Vega won't be cheap - it's aimed to be AMD's new "HIGH END" card line, slotting in ABOVE the existing RX 580 at the Vega LOW end, and aiming for the 1080 Ti and the Titan X Pascal on the top end.
I'd guess you won't see Vega cards under $300 at all and likely $400+ range for all of them for the first year or so they exist.
Keep in mind that VEGA is specifically AMD's "next generation upgrade to the Fury" line HBM memory and all.
Any good new recent info on the vega / links? Whats an eta on release? |

#1. You said you had a 200 amp panel, is that a panel dedicate for the rigs, or your whole house? If it's a dedicated panel for rigs, then its simply 200*240*0.8 = 38,400 watts, or half that for 120v. #2. You are gunna need an intake/outtake. Garage door is the obvious intake, using louvers. There are many examples around the forums. Definitely check out @yun9999's thread. I would turn the door to the outside (i don't see it in the pictures, but I believe you said one exists) into an exhaust. This would be easiest if it is a door you never have to use. You could mount a large fan in the top half of the doorway. What you'll need for fan size will be determined by how many rigs you have, and the ambient temp. Do you live in a hot area or no? That indented area may be fine for the time being. If you scaled enough I may worry that it is not close enough to the exhaust (although, again, i don't see the door, so i'm not sure). With 5 rigs i'm sure its fine. 3. The best racks for looks are definitely 42U server cabinets, but you'll pay up for them for sure. Metal wire shelving units that many miners use are much more cost effective, but are ugly and cable management can be difficult. I've also been told the server cabinets are better for cooling, I can't say from experience, but it would make sense to me. Phil, feel free to correct me on anything  its for the whole house, so I'm thinking I could cut it in half to dedicate to mining? Thanks for the input please review this http://imgur.com/Nij8gSvI live in a relatively hot and relatively humid area (virginia) and I pay 14c kwh so I need the setup to be efficient as my electric is not cheap https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816228172&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Server+Racks%2FCabinets-_-N82E16816228172&gclid=Cj0KEQjwrsDIBRDX3JCunOrr_YYBEiQAifH1Fl9raOwfOqCvS1kjQYIZ308iBLQgzYc9LdZVj1TX0i0aArSs8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds I would never profit a dime with racks this expensive! lol I'll definitely opt for the metal wire shelves xD |

Looking it over.
Okay you have an interior door where does it lead to?
Interior door leads to the basement hallway connected to my bedroom one way and stairs the other I put info above. I think you can feed cooler air in via that door. but you need a window for an exhaust vet in the garage. cool air in basement >>> garage door >>>>> miners >>>> exhaust vent So here is my base layout of the garage, if that is the case I would have to run miners right next to that door in order for that airflow concept to be efficient? What do you think based off that floor plan? |

What about a nice nvidia to continue zcash? or Simply an rx470 4gb and turn this into an ETH rig |

OP and all others in this thread
First off this is an awesome application of the concept I've been inspired to do and a ton of awesome info in here
I'd like to ask if you all would be willing to offer some input on my build (same project but not as impressive as this one xD)
Currently I am about to take the big leap and finalize the blueprints and am seeking all info and ideas

I managed to get a Baikal Quad Cube on April the 26th. Just managed to ask baikal on skype at the right time they came online, luckily enough I live in the same timezone as Shenzen which helped. They quoted $3200USD via bank transfer, or 3.09btc (about $3900 for that days rates). The difference was quoted due to the lower price on bitcoin in China. I sucked it up and paid in bitcoin as I'm not especially familiar with or trusting of Swift payments and banking transperancy. They told me it would be shipped on May the 12th, but it was actually shipped on Friday the 5th and arrived today, Monday the 8th. I live in Perth, Australia. This is my first ASIC, though I do some nicehash mining with nvidia GPUs. The PSU i chose is a Silverstone 650watt, with 80Plus Gold rating. First thing I did was replace the baikal fans with some glowy Corsair ones, just for a little pizazz as I was pretty excited waiting for this. The fans are powered by the PSU, rather than the PWM pins on the Baikal boards. Be aware these are not standard 4-port fan pins. The ethernet cable is actually running into an AC powerline adaptor, as my router is in the middle of the kitchen downstairs. Connection seems fine at the moment. I've set up three pools, two nicehash (x11/quark) and a quark Mue mining pool. I'm still evaluating whether I want to mine bitcoin via nicehash, or mine Dash/Mue directly. At the moment I'm trying to hedge against a potential x11 difficulty bomb that might hit when those ibelink monstrosities finally hit in August. Hash rate on the box says 1230MHs, nicehash is reported about 1135mhs with 15mhs rejected. Will do some further playing, and happy to try and answer any questions people interested in them might have.   Nice! Interested to see what you find the best dash pool to be, as I'm currently searching myself xD I put up an initial review and unboxing of my baikalminer cube today if you're interested -- currently getting a bad return on prohashing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47a4CDeFjqQnice review make me interesting to buy it. anyway can i use windows 10 or maybe we need other operating system to run this baikla cube mining ? you can use that operating system and virtual login through IP |

