Autominer.at 13 gpu review

[philipma1957]

Received a demo model from autominer.at

has 13x 1060 zotac gpus


I have a lot more info  to post on it but I am tired and it is late.

https://www.autominer.at/generation3


my demo has zotac
I have a celeron 3930
it had 4gb ram I put in 16gb my one mod

Nice build neat and clean.  I am doing 3500 sols .

It is loaded with nice hash 2

I will post videos .

I got all 13 cards working

3500 sols  which  is = to 5 or 6 1080tis

Thank you very much for that first review! Also a little insider tip: If you leave the case closed while its running, the cards in the middle run a bit cooler and the whole unit is slighly more efficient due to the reversed 2x 200mm fans sucking the air out to the front.

Yes temps dropped a little that way.

So far I have it stable.  doing zcash only on nicehash.

I put my btc addy in the NH software you preloaded.

I made sure the cards mine not the cpu
I gave only zcash option .

Biggest suggestion is to place 2 pieces of foam inside case to hold the gpus during transit.

I will pull the celeron and put in an i5  because I like windows to have a better cpu.

If I program it to use smos  I can back off the ram to 4gb and the cpu to celeron

[TheYankeesWin!]

Phil  how is it running?

Is it up and hashing?

[philipma1957]

@ yankees so far so good.

I am going to move other rigs and this nicehash will be all  autominer.at


https://www.nicehash.com/miner/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje


all equihash will be Foxy  which is the autominer.at name

[bittawm]

Cool units - Well done Phil, Well done Autominer.

I would like to see under the hood pictures

I would like to see under the hood pictures

Same, I'm curious how it's pieced together.

No can do. But if you own one it could be copied.

Since they sent it upfront at zero risk to me it. Would not be right to reveal how it was done.

I think it could use ten Msi 1070 itx rather then 13 zotac 1060.

I also think it can do seven 1080ti

Most likely I am keeping it.

I think it could use ten Msi 1070 itx rather then 13 zotac 1060.

I also think it can do seven 1080ti

I started doing some research after seeing the product photos listed. I came to a similar conclusion after seeing the design of what I believe is the chassis used.

I wonder how much success they will have sourcing GPU's or will they experience the woes like Pandaminer has.

If they had them in stock though and I needed more rigs, I'd totally buy a couple of these if they operate well. There is a lot of time in the rigs I've built to date and I think I would save more if I would have spent more to get a turnkey rig that worked well.

Would be nice to see a proper review of the unit as shipped before you continue changing components (CPU, RAM, ETC) that YOU think would be better!

I only swapped ram for now.
 2 x 8 = 16
vs 1 x 4 = 4

so it came preloaded with the 3930?

This is very cool, always great to see more offerings like this in the space -- a plug and play one click miner could bring a lot of new users to mining which imo is good (more miners = more hodlers?) it's not always all bad xD

Interested to see some of your updates on this as I know you're extremely thorough!

yeah I have a new video  it is very quiet  and does pull some juice.

give me time to post it.

Now I have a prototype unit.

I have zotac 1060 3gb gpus.
I have a celeron 3930 cpu
it came with 4gb ram I did put in 2x 8gb sticks.  why I had easy access to do it and i have the sticks.
the cpu will not get upgraded for months to come.
swapping out cards will not happen for months to come.

better psu's may happen sooner may not.

In my minds eye I see it with 10 msi 1070 itx
and 2 corsair rm1000x psus.
16gb ram
and a i5 7400t cpu.

all that can wait

this is a good piece of gear I will be trying to reduce power and tweak it with software not gear.

