follow up on plug. Inlet: NEMA L6-30P Twist-Lock Male Plug this is on the more expensive base unit. so your wall socket needs to be 30 amp 10 gauge wire http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Wall-Receptacle-30-Amp-250-Volt-Twist-Lock-3-Prong-Nema-L6-30R-/121131889284?If you use the wall socket the pdu and the extension cords you can do around 12 500 watt setups. or 10 600 watt setups At herbpean so far my asrock h81 is doing 4 cards okay. the asrock extreme3 z170 at the solar array is now at my house as it is crashing with a bluescreen

I found the ZEC mining stress the GPU more than the ETH. So I have to reduce the core frequency for my R9 390. Anybody else notices that?
I've seen exactly the opposite on my R9 280x and HD 7870s - less power draw, and somewhat more stable, while making quite a bit more than on ETH. Not inclined to mess with trying to switch the triple R9 290 box though since it's LINUX and I've been getting reminded a LOT lately of WHY I hate trying to run a mining machine on Windoze.

@ xleejohnx you are welcome. I just took apart the solar array zec rig. I pulled the ram the cpu the cpu cooler. keeps blue screening. I built a new booster four card rig. I used all visiontek rx 460 cards. This is a two wire rig! That is correct it uses the 8 pin cpu wire and the 24 pin mobo wire nothing else for power. I want to make the most compact rig with the least amount of wires for power. Can not be less then the mobo and the cpu wire. It does 295H at 210 watts. To further the build to the smallest size I ordered this psu. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CGGOXWQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1so this should be the smallest cleanest 4 card build possible. and since the psu has a pcie cable I could pull 1 rx 460 and add 1 rx470 or rx480 to boast hash to about 400h

Back to ZEC for a moment... can someone explain the reward increase thing to me? I thought I had read early on that the first month or so of ZEC mining would be "slow" and then at a certain point (block 20,000 i thought), it would be 3 or 4x what it is now. But alas, now what little info on this I can find, I can't seem to comprehend how it will impact those of us who are mining ZEC.

Block reward was ramping from a fraction of ZEC per block to 12.5 ZEC per block over the first 38 days (or so). To us, we get more ZEC per round all things being equal (hash rate, etc.). This increases the available supply to sell. Unless demand goes up, ZEC price will fall.

Wait on the nanos. There allegedly is a 490 coming "soon". It will use HBM2, if you believe all the hype
Claymore's magic miner can't work further with current 480s but supersonic on the Fury/Nanos with HBM -- I look forward to the 490s with HBM but.... $$$ cant be too expensive - ie. more than a Nano. Also Nanoes are small - half the size with many cores vs the RX4XX, which is ridiculously long and bulky.... decisions, decisions... http://www.eteknix.com/amd-rx-490-retail-listing-pops-upMore FUD that the 490 is near.

I am mulling over 480s or 470s for my next 5 Biostar Z170 4xGPU builds. Or should I just wait for the illusive 490s? Thanks

They do around 70-80 h each. The build is doing around 295h at 210-220 watts. Really quiet build you can sleep with it easy. You can watch tv without hearing it. I will take some photos of it.for the weekend I think I figured out the issue on the build at the solar array. It may be a bad ssd or a bad sapphire card. My money is on a bad ssd.

I think its only 150$ per card or maybe less... BUT it still need 1 x PCI cable each card ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

Right now I am running 24 cards in my house.
the crash[ed] 4 card build at the solar array.
in what manner did it face plant? my claymore builds will time out via the watchdog and reboot; no lockups (only happens when i fiddle with voltage with underclocking cpu/gpu). rock solid otherwise. gigabyte z97x-udh3, 390s, undervolted/clocked celeron 1840 on dedicated miner. gigabyte z77x-udh5, 380 on daily driver.

opposite here. zec is less than eth by about 70-100 watts per 390.
