    MSI Radeon RX 570 Gaming X 4G worth it?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 07:22 AM PST

    I have been kicking around the idea of doing some mining. I have been doing a lot of research and see a variety of builds and card types. I see certain cards perform better for certain coins (algorithms). At this point I am just looking for a generic build as I explore mining different coins.

    If cards were readily available and went on sale i would think it would be easier to pick the parts. From what i can tell cards are going MSRP if you can get them at all. Which leads me to my question.

    I have a two open PCI slots on home server and enough spare power to run 2 x 200w cards. My kwh rate is .1148

    This morning i received an email from newegg for a promotion to buy the MSI Radeon RX 570 Gaming X 4G for 209 + 20 MIR so $189.

    From what I read 4G will not have as much resale, it may consume slightly less power than the 8G card and the RX 5xx series cards in general are not that efficient. The alternative i was considering were Vega cards (stupid expensive and hard to find) or GTX 1070 cards which are 2x as much but don't seem to have 2x performance over the RX but use less power.

    A quick search on nice hash calculator shows:

    GTX 570 $51.45/m 1070 $74/m

    At some point if i find the mining fun and it keeps me in the black i could see expanding the 2 cards into a regular 6+ rig build.

    Thoughts?

    Mining with an array of semi-modern existing equipment

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:41 AM PST

    Previously I did a lot of Overclocking/benchmarking and have a variety of equipment laying around unused. E.G.

    8 core i7 5960X systems (2) 4 core i7 6700k sytems (4) 4 core i7-965 systems

    All systems have decent PSUs (Thermaltake 1200s), SSDs, etc. I also have a variety of GPUs laying around

    (2) AMD Vega 56 (3) GTX 970 (2) GTX 980 TI

    Anyhow with this variety I can cobble together at least 3 dual gpu mining systems it would appear from parts laying around the house. As a relative beginner and with this disparity in equipment is there an expectation that each rig would likely be better optimized for mining certain currencies vs others? Or is it easiest just to use NiceHash to cover all the bases.

    Was hoping for some insight from folks with experience.

    Thanks!

    Three PSUs?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 07:45 PM PST

    Is it ok to daisy chain three psu? I'm using add2psu. I assume it is, just want to make sure. It's for a 1080ti rig

    Need help choosing a server power supply and running desktop pc from it.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 11:21 PM PST

    I saw a few high capacity server psu's on sale and wondered if these can run a desktop pc and then came across videos where ppl were using those for gpu mining and I was wondering what are the things to consider when buying a server PSU to work like this.

    There are very high capacity platinum psu's available for very cheap and their prices are lower then HP PSU's (which was used in most similar videos) and I thought if it's all the same why not mod the other brands psu's in a similar fashion.

    New rig on wire metal shelving. What should I have under my motherboard?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 02:23 PM PST

    I can't imagine it's wise to have a motherboard sitting on a wire rack- What do you normally put under them if there isn't a specific place for the risers to screw into the frame?

    Mining Rig with a 5K Budget?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 08:13 PM PST

    Hey guys, I got a budget of around 5k and I want to build a mining rig, electricity isn't really a problem but if the cards aren't power hogs it'd be nice. I know about building pc rigs (built 3) but i know nothing about which gpus are the best for mining. I would be using this to mine Electroneum mostly. Thanks for the help

    Ok, the dual PSU powering the GPU/Riser/Motherboard thing is getting annoying.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 06:36 PM PST

    I know there is a statement HERE. To me, the verbiage used to explain what to do is confusing. I think it says, power the risers and GPUs off of one PSU and the SSD and motherboard off of another one. I have also seen diagrams that say use one PSU to power the graphics cards and another PSU to power the risers, SSD, and motherboard. Then I see tons of posts saying it does not matter, only if the GPUs are ground isolated (with no information on how to check). Lastly, I had seen a post where they said: " Don't worry about how you power it, those concerns come from 2012-2013 when people were using ribbon risers for their GPUs."

    Does anybody have a deeper understanding of how and why and when to power the various components on a multi PSU rig? Not "oh I do this and its fine." What components are used in the system? Even pictures if possible. Then hopefully make this thing stick in ALL "your first mining rig" blogs so we as a community can clear up the misinformation? :-)

    Nicehash Inquiry / Thoughts

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 10:50 AM PST

    Cards: 1x gtx 960, 1x gtx 1070.

    So i notice i tend to have the highest earnings per day by the real time estimator on the miner while mining equihash. Why is it that sometimes i notice it will throw my 1070 over to dagger or some other algo (which drops me down to like 2.5 per day estimated)? It's not that there is no equihash to mine cuz i simply stop my miner, bench everything except equihash and click start again and im back up to a higher earnings so obviously my miner wasn't in fact mining the highest possible earnings algo. I understand i can set a limit to not mine below but if Nicehash sets my miner to the most profitable, why is it throwing me into some other algo's at less profit. Is this simply because "somebody" has to mine it? or because my minimum is at like 2.00 so it will accept any job? But once again, this goes against the "nicehash rule" of mining the most profitable algo. Not a huge deal just looking to get opinions on this.

    Lots of talk about mining rigs or single pc's for mining; anyone mining with multiple pc's over 4 years old?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 05:07 PM PST

    I have noticed almost everyone talks about their mining rig(s) or gaming pc's mining on the side. DAE have a hodgepodge of computers set up for mining?