So using  nicehash soft ware it does 3500 sols and pulls 1500-1600 watts

I went into nicehash software menu and removed the fan control from nicehash.
I downloaded msi afterburner.
I set 59% tdp
I set 95 core plus
I set 230 ram plus
I set fans at 80%

and sols dropped 10% but  power is now 980-1020 vs 1500-1600   this means you can run on a 15 amp usa circuit  since 15 x 120 = 1800 derate to 1440 watts

and 980-1020 is way less then 1500-1600

I will post new video.  in it you will see  some lag this is due to the celeron 3930  but since you won't be using the gear as a real pc you can go low cost with the celeron.  down the road I will upgrade it but that will be a while from now.

hang on I will post video in a bit  it shows the large watts  drop

second  nicehash set to do only zcash and it is controlling fans

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BobJrsFuSNA


nicehash set to do only zcash and msi afterburner has been tweaked

https://youtu.be/9a5zXdRMxxc




Now I have a prototype.

So I had 4gb ram ---------- my opinion is  4gb works good with linux smos nvoc not as good when you do windows

I had the celeron ----------- 3930  my opinion it works with linux better then windows

I have 2 bronze psu's  1000 watt and 800 watt    and I have to check the psu  more closely.

If you have 2 corsair rm1000x    they have 6 jacks  for pcie or cpu.  so 6+6-1 =  11 jacks for pcie

2 headed are  22 jacks.  that  makes for 11 1070's.  I would love to see a jacked version option

but I like this one a lot.  3130 sols at 1020 watts = 3.07sols per watt at the wall.

and well under 50db  nice!

[kryptolarz]

Great review like always, cheers!

[philipma1957]

Great review like always, cheers!

Thank you  I am liking this  more and more and will be selling off more cards to buy this after the demo.

[shibob]

Dear sir,

The miner box looks very compact so could you please share us what's temperature of GPu at your 59% tdp.
I'm afraid with just 60cm box, 13 GPUs are too much. Btw, I really like the design. If anyone could tear it down, it should be cool to see how they arrange everything.

tell you  what  it has been running for days now in a warm garage .

and New Jersey weather is warm today  55f  at 4 pm.

Give me 10 minutes I will take some photos of msi afterburner showing temps.

Nice Review.

So you are saying this Version (with the 13x 1060) is quiet enough so I could put 1-2 of them in my appartment and the surrounding neighbours would not complain?

Also do you know if they offer a version with 6GB GPUs?

In terms of sound: This is true of virtually every non-blower style GPU that is used for mining. Even with 100% fan speeds, gpu noise dwarfs the kind of noise asics make. I have had both running in my home before.

Yeah I had some L3+ and D3 at home, they are killer. But I also have a 6 GPU 470/570 rig at home and it's also not "quiet" (as to where neighbours might not hear it).

So I was wondering how much more quiet this was...

45 db at 8 feet   did you listen to it in my youtube video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BobJrsFuSNA

my best open case is 51db at 8 feet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIxWgv-rsuE


While I made most of the open rig and none of the closed case  in this review to be non biased

there is a close argument  as to which one is better.

This tells me they updated the fans in the chassis. Same thing I've done for my enclosed builds it's a must on that type and good to hear that Autominer has done that.

My mention of the GPU noise being quieter was in reference to open air builds I have.

[eleceng1979]

Phillipma,

How is the cpu utilization while mining?

I have a 13 gpu rig (7x1070, 3x1080, 3xrx570) on win 10 using a 3930 and it mines fine, but I use awesome miner, afterburner and a bunch of different mining software.  Just curious how the cpu load compares to mine.

I did find that the default monitoring update time in afterburner is aggressive and caused large cpu spikes, I backed it off to 10 sec intervals.

My cpu is underpowered as initializing a remote desktop or teamviewer instance drops hashing for about 2 or 3 seconds then picks back up.  Only with claymore's miners though.  My next rig will be a much better cpu.

Overall an impressive setup/design.  If gpu availability and pricing are good I can see these moving easily.

Dear  philipma1957

Can you make some pictures of the build . I want to know how they can build it with 13 gpus in this small case.

I can say this  if you own one and are handy you can copy it.  Since my deal is 2 months mining and the gear up front.  Then buy or return it. I am not disclosing how they did it.

As for the prototype it has 1060 3gb zotac's
it has the 3930 celeron
and it had 4gb ram.

Since the ram is easy to access  I put in 2 8gb sticks
The cpu lags I will look at the   cpu %  in a minute.

