A realistic answer...

My 1070's do much better than my RX580's.. it made sense when the RX580's were $300+/-... now that they are $600+, after power costs, its not going to make a ton on NH. Properly flashed, they might do well on Ethermine or similar pool running Clamore.

However...

Nicehash is very profitable. The feels are no worse than any pool, especially if you deposit your BTC to coinbase, which is free.

I run 25 GPU's to ethermine and back to Nicehash.... and Nicehash is always about $22+ a day more profitable for the same amount of of power burned.

Minergate versus Nicehash...

The truth? Minergate just doesn't add up.. something is "off"... my opinion of course.

I started out with minergate about a month ago... 2 I7's, 1 I5, and a Ryzen 1700 plus a 1070, 1080 and an RX580

4 days of eth & monero got me approx $7.10

I turned the GPU's alone (no cpu's being used on nicehash) and did the same amount in about a day an a half on Nicehash. Nicehash outperformed minergate so much that I invested in 2 rigs, and am now pulling $25+ a day out of nicehash.

Something is just off... same set up, same electricity being used... completely different results. Its almost like my set up on minergate had some hashing power siphoned off.. like I was running 70% versus 100% of my hashrate being paid for on nicehash.

Another thing to consider is that Minergate built/owns?/is affiliated with changelly, their exchange, wherein you can exchange your altcoin for others, or btc... there is of course a fee. By the time you add up these fees, the miner gate pool fees, etc.. the 4% I pay nicehash to put my btc in my non nicehash wallet is bargain.

Lastly... as far as all of my computers are concerned? Minergate is a virus.. and it did constantly have to be uninstalled, and reuploaded to work. On one computer, it refuses to uninstall.. and I had to literally quarantine it finally. Minergate would start mining on my laptop, and I would have to manually make it stop. It did this several times. Nicehash? Not even a blip.. if you have nvidia cards, its was a simple download, benchmark, set up your wallet and start the miner.

I appreciate the info... however, I am seeing online that this particular motherboard is only supporting SSD in the M.2 slot. A lot of folks are having issues getting a 2.3 SATA 3 SSD drive to work, plugged into a sata port. Do you have this board?

thanks for the response

There is no "support" section for SSD, just ram and cpu. I've tried two 2.5 SSD SATA 3 drives, and the bios will not even detect them. I can't download windows, as it will not recognize the SSD. I am starting to think it will only support m.2 ssd

What are you using for yours? You have this MB?

Hello... setting up my new rig, and this motherboard is not detecting my SSD. After reading deeper, I am seeing some folks say this Mobo only supports M2 SSD... is this the case? Gigabyte site is not forthcoming on supported SSD types..

Not crazy at all! Thanks for the advice...

I did do this.. however, this particular mining board has a small power button on the mobo. as a last resort after hours of trying everything, I tried that too on the correct pins.

I am going to try a new gigabyte Mobo for this case and see if it works. Just awaiting it in the mail.. I think I may return the Asrock board to amazon.

Initial configuration was a GPU in the x16 slot directly... no dice.

3. Mobo has on/off power switch and reset switch, no dice for anything, including cpu fan. Zero.. except for "click" from PSU

4. I did follow instructions and reset cmos with jumper cap... no change.

I tried different cpu.. different ram... moving ram to 2nd slot.. using 2 ram cards.. and every combination of cable and PSU, including trying two seperate brand new EVGA gold class g2 PSU's... nothing would get any reaction from the board, except "click". Thus the hair pulling! 

CPU pins are all fine... I plugged in 8 pin with evga "cpu" marked 4 + 4 cable.. thanks!

RAM is 2400 as well... but good to know!

There is only the one GPU plugged in, for the 16 slot... however, with or without that plugged in, the board will not power up. The cpu fan will not run.. nothing.

Starting to think the board is bad...

The Asrock pdf for this board mentions those CPU's.. I will post link to the MoBo pdf.

I wasn't sure if the board would not boot up due to a CPU not being skylake or kabylake?

I was using a 7th gen 1151 I3 7100.. I am lost past that, as I am really new to rig building. I spent weeks reading, wathcihg videos, reading this forum,e tc.. before settling on the equipment. I was very careful in construction.. but was not educated enough to diagnose this.

Thank you for the help..

No fan spinning on cpu... only thing that happens is a slight "click" from the PSU

None of the risers are GPU's are powered. Only PSU cables connected are as per instructions for this board... 2x molex 4 pins.. 1 8 pin cpu.. 1 24 pin... and 1 SATA...

PSU tested out ok.. powers up under 2 pin tester.

Only possible thing I can figure is that the motherboard instructions also say "skylake" or Kaby Lake" cpu... I was using a I3 7100. I have no idea if that is "Kaby lake" or "sky lake" compatible. Thoughts?

Hello all.. any help would be appreciated.. I've tried everything, and am getting nowhere..

I have the mining board H110 BTC+, and have it set up with evga 1300 G2. I have followed the mining set up PDF, and installed the following:

CPU I3 7100
8 gb RAM
PSU evga 1300 G2
5 GTX 1070's on powered risers.

Problem is, the board will not boot. I ran power as directed to Molex pins.. 8 pin board ATX, 24 pin, and board SATA as illustrated in PDF.

I have swapped out CPU's.. I have changed RAM, RAM slots, I have tested PSU.. but when you hit the small power button on the MoBo, you hear a small click from the PSU, and nothing. Only sign that there is power is small yellow light blinking on ethernet cable housing.

There is no sign of a short.. or other issue. The board doesn't so anything... thoughts?
