    How much does temperature affect cost of electricity?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 06:12 AM PST

    I've got a 12 card rig, it has been sitting at around 75 degrees for the past few weeks (winter here lol), and I was wondering how much electricity costs I would save if the temperature went to say 30 degrees.

    There is a wine cellar in my house, but nobody in my household really drinks wine, so I was wondering if it'll be even worth the bother to move my rig to the wine cellar where temperatures (during winter) sits at around -5 to 10 degrees.

    Thanks

    Question about single pcie cable powering 2 rx 580

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 12:05 AM PST

    Hi guys

    My psu is a tx850 which has 2 pcie cables that splits into 4 6+2 connector, I ran out of pcie cable to power a 3rd rx 580.

    Is it safe to power 2 rx 580 with a single pcie cables that split into 2? Or should I use 2 x 6 pin to single 8 pin, powered by the 6+2 from each pcie cables?

    Tiny low cost cutsy rig

    Sanity Check! Some of the things I read on this sub scare the living **** out of me.

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 08:04 AM PST

    I have only been mining 8 weeks. GPU mining for 6 weeks. I've been an IT consultant and electronics enthusiast for 20+ years. I don't know everything, but I know a thing or two.

    Some of the advice I have seen provided to others is downright dangerous, and merely provided on the basis of "Well it works for me!".

    Some of the people I have encountered who ask for advice seem to already know the answers and when you try to advise them otherwise, you're still wrong.

    SATA

    There are people on this sub who still use, and advocate the use of, SATA connectors as the sole method of powering their risers. It WILL work. It WON'T burn your house down. *** UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ***. What about the abnormal conditions. Did you take those into account when you made your decision?

    What could constitute an abnormal condition, here are two I have thought of, but I am sure the list is by no means complete.

    1. Your power supply is multi-rail and a rail fails that is supplying the power to the PCIe cables. Any decent PSU would shutdown at this point. How many of you are using cheap power supplies? If your PSU doesn't shut down then the system will keep on running with that/those cards now trying to get as much power from the riser as it/they can. Even if the card follows PCIe specifications then it will be drawing 75w from the riser. More than a SATA connector can safely handle. Now you have a problem. And if the card doesn't follow PCIe specifications then your problem is greater.

    2. You have a 2 PSU rig and you have accidentally split the power to a riser / gpu between them. Same rules as example 1, but instead of a rail failing, the power supply failed, or the fuse blew (for those whose countries have them) or that power supply was unplugged accidentally. Now you have a problem.

    OK. So in those examples, it doesn't take one thing to go wrong, but a few, but airplanes crash because 12 events happened in sequence, not just two.

    POWER

    I guess some people live in countries where this is not part of their "code of works". I live in the UK and this is part of our electrical code. I know it is code in most, if not all the USA.

    The rating of any supply should be dropped to 80% for 24/7 use.

    Supply 24/7 10A 8A 16A 12.8A (13A UK) 20A 16A 32A 25.6A (26A UK) 40A 32A

    And so on. The above chart does not taken into consideration cable length:

    Connections around the house - 5000W (4000W usable) @ 240V over 10 Meters requires a 4mm TC&E cable. 5000W (4000W usable) @ 240V over 50 Meters requires a 6mm TC&E cable. 10000W (8000W usable) @ 240V over 10 Meters requires a 10mm TC&E cable. 10000W (8000W usable) @ 240v over 50 Meters requires a 16mm TC&E cable.

    Connection to an adjacent outbuilding – 5000W (4000W usable) @ 240V over 10 Meters requires a 1.5mm armoured cable. 5000W (4000W usable) @ 240V over 50 Meters requires a 6mm armoured cable. 10000W (8000W usable) @ 240V over 10 Meters requires a 4mm armoured cable. 10000W (8000W usable) @ 240v over 50 Meters requires a 10mm TC&E cable.

    And these figures vary depending on the exact cable specification, if its clipped to a wall, in duct or conduit, buried in the ground in the case of armoured cables.

    The Bottom Line. Unless you KNOW what you are doing. Call an electrician.

    OVERCLOCKS

    Here is something I nearly fell afoul of myself.

    How many of you count the power usage, and therefore circuit loading, with your rig undervolted / TDP restricted?

    How many of you have considered the consequences of AfterBurner, TRIXX, A N Other crashing or not loading correctly upon reboot?

    If your rig pulls 130W a card @ 70% TDP. And TDP is no longer being applied, your rig now pulls 186W a card. In a 10 card rig that's an increase of 560W. I can easily see an instance where someone calculates that they can power 2x 10 card - 1300W rigs on a 30A circuit @ 110V. Yes you can, and you won't pop the breaker at a little over 23 Amps . What happens when one of those rigs fires up without the TDP restriction. Now you have a 28.7A load. Is that going to trip your 30A breaker. You are now way over the 80% threshold and unless your cabling is up to spec, something will give. Just hope that its the breaker and not the cable.