I am going to buy a case and build a copy down the road  but that will not be until late spring.

@ eleceng1979

I went to msi set polling to 5000 not 1000

I set cpu usage and it is 38% 44% for each core.

Translation mining with 13 1060 3gb cards and a celeron 3930  will work fine.
Do not except a fast pc under this setup.
I have a spare i7 6700t cpu that whispers to me let me run this gear.  Not going to happen maybe when I do a copy build I will try it.

I like this gear.

three of these racks would allow 12 units  four per rack

https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Tier-Wire-Shelving-Rack-82-x48-x18-Heavy-Duty-Layer-Steel-Shelf-Adjustable/152681610135?

see this shed

 https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-x-8-Gambrel-Wood-Shed/272700854575?

it would fit the 3 racks

12 x 3200 sols =  38400 sols of zec

you raise the shed on these

https://www.homedepot.com/p/6-in-x-6-in-x-12-ft-2-Pressure-Treated-Timber-6330254/100010238

buy 3 of these

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-1600-CFM-Power-Gable-Mount-Attic-Fan-EGV6/205924917

all exhaust

and since the racks come with 6 shelves and you only need 4 for each rack you have 3 left over

use 2 on the floor of the shed for intake

these fit 2 per rack.
you pull in cool shaded air.

you need 15000 watts to do it or  3x  30 amp circuits  with 240 volts.

with 2 guys that know how to work this can be done in a day .

and  if you want you could line it  inside with this

Hey everybody and thank you again for your great review philipma!

We just wanted to let you know that we have taken your advice and put a plan into action: All new Autominer Gen. 3 will be fitted with 8GB of RAM and a upgraded CPU.

As some of you may already know GPU´s are realy hard to come by right now, we have however managed to secure 130 NVIDIA GPU´s and are waiting for delivery, hopefully next week. In the meantime we decided to test a "entry level" version that will be quite a bit cheaper, we will update here once the prototype is finished!

We believe that only if entry into the crypto-space is easy and relatively cheap, the true spirit of decentralized currency can be sustained.

On a sidenote: We now also offer our units "barebone", just add cards! That way old/spare cards can be put into effective use with very little effort.

Nice update -- when can the barebone unit be purchased, can you elaborate on what Nvidia GPU's you have coming? base spec?

Had a quick look on the website but couldn't see the barebone option? What is the price

Also I know we can't see internals but the cards are using risers right?

No mobo has 13 full sized slots.  So that leaves risers as the option.

The bare bones idea is good.

As  stronger louder fans   could be used if you don't care about noise.

I still think 10x  1070 ti's may be best way to diy this

these are the same size as the cards in mine  210mm long

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500408


the ones in my rig
https://www.zotac.com/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-amp-edition#spec


the 1070 tis  could be set to 100tdp  should pull about 1100 watts at the K-watt meter

and we know 13 1060 fit  so 10  1070 ti would be a better fit.

I still think 10x  1070's may be best way to diy this

these are the same size as the cards in mine

the ones in my rig

There's a lot of people having problems with larger rigs/risers etc around that place mainly power related so I was looking at the 8 GPU riserless mobo from Octominer but if this is very stable and there's no issues with the mobo and risers then it could be a good alternative depending on price

[Autominer.at]

The Barebones unit is 2.000 Euro since the same work goes into building one of these as goes into a "full" unit, we simply substract the card price, we will add that option to the website this week (we are a bit overworked right now, we´re just a small team) 

I know that the 1070´s would fit as well, but we noticed that we get slightly more "bang for the buck" on the 1060 models, the 1070 is a bit overpriced imho but maybe that´s just in Europe?!

I received mine too. The miner is running smooth. As philip suggested, the ram should be 8gb and the cpu should be a bit better for windows.
3 gpus came broken and 1 is running at 200 sols for me, but that's DHL handling it badly. I'll file an insurance claim with DHL for that.

What i would suggest for autominer is for the gpus to be packed separately and not inside the unit.

It is good that it came.

yeah  the gpus needs be packed better within the rig.

or separate box.

did you get zotacs, evga or go the AMD route?

