Pictures of your mining rigs!

[kingcolex]

2 years ago, this picture made me crazy, but now, i just think 'bout the guy, who must had a lot of trouble for selling all this stuff...

But it's nothing, i remember the pic of the guy in his garage, with a damn lot of GPU's and the caption "I've made a huge mistake"

Not exactly, some coins are still profitable for gpu mining and the hardware is a lot easier to resell and holds value longer.

Do you have math to show this?   I was struggling at end of my GPU day's to make more then electricity.  I was better off and I parted all my GPU systems out.

I have one sitting doing nothing still I kept.  It's a small  unit compared to the 5 and 6x GPU machines I was using.

Just boxed up Corsair CX750M's and pulled the stock fans out of the S5's. Replaced those with Corsair SP120 fans. Replaced PSU's with an evga 1300G2 Supernova.

Right now window cracked open - running cold air intake mode! Once I figure how they will rest will secure them then get on that red cable management. What a mess.

Couldn't be happier with the new fans or the new power. Love these machines, especially now that they are liveable and silent compared to stock.

I ran the SP120 High performance on my S5's and they couldn't cut it. Ambient temps were about 65F and the temps went straight to 65 or higher. Soon as the warm weather sneaks in, those fans will not be able to cool it sufficiently. I opted for the Noctua NF-F12 3000. Used two of them on each S5 and brought the temp back down 10 degrees. A lot less noise than stock fan, but not silent either. In between, but dooable in situation.
Good luck!

Winner winner chicken dinner! The SP120's work when it is cool outside and that air is useable. When I stuck my hand to the back of the miner with the SP120 it was pretty clear there was not much air being pushed out the back. The noise reduction is so worth it.

So! Had issues with the used S5s I bought. Basically they had been to Bitmain before for issues, continued issues which were passed on to me. So... one machine should be back tomorrow, fingers crossed it is good to go.

Have my PSU's and miners right where I want them. Did not want to molex in and start adding fans. Have picked up / arriving soon a 4x Rotary AC powered fan controller. Plug 3 or 4 pin directly into it, 12v with 1amp per fan max, total of 2.8amp across the 4 fans. Have 15 fans behind me that will be picked and added. Looks like:

Scythe 1200 rpm 69 CFM fan at 24dBA to replace the stock in one S5
Rear fans - On the controller will add 2x Scythe 3k rpm and 1x San-Ace 3k rpm. Can spool those up as needed. I posted a pic of my old S1 setup with the exhaust being pushed outside. Plan to build a shroud and have these S5s dump heat right outside once the weather starts sticking in the 70s.

I love it as I get to take my stuff apart again and rewire. Want it clean! I did add a cutting board underneath to help with airflow at bottom. No major difference there.

more pics in a few days!

The continual development of new algorithms for GPU's seems to not let them die out. The concept of GPU mining seems to be a self perpetuating fantasy empowered by the GPU miners themselves.

If you live where electricity is cheap, eg. USA/China/etc then you may still be able to make a profit versus electricity cost but to turn a profit and pay for your investment is another matter. Most places around the world though it is simply impossible to make a profit. Another factor to consider is the time and effort setting up GPU systems and ensuring they are stable with the endless new algos. This takes a lot of time and time is money for most people. IMHO better to get a rock solid ASIC and mine with cheap electricity if it is available and see what comes of it.

Well from my calculations in the USA you can't swing it (esp if with new purchased gpu cards) at 12c usd kwh.....so I've no clue how anybody can do this and break even.
feel free to enlighten us on here

Well I don't think that GPU mining can survive, just as it didn't on Bitcoin. People can keep developing newer algorithms for GPUs, but eventually ASIC miners will come out for them.
I guess it comes down to a race of who can adapt faster. GPU mining is inefficient and should die.

if we can post gpu rig too, then this was mine, a year ago then i sold it, too bad it was a cool little rig

Why did you put them so close to each other? That's actually quite bad because of the airflow.
Mine were put at maximum distance that the riser cables allowed.

because they were 750ti, only 50 watt each, they don't need a large distance like amd card, and they weren't so hot btw

Why a n-vidia rig  ??

750ti is pretty efficient in some matters of hashing. Or, well.. they were some time ago like a year or so?

I think the same.  I just never could get math to work at this point.  It seems like your losing money on GPU's.

It seems to me you are going to make more parting out and buying BTC then you ever would running the GPU.  Again I hope I'm wrong and would love to see math on it.

Well currently a 280x gets $0.24 profit on the top current gpu coin @.06$/w (my current rate .07$ summer), this has to also take into that the cards released January 9, 2012 and can still pump out profit and be resold at 30% original release date price.

When I talk about ROI.   Old GPU cards don't really count as no one can replicate.  I'm talking about a buying parts, and setting it up and making a profit.   It still sounds like .24 cents you cannot build a machine and mine.  And if you parted out you would pay for hundreds of day's of mining.

i want mining ridges..dam why i dont have money.

True, Personally I just built a rig recently because I enjoy mining (weird I know) and am actually not doing the coin shuffle to stay on the highest profit and trade it but just mining dash directly. I am one of those crazies who think that there may end up being a couple valuable coins and with Bitcoin as a Gold standard but Dash as a viable coin as well. (I know I would get more Dash if I just did the shuffle)

Did you research recent news about bitcoin mining? It's already gone era of mining rigs.
You won't profit from GPU rig anymore, it's already ASIC era for quite long time.

Are you assuming he is mining Bitcoin? Because that would be a terribly bad assumption.

In the making.... Wil probubly not use the S1 ones.

What are those? KNC Jupiter modules? or Neptunes?

Yes it´s KNC Jupiter 6 modules.
