[XMR] What Hardware and Software do you use to mine the MONERO XMR

[kenscho]

buy for 300-1000 usd coins on exchange.. its much better

DO NOT buy this hardware for XMR mining.

MAINBOARD -> Asrock Rack EP2C612WS
VENT -> Two Cooler Master 212 EVO's
CPU -> Two Xeon E5-2667 V3 ES
RAM -> 64 Gig's DDR 4 -3200 GSkill Trident Z
PSU -> 750W EVGA
OS -> Ubuntu 16.04LTS  64bit, and Windows 10 64 Bit
GPU's -> Two XFX RX 480 4gig
POWER -> Don't know yet.

The two E5-2667 V3 ES cpu's have 35mb of L3 cache each so I can run 32 threads all the time.  

These engineering sample cpu's are acually 14 cores that have only 8 cores activated, they are KILLER for cpu mining with the unusually large cache.

About 575 H/s on each cpu and about the same on each RX480.

You have only 575H for each CPU or each CORE on a CPU ?

At this time, what is the best free miner software for nVidia GPUs/Ubuntu to mine XMR ?

It's seems that no news release of CryptoNight CCMiner were made since 2 years....

The same miner as was there 2 years ago.

Each cpu, so for both I get about 1150 H/s.

You would think it  would be a bit more but these Xeons are ES ones that have a all core boost of 3 GHz. My last build was a dual E5-2670 that have 20mb of L3 cache each and would run best with ~9 threads and about 400 H/s each.

Both the 2667's and 2670's are both 8 core with 16 threads each running at all core boost of 3 GHz but with the 35 mb of cache the 2667's are about %60 faster mining monero and put out noticeably less heat and I can run all 32 threads 24/7 even while doing other things, web surfing, watching youtube ect.

I did not build this pc to crypto mine, it's my main pc that I try alot of things on to learn and last weekend I started running Wolfs GPU miner to see what it would do.

1150/32 = 36H/s/thread?  Is that too low?

Better than the 8H/s  on a Athlon x2 64 bit I tried. LOL

Yea there are quite a few cpu's that will out perform it on one thread but its has 16 threads per cpu and it adds up plus on a dual 2011-3 socket motherboard I have tons of upgrade options for cpu's lots more cores and speed once the prices come down.

Not too bad for a desktop that cranks out ~2300 H/s with only two GPU's that I can still use as a desktop while its mining.


I built this pc a few weeks ago, only bought the motherboard and ram new, the cpu's were bought off ebay used and everything else was reused from my dual E5-2670 build.
