My GPU mining evolution

[rthrz]

Hi guys, i make this to say thank you to all the smart users in this community who help me to build all my rigs sharing their knowledge.

I live in south america, in mi country electricity it's not cheap (0.16 - 0.20 KWH), especial equipement like GPU and Motherboards are not very cheap neither (10% - 30% more than in USA) so i have to fight for them, I started in this world just for fun.

So 1 year ago i didnt know anything about crypto so i bought a Bitmain Antminer s5, big mistake i had 0 profitability.

Then i build my first rig whit 1 GPU rx 470 sapphire (not available in my country)

With the ETH of that single card  i bought another card and i built a frame

Finally 5 months ago i finished my first rig with 6 GPU (the only rx470 model that i could find in my country)

So i said " i have 1 i can  make it 2", and i bought more gpus and i built a 7 GPU rig

Not fancy i know, now i'm addicted to mining and i build 7 rigs.

Well, now i decided to stop building and try to help to another users who wants to mine, my rigs are a little stable but im  still fighting with some of them.

And this is my hashrate with one of them.

That's really awesome. How much is that collection of rigs able to make you in a month?

Are you focusing purely on ETH?

yes, i dont like dual mining because is too much draw energy,but im thinking to lead 1 rig to ETC or ZEC

I'm setting up the same with 2 MSI Z170a boards and 13 GPUS. Will look just like your 2nd row on that pic. Do they have a heat problem being that close together? Doing the same rack too.
