Wow!
This CPU will be a powerful XMR miner.
Would this bigger 128GB RAM impact RandomX performance?
Post your buildup - this would be a monster XMR miner
Should do 25kh vs the 12kh my 3900's do.
goal will be
1 threadripper 3970x
1 ryzen 9 3950x
4 ryzen 9 3900x
six rigs with not much gpu action.
I think
3 gtx 1660's
1 amd 5700
1 gtx 1080ti
1 gtx 710 does not mine just to access screens on the ryzen 3950 build
I may sell the 1080ti hybrid soon
and the 3 gtx 1660's
use the amd 5700 with the thread ripper.
and I have a few gtx 710's which won't mine just give some graphics.
Phil I think this is freaking awesome, but from a financial point of view how can you justify this?
I know you have a unique electric situation, so lets say without even factoring electric -- you'll clear $1.33 a day ~.7 XMR a month? You could buy over 37 XMR instead O_o
Don't get me wrong, I love mining and look forward to seeing your results with this, but just curious to hear your thoughts here.
XMR developers have fought the good fight against asic's
I toss support to them. Also I am very careful about experimental and test builds that run at a loss.
Basically anything in my garage loses money but it show ways to build and keeps me in the loop.
So
My threadripper 1920x and mobo and cooler gone
My ryzen 7 3700x full plug n play gone
My ryzen 7 3800x full plug n play gone
4 amd vega 56 units gone
added 1 thread ripper 3970x plug n play
my sales of gear cost me zero to do the build
and I will drop power down to 300 watts vs 1500 as the sold gear was using a ton of power.
At this is possible due to the 2ph btc 12 gh ltc farm as that is fully paid for and I earn from that farm.
My home will run
4 ryzen 9 3900 400 watts
1 ryzen 9 3950 120 watts
1 threadripper 3970x 300 watts
Total 820 watts for summer mining I very likely will not make money with this cpu farm , but much of it has been created for no net cost due to selling other gear.
I still stand by my signature that alts are needed for cryptocoin to be mass adopted.
And to not have some alt coin cpu and gpu gear would be wrong. Even if it does not profit.
And all my gear will be new with decent warranty in the garage.
Do I advise anyone to buy 5 am threadripper rigs at 2-3k each out of pocket no.
Do I advise a guy with a lot of older gear to sell or swap to a ryzen xmr rig sure at least one rig.
I still have 6 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 18 gpus mining in rigs I split coins with.
So
I have the big Clifton farm I get a piece of pretty much certain medium profit. say .15 btc a month say 4 ltc a month profit. this is over 700 my share.
I have 18 gpus I get a piece of pretty much a certain small profit. say .02 btc a month profit. this is over 125 my share.
I will have 6 xmr rigs all mine in my home that kind of lose money or make very little.
This will cost 1440 kwatts of 17 cent power monthly may 1 to oct 31 that is 244 a month to earn about 150 in coin a 94 dollar loss.
I can do the following for years :
Spend 244 a month in power and bank 150 in coin. .................................. 6 x 94 = 564 loss
In the winter the power cost drops to 144 a month and I bank 150 in coin 6 x 6 = 36 gain
that means a loss of 528 a year
the gear was obtained by trading in paid for gear. so no true gear cost.
so if I lose 100 a year and have 6 killer rigs
and I earn on the other gear. 825 a month that is 9900 - 100 = 9800
Yeah I don't have to do it but I have 6 killer rigs all fairly new.
Yes I could have cashed in the old gear and not purchased the 6 xmr rigs
I would have maybe 6 or 7 k. which would not have a deduction against that gross income.
I have a wash since I purchased the new gear and mine with it. I am 63 once I am 66 if I choose I can alter my tax planning. Reduce the mining take more income by not rolling it into the mining.
