Smart plugs are a nice way to restart machine remotely or monitor how it is runnig. I use tplink hs110.

Looked like they were getting DDoSed yesterday so I switched to Flypool. Just switched back to Nanopool now. Will let you know what I see.

I have few rx470 from xfx, the single fan ones, and with 1500 straps bios mod and clocks: 1200/1000mv 1750/1000mv they are doing 173h/s at 127W from the wall measured with smart plug. This is with V8 and -i 4 setting. This xfx model is the cheapest but it's very silent, running at 70C with 35% fan speed, the room temp is 25C. The nice thing about them is dual bios

You only need one dummy per rig, not one per card;
It's a consistent behaviour for the rx card, my R9 / 79xx do not behave like this, regardless of the OS

I have MSI Z170A krait gaming 3x with 7 PCie , but I can't run more than 4 GPU 

I don't have fury's or nano's to play with but after what I have seen with hawaii and latest claymore I don't need to see any videos...

Wow ... "stupid power hungry", any data about your judgment ?
as I said, mine are doing 225-230 H/s with a 120W restriction (1.9 H/W)
If your RX 480 can achieve the 180 H/s it seems they do with 95W at wall (not on GPU-Z), then RX 480 and Fury will have the same efficiency. And even with that, I'll pick the Fury for the higher perf.

I don't know why people are bashing R9 Fury, they are really way cheaper now.
In my country a Custom RX480 8G and Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X are sold the same price.

As you said, may the PCI-E connectors need can be an argument if your PSU don't have enough.
But IMHO, the power consumption of a Fury is not an argument to bash them

Set Max TOLUD = 3,5 Gb instead Auto in BIOS.

Power consumption ?
Because a good custom RX 480 8G are the same price that R9 Fury

If I remove the power limit and let the card go for 200W, they are hashing to 245-265 H/s depending of the cards
R9 Fury are also often better in others algo (32MH/s ETH + 800 SC at stock without powerlimit)

I'm seeing this happen on one of my rigs with 4x RX470 4GB GPUs. Rebooting does nothing. Stock vBIOS, no overclocking. Win8.1

RX470-4GB --> 171H/s
draw 210W from the wall.
single gpu with intel core i3.
im sure if i put 5 gpus it will reduced a bit.

470 is more efficient at this time.

Thanks man appreciate it will test it out and report back with Version 6! I've found over the last 3-4 versions, it actually performs better at lower settings per say, once you hit that sweet spot mine jumped a little which was 1120/890-900 core and 2000/890-900ish mem settings, even by dropping by 10mv it increased hash rate almost as if it was getting less power so the %'s of the card were having to perform at a higher rate, sounds weird but testing shows it made a difference.

Marvell1 - I haven't looked into exact costs here but electrician friends said it could cost $10-20k for a home upgrade for what I want to run here, I will be renting space from a friend for $100-200/month

Using this stuff from local hardware store I found as the base, and cut up a few pieces of square pipe to make a cross bracket the cards sit on

Marvell1 - Very expensive here to upgrade house power to what's called 3 Phase, generally only available in industrial areas unless you pay big $$ for it, overpriced and would blow ROI way out the window.  I'll be setting up Phase 2 and 3 at a friends workshop, already has 3 phase power available (240 amp's available standard) which will house up to about 40+ rigs without interfering with their normal work duties).

Mzie - Cheers hopefully it's helping people along the way as well, not everyone has been mining for a long time so hoping to help people save time and less mistakes along the way.

Thanks guys to summarise, right now I'm mining Zcash with each RX480 pulling around 110H/s (miner hashrates on the PC itself spikes between 105-130ish) average showing on the mining pool, this is of a period over 24-48 hours, so it's stable and accurate.  It's generating me just over 10% per month ROI at these figures.

Here in Australia I am paying about 17 cents US per KW at current exchange rate (I use US cents as all coins mined earnings are in USD basically).  so this is around 10% ROI after electricity costs which is pretty sweet.  I am also a forex trader and at 5% a month which I am getting give or take per month, I can retire in 4-5 years, so these farms are another means of passive income when the markets are bad trading wise such as last week with the election.

mettalmag specifically - I've ordered 3 of these to test - http://www.ebay.com/itm/0ship-HDMI-EDID-DDC-Plug-Headless-Linux-Windows-Mac1920x1200-emulator-dummy-USA-/191567271934?hash=item2c9a4c97fe:g:bcgAAOSw~OdVb-7m

from what I can see they act as a dummy monitor plugged into the HDMI slot, meaning your PC will boot up fine on a power outage/power cycle, the biggest issue with the RX480's, can't tell other cards cause I only have these, but generally without a monitor plugged in, they will not boot past bios, almost like a safety thing.  I even tried just plugging a HDMI cable in not connected to a monitor, but it didn't work.  I am working on this because my Phase 2 and 3 (30-40 rigs each) will be remote to me, about 30 minutes drive away so I don't want to be driving out everytime there is a small issue haha.

I have my rigs set to power on/boot into windows 10, startup batch files to run my miner files and in the config files I have my voltages set for memory and core, this way even if they restart/shutdown and sometimes reset to "factory" settings, my bios mod is factory, they come back at 1000 mv's per card, but the first miner startup they are then set to correct mv settings again

I'll go into this more in future videos but something to think about.

When you switch pools, difficulty starts off low and then ramps up.
Switch to mining at flypool and you'll probably get considerably better returns.
