My second ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos.

[Redrose]

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 ?

What are your graphic cards ? Because even if Claymore said to use 15.12, he also said to use the latest ones for some cards.

[ps_jb]

Questions to Phil and other gurus:

I'm going to build a second rig:

At least 6 GPU - 7 is better

Good CPU to mine CPU coins (ZCahs now)

MD which will support it

Reasonably prices Titanium PSU

Any recommendations?

There is a 15$ rebate on Nitro+ on newegg. Does it mean if I will buy 6 cards - I will get 90$ - or it is per order?

Thank you in advance!

I guess it's the latest ... just wanted to be sure before installed some shit again

thanks

Many rebates are only one card.

If you want six card rigs. You can not use the Intel 6000 CPUs.

But the best CPU miners are the 6000 series
My best results are Intel 6700t Intel 6500t Intel 6400 t. All do around 21-28 h each

If you want a six card rig the only Intel I have for the z97 or h81 is the Intel i7 4785t.

Does 18-19 in the hp 800 mini.

It could be higher. I only ran it a day.
I would get an i5 maybe the i5 4690t

Or the i5 4570t but I am guessing

Brand new Win 10 installation, latest driver.

Same behavior, GPU 1 Hang most of time after x hours.

Or process crashes right off the bat, GPU doesn't start.

Hard to believe this is that hard to have a minimum of stability.

I will try ETHos, but now with Claymore... I might just use 2 Mobo 3 cards each

@ 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.

The case looks awesome.  Can I ask what case that is and how much of the work on the case is custom?

With ZEC mining; I have found AMD cards tend to soft crash less (almost not at all) if you leave a monitor actively displaying or use a dummy plug.  This is especially true for multi card rigs.

Reminds me of wayback.  You used to have to make your own dummy plugs; now you can buy hdmi dummy plugs on Amazon.  I recommend you try leaving a monitor connected/on with the rig; if it is ok, order some dummy plugs (only need 1 for the primary card per rig).

I leave the monitor open.

GPU 1 is always the one who cause me trouble.

I will try to pin point that GPU and use another riser.

[arielbit]

ever since i started gpu mining, i haven't used dummy plugs and i didn't bother reading what's causing the problem, because i don't have it lol

btw i have a monitor that i plug when remote troubleshooting is not possible, that's all.

The case is a Rosewill Server Chassis/Server Case/Rackmount Case, 4U Metal Rack Mount Server Chassis with 8 Bays E-ATX https://amzn.com/B0056OUTBK
Not much custom work other than removing the cpu bays, making an angle bracket to hold the gpus and moving the middle fans back.  I have solved any heat issue but the result is the air flow is from the back to the front.  It looks cool though!  I had to try.

I like how this looks.. I might look into this.

Does it require much work? This case costs 90$, while many open frames are around 100$ (and no fans)

I recently switched from suprnova over to flypool.  I mine directly to my bittrex zec address.  I have auto payouts set, and according to the flypool payout page, I should have 4 payouts.  However, when I log into bittrex, I have only received 1 payment from flypool.  It's been quite a few hours, no pending deposits, no available zec to sell.  Anyone have similar latency issues mining directly to an exchange address?  Up until my switch yesterday, I mined directly to this same address from suprnova, and I have had not issues.  Any input welcome...

I mine to polo address from the day 0

Except two small issues with manual payments I've got all of them timely

I'm switching some (all?) rigs back to suprnova until the payments show up.  I like the flypool status interface so much better.  It gets old logging into suprnova to check on everything.

Okay, that would make some sense.  I just switched a few rigs back over, and triggered an auto-payout from suprnova, too, and it did not show up.

It is in Maintainence.

I boosted my payout number from .01 to .10. I am up to .06

As soon as wallet leaves Maintainence I will change from .1 to .02 and payment will shift
