Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized.

[philipma1957]

yeah I don't use ups except for regular pc and router.  I lose power I don't mine in house.

I still have gear in other places.

here is the rig  that the guy is running full speed

Supermicro X9DRX+-F-O

I can't stop staring at this.   

if this old mobo cost 500-600 bucks......

I dread the moment when the price for the Asrock H110 Pro BTC comes out at 399 bucks

but I found cpus' at 114 used  so 114+114 + 500 = 726  and I think you make 5 or 6 a day with xmr mining on the cpus.

My setups would be

 3x i5 6400t
 3x  gigabyte z270

which = 720  but I could do 3 slot + 1 riser = 12 cards

i really should look into this xmr stuff, my ryzen 1700 may make me a few more bucks a day.. its watercooled so heat wouldnt be an issue

It is just cryptonight on the nicehash.exe?  Pretty sure I asked Phil how he was mining with his CPU and he said just using nicehash.  But I could be mixing it up with someone else.

I have a Ryzen 1600x (for gaming)  Which is about the same as a 1700.  Also water cooled.  It still gets up near 56C when cpu mining but its not too bad.  While mining Skein @1020 with one to1080 I can run nicehash and just select CPU and it gives me about 320 H/s on whatever it is mining.  My laptop i5 at work gives me 50 h/s as comparison.  And I think I have older i5 in a pc that does around 110 h/s.   The ryzen is making around #1.30 a day.  So if those CPU phil has are doing about the same that is impressive.  IMO worth it.  I can't see much or any change in Watt at the power point.

yeah pretty much it.

Hi All,

I am quite new mining, just start 4 months ago.
I have several RX480 rigs mining dual coin and they are fairly stable. I mine ETH + Decred/Sia (I switch around).
Took me some time to get it efficient and proper mining rate.

Then from where I am staying now, 400/500 series GPU just ran out. You can't get them anywhere.
As you all would have know by now, mining is ADDICTIVE.
I wanted more and more rigs. 

So I stumble onto Philipma's thread on 1080 Ti and that got me hooked.
I brought 6 Ti. 3x MSI Gaming X 1080 Ti and 3x Gigabyte Aorus (2x Extreme, 1x Regular).

I love them and I would like to thank Phillipma contribution to the site.
Very generous with his analysis and never hold back on sharing his knowledge.
Thumbs up!

I started off with skein on zpool and it was profitable.
But then for the past few days, the earnings has dropped to half and I have been stalking Phillipma zpool account.
And he dropped off skein, so I followed him to start mining Zcash on Nicehash.

Using the knowledge shared in this post, my Zcash rigs are running around 3.5/3.6 H/W.
Not great but I can still improve it.

Since it is the first time I use Nvidia card to mine, I don't really know where to look for the profitability model.
Whattomine has limited information and not very complete.

Q : How do you look at latest profitability model for Ti?

Thanks a bunch. Beer on me if you fly to my place.

Q : How do you look at latest profitability model for Ti?

if you enter 1.5 * 1080 it is similar output to that of a 1080ti. For equihash at least. Dunno about the rest.

[Storx]

ill be nice, this has taken me hours to compile on my Gigabyte 1080ti cards which are on stock cooling, all benchmarks were done at OEM stock settings. I was forced to run it at stock settings because some algos are incredibly picky with OC, i mean some will crash at the sight of +10 to the core freq.. just boggled me, the stock settings were the only settings i could get even numbers across EVERY algo the 1080ti's would run on all the CCminers i have used to date....... The intensity levels, ignore them they will be different on your machine, these are the highest i could get 1hr stability from each algo... im still performing the test....so all blank intensity boxes are DEFAULT levels with no manual correction

Wow,very comprehensive list. Thank you for sharing.
Please correct me if I interpret your data incorrectly. I am to use Alexis78 if I intend to mine highest profitable skein.

congrats Storx that's very impressive

[QuintLeo]

 Ryzen is a good choice for efficient XMR (Monero) mining.
 Not worth getting the cpu JUST for that IMO, but if you already have it....

 It's so addictive I moved to "the land of VERY low cost electric" and went pro last summer.

It is about USD0.11 in my country. I still have a day job.

[Mattthev]

That's great price!
In CZ it's about 0.15 USD, we have something called night current, it means better price at night.

We have that too, but the electrical utilities company will require a big deposit of about USD5k to enable "Off Peak" and "Peak" charges. Night is cheaper. Since we don't really know how long this mining bubble will last, investing that amount is risky.

