okay I am using simplemining on ½ my rigs

here is a link for my reference

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1584973.msg17933327#msg17933327

I now own 1 pandaminer ------------ has 8 rx 480s mining eth
6 working biostar z170 mobos-------  each have 2 msi  rx 470's 4gb mining eth prepped for new cards
1 h81 mobo --------------------------  has 3 msi rx 480s 8gb  a msi rx  470 8gb mining eth
1 Aorus mobo------------------------- has 3 msi rx 480s 8 gb a msi rx 470  8gb mining eth
1 Asrock z170 mobo------------------ has 2 mis rx 470's 4gb  mining eth prepped for nex cards when they come

1 z 97 itx with a rx 460  mines xmr

various software in use

  smOS
  eliovp os for panda miner
  windows 7
   windows 10

I sold 12 msi rx 470's 4gb to make room for newer cards when they come out.
I will be selling the rest of my msi rx 470's 4gb  14 of them.

Yes they get too long to find anything.

I bumped and locked the other 2 so they are easy to find. I placed links to both threads.

reasonable!

Phil have you ever thought about cutting the part of a tower frame that holds mb + gpus for your 2-4 card rigs? I have two spare ones and when I´m finished I´ll post some pictures of course. This will help to hold everything together tight + installing some "case" fans etc.

Please show via photos.
Right now I have  6 biostar z170's partly loaded as I am prepping for newer gpus

[WestonParish]

Cheers Phil!


I am awaiting the arrival of my PSU, CPU, and risers to start building my first rig. My buddy and I are putting together a wood open air frame today!

Build:
6x Sapphire RX 470
EVGA Supernova G2 @ 1300W
Biostar TB85
Intel G1840
4GB RAM
120GB SSD


Started with 3 cards which just arrived yesterday. Going to get the other 3 very shortly. Can't wait to get started!

[philipma1957]

I am going to do a build with this newer z270 board


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2V0AHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had coupons paid 65 for it.

I have an intel i5 6400t and 2 sticks of ram

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts about this one. Feel free to share ! 

[citronick]

Phil - after you sell off your rigs, you ill build more rigs and put them in the solar farm?

[LoneRangir]

Some Ryzen benchmarks are being published today. May be time for a new build, indeed!

Hopefully there will be some decent Mobo choices with enough PCIe slots for a 4 card, 6 card build that does not break the bank. The CPU performance looks great. Is XMR the only real alt worth CPU mining at the moment?

[philipma1957]

@ citronick    we will have excess power at the solar array  starting spring march 21  ending fall sept 21

so buysolar and I will need to figure how we ramp up in the next 30 days.

@ LoneRangir

this new mobo almost certainly will run 5 gpus  as my gigabyte aorus does that.

I need to learn to do xmr cpu mining.  I had some helped and for what ever reason I have yet to run xmr cpu correctly

I have 6  biostar z170 good boards running.
I have 1 h81  does 4 gpus easy  does not like 5 or 6
I have 1 asrock z170 does 4 gpus easy
I have 1 asrock itx z97 does 1 gpu easy
I have 1 aorus z270  runs 5 gpus no worries.
I have 1 pandaminer  runs smOS fine runs Eliovp OS fine.

I have 1 h110  works poorly shuts off every 6 hours I should try it with linux

I have 1 biostar z170 the 80 day rma  does not seem to work correctly  but have only used smOS


The new  board  a z270 is a gigabyte  I will report on it. When I get it.

I have 8 mobile  rx 480's 4gb in the pandaminer
I have 6 msi rx 480's 8gb  in the aorus 3 in the h81 3
I have 2 msi  rx 470's 8gb  in the aorus 1 in the h81 1

I have 14 msi  rx 470's in the biostar and the asrock z170
I have   1 xfx rx 460  slim  in a biostar
I have   1 xfx rx 460 slim in the asrock itx.

I will move the pandaminer to the solar array and hook it up to omOS with the SRR

All the rest I just don't know at the moment.

What type of GPUs are you upgrading to? And what motherboard and CPU works best? Thank you

[philipma1957]

What type of GPUs are you upgrading to? And what motherboard and CPU works best? Thank you

I have unique power costs.
Cooling issues.
Space issues.
I want next gen cards as I can not go past 40 cards and 10-12 boards.

You are new.  You have cheap power.  if you can get used  rx 470's from a guy like me  you should.

As for mobos.  I will be testing this one

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2V0AHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


I have tested this one


https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128966&cm_re=aorus-_-13-128-966-_-Product

I reviewed it on newegg it does 5 cards

If the cheaper one on amazon does 5 cards or 6 cards it would be a good board to use.  these are the newest chipset boards.  They will also cpu mine xmr pretty cost effectively .


or get the low cost biostar z170  on sale for a good price at newegg.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138421&cm_re=biostar_z170-_-13-138-421-_-Product

the older board  that was king = asrock H81  I have one of them  many people get 6 cards to work on that.

With Amd's ryzen release notes yesterday
Amd is about to make the market completely competitive
So I'm going to see where it goes before I put more into intel boards and CPU
Intel might drop prices on everything to try and compete with what amd just did

good point .

I have not built an amd  pc since 2010

Here is what I know on the z270 boards they do 5 cards easy. I tested one works fine with 5 cards.

I am hoping to test a second one this week.

Yeah, there's some decently price B350 motherboards with 6 pci slots. Link: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-B350-Plus-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06X416NJ1/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1487876338&sr=8-19&keywords=am4+motherboard

Definitely easier to resell these than H81 btcs. Depending on the power efficiency, the 1700 cpu may be able to mine XMR pretty well too. (I guess 500h/s)

Currently I only have 8 cards and am looking for an industrial unit to rent and expand to 50 vega cards when they release. Only way I can mine in Hong Kong, our houses are like 300sqft with increasing electricity price the more we use  

Planning to go with the Asrock H81 pro btc since I can get it for $70 usd here and risers directly from china pretty cheap.

Umm that board has 4 PCIe slots and two PCI slots, so it can only do 4 GPU's.

okay maybe maybe not   needs testing .

the biostar z170  does 4 cards well none has them doing 5 and 6 cards well
the Aorus  z270 from gigabyte does 5 cards well on windows 10  as tested by me

the ryzen board looks nice maybe it will do 6 cards and the cpu will do a solid 500 on xmr.  so it is like a 7 card rig Maybe

The cpus from amd seem costly to me  lowest cost I see is 329

amd only released the first wave of cpus that complete with intel on gaming and multitasking level
1700 is faster than a 6800k at 329$ 100$ less if i remember right the 1700 is 8 cores 16 threads which amd never has done before till now cuz intel finally sold them a lease for it
it also has at tdp of 65W vs 140W
these are mostly for gaming and stuff like that
6900k is $1k cpu and the 399$ 1700x beat it at cinebench
