would you recommend for a L3+ as I have one on the way or would you just rec the bitmain option |

Bronze rated. Thumbs Down.
You don't have much of a load, but it will be on 24/7 for months or years. Gold rated minimum, platinum recommend.
Can you elaborate on why? States 5 year warranty? It looks like you already received some good recommendations, but here are the specs on the PSU you are looking at. https://plugloadsolutions.com/psu_reports/CORSAIR_RPS0063%20(CP-9020120)(CX450)_450W_ECOS%204818_Report.pdf A bronze rated psu is at the low end of the 80% efficiency certification. It would be fine for a home computer that runs 3 to 6 hours a day without much of a load. We are running mining equipment at full throttle 24/7 for months or even years at a time. This would be considered enterprise duty. The difference between you input wattage and output wattage goes to heat generation. SO the higher efficiency the smaller difference in input and output watts the smaller the heat generation from the PSU. We already have a ASIC or GPU that in the process is very efficient at converting the input watts to heat while hashing. Some people literally heat their house in the winter with their miners. If the PSU is getting hot, then the connectors to the PSU are getting hot. Like I have seen the connectors go to 135, 145, 150+ degrees F, and start to smoke and then you have a burnt connector. The hotter a connector gets the higher its resistance to the flow of current, and it gets hotter and hotter, etc. Most down time on miners is PSU related. The ASIC is designed for 24/7 operation. The standard PSU is not. The higher the efficiency and if you load is in the range of peak efficiency the less stress on your PSU even running it 24/7. A server PSU is designed to run 24/7. Obviously you load will be light with the 2 300 Mh/s Baikal cubes. You did state in the OP "Best/Most efficient power supply" Thank you for all of that input, based off everyones information provided I've decided to use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VV56U8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Thanks everyone for posting great info here, I'm interested in all of this but specifically my question is that I have one spot open on a 6 card rig (currently only 5 cards on it) and I want to use the most powerful zcash hashing card on it even if ROI is a little longer. However if it's obviously not worth it then I want the card that's the best choice.
I pay 14c kwh

Is there any real difference when adding the add2psu as opposed to just having the PSU x2 activate simultaneously? |

At stock a R9 280X pulls ~250 watts each and a GTX 1080 Ti is also pulling ~250 watts. That's 1500 watts of juice right there from your GPUs alone. You can undervolt, reduce the power limit % etc, but you still will need a beefy PSU to handle those 6 GPUS. You also need to make sure you have enough PCIE connectors since the GTX 1080 Ti uses 2 and at least some (maybe all) R9 280Xs use 2 connectors as well.
So then I should simply run 2 PSU? like 2 of the link I posted in OP? |
