Stay away from the Z170's.  They can only run 4 gpus.  The motherboard that you want is the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 or https://amzn.com/B00K8KPXUO on Amazon.  I can always get 6 or 7 gpus on my RIGs.  I just got this rig put together.  This will give me the capability of stacking and also air control for venting out the back and directing it into my furnace during the winter or outside in the summer.

Here is the pics.





so  what cpu is in there?

you may as well buy this one

should work to add 15h

@ AriesIV10

i think your two case fans (beside the motherboard) should direct air the other way, from external air -> cpu-board -> gpus.. besides the hot air from the cards will likely be sucked in by the PSU too.

You are exactly correct.  They are backwards.  This is the way the server case had the mobo location.  Heat is an issue.  I am changing it around.

Phil,

One of my business partners - offered 10 units of the following - its refurbished though - I wonder if this is a killer opportunity to get it to mine ZEC and pay itself quickly. Is this same specs as the M800?


1. Refurbished Lenovo M92 USFF / Intel core i5 / 4gb ram / 500gb hdd / windows 7 / 1 month warranty

Phil.... like you and M700s, I may end up with lots of these (above) at the house.... any feedback on these M92, i5s?

If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

I got 5 x 390 = 270sol/s per rig.

So much for the 100 sols/s per 390 as promised by Claymore.... but I am not complaining, its very stable and all too familiar features like CDM and XMR miner.

I think they will be a big movement from ETH miners in the next few days....

he says he can still improve the miner..

Good news: I'm going to release my ZEC miner in a few hours so all ZEC-related discussion will move to new thread finally Smiley
Bad news: I was not reach 100h/s on 390 in this version. I'm going to improve speed, but people want to have miner asap so I will release it as is, about 50h/s on stock 390X. I don't like to hurry so further improvements will be added later.

Yup! just got it up and running on my 1 4-RX 470 rig.  Running nicely at 40-44 S/s per card (over-clocked & under-volted).  This is WAY up from the 13 I was getting using NHM and while certainly not near the 100 that was initially hoped for, that's a 3x increase that I will gladly pay the 2.5% fee for!

Another thing is that this takes WAY less power than mining ETH.  My full 4-card system only pulls 400-450W running this (and nothing else)... it was using 630-650 with CDM solo mining ETH, so about a 35% reduction is a nice additional bonus!

Waiting a bit to start up NHM for CPU mining. Hopefully there won't be any conflict. When I ran NHM CPU yesterday concurrently with CDM ETH, it completely hosed my ETH returns.

Oh yeah rock solid as usual!
Getting 834h/s for 20 cards so abot 41S/s per card, 3x480 and 17x470.

Waiting a bit to start up NHM for CPU mining. Hopefully there won't be any conflict. When I ran NHM CPU yesterday concurrently with CDM ETH, it completely hosed my ETH returns.

Just tried to run NHM CPU on ZEC concurrently with Claymore GPU ZEC and had bad results. Firstly, the hashrate on Claymore dropped by about 25% from 40/card to 30/card.  That alone won't do since Im only getting 23 S/s from my 6800k CPU... so that would be a net loss of 17 S/s.  But, even worse, after about 5 minutes, it crashed my system.  Rebooted, reset GPU settings in Afterburner, launched Claymore again and crash within 1 minute without anything else running.  Reboot again and now Claymore running stable for close to 20 minutes, but Im disappointed about not being able to run both at same time.

I think this is a NHM issue more than Claymore ZEC since as I mentioned, NHM CPU also hosed my CDM ETH miner yesterday while trying to run both.  As it stands I am more than double my sol-rate on this rig vs yesterday but it sucks to have to leave the CPU idle when it could be pulling 23 S/s.  Also, this equates to a double suck (unless somehow rectified) as I just ordered a 4790K CPU yesterday for my 2nd rig.

How come Watts per GPU is that low with only 58 Watt. When I check all videos, youtube, google websites regarding TPD power of RX 470 is 150 Watt , have you tweaked them or something or have you modded the Bios like many persons are suggesting on the internet ? Also I am getting a core i3 6100 with an Amd RX 460 is it worth mining Zcash as Ethereum it isn't (in ethereum only 18-22 USD per month profit) ?

How much profit you make in Btc with 41 SOL  for a month ?

I have modded all of them to include overclocking and undervolting to answer your questions on watts.  Claymore's ZCASH miner v1.0 just came out and I just downloaded it on 4 of my rigs.  I will let the group know the $ SOL as soon as I can have a few hours of operation.  Right now with only 2.5 hours of operation.  I just got my first payment of .01SOL=$6.97 for 2.5 hours of operation.  I just started configuring my 4 rigs to ZEC 2.5 hours ago and did not get all of them running for an hour.  So..not too bad right now.  haha  I think I am liking this ZEC!

Also, i think Aries calculates his W usage per card differently that some others. Through his help, I have modded the exact same GPUs via the same method and got them close to what he is getting (I'm low to mid-60's vs his 58) but to clarify, these are the wattage readings per card that apps such as Wattman and others show, and they do not necessarily capture all of the power being consumed by the GPU (this is my understanding anyway).  As an example on my rig when it was running ETH using CDM... I showed about 75W per card being used for a total of 300W. But, my total at the wall was 625 or so.  At that time, my system running nothing but MinerGate mining XMR was using 140 at the wall.  So... 625W - 140W = 485W being used by the 4 GPUs (~120W/card)... not the 300W I calc using 4 x 75W.

Although I don't know what else Aries is running on this rig (I suspect not much, if anything at all), you can do a similar calc using his stats to get the "effectve" wattage pull of the GPUs. 

6 x 58W = 348W.  669W at the wall... maybe about 100-120W of that is system at idle or other minor usage... so, say 550W total for 6 GPUs = effective use of about 92W per GPU. I don't claim to understand why there is a difference between what certain apps show per card and what they actually pull, but just trying to say there are difference ways to look at it.  Also, Aries seems to be very adept at getting the most out of his cards at very low wattage.  I have been trying to match his results for a few weeks now and can only get within 5% on 1 card... the other 3 are still using 10-15% more wattage than his 6-card average... for the same exact MSI RX-470 4GB GPUs.

agree 100% on both statements!

Phil, which CPU miner are you using for ZEC?  I tried to use nicehash at the same time as Claymore GPU ZEC and it first knocked 25% off my Claymore rates, then crashed my system.

Looking for a solution to put my 6800k to use on ZEC that doesnt impact Claymore.

I just did it. So far, I'm reporting 105 Sol/s for my rig composed of one 380 and two 470. I might improve it, but I have not the time now, pretty tired. I'll post it here if something changed.

Maybe just tell it to run with three threads ? That might be the solution.

I reistalled win 10 until I use ETHOS.

I tried to install Crimson 15.12 like Claymore say ... I don't have the video option in the list ?

Anyone had that issue ?

Should I just install 16.9.2 ?