    When I design a new rig I make sure I power benchmark it at 100% TDP first, so I know how much power it uses in a worst case scenario.

    Whatever path you ultimately choose to follow with your own mining setups, if you always ask your self the what-if questions, and plan for the worst case scenario, the more you do that the more likely you are to never have an issue.

    As a hobby or business GPU mining isn't dangerous, as long as you go about it correctly. You owe it to yourselves, and those around you, to do this in safest way possible.

    Mining and accounting strategies on Nicehash

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 07:55 AM PST

    So I have a few rigs running and I have some family investors who have paid me cash to buy equipment and manage rigs for them. I'm wondering if you guys have any strategies or advice on how to manage payouts and profits for multiple people using one Nicehash account with all workers pointed towards it. Here's what my current strategy is. Tell me what you think I could be doing better or what I could be doing to make things a bit simpler if possible.

    1) Mine and all rigs are pointed to the Nicehash address.

    2) Manually calculate the profits that go to each person every day by diving the most recent payout into chunks based on the amount invested (Assuming a $20,000 total setup, Investor A would get 10% of the daily payout if he invested $2,000 initially, etc.)

    3) Manually withdraw the appropriate amount to each investors' Coinbase account every day.

    4) Once per month, the payments will be either smaller or absent to cover electricity costs for that month.

    Is there a simpler way to do this??

    In last month, mining with NiceHash went from 6-7 USD per day per GPU (1070ti) to now around $3.30

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 07:22 AM PST

    This is a standard cycle of people buying up all the GPU's during crypto hype and bull market, mining, and then as the prices fall, the over abundance of miners reduces the mining profitability.

    If you stick around long enough you'll profit from your holdings just due to another hype/bull run. But until then, prepare to break even with your electric bill.

    Best way to avoid transfer fees?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 07:19 AM PST

    I'm aware of going from Nicehash through coinbase and then to gdax to avoid fees. What is the best option if you're not using Nicehash and mining in a pool? Thanks!

    Rig will not start when I use Riser

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 07:11 AM PST

    I have google searched this but can not find a good answer that solves my issue.

     

    First I setup my rig without any GPU's. It booted fine. Then I tried to use a GPU on a riser. However, I could not get it to boot. The motherboard lights up and all, but no boot. So I got rid of the riser and just directly connected it to the mobo, and it booted fine. I decided to try with 3 different risers and it still will not boot.

     

    Hardware

    • Asus Z270-A
    • Corsair 750W
    • Corsair 850W
    • SanDisk 120GB SSD
    • Risers 6 Pack
    • Celeron G3930
    • Dual PSU Adapter

     

    I thought it may be an issue with my BIOS, but I followed this tutorial exactly to setup my BIOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-FkpU2KfI

     

    Any advice on how to start debugging this issue would be appreciated!

     

    I am also considering the fact that all the risers may just be defective. I do not have another rig to test them on.

    It has a 3 year warranty they said, rotating cards out was a hassle they said. They were right.

    Posted: 25 Jan 2018 02:30 PM PST

    I read a post a while back on here boasting about the best warranties or something along those lines. Somewhere in that post a user mentioned how annoying it was to constantly RMA dead cards from mining due to down time.

    I figured, not really that big of a deal, RMA it, get it back in two weeks, done.

    Well, during the last drought I was scraping cards in of whatever I could buy, in that time I snagged an 8GB Gigabyte 580 gaming,with windforce fans. Those who don't know, WindForce is the fan style.....and it uses a sleeve bearing.

    Sleeve bearings due to their general design really aren't as good as the much better ball bearing version (many cards have these).

    So today marks the 6 month or so from running this card most of the time, and I have lost my first fan. Not a big deal, just RMA it...ignoring the fact cards are impossible to come by now. The amount of money that card is losing per day WAS NOT worth saving money vs paying more for a ball bearing model.

    If it takes two weeks for a new fan, at the least I have probably lost $40+ in revenue. This makes justifying buying the more expensive versions much easier. Not including the time it takes to RMA, reinstall, etc.

    So, in conclusion, keep spare fans, buy ball bearing cards, and mine on.

    I have some GPUs that have dual 8-pin ports on top, and one with a 8 pin and a 6 pin. Is it safe to just use one split cable that has two 8 pin ends to plug into both, or do I need to use separate cables?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 06:23 AM PST

    If I have to use separate cables, I'm fucked - my PSU will not have enough slots. I'm hoping I can use the jumpered cable for the GPUs that require two 8 pins, or one 8 pin, one 6 pin.

    Anyone know how much wattage each port is drawing?
