Quadruple Mining Machine (What could be possible?)

[GabryRox]

If you already have the I5/I7/etc makes sense to use them - but if you don't, consider you can mine with a GTX 750ti at ballpark 240h/s using HALF the electric for ballpark $100 *NEW* cost.


That 7950 is going to eat a LOT of electric, you won't see 2 month ROI on it. 4 perhaps - which would still be better than paying too much for a high-end CPU to mine on.

Exactly... if I would have had to pay the full $400 for my 6800k, there's no way I would have used it to build my first mining rig. VERY long road to ROI that cost, even if it does end up pulling the 500-600 M/h that I am hoping for.

As soon as I get my rig up and running, I will report back here as to what HR that CPU is getting.

With Intel Core i7-5960X ( around 1000$ ) you can mine XMR , with a speed of 265-270 H/s

That CPU at stock clocks shows a bit more - about 510 H/s, due to large cache. Though ROI is still bad, of course

That 510 H/s is more in line with what I had roughly calculated based on a few various benchmarks, but I am very curious... did you find that number on a site somewhere?  I am thinking my 6800k might be in the same ballpark... 1 generation newer, faster MHz, but of course, 2 less cores so we will see.

I have access to this CPU so I checked it and got this number in my XMR CPU miner (with "-t 10" option).
L3 cache size is very important for XMR, so 6800K (15MB cache) will be slower than 5960X (20MB cache).

Hi there,

I was wondering (just for recreational use) if it's possible to build a system capable of:

• Dual GPU Mining
• CPU Mining
• HDD Mining

All at the SAME time 

This post it to clarify what could be possible and what would be needed to achieve this.

I would guess:

• 6x RX480
• Extreme Core I7 (or server processor)
• 64TB (8x 8TB HDD)
• 1500 Watt PSU (At least..)


Is it possible, or did anyone do this already?

Thank you for your thought's on this.

If you're really interested, then maybe going down this route will help on the CPU and HDD side of things especially - http://www.techspot.com/review/1155-affordable-dual-xeon-pc/page7.html
