Hi Shyam,

I've focused on Eth primarily because its been the most profitable coin to mine on the RX 470's that I have. I have 9 rigs of varying sizes, from 4 card to 7 card rigs. I hash at 1000mh/s on Eth or around 9000sols/s on zcash. Good to see other Indian miners with multiple rigs what motherboards do you use?

Oh boy where do I start? EVGA is an Nvidia exclusive board partner, it does not make AMD cards. RX 470 cards are AMD chips made by their board partners, the link that you shared above is a Sapphire card, and it does not have international warranty. Infact, no AMD Board partner offers international warranty. Even if they did, do you know how EVGA international warranty works? You ship the product to Taiwan and bear the shipping costs incured. So no, its not even close to Local warranty.
And I regularly buy from Newegg, and If you had ever purchased from them you would know that their shipping works out cheaper than PPOBOX, and is insured.

I don't know why you are trying so hard to defend your lack of information/understanding, you are welcome to "Understand" what you want but please do not insinuate that I am "charging you too high a price" without knowing the costs involved. I think its best that you do some research and built a rig yourself, like I mentioned earlier in the thread its no rocket science, and even you should be able to do it.

Haha it appears you have never ordered from Newegg. Their shipping charges are through the roof for graphics cards, and the 1.5k ull end up saving is not worth forgoing Indian warranty for. This particular card will cost almost $220 landed, and thats for a 4GB version. In Altcoin mining graphics cards fans will burn out very fast, assume 6-8 months, so do not go for imports unless the price difference is substantial.

For one Rig, my setup charge for you is get me two RX 470 8GB cards for under $400

Hey mine what you want, totally your call. For Zcash Nvidia cards are better, so GTX 1060 3gb would be the most value for money option for Zcash as it does a little better than RX 470. Or if budget isnt an issue, even the GTX 1070 cards. For motherboard, you can look at the Biostar GT7 Z170 motherboard, perfect for 4 cards.

That's Amazon global easy buy price, and that's without warranty. You can however get these cards for around 16.5k with Indian warranty at your local IT hub ( SP Roard, Nehru Place, Lamington road etc). I don't get what you mean by "Selling used rigs for 25000" Did'nt you read the post? I make these on order, and you get bills for all components.
This listed price of 25K per card doesn't mean i'm giving you a 16,5k graphics card for 25k lol. Its an oversimplification of the cost of a system based on the number of cards in it. For example, a 4 Card Rig has a Motherboard, Ram, CPU, SSD, Power Supply, Wood/Aluminium Frame, Powered Risers, ethernet/wifi adapter and cable, Surge protector AND the 4 cards, assembled on to the frame. Then comes the software that it comes preloaded with, which is scripts for automatic mining, and resuming incase of power failure, for setting graphics card overclocks/underclocks on each boot depending on the coin being mined, Bios modifications for the graphics cards to increase their performance ( stock RX 470 does 21 mh/s in eth, bios modded RX 470 can do 28+ ).
Ofcource none of what I do is rocket science, and all related information is available on this very forum if you look hard. I just do it for you if you aren't that technically inclined, or don't have the time on your hands.

If you are purchasing a Gaming PC, then getting components that can be used for Altcoin mining is a good idea. But if your primary objective is to mine altcoins, and play some games then this configuration is WAAAAAY too high end. You could get a 7 card mining rig for the same price, which would be pretty capable in gaming as well. You do not need an i7 CPU, and the RX470 4GB is 95% the performance of the RX480 8GB for 70% of the price so get those instead.
Also you would need a full tower cabinet from a reputed brand like corsair as you mentioned, which has atleast 8 pci slot room.
ROI scales with the number of graphics cards that you have, so spending on other components for mining is a bad idea. Also, you can get Risers on amazon and ebay. i buy in bulk so I import from aliexpress.
Like I mentioned, if you are in Bangalore, you can get a mining setup from me, prebuilt.
If you are not in Bangalore, I am working on Enclosures for 5-7 card setups which are about the size of a PC Cabinet, and I will be able to ship systems in it. I will be posting pictures of that enclosure soon.

And its finally back to the old levels, ETH is highly profitable and ROI for these mining Rig's ( without factoring in resale value) is down to 8 and getting better by the day ...

I build and sell Mining Rigs in Bangalore, details in this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1703590
Pm me if interested.

Please do make a RX 470 4GB version if you can get it to cost 1000 CNY, that price point would make this an absolute steal. I would order at-least 5, right away.
BTW I would need these shipped to India, and there would be a hefty import duty on top for me, but I'd still want them.
In any case, great job guys, I wish you have made this 6-8 months ago before I put all my money into building rigs.

This is a brilliant little tool, I'm loving it so far. Great job man, i'm surprised I don't see a dedicated thread for this.

Are you sure guys? I would want to try the Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3 if all of you can get 6 RX 470/480 cards working on it. Also, on the MSI Carbon, you said you can get 6 RX 480 working. Can you please test if 7 work too?

Are you ... missing something here? This is an 8 mxm card machine that's doing 1880 sol/s in cash or 237 mh/s in eth. You are comparing it to a 5 card machine you built for 2k that gives you 800 sols/s I built a 7 card setup that gives me 1600 / 200 and cost me ~ $2300 here in India. This definitely works out cheaper, not to mention the ease of getting the entire rig pre-setup.
This is an enclosed cooled stackable low profile rig and it may not be ideal for home use but for someone running a farm this is ideal.

He Phil, once you have tested it, do let us know what the total landed cost of it was to you including customs clearance ad shipping etc.
This would definitely be cheaper than building a similar performing rig in my country (India) ... even with customs factored in.
This has come a long way from the initial scammy vibes that we were getting. I hope they start taking international orders soon.

Hey Phil did you finally put your Z170GT7's in PC Cases(towers) like you were planning to?


This is great news, Ill try to source those Gigabyte boards now.

A gold 750W is the minimum, I would recommend the Corsair CS750M, I have several x RX 470 rigs using that PSU.

You should have maybe read through the forum for compatibal boards before you purchased the components. None of the skylake boards (B150, H170 Z170) work with more thsn 5 GPU. Most will work with only 4. There is no solution, this is a hardware limitation. If you want to use more than 6 cards, use an older motherboard/processor/ram combo, like the several mentioned in the replies here.
If you purchased 6 cards, two are now useless and its best you return them.
If youre in bangalore I can buy them off of you.

Since banning several of his retarded threads wasnt enough to get the message across, I vote to ban this account. If he pops up again with a different account peddling his stolen shit, we can ban that account as well, no biggie. But scum like this needs to be purged periodically.

Like Watershin said, you need to be clear on what you are going to be mining, different hardware is more suited to different coins.
AMD Cards do better in some coins, NVIDIA cards are better in others, some coins do not care about CPU speed, some like Zcash do etc.

Currently the most profitable is ETH and on some days Zcash which both run well on similar hardware.
For $1000 you can setup a 5 GPU rig. Buy the GPU Shack 5 GPU bundle for $149, get 5 EX 470's for$160 each, and a 750W Gold PSU.
Fashion a frame out of scrap, install Windows 10 on the GPU Shack SSD, underclock and undervolt the cards to run them stable on the 750W PSU.
Several posts here in the forums detailing how you can do that.

Actually work flawlessly with 7 RX 470 cards on 1x16 risers, i have two such rigs working for two months. Just set all PCI to Gen 1, Disable onboard Video and Audio, and make sure u arent using the mPCI slot for SSD as that disables the last two slots.
