I successfully build my first rig

I have too many failure with risers in a week, one gpu will become invisible in hiveOS after two days of mining none stop, I am getting tired of risers and I have make up my mind to upgrade to riserless motherboard.

I used to have problems with risers, but it was a long time ago, I think v1 risers
But I'm using good versions, they are reliable for me, more than 1 year without any single problem. No headaches, no off-line time
Sometimes you can get a bad batch and it's hard to return, because sellers are in China most of times.
This is the ones I'm using:

Direct mining motherboards with no risers are the best, they are very close to how you will plug a Asic miner and never look back, I only do updates on hive OS with riserless motherboard, no reboots or downtime.

yeah my 14 cases from minerdude are close to perfect up time.

this is very important to me as the trip is 140 miles or 200 kilometers round trip.

I use smos and have had really good success with them.

I use a riser here and there in my house on small rigs.

they are not as stable as the 12 12 cards slot rigs or the 2 8 slot rigs.

I do not rule out riser rigs but I don’t  use them very much.

Still i can see use for a riser here or there but not for me and the close to 200 cards I have.

I love that Asrock H510 Pro BTC that I got some months ago,I have put 4 cards directly in it because the other cards I have in another rig and it runs perfectly,cards running cool even in an open air rig like the one I have but when having 6 cards in here a closed case is the best option or as a minimum you should have additional cooling for the cards which is the cheaper option.I strongly agree with riserless motherboards being really stable and without problems,at least I didn't encounter any so far and I am not even running Linux but Windows 10.

I bought some rx580 graphic cards from China for 120$ each and I successfully build my first rig, thanks to YouTube video it's not that hard like I've imagined, after placing the order my mind is plagued with thoughts of messing things up



The only issue I am having now is the hashrate number, I am getting 27MH from the graphic cards each and a friend rx580 rig is getting 31MH, any ideas of what I can do next? I am running HiveOS.

Nice build, I don't think I will ever spend money on Radeon RX580s again but with free electricity this graphic card isn't that bad at all, we still don't know what will happen after Eth merge so I think building rigs right now is very risky but if things go well then it's all for the best, happy mining.

I'm wondering what would happen to all crypto miners right now, how are you guys coping with the situation.

Most miners are in denial mode.

I have shut down my rigs but I am not going to sell the equipment and liquidate everything.It also look like a bad timing for Nvidia which will most likely present tomorrow the 4000 series,at least this is what I assume because they have said in their instagram official page that the unbounded is coming,I believe this to be the 4000 series.

As for the rig it is not worthy even if someone has free electricity with those Rx 580 cards will do like 0.50 dollars daily in mining ETC which many people are mining now,the same return with many other coins so we should be in study mode now,looking what is going on around and why not grab a few additional cards for really cheap,as prices have fallen down dramatically since after the merge.

Epic Cash miners are profitable and happy.

Miners will get tired at some point, today the ETH PoW hashrate on poolin have started dropping, those who cant withstand this temporal pain will have to sell their rigs and quiet everything, I like your idea of not selling your rig.

Where is the proof? Do Epic Cash has any mining calculator presently? The last time I checked this project out it lacks trading volume, you can drop link if you have any, no calculator shows that Epic cash is near profitable, only Aeternity and ETC are topping the chart now.

I unassembled one rig that I built in 2018. It was hosting 10 580s. It was a sad moment but feels like it is time to move on.
