What's weird is that I'm running 3 PowerColor and 1 Sapphire RX5700XT and noticed that the power draw on the sapphire is a lot less than the PowerColor.
1. PowerColor Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 (base model) - 110W
2. PowerColor Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 (base model) - 109W (fan continually ramps up 100% - temp only @ 49C)
3. PowerColor Red Devil Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 - 112W
4. SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 - 95W
It seems like buying Sapphire cards would theoretically be more power efficient based on my small data sampling.
Yes, same experience here. Next to blower 5700 xts Sapphire cards are the best. |

Do you guys get a lot of rejects on NiceHash? Are your rigs as stable as mining straight eth?

Smos to nhos.
I have not got round to trying nhos.
Have you tried nhos.
I was running NHOS for a few weeks on an old ASRock H81 Pro R2.0 and Intel 3250 with (4) 5700XT and I ended up burning out 1 GPU and couldn't get the OS to function properly after the fact. I also couldn't get NHOS to function with an ASUS TUF X570 Gaming PLUS WIFI System Board. The OS loaded and said that the cards were hashing, but just showed "pending" when I looked at the web console on Nice Hash. I would like to add that I ended up going to Simple Miner OS after reading this thread and like it. Still have to figure out how to hash on Nice Hash... I'm currently running on Ethermine. If you using SMOS Phoenix works with this command: -pool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.usa-new.nicehash.com:3353 -wal 12345.$rigName -rmode 2 -esm 3 -allpools 1 -estale 0 |

Of course it has a video output. It is a gaming GPU. The 6800XT will probably the most interesting from a cost/benefit perspective.
Are they making a mining specific GPU like the p106? |
|
|
|
|
If it has no video output that is a huge downside. Crypto mining becomes unprofitable a your resale value will be almost zero.

Why windows, when I had my rigs on widows it was a pain. SMOS is much washier for me to manage.

Great video do you have any stability issues? Make me want to try this with my 5700s, not sure if I could keep it running never had luck with rigs over 8 cards.

Looks like the wind has been pulled from the sails for DeFi. ETH blocks are down to about 2.5ETH in rewards and revenue is about 1/2 what it was 10 days ago, 1/3 what is was 20 days ago. Whoever bough a bunch of new hardware better be in it for the long haul.
I'm curious as to how hard RVN and ETC are going to get hit these next 2 weeks.
It was fun to watch traffic pickup on mining discords knowing this was a temporary bump. |

For example I bought one BTC 10,000 Oct put for $88. $88 is cheap protection and I buy a put every month since I mine a little over 1 btc a month worth of coins. In a collapse I will be somewhat protected for one months worth of income.
In addition I might sell some btc futures if things look bad or over heated. By selling the futures short you can earn some interest and lock in your income. This caps both your downside and upside.
But in this bull market puts are cheap and they don't limit your upside but you give up some protection vs selling short the futures.

I'm not changing or adding any gpu's. I have 136 gpus half were acquired 2016-2017 and half are 5700 XTs from 2019 and a few 5600 XTs from this year. Once eth is gone everything else will get crushed. Eth is 98% of Ethash algo, no current coin can adsorb that much power. I do buy ASICs but they are mostly BTC and I use futures and options to hedge and add some return.
That being said Eth devs are always late and who knows what they will do.

We currently have 170 MH/s at 730W with 6x 570 8GB. We were calculating the block finding possibility if we try to upgrade and solo mine. According to our calculations with the current status of the network (total hashrate and daily block times etc.) it becomes much more profitable with solo mining after around 700 MH/s with monthly chance of > 85% for finding a block. What do you think? If we don't need to be paid out every month, is it worth it to mine solo with 700 MH/s and work for 1 block a month? This brings in more than pool. Or do we miss some detail which will cause the calculations to fail. https://2cryptocalc.com/eth-mining-calculator?hashrate=700If this seems correct, why would anyone with a high hashrate join a pool? (Apart from going for a steady income) No way, you might go months without finding a block. I have 4.9gh/s and wouldn't think about solo mining eth. To solo mine I would need to find a least 3 blocks a day. Why solo mine when over a long enough periods its equal to pool mining. |

Nice good info. Can you skip powering the GPUS from the board and go straight to the PSU?
|
|

If your running 5700s you also need a splitter to split the 6 pin to 2x8 pin so that is 1 male 6 pin to male 6 pin plus a female 6 pin to 2x8 pin splitter per card.

I had 2 and returned both of them. The PSU power for the cards has to go trough the MOBO then from the MOBO to the cards, you have to buy a lot of cables. You also have to buy a cable to go from the white output to the CPU. I think its made for an antminer/server power supply to power everything. I didn't want to buy the cables so I can't tell you if its any good.
I would troubleshoot your asus MOBO instead you should be able to get it working. I've had a lot of those asus boards and no problems with them.

Hey guys what do you think about mining ETC ?
Im not reallly sure some people say its dead, other say it is mineable without problems.
Are anybody here mining ETC ? do you have problems mining it ?
Best Greetings
Bery
Do your own research and don't listen to what others are saying, go to coinmarketcap and you will see that ETC is even available on binance, you can sell every 24hrs of mining if you are too scared of its 51% attack, you don't have to hold. You can trade instantly on 1. Okex 2. Huobi 3. Binance and many more exchanges The 24HRS trading volume of ETC is over 500 Million dollars, don't listen to those that said it's profitable to mine because it's risky, it total nonsense The problem is depositing to an exchange to sell, last time I looked it took 2 days of conformations from the pool then 2 days of conformations from an exchange and that is if the exchange is allowing deposits and you can not deposit to Binance. |

The reason why they want to perform this reduction is because they know it won't affect security because right now ETHUSD is higher than say $80 bottom AND there is more per block in terms of fees, hence its much more profitable to mine.
So if they decrease the miner rewards they are pretty sure they will still have people mining it like they did when it traded at $80 per coin. However I wouldn't worry just yet, the EIP might not pass, but you never know. Generally they are always late on updates so even if its included in an upgrade it might take a while before it actually goes live.
I don't know enough to know if EIP-2878 has a chance to pass or not but even if it was 6 months out it would kill any incentive to buy new cards. Right now a $350 RX 5700 is 262 days to break even so you will never make your money back. A 75% reduction in earnings equates to a 10 cent a day profit, lol. https://whattomine.com/coins/151-eth-ethash?hr=55.0&p=123.0&fee=0.0&cost=0.1&hcost=350.0&commit=Calculate75% reduction: https://whattomine.com/coins/151-eth-ethash?hr=13.75&p=123.0&fee=0.0&cost=0.1&hcost=350.0&commit=Calculate |
