My Mining Setup

[Subie666]

I currently am mining ETH+SC with a GTX 1070/1080

I use my 1070 to mine while I game and game with my 1080 since it is better for gaming and 1070 has higher hashrates.

I use both of them to mine while I am not gaming. My entire setup (GPU1/GPU2/CPU) is watercooled so the temperatures never get above 55C.

What do you guys think? I just bought the 1080, but am returning it to SLI 1070s and mine with that. It should pay itself off within a little over a month according to my calcs. And I am holding the ETH long term so even more than payoff hopefully.

Great setup however.


You are holding ETH ? You do realize ETH was $6 a few months ago and has almost risen 5000%. Very dangerous holding it in the short term.

That and I think you would make more mining ZEC with your GPUs. However I am not an Nvidia person, so not 100% sure.

Yes I understand because I talked some of my friends into buying it at under $40/coin.

ETH will flourish long-term in my opinion. This isn't a debate about that, its a debate about my setup haha. Let our opinions of ETH be different.

Ok but you might be better off mining ZEC, then selling ZEC and buying ETH instead.

NVIDIA isn't the best with ETH.

I will look into this, thank you for your time.

How much the watercool system cost you? I haven't seen here in forum nor in the youtube that people have used watercooling system for GPUs (they are water blocks right?)

From your experience and perspective do you think that it worth? About the mining setup it is just awesome. A month or less than two months are nothing if you reach the ROI within this period of time.

[Subie666]

The watercooler for my original 1070 was already paid for because i had it for my gaming setup, but i believe it cost me about 100 extra.

the price has now dropped and it will have costed me $50 extra. this is worth it in my opinion because i already have made a decent bit off cryptocurrencies so i just wanted to keep it cool

If you're mining Ethereum with Nvidia cards yu're doing it wrong friend, use Nvidia for the right algorithm to decrease the ROI faster.
For instance try mining DGB Coin using Skein algorithm, you get paid in BTC and then exchange BTC to whatever coin you want to hold long term, My honest opinion.

How much of a difference per day in $$$ does it make do you think?

Search around for the hashrates and compare on

Is LBRY going to be decent for more than a month? Seems by far the best.