Testing Zotac 1070 Mini with ETH mining instead of ZEC - surprisingly how easy to get these 1070s going.

I am putting all my 1080tis on ZEC and all 1070s do ETH and join my AMD ETH farm.

I have 2 identical rigs, 6 x Zotac 1070 Mini -- this one mining ETH/Dwarfpool/Windows and the other twin mining ZEC/NH on nvOC Linux.

Final goal is to get both on nvOC and keep them on ETH mining.

I am doing the test remotely so I need to get the kill-a-watt readings later tonight when I visit the warehouse.

Its running solid at 181MH past an hour now using Claymore v9.5 on MSI Z270-A Pro, i3-7100, 8GB RAM, EVGA-1300w-G2

Anyone tested Zotac 1070 Minis on ETH yet? Anything to improve this rig further?

[philipma1957]

your tdp %  reads 100% in msi   and it reads 80% in gpu-z

sooo my guess is not every one of the 6 gpus  is set to 80%

try 75% and do each gpu 1 at a time even if you marked them synch

I have had identical gpus marked synch  not take the settings.

@ Xleejohnx

I'm answering late to you message, sorry about it.
I'm trying to do it but I have few questions.

claymore ethman comes with a sample.bat file you use it to look like this

Code:

@ECHO OFF
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File  C:\minerTxt.ps1

then the powershell script needs to look like this

Code:

#Variables
$email = "myTower.local@gmail.com"
$phone = "8508491985@txt.att.net"

$ProcessActive = Get-Process dsNetworkConnect -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if($ProcessActive -eq $null)
{

$EmailFrom = $email
$EmailTo = $phone
$Subject = "Claymore Miner down" 
$Body = "Check Miners!!" 
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com" 
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587) 
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true 
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("myTower.local", "Passwordgoeshere"); 
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
}

-So I just copy paste

Code:

@ECHO OFF
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File  C:\minerTxt.ps1

in the sample.bat ? do I have to change the name of the file ?

-what is the "C:\minerTxt.ps1" ? is that a txt file I have to create and just copy paste that inside:

Code:

#Variables
$email = "myTower.local@gmail.com"
$phone = "8508491985@txt.att.net"

$ProcessActive = Get-Process dsNetworkConnect -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if($ProcessActive -eq $null)
{

$EmailFrom = $email
$EmailTo = $phone
$Subject = "Claymore Miner down" 
$Body = "Check Miners!!" 
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com" 
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587) 
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true 
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("myTower.local", "Passwordgoeshere"); 
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
}

updated with my mail informations of course

Sorry but never went in this kind of things before.

Not sure about the 1070's but here's what I get with the Aorus 1080ti (just tested to see how far it can go).

So, 80% tdp -100 core +1000 memory (max) gives 39.5 mh/s (however after a few minutes CPU starts to overload with high usage from afterburner. If I close it I'm left with the System process  hogging the CPU (a cheap celeron skylake). +600 memory gives 36 mh/s and no CPU overload.

Wonder where the problem is. Too weak CPU?

try

 0 core

+800 ram

even though eth like ram more then anything

it needs some core.

if core is too low it limits the max hash

what  miner  claymore?

if claymore try -ethi 16 in the bat.

I will  try a  rig with a better cpu.  to see if I can create your problem

I am doing 2 msi aero 1080 ti  at

75% tdp
174 core
860 ram
75% fan

and getting 38.5  on claymore  with a -ethi 16 setting

using an intel i3 6100t

and cpu usage is 9%


I now bumped to 975 ram

and cpu usage is now 24%

so I would say using a shit cpu is your issue  note i did this on win7

more testing  weaker cpu and high ram clock = no go.

the better the cpu  the closer to high ram clock , but in my case  it seems that stable memory max is about 860  even with a i3 6100t gives me 38.5 mh.

but at 600  memory and a core of 58% it gives me 36.2

[lexele]

My Aorus 1080ti extreme doesn't like even +200 mem 

[Jmattes]

Back reading this thread is pretty cool, on page 16, haha.

In the mean time I have a question. Can I get away with 4gb of ram on a mining rig?

Asus z270ar
i3 6100
(2) Asus FE 1080ti
Evga GC 850

Or would 8gb be prefered?

the c:\minertext.ps1 is the location to the file you need to make in powershell and yes just copy and paste those lines in powershell and change the info

I use 4GB of RAM in all of my rigs.  I do bump up virtual memory to at least 16GB though.
