There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

1800 + 2% = 1836 .. Mobo Taichi = 300 cost = 2136 cpu cooler = ............ I have stuff on hand 2x16gb > 32gb 1tb NVME ssd case psu gpu all on hand it is very tempting to be state of the art |

If you want to get one to play with... sure, go for it. If you don’t like it, you can probably flip it and get most of your money back. But from a mining ROI standpoint, you know it’s not going to be worth it. Even if it does 2k CN, I could buy 8 RX 5xx (used) for the price of 1 chip and get 6-7k hash pretty easily.

not using under 250 watts  But I did decide to buy the taichi x399 from newegg today it will allow the 1950x or the new beast 2990wx. I got multiple promos on the mobo 319 + 20 tax = 339 - 25 pay with master pass = 314 - 40 rebate = 274 - 50 dollar gift card promo = 224 -3 = 221 which is cheap for that board. |

It should do 2.4K on Monero, 8x an 8 core Ryzen. Lower clocks (across all cores) at stock but in my experience with 2 different Threadrippers is that they hash 20-25% over a Ryzen core to core ratio at the same clocks.... so they might do even better. I'd be careful about overclocking on that x399 Taichi. It's a great motherboard but it's not designed for 250 watts like the second generation TR4 motherboards. I'm confident it will be ok at stock clocks, but I wouldn't overclock it.  |

Overclocking is a never a good thing for cpus like this, back in 2008 when i bought the i7 920, people were overclocking and overvolting, I overclocked and undervolted hehe, that cpu consumed almost 500 watts overclocked, 300w idle. If you luckily hit the silicon lottery then you can undervolt it and keep stock clock, cost wise this is not for mining.

This is just to say mine is bigger then yours I have always had very good CPUs but never a true state of the art pc. I am tempted to do it. |

My-My! That's state of the art hardware you got there. Which case is that? Thermaltake? |

I built two pc with and for buysolar (my solar array partner) last year. One has the 1950x ripper with four 1080tis and a 2tb ssd and 64gb ram the other has an intel i9-7980 xe i think 2 1080tis a 1tb ssd and 64gb ram. my best pcs in my house have ryzen 1800x ryzen 2700 So when I see how the beasts work for buysolar I am thinking of scaling up myself. |

I got 3 parts so far
the taichi mobo at 224 with all coupons
2x 16gb ram at 220 with coupons eBay 15%
1tb nvme m.2 at 240 with coupons eBay 15%
I have a cooler
I have a case
I have a psu
I have 1080ti's
So do I cheap out and buy a 1920x for 404 with eBay 15% off
and wait till I find a deal on the 2990wx
Still would be the best pc I ever owned
and only 1085 out of pocket.
The eBay sale ends in 6 hours
404 for a new 1920x vs 1799 for a new 2990wx yeah it is better but not so sure about 1395 better.

I think you’d be better served going with the 1920 and using the leftover to get another 1080ti... just my thoughts...

The 32 core 64 thread beast is amazing, but at the initial price I don't think it's worth it when compared to getting a first gen TR 1950X at a third of the cost (maybe less with a good sale). If you have a good use for that many threads then the 2990X might still be worth it... or if mining Cryptonight based coins gets a big profitability boost for a few month it would help allot to offset the bigger price. Either way you would have an absolute monster rig for any purpose you can think of.