Oh I pulled the front grill and it is cooler .
I have nvidia set at 59% td  and all cards are under   70c

he has 2 fans in front one is stock thermal take 200mm the other is a different 200mm fan.

they pull 150 cfm + 130 cfm = 280cfm 

[Autominer.at]

Yeah we already ordered self-inflating foam packs to pack the cards in better so this shouldn´t happen anymore with the next batch! Thank you for your feedback, we get better every day thanks to you!

Quick question, how do you set Nicehash to only mine a certain algo?

[philipma1957]

Quick question, how do you set Nicehash to only mine a certain algo?

it is slow to do

as you need to do it for each and every gpu

13 of them  

and each gpu has about 15 choices to benchmark

I will photo it

start here click and all gpus along with cpu appear.
you do not do the cpu


here is next page
note cpu is not marked
go to right of this screen shot not visible do not click benchmark all click the arrow on the gpu 1 line



if you did it correct only gpu 1 appears  with lots of choices just do equihash the first choice and make sure the many other choice are left off
do this for all 13 gpus 1 at a time it will take more then 10 minutes I did each benchmark for only eguihash 13 times on quick setting

[Michael20]

Faster could be in Nicehash Legacy, you don't benchmark and only fill a hashrate in Is it in Nicehash 2.x not possbile?

It is possible.  I just have a lot going on that  I only tried to get this to run simply and effectively.
I just now set it to be on a seperate nicehash account

So Strange. I do not have the ability to check or uncheck algo in mining details. Im running the same NH as you.

are you running msi afterburner?

If you are  look for polling time  stock is 1000 

 this  slows all responses  as cpu struggles due to 13 gpus + intel gpu

set polling time to 15000

then the screen will respond  much faster.

If you need a photo of how to do polling time I can do that.



I found a good price  on a fully new case  with zero mods on newegg website it is in white  it is on a sale + a rebate.

 I purchased it for spare parts and to make a new build.

Updates  gear runs smoothly.  I pulled front grill off  and it dropped temps  2-3 c on every card as it allows for better air flow.


https://www.nicehash.com/miner/3QPFEdX8rtXHoVZHct5eUbp7AK1t1vRMfL

it does about 25-30usd  a day.  mining zec at nicehash.

I am using 25 kwatts a day = about 3 usd.

So I net 22 to 27 a day.  Roi is a ways off  maybe 250 days.  But all the gear is warrantied.  It is quiet.  So Pretty good.

That´s weird, it should be doing around 30 USD/day for a 5-6 month ROI without residual value...
If you take the residual value into account it should even be only 4 months... but 8,3 months seems a lot to me...
Are you mining ZCL or ZEC?

zec but I down clocked  to 60% tdp.  that dropped watts from 1500 to 1025  also dropped haste from 3500 to 3100

but 30% less power for 11% less hash is worth it to do.

[philipma1957]

Okay final post as the owner of this gear.  I sold it locally  to a friend of buysolar.

He saw it on youtube and said it was a good fit for his basement .


I like this gear  it was a smart design once I dropped settings on msi afterburner  I cut watts from 1500 to 1025  hashing at 3100 sols.

Works very well.

The builder autominer.at  is going to use an i3 vs the celeron  and use 2x 4gb sticks of ram vs 1x 4gb stick of ram/

I did 2 mods to it.  I went from 4gb ram to 16gb ram  since I had a lot of ram on hand.   It only needs 8gb.

It had 2 fans that are 200mm  one pulled 148 cfm the other pulled 128 cfm.

So I purchased a second 148 cfm fan  from newegg.

Do gpu runs over 70 c  in a 80f basement

Most run  at 58-62c in my friends basement.

Next time I pop over his place I will photo it.  If you can buy these I would say  it is good. especially if you are a builder your self as you could then make a second or third on for yourself.

I would love to have 10x zotac  1070ti minis in my copy build  vs  13x 1060 zotacs.

Of course no one can get cards but that is another story.  Maybe in the fall.