Suprnova isn't going too well for me. Some success but then it bombed out. If you find a good dash pool as well please let me know.
X11 hashing is otherwise going well on nicehash
That's not good to hear as I was going to try supernova next O_o perhaps coinmine then? |

Hi guys I decided to make my own thread as I have a lot of questions . . First I'm looking to setup an in home mining cave, I only have funds for ~5 rigs currently but I have goals of filling rigs to reach my electric capacity (200 amp box) http://imgur.com/a/kUQqIPlease review my pictures, garage is semi underground, area is all cleared out now for mining, however a car will also be stored in the garage, it is a 1 car garage but honestly about the size of a 2 car garage. You can see the panel in the back left, I am planning to upgrade the electric Question #1 Can you please explain the rough max electric I can run for this system and how I should do it? Question #2 How can I manage heat in this setup, there is only one door to the exterior which mimics a front door and then the garage door, the area closest to the concept mining area which is that indent in the garage however it does not have to be there, just seems to make most sense? Question #3 Racks etc, my setup will be mostly GPU rigs, whats the best rack setup I can use as far as being useful, cooling, and looking decent I have more questions but these are my main concerns at the moment, would love all input on how to successfully create this so that the setup is very efficient. |

Is it worth buying one of these that have a july 20-30 ship date?
|
|
|
|

My elec. is semi high based off the prices I've read others have at .14c kwh, my main concern is the conflict of it potentially not being recognized on the rig

Understood so my next question is that I have a rig with 5x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X and I want to add a 6th card. I'd like to add the most powerful card that has a good ROI still however should I simply add another SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X? I'm sure I could find one for a decent price?

Is it possible to run amd And NVIDIA cards on the same rig ?
Yes - but in general the machine will end up being somewhat less stable than running a "pure" rig one way or the other. Easy to do on Windows 7 or 10 (almost the ONLY think Windows does better than LINUX), can be done under LINUX but the installation of drivers is a bit more complicated. So if I have a rig with 5x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X DirectX 12 100363VX-3L 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X WITH BOOST (UEFI) Video Card I want to add another card to this rig, I am planning to mine zcash with it --- I want to add the most effective card to this rig, what would everyone suggest? Buy a kill-a-watt meter and see how much power you are pulling on the rig. those cards pull heavy power. Let us know the watts you use at the meter Let us know the hashrate you have Let us know your power cost. I may suggest buy no more cards until you sell off some of the r9 280x cards. I would like to give you correct advice. If possible I'd like to keep those cards, with that in mind would it be possible to add another card and if so what? |

Just did a little testing with 2 x 1080 ti Founder Editions  Power limit - 80% Core clock - default Memory clock +800 Fan speed - 70% Those settings land me around 1771 core / 11610 memory and 530W at the wall for ~36.7 Mh/s per card This system is a Supermicro motherboard with dual Xeon 2670 CPU's and 128GB ram, so system power is pretty high. ZEC and other coins give far better results at considerably less power For instance I can get ~1050 sol/s for only 370W at the wall, which is ~4.2 sol/W  1050 sol / 370w with one card? |

Yeah what price did people end up paying for their cubes & quads?
|
|
|
|

Purchased two cubes already, looking for two more! Baikal will have more available next week but I'd prefer shipping within USA

surprised this is lingering so long. .

as i said AT THE MOMENT OF WRITING , stongest card providing HIGHER HASH RATE (no matter the power consumption) is RADEON PRO DUO ... 900 to 1100 hashes /s depending on the oc you apply ... of course the higher the hash rates the more inefficient it is... at 900 hashes is a bit less efficient than nvidia cards (4.5 w for each hash)
Per that number the TI only uses 156 w per hash? The 1080 Ti can be set to do ~600 sols at ~150-155 watts. About 3.9 hash per watt ratio. You can get it up around 700 sols or higher but it will use the full 250 watts and beyond, making it very inefficient if you run it that way. I have 5x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X DirectX 12 100363VX-3L 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X WITH BOOST (UEFI) Video Card I want to add one more card to this rig, my understanding is that I should add an AMD card for best efficiency? I'm interested in adding a 1080 TI but I do not want to create a headache for myself. What's the recommended card at the highest performance that would run on this rig as the 6th card? |