    I ask because while I am one of those people with a gaming pc and mining with a couple of gpu's, I have two older computers lying around that could accept a new gpu and make some money. I enjoy repurposing cheap/free hardware and seeing what other people can make do with.

    I know running multiple pc's with one graphics card may not be ideal, considering they are adding to the total power cost. But has anyone tried this?

    Anyway my thinking is I have an old 2006 pc that can accept a card under 10" long (currently a gtx 660) and a 2013 dell that might fit a 1050ti. While I would love to build a solid 6 gpu rig in my basement, it doesn't feel worthwhile to spend the extra $400+ for a mining mobo/cpu/psu/ram combo. But buying a couple cards for existing pc's in the next few months seems more reasonable.

    Anyone have any thoughts/ideas/experiences?

    6 Pin to Sata or Y Splitter for riser cables

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 10:46 AM PST

    I can purchase 3 Y splitter to power up 6 riser cables or use 6 pin to Sata cable that came with the riser.

    For sata, it's going to have 2 risers connected to 1 sata cable to the psu. Hence, I would need 3 cables coneected to psu to power up SATA cables.

    Thank you!!!

    Motherboard PCI-E molex when Riser with molex connected

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 02:23 PM PST

    As the title indicates, is it necessary to plug the molex to the MB if the risers already have the molex connected. board is BioStar TB250-BTC

    could i turn a profit with an old gtx 770?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 10:18 AM PST

    have an old MSI gtx 770 2gb lying around from an old build and i was wondering if it would be profitable to use. Cant seem to find much information on my card elsewhere. Sorry for the noob question.

    New motherboard vs Riser?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 11:45 AM PST

    So i have a 1080 right now on my B350M-A mobo. I want to buy 1 or 2 new GPUs so i thought going for risers at first, but right now i already have one PCI x1 slot closed because of my 1080, i only have one slot of PCI open for 1 GPU. I also read a lot about how some Molex and SATA Risers are dangerous- fire hazards. So i'm thinking about changing motherboard, not to take risk and be able to put even more GPUs easily on future. So my question is: New motherboard or Riser? If new motherboard, as far as i know only GA-AB350-Gaming 3 has got 3 PCI-E slots, so should i go for it or a cheap X370 with 3 PCI-E slots?

    By the way: I'm not thinking about new motherboard because of some Risers being dangerous, i'm just thinking about getting a new mobo because of i need more slots and which motherboards are compatible.

    Computer keeps restarting

    Posted: 29 Nov 2017 11:38 AM PST

    I am about 4 weeks into mining. I ordered two 1070s and built them into a computer that has just been sitting around. I haven't had any problems until yesterday. Up until this point they ran 24/7 with settings at +855mem +105core clocks at 70%power limit on afterburner. Highest temp I have seen on the gpus was 69c and highest cpu temp was ~50c.

    Until yesterday when I cut off the mining. I updated nicehash miner version (v2.0.1.5) and ran a windows update. Now I am noticing that my computer is just restarting on its own. Doesn't seem to be isolated to mining nor the clock speeds as it has restarted itself with running base clocks..

    I have yet to roll back windows updates nor have I tried it with nicehash. Any chances it could be something unrelated to the updates? I have checked connections from psu to all components and everything seems sturdy.

    1. What harm do intermediaries do to the progress of the world
      We have already talked about how intermediaries harm producers and buyers of products. The negative impact on production chains, which is exerted by intermediaries, is great, and it must be eliminated.
      However, these questions arise quite often. They affect a narrow circle of people. And if we limit ourselves to the consideration only of such problems, it seems that the mediators cause very limited harm.
      However, it is not so. The fact is that intermediary activities stifle the entire world economy and hinder technological progress.
      Judge for yourselves, today there are many manufacturers who want to produce new products. They have a desire to improve the world and give customers something new, to promote technological progress.
      But no manufacturer will do this if it does not make a profit. And the income will appear only when there are consumers.
      To find out whether the market needs products, the manufacturer begins to conduct market research. And that's where the problems start.
      The fact that intermediaries today occupy a position that allows them to dictate the parameters of products for suppliers. The opinion of the intermediaries replaces consumer preferences. Intermediaries are closer to the manufacturer than end-users. And companies that produce products communicate with intermediaries.
      And those, in turn, are absolutely not interested in technological progress. They are satisfied with the current state of Affairs: they do not do anything useful, but get a stable income. At the same time, they are well aware that technological progress can knock the soil out of their feet. And they strongly discourage it.
      Good to make it very simple. It is enough to inspire the manufacturer that innovative products are not in demand by the market and will not be sold. The company, which produces products, does not want to work at a loss, and will postpone the implementation of the project until better times.
      But there is a demand for new products! However, information about this does not reach the manufacturer. Fortunately, today there are decentralized platforms for P2P-interaction. Using these platforms, the manufacturer will receive reliable information about the needs of the market from those who form this market - consumers. Ultimately, this will lead to breakthrough innovations and new developments in mass access.
      One of the first such developments was the Yodse platform. This is a unique decentralized space for interaction between consumers and manufacturers. Yodse users will be able to contact each other directly and work without third parties.
