My 1st Ethereum Mining Rig

[Nix94]

Hi this is my first mining rig that i build so i just want to ask you guys what do you think about my rig. Iam planing to build one more with 8 GPUs if i can find the same one
Iam using Windows 10 PRO 64 bit and Iam mining on Claymore miner on ethmine.org pool. I was thinking to switch to Simple Miner but so far everything is good so i will keep mining on Windows. The only problem that i had during this build was the faulty Riser.
So here is some pictures from my rig and my config on the pictures you will see only 5 GPU that is because i had some problem with the seller. But i ordered one more and it one the way should be here in like one or two days

http://prntscr.com/hslk1w
http://prntscr.com/hslk7l

So this is what i have
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A
CPU: Intel Celeron C3900
RAM: PNY Anarchy X 8GB
SSD: Kingston 120GB
PSU: EVGA 1000 GQ
PSU2: EVGA 650 GQ
GPU: 5x(for now) Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 8GB (Samsung Memmory)

I modded the bios setting for this cards and here is my overclocking
http://prntscr.com/hsldar
http://prntscr.com/hsldgk

The temperature is around 50C with fan speed around 70%
http://prntscr.com/hsle3i

And my Hash Rate is around 31MH/s
http://prntscr.com/hslenp
http://prntscr.com/hsllsq

My Power consumption is around 820KW/h on this picture is around 840KW/h because i hooked up my monitor on the same plug
http://prntscr.com/hslkfr

So is there anything that i can change to improve .
PS Iam using Wireless adapter

Looks great! I was thinking about doing an amd build for my next rig. How are the earnings so far?

[Nix94]

So i spend around 2700$ on this build and iam just starting with mining this is my second day of mining so i dont have any number yet that i can confirm . I was thinking to build same one with same GPU but i cant find them any more or they are too expensive i bought this card at 370$ now they are 500$ so i would say go with RX  480 if you can find them

Fan speed are too high for me. I set Temp to be around 65 in the bios so Fan are slower around 33%. I think is better for fan life support ^^
Plus if during winter your fan are 70% imagine in summer...

Good config by the way

[Nix94]

Thank you for the tip i will change that

[bouldou]

Nice job, this is really clean and your mining speed is great ! Seems well optimized

I have one question though : how could this cost you 2700$ ? This is way too much... Did you build it by yourself ?

[Nix94]

Yes i build it myself

Well i wasnt sure about the second PSU i bought only 1 from 1000W but then i was reading on the internet and they were saying that is better to go with 2 PSU because the power consumption is decreasing by 5% and your PSU can live longer but here is the price

GPU 6x370 = 2220
SSD 60
PSU 160
PSU2 82
RAM 70
CPU 40
RISER 60
MOTHERBOARD 84

There is only 5 GPU for now but iam waiting for 1 more

Congrats to your mining rig!.

I have a few questions if you don't mind.

Did you use the SSD because you had it laying around or you actually had a reason for it? Same question for the 8GB ram.

I was thinking of building something similar to you, and am very interested in keeping everything to the lowest power usage with exception of the GPU's, in short, cpu/mb/mem heat/power usage to the lowest possible.

Also what PCI you're using on your rack? Would you have a link from where you got those from and their price at the time?

And good luck on your build!

[Nix94]

No i used SSD cause it is much faster then HDD because when i was building this i restarted my rig a lot of times and i didnt want to waste my time waiting for my Windows and all programs to boot but you can use HDD its up to you. I forgot to mention that SSD is using less power then HDD because there is no moving part inside.

For the power usage i dont know because i will need to take all the GPU to measure that.

And with the last question are you asking me for PCI Risers
Here is the link from PCI Risers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073LNKTBD/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=buriedone-20&ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&linkId=0a10c1123b37e255d16afc6d740830d7

If this is not what you was asking can you explain because English is not my 1st language

If you mine ethereum, the power used is quite high. You can try to mine monero or cryptonight ranges of coins, they are less power demanding.

[Carrody]

what coin do you mine? Ethereum? What is your profit and hashrate?

[ikicha]

Good and welcome to mining community :v

so, why you say Ethereum Mining Rig?
You only mining Ethereum with 121 TH/s Net Hash?
haha, why you forget others altcoin?

[ChipsSlave]

Looking really good!

Here are few questions.
Have you flashed any of your cards?
What drivers are you using? AMD Crimson block chain or regular newest drivers? As with the same card on my system I cant reach the speeds close to yours using regular non block chain drivers.
Did you work on specific windows settings?

[Nix94]

what coin do you mine? Ethereum? What is your profit and hashrate?

Yes i mine Ethereum and my hashrate is around 31 MH/s per card iam only mining like 3 days
Here is my Estimated Earnings from ethmine.org

This is with 5 GPUs

Well iam mining only Ethereum,iam new to this but maybe i will switch later on to mine something else and i think that ETH price will go up in the future iam not looking in selling it now

Yes i flashed all of them i copy timing from 1:1750 and paste it on 1:2000

Here is the driver that iam using http://prntscr.com/hsyc8d


And i used this to tweak my windows https://mega.nz/#!8gZzjQaa!Dt4wE0WEo8nZkui_-cAAXL4mb4YlO6CJgFZTXKq9pnQ

and also i increased my Virtual Memory
INCREASE VIRTUAL MEMORY
In search type “This PC“, right click on it and choose “Properties“
Then click on “Advanced System Settings“
On “Advanced” tab where it says “Performance” click on “Settings“
Click “Advanced” tab
At the bottom you will see “Virtual memory“, click on “Change“
1. Uncheck “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives“
2. Check “Custom size“
3. In the “Initial size (MB)” type: 16000 (or directly 16000)
4. In the “Maximum size (MB)” type: 20000 (or more like 20k)
5. Click “Set” , then “OK” and “Apply“
Restart the rig

Hi, very nice first post!

Your next mission is to learn about undervolting

Have a look at MSI Afterburner and/or OverdriveNTool

I was thinking to switch to Simple Miner but so far everything is good so i will keep mining on Windows.

The great thing is you can try it for free on Simple Mining OS. And also great you can put on USB drive and test out.   I would test it out for 2 dollars a month it is a bargain.  I have switched any rig with more density to it.  Once you get rig groups set up to possible coins you will mine you will love it.   Although if your mining straight Ethereum at all times you will not benefit from this feature to much.

I still have a few rigs on windows but on new rigs I don't even order a SSD and go straight to Simple OS on usb stick and save just a little with doing this.

free advise: plug your cable, do not use Wireless adapter.
