Happy days, i just ordered the mobo for my first altcoin rig :-)
Do you know the spec you are going for yet? I really need to try and figure out a good rig for mining vert. Hi there, Yes, i am going for the following mobo- Asrock 970 extreme 4 AMD Sempron 145 cpu r9 280x x3 psu -Seasonix x series 1250w '80 plus' 8 gb ram Then will throw in one of the 250gb hd's i have laying around (running windows) And i will have to work out a crate/frame/ etc to put it in And put a power switch on it somehow- Any advise here? Are you using 3 GPUs? 1250w is a lot. I would go with a FX cpu with that AM3+ socket on that mobo. They're cheap enough to justify the cost. You can cpu mine at the same time you are GPU mining. I got quite a few Max coins on the FX, and even a couple on an old Phenom ii. Hi there, i open to advice, will look at the FX cpu, seems sensible to mine on the cpu at the same time tbh. What psu would you reccomend for the 3 GPU'S? i was just under the impression, the more power the better, but if i can save some cash, i'm happy to listen! 1250w is fine if you're going to run 3 gpus. I always checkout http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/ for things like PSUs. They tear down parts and figure out who is using good components and who is using shit. There are only a couple manufacturers that make the PSUs for every company in the world, so make sure the model you're getting is made by a decent one. Never use crap like a Rosewill, especially for a mining rig. The PSU is the one part that can kill your cards and CPU. Thanks for the help, one other question, will i need powered risers for this set-up, if so could you post a link for reccomended ones, i have heard horror stories regarding these? I would skip those for the time being. They aren't needed unless you are having heat or space issues. Build your rig, run it for a few days, and go from there. No point in over complicating things, especially if it's your first build |

You asked about putting a power switch on the board, so I am assuming you aren't using a case. You shouldn't have any heat issues if your house is airconditioned and you point a little fan at them. Also, you can turn the computer on and off without a switch. You just have to jump it with a paperclip or something. |

Will build it in an open rack type thing, and put a fan over it, and see how that goes. |

Will build it in an open rack type thing, and put a fan over it, and see how that goes. I lived in London for a few years, so I know what you mean. Keep an eye on the temps. Playing with the config files and a slight underclock can do wonders sometimes. The underclock sounds counter productive, but sometimes the trade off of a few KH/s is worth lowering the temps. Good luck with the build! |

Seriously, come join any P2Pool. You'll get most of your hashes and straight to your wallet. No risk of pool downtime/owner run. Choose one or two with lowest ping URL is address on that scanner, username your VTC address, random password. http://scanner.etyd.org/ |

i have been crying here several times how p2pool was not consistently paying me. i would get on the payout list and all of the sudden i would be off it, even though i kept mining throughout.
i decided to create my own node and see what happens. i have mined all night last night, and not once did i get off the payout list. i have consistently been getting payouts, FOR EVERY BLOCK!
if you are getting shit results from p2p, just create your own node! i run mine on virtual box instance of linux. it was a bit strange setting it up but once i got it up and running, it has been smooth sailing with P2P!
one thing i noticed is that my miner shows a SHIT TON of HW and zero WU. i thought it was a problem, but the payouts are coming in so maybe it something with my node config. if anyone could shed some light on this, i would be grateful. i am the only miner on my node, if that helps.
Does anyone have a solo mining profitability calc for VTC? |
