on new egg new in the US it's not hard to find .

your way may work and i think your one the first one to do that beyond bitmian or bitmian used to do that or may still you actually get the gear if you want it but only after they start taking that contact off line but you offering it with no waiting if they pull out and want the gear, hope it works .

to me that's not really cloud mining like they do now, it's more a hosting service .

THanks you two

I looked up clamp meters, i don't have one and ordered a cheap one for 29 $

My PDU only shows two digests and if I go by what your saying that rig is about right or around 500 watts and does use less power on a 220 .

I gonna keep it plugged in that line and save some power, i think.


cya top .

it is ? I'm  about to buy one of the H81 BTC 1150 socket boards on new egg for 69 dollars new . if i could find one of the older H61 btc 1155 socket boards at a reasonable price i would buy one so i can keep using my Ivy bridge cpu, it's still very usable for mining

 i don't think there is one better for the 1150 cpu ?.

My PDU says I'm pulling 2 amps on a 220/240 line

does that mean I'm doing 480 watts on that rig if I plug it into a 120 line and use the kill o meter is says I'm doing 562 watts or lower.

I wish there was a kill o mstter in the US you could buy for 240 lines like the one you can buy and use on 120 lines in the US .
I saw there is one in the UK or over seas that works on 220/240 lines but i can't buy, they won't sell it to me because i live in the US.

I have plans to hock up a full house Kill o meter next year, one of the 300 dollar ones,
I don't like how the power company's reports  don't give enough detail for there Smart meter reports online.

nothing beats having your own gear, ever , if you host it or have in the your house, it's always yours.
you can resell it, it won't go out of business, it won't ripe you off. it won't miss lead you .

unlike cloud mining you don't know what there doing or using .

Ive always felt cloud mining was worth less form the first time i saw it till now, this confirms it even more.

Some did claim they made there cash back the first day  , how true that was no idea.!!!!That said it was possible the first Day or first few hours if not the first full day of Zcash but any days beyond the first day, your are better off  mining it with your own GPU farm .

Ive even seen complaints of others tiring to buy and trade zcash like BItcoins and how they lost a lot trying that.

if you know were to look to find the read me online this one is better and does more just got know how to use it but no Zcash support i see yet. this one is more reliable or can be if they would update it more like they said they were but no such luck . so your statement is very true unless they do more updates.

believe or not that's not really much power being used i was worried more about it dropping off to zero what that was doing pool side or how good that is or what dmg if any it might do, my power is free to some extent as well .I mean i help pay it because i want to i don't have to, it's only fair i use it so i should help some.

using nheqminer 4.0 something  ? .I tried that for a while even got more hash out of it for maybe a hour then for no reason i saw either the CPU or the GPU would stop hashing for a while then pick back i wasn't over heating no errors i could fine any place it just stopped from time to time after that hour using nheqminer 4.b something .to be honest now that i think about it might have been claymore miner doing it with his fee it may have been 90 seconds in to mining the fee he has does that it drops off to another pool but nothing like this was doing  but i can see why it would .

by using the CPU using to mine using software ?. .  what software  miners are you using ? .


try this if your using the nice hash miner that's what it sounds like your using ? .

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1670733.0

remember if there not tweak right  thy can use more power at stock settings and hash slower . and 80 Bronze is rated lower then a  80 + gold PSU .

he right i was doing about the same with a 850 watt gold PSU i was hitting 562 watts at the wall with three 470 and one 480 but mine are modded to use less power and hash more i can probable get more out of them at a cost by max over clocking and hope i don't make them to unstable , il play it safe i found my sweet spot.


or
 689 sol using 562 watts at the wall with only one 480 so if i had two ID be close mine are all 4gb cards so it would be close.

yea good question were do you live if one 470 4 gb cost a 1000 bucks if you mean US dollars . i can buy 5 480 with a 1000 bucks right now in the US @ 169 each or probable do even better by  shopping and looking, because it is black Friday and things are super cheap right now till Monday at most stores online or retail.

stock setting using claymore 8 i think is 150 h some thing per card


so use this

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/zec

to get a general idea type 150 , , my total farm does about 1.13 kh not h so i make about 13 to 14 $ a day that's nothing to some of the miners here . i may make more last time i check was a few hours ago the price was below 100 bucks per coin.

one 470 4gb might make 1.19 more or less a day , i looked wrong my bad that's a week 7 to 8 bucks,

mining  which coin and running them at stock setting may not work with some cards, most cards run better if you mode the bios then they use less power run faster produce less heat and run a lot smother.

as for how much two or one 470 can make a day depends on what coin you want to mine the software miner your gonna use .

right now and probably for a month or two the best coin to mine with 470's is zcash using them with a modded bios for best results.

internet speed don't matter much as long as it is stable and doesn't drop off a lot and try to run it over fiber, don't use wise less to mine with or you can but it's not as stable as a direct wire.

that's really cool to see some one still using S5 mind if i asked what a mount of coins you get with those now ? . I'm not asking to make fun i really want to know . !!!.

 set the environment variables

I don't set the environment variables with my R7 370's mining eth if i mine them, mostly i mine Zec but I had set them with my 7870 when i had it, if i wanted to mine ETH with that card and both cards have 2 gb, i guess Ive been lucky with the 370 .

next year it was put on hold when NV lowered there prices it seems AMD wants to be sure before they release it so they can deal a blow to NV other wise it could release sooner or not at all .
 may releases around the time they release there new zen CPU line if i find that post again.I'll link it . they changed it I see form your link .

i own  the 4gb version

mine does with claymore 8 164 H type that in to get some idea .. can't help beyond that haven't got the 8 gb version, it may be next .

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/zec

I'm running at 1.13 kh that make me about 13 to 14 $ a day depends on going price which is about right with out adding power cost etc. i do make that a mount of coins at 1.13 kh I'm kind of on the low end right now but building it slowly.

it really doesn't matter what card you buy . i was told this way buy the cheapest 470 480 you can then mode the bios .I'll go one far

here is a site  or post off the forums well worth the read for Zcash mining bios modding.

https://forum.z.cash/t/anoraks-amd-vbios-collection-optimized-settings-for-performance-power-saving/8347

Don't always follow card reviews some times they are one sided or some one paid some one to say bad or good things that are not always true so I  found out .


Sapphire Nitro+
XFX RX 470 4 GB
power color red dragon RX 480 4gb  is a nice card after you mode it. new egg has it on sell for a few more days at 169 .
MSI is not bad some say they are, there not i own two R7 370 they take a beating so the 470 cant be much worth off .


 i own one power color red dragon rx 480 seemed like it was junk till i started playing with it now it's my best card .
two Sapphires one is a nitro the other is a ref card
 
and a
XFX rx470 4gb with two fans , i bought at a local best buy I got a nice deal over buying it on line plus i wanted it that day so price may not have mattered to much that day . i was lucky that day .

for more help go here you might even get better reply's faster .
