I see. So is the Monero algo not very intensive on the graphics cards? When I used to run one on full load with scrypt algos they'd be chewing up a good 200-400W each card.

The nvidia 750 tis are very power resourceful. They don't even have a direct connection to the PSU, they draw all their power through the PCI-E slot, so they max out at about 50-60 W I think, but will typically draw more like 30 W with no overclocking. It might be break even to mine on AMD cards using claymore's miner, if you have low electricity rates, like < $0.10/kWh.

Not off hand, but its a mobile (laptop) version of the i7 and is about 4 years old so I don't expect high numbers off it. I'll have to try my desktop i7 later on.

Are you running two mining threads? According to wikipedia those should have 4 MB of L3 cache and work best with 2 threads.

Quote
I would boot up my old scrypt miner with my 7870's, but at a rate of only 0.25 XMR per card per day I may as well just buy the monero rather than mine it. I would really be happy with something along the lines of 5-7 XMR per day, but it doesn't look like 1-2 mining rigs could achieve that.

Buying rather than mining is very often a good choice.

If you want to build GPU rigs for XMR something with 6 750tis and a good CPU should mine almost 2 XMR per day, possibly a bit more if well optimized. It is possible to build AMD rigs that are much faster (700-800 H/sec per 290x) at higher cost and a tiny bit less power efficient but you will be using a closed source miner (Claymore): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638915.0

I am running wolf's miner without the AES-NI support. Getting 47 H/s with 7 threads and my CPU load is at 97%. 2 threads takes me down to 23 H/s

If you have a 4-year old mobile i7, try switching to 2 or possibly 3 threads.

As far as I can tell from wikipedia, all mobile i7s support AES-NI so you should be running a miner with AES-NI support, not without.

Wolf's miner with AES-NI automatically crashes when it loads the miner. I'll try 3 threads right now. 2 threads lowers me to 23 H/s

Strange. I wonder what CPU model that is.

Without AES-NI yes it is possible more threads will help but you are even less likely to be cost efficient mining with it.

7-10 threads all give me 47-49 H/s.

My cpu is a i7-2630QM 2.0 Ghz. That's all the info I have on it without using something like CPU-Z

"AES New Instructions: Yes"

I have no idea why Wolf's miner isn't working. If you can get a miner with AES-NI you should increase your performance a lot. That CPU has 6 MB L3 so you would want 3 threads with AES-NI.

Yes this was worth mining a few months ago. But now many of the linux miners started mining XMR and its no more profitable then X11

You could try yam miner: https://mega.co.nz/#F!h0tkXSxZ!f62uoUXogkxQmP2xO8Ib-g
For i7-2630QM you should download the Sandy Bridge version. You should enable large pages first (http://support.sisoftware.co.uk/knowledgebase.php?article=52) and restart your laptop. The default fee for the yam miner is 2%, but you could change it to 1%. If your RAM become fragmented you can't use the large pages, so make sure NOT to see an error when you start the miner: "Error: Can not allocate hugepages memory, error=1450", because you'll get lower hashrate.

I am not sure you will be able to find a tutorial on setting up a mining pool.

Unless you mean connecting to an existing pool in order to mine on it.

No, I meant some info on how to set up a pool myself.  For example where does one get the software from? 

Thanks in advance.

I just got started mining XMR via FREE Windows Azure trial.

So, some of you may be interested in doing the same.

They have Linux and Windows OS options.

$200/1 month Free Trial.

I hope you're on my pool then.

It is strange, I thought Microsoft was auto banning every mining attempt on Azure.
