For XMR, I've found the old FX-8320e is great.

Microcenter sells them for $80. Bundle a motherboard with an extra $30 off == winning.

Mine gets ~320 sols undervolted with the system pulling less than 120 watts. I don't really know what just the CPU pulls.

@GabryRox
The MSI-Gaming M5 is based on the Z170 chipset which is ... to be frank... its PITA... pain in the ass
If you want to venture into 7,8,9 GPU rigs --- get the Z270 ones which is much more reliable on smOS, nvOC Linux and W10.
However there are special images by smOS and nvOC specifically for this board to work.
But frankly.... the reality is mining will be expensive to get into soon -- even NVIDIA has a mining GPU GTX1060 Mining edition.


Thanks for the advice  Cit & Chilidog... the Z270's look like really nice boards, so if and when I can find some decently priced GPU's I may consider going for 1-2 of them.  I already am running 4 6x MSI 470 rigs, and would like to get 1-2 more up and running, but as Cit mentioned, the reality is that it would cost a severe premium to build more rigs now due to 1) global shortage of 580/570 and pretty much no 480/470's left in the supply chain and 2) the 2 to 4x cost of NVidia cards compared to Radeon.

I'll be honest, i never really looked hard at the NVidia prices until earlier today, and was astonished to see how much more they cost than AMD cards. Even the lowly 1060's are ~$300, and I think at best they can do what, about the same as a 470 on ZEC (250 S/s)?  From there it only seems to get worse... a 1080 can do what, 450-500 S/s on ZEC?  Sure, that's 2x what a 470 could do, but about 3x the cost (retail 470, which of course is non-existent now).  

The thing i can't figure out is the profitability of these higher end NVidia cards. Just plugging the comparison of a 1080 (non-TI ) vs a 470 in whattomine, the 1080 mining ZEC is only 10% at most more profitable than a 470 mining ETH, but at 2-3x the cost, will take much longer to ROI, correct?  And, I'm not adding in the extra you could easily get by going dual ETH + DCR or SIA. In that case, the 470 would actually be more profitable than a 1080. So, kind of wondering what the appeal of going NVidia would be, especially before the shortage of 4xx & 5xx cards. Probably I am missing something...

if you can find any RX cards today it wont be same price.... gpushack offered me 300 bucks for my 1 year old R9 Nano.... no way jose

even though the Nano is a 400+++ sols card, it has TDP of 175w -- so around the specs of 1070 with TDP 150w or less after some tweaking.

For ZEC at least, the current graphic architecture seems to be much more superior to AMD so you are likely to get same hash for less NVIDIA cards vs AMD

I have 4 x GA-Aorus-1080ti 2600-2700sols but eats nearly 200w per card..... but I need at least 6-7 x Nanos to achieve the same results

So I think the math works in favor of Nvidia.... at least for ZEC.

For ETH, memory intensivity will be key and cranking that up will increase power consumption but NVIDIA cards can go even higher MHs per card ~ 1080ti can go up 34-36MHs... so maybe NVIDIA cards will thrive on Equihash algo but perhaps not for Ethhash/Dagger-Hashimoto

Skein is still down unfortunately. ZPOOL had some issues, but I think it was more the frontend glitching than any real lost income mining. Skein has taken a dip in price on markets, but am hoping it will rebound in a bit.

any recommendations for a powerful fan like Scythe's Ultra Kaze

purpose: to bring hot air out of riser-less 1080ti from the top

on the hot summers day, the temps can really creep up past 80c easily

alternative is to reduce intensity and mine less aggressively.... :-(

In which pools can I mine with a GTX 1070? And which are the best coins or algorithms?

100 % tdp is not the way To mine on a 1080 ti

aorus  should be

  75% tdp
+75   core
+400 ram
  75 % fan manual

 for eth mining.  do those settings  and see what you get.

  please trust me on this    no 1080 ti need or like 100%  tdp

Any advice about 1060 3gb settings ?

my # 1 choice  get grills for it 120mm will work.  the blades are easy to break but it moves a lot of air on high speed. 170 cfm

Am using Hawkfish fans on my rigs. They put out a measely 144 cfm, run nice and quiet (just a light hum).

I am looking at something bigger to be placed on top of the cards, sucking out air and pushing it upwards.

I am looking at Cooler Master - Megaflow 200... similar to Phil's link above.
Its rated at 110 CFM, 19dBA, 30,000 hours MTBF
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16835103178

meanwhile.... I dug out 2 x Ultra Kaze fans from the storeroom.... this was to replace those awful fans on the S7s but the miner decided to  stop the woo-woo sound after I downclocked those ants .... I think I got that tip from Phil too. Will try jiggy-rig something on those Ultra-Kaze later meanwhile waiting for Megaflow200 to arrive.

Hawkfish fans are smaller in diameter, but they move a lot more air.

If I put Skein into a calculator it still comes out more profitable than zec (on 1080 ti).  Even though DGB took a bit of a dive.  Zpool issues didn't seem to just be front end though it's hard to say.  I will give it another go in a few days.

can you guys recommend which type of risers I should use? Getting mixed opinions everywhere. I was gonna go with sata risers directly to 6 pins but heard it is dangerous. What is the safest way to power risers?

I personally prefer PCIE 6pin type (riser version 6?) so that I can reuse my 6pin PCIE cables especially when using server PSU.

I have many SATA powered risers in production now and all ok so far.

I guess its a matter of good quality build instead of "dangerous", and if your SATA cable connects via molex onto the riser -- ensure that its tight and secured. I suspect that the real danger is when low quality molex doesn't get in proper contact or loosely contact with the 4 pins -- thats where trouble starts... ie. sparks, fire hazard, damaged riser eventually over time.

For risers I usually take good look on the quality of the USB3 cable... the ones that are "fat" or shielded likely have 100% uptime compared to the flimsy ... phone charger looking type USB cables...

Keep in mind the big 200mm fans - although the CFM is nice - dont push as much air where you want it vs a smaller fan.  if you are pulling air, then I guess it should be good but I prefer when you can actually feel the airflow.  On another note I just bought a vortex s-800 fan to extract hot air out of my garage, if you guys are interested ill let you know how it works out.  It was on sale and I need to keep the noise down.  i'll probably build a box around it anyway.
