dude the r9 280x pull tons of power you need this psu evga 1300 g2 and that is for the five 280x cards I wonder what mobo do you have, I would consider a separate build for the 1080 ti processor Intel Core I3-4160 Processor 3.60 GHz, 2-Core LGA1150 Socket, Hyper-Threading MB ASRock H81 Pro BTC Mining LGA1150 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Board What are your thoughts? What psu for the six cards then? |

If you want to mine Zcash exclusively, the Nvidia 10 series GPU's will give you the best performance per watt. Between 450 - 700 H/s each depending on the model, but they also cost more than AMD's.
Is there a breakdown of the 10 series cards with their price, their hash rate, and power usage? Which one of the 10 series would you rec? 1060 300-330 h I have 1 1070 400 -440 h I have 2 1080 470 - 515 h I have 1 1080 ti 630 - 715 h I have 7 soon to be 8 all rough numbers of the cards I own. most efficient one or 2 of the 1080 ti's clock well and may be most efficient What to buy? price is key a good deal on 1060 if you have space and lots of empty mobos is fine. a good deal on the 1080 ti if you don't have space is fine. same on the other two. what is a good deal. A Zotac 1060 6gb mini was at 219 on amazon it will do 310-330h for zec that is pretty good deal it is now 239 on newegg https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500402&cm_re=zotac_mini-_-14-500-402-_-ProductI never owned a zotac 1070 mini but it is a really good price on newegg 339 and it will do over 400h https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500408&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=1070-_-14-500-408-_-ProductI just picked up 8 of the Zotac Mini's and will be using them in 2x 4 GPU rigs im thinking about building a 6 gpu rig with 6x gtx 1080 ti, can anybody recommend me a psu wich is strong enough for that?
EVGA 1600 would do it and would be what I would recommend. You'll need molex 4-pin or Sata risers though, won't have any PCIE left over to really run the risers unless you buy splitters but I wouldn't do that. Why isnt 9x 8 pin sufficient ? |

philipma1957 Thanks for the input, switched out the CPU and RAM after some looking around. Guessing the RAM wont get hot or anything so no need for the heat spreaders on the RAM? SSD was not much more and for some extra storage in case I need to download a block chain or two.
Now for the real hard hitting question what should I be looking at GPU wise for ROI and pure profit over the next few months to year or so Nivida 1060/1070/1080 or ti variants or AMD RX 470/480 or 570/580? Also with those what cryptocurrencies would those GPU be best for?
hardest question is what cards to use. I have not tried any rx 570's or 580's why I went through stages with my cards first all rx 470's mostly all 4gb ungraded to rx 480's all 6gb now doing all nvidia 1080 ti's my setup at the moment is 8 rx 480 8gb 2 nvidia 1070 8gb 1 nvidia 1080 8gb 7 nvidia 1080 ti 11gb. about 8000h for zec What's the power usage on a 1080 TI for zcash |

Are you running that and what does your setup consist of? |

So I have not read extensively on burst,
Can anyone tell me if burst mining is worth getting into as of today?
A large portion of the PoC rewards have already been mined. That said: yes, it is for sure worth mining today, as Burst mining requires trivial amounts of electricity. Feel free to join us at https://forums.burst-team.us if you have more detailed questions about Burst mining.  Currently plotting 3.5 TB for burst, any recommendations? I recommend Blago's XPlotter for plotting. It creates optimized plots in one go (back in the day, generating plots and then "optimizing" them was a 2-step, sequential process). I also use his miner for my 40tb, and works well for me. Also, look for a pool that doesn't have a maximum deadline if 3.5 tb is your total space. I currently have the plotter built into the wallet working, would you say to continue with this or to cancel and move to blago's xplotter and again would the miner utilized in the standard wallet be effective or also worth switching to his miner? What does your 40tb setup consist of and could you link me to your workers? If you mean the Windows wallet from "daWallet", then you're in luck because XPlotter is the plotter used in that wallet. For mining, I think the windows wallet uses jminer, which is another good choice. If you're happy with it, then I'd suggest to keep using it. My "worker" is named LongD, and can be found at http://burst.ninja/. Not much info you can learn from looking at that though. Burst mining in general is pretty straight-forward though: plot, then mine. There's very little you can do to in terms of configuring or tweaking to get better results (like in typical gpu mining). Plotting with CPU how long on average should 3.5tb take? How can I ensure there is no error and I am just not running the plotter with no results in sight The built in plotter only allowed CPU use? |

What is the most recommended pool as of 5/17?

Bronze rated. Thumbs Down.
You don't have much of a load, but it will be on 24/7 for months or years. Gold rated minimum, platinum recommend.
Can you elaborate on why? States 5 year warranty? If you need 2x PCIE connectors, it won't work -- it only has 1. Do what I did, get a molex to PCI-e adapter for $2. Can you post a picture of your setup? Sure when I get home. It's just in my home office so a little ghetto set up hey no judgement here haha |

anyone familiar with any other pandaminer reviews that have since popped up?

Hey guys I'm interested in buying a Baikal Cube, I'm mainly interested in one unit at a fair price, more so interested in the 300 MH/s as opposed to the 150 MH/s.
If the price is right I can buy up to two cubes, however with the new iBeLink miner in mind (stats below) I will not be ripped off on price, quite honestly I'll be pressed to ROI these in 6 months if this DM11G is as epic as it's supposed to be. However I've always wanted a cube even just for fun if I can ROI it, so please let me know if you're willing to sell.
iBeLink DM11G with 10.8GH/s
Hash Function: X11
Hash Rate: 10.8 GH/s ±5%
Power Consumption: 750 W (at the wall, with 25°C ambient temp)
Power Efficiency: 0.07 J/MH (at the wall, with 25°C ambient temp)
Number of TNB0303 chips per unit：64
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 40 °C
Network Connection: Ethernet
Power Supply: 110V to 240V, 50Hz/60Hz
Certifications: FCC, CE
Dimensions: 490mm(L)*350mm(W)*180mm(H)
Weight: 21kg(with packing boxes)
I had to LOL that you think the 11GH miner is real. Just speculating here, some people think it's real, some people think it's not I just think it's a real prototype, sort of  |

My understanding is that the cubes use 90 W so say ~220 Watts w/ 2 units and accounting for deviation --- then a 300w PSU would be the most efficient?

What is the best and most power efficient power supply to power 2 cubes (the 300 mh/s version)
I pay.14c kwh so efficiency is always critical / how does everyone have their cubes currently setup (with what PSU and why)
Take Max Wattage x 2 = Max Total Wattage, don't go off the minimums if it says 300 + 10%, then do 330 x2 Find a PSU that will generate enough power that you only utilize 80% of its total power to accommodate your Max Total Wattage Buy the best priced / most efficient PSU that is Gold/Platinum/Titanium rated. Remember there is only a 2% difference between each of the above categories so it doesn't always justify an extra $100-$200 for an extra 2% efficiency if you stick around 80% usage on your power. With rebate this is a nice PSU especially at $25 USD https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817139201 - thoughts? Not bad but I'd look at this - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817151117 20% load 50% load 100% load 80 PLUS 80% 80% 80% 80 PLUS Bronze 82% 85% 82% 80 PLUS Silver 85% 88% 85% 80 PLUS Gold 87% 90% 87% 80 PLUS Platinum 90% 92% 89% Scratch that, it won't work, I believe you need 2x PCIE connectors - you need this one - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817151124So you think this is the best option, or just a good option? |
