[GTX 1060 x 4 + Corsair 500W ] Low Costs Miner - 100Mhs

[texgeek]

So Guys, i am a miner. And want share my experience mining using GTX 1060.

Total PCbs = 12 GTX 1060

I am a eletronic technical guy, and when start, checking specifications, to run that the Watts per PCB was ~140W , to 160W per PCB.

On My country , the price of eletrical resources is high. Really High. So impossible to mantain  ( 4 x 150W ) x3 , no profitable schema using that base.

So, i start some research about GPUs , Core of Processing, and others things to Check How much each PCB will really need to run.

Checking GPUz and others Softwares , that can check the Core GPU is using in real time and you can calculate exactly.

On My calculation. Just 65W is needed to run. So My base math :


1 PCB = 65W
4 PCB = 260W
Processor = Semprom 145 ( 60 to 100W minumum)
Motherboard = Gigabyte 970 ( 100w to 130w~)

Total Watts = 490W


So, my previos calculation , show to me , base ATX Watts was 800W to 1200W, (super higher), to 490W is a really Good cut.


I bougth a Coursair CX 500 ,  some adapters, a low sram 2GB , to run that.


My Rig showed above.

Using that configuration, i got some profit. Corsair like a fire always, super hot. But all good with PCBs.

I hope this help others miners on that bear market.
