GPU Mining [Equihash Anti-ASIC Fork] Every Equihash coin and what they decided about the Fork

Right now I can get the Gigabyte Vega 64 model for 689 shipped or any of a number of 580 8 gig models around 340 shipped. Budget is 6k already have everything except the GPUs and risers.

Right now looking at what to mine profitability is close and I am leaning towards the Vega cards because of density but was wondering about what you guys think?

Have enough open slots in my shop to drop in 20 cards right now so power and space and everything else is already taken care of. Have 12 1-3rd i7s that I can use as I need. So do I just build 2-4 six card large rigs and throw one gpu in the rest and keep cpu/gpu mining on them or go with 3 card on board setups on 10 of the rigs and one or two six card rigs for the rest? Cant decide. Currently I have them all in different rooms to spread out heat and they are barely noticeable because they are in large HTPC cases.

Do you guys mind giving me some links to quality risers? I have not used any up to this point since I went with tri miner setups so far.

Just sold off all my 970s and 980s and 1070s. Kept only the 1070tis

PSUs are all 1200 silverstones. I like CPU mining so I plan to keep all the rigs running anyways.

Heat and cards!

Posted: 05 May 2018 07:02 AM PDT

So, my little place holds heat in the summer, releases it in the winter. It's very proficient at these tasks, reliable, like my two 1080tis. So yesterday I came home to place (930pm) that was 85 degrees. It was much cooler out than inside. I don't have Central air and it's too early for my window unit to go in. So I prop a fan up on a box in my living room entry, draw the cool air in. Open my bathroom window to allow movement of air. Let that run until around midnight before I pass out. Temp get down to 74 degrees!! Win! Close the door, lock it, go to bed (left bathroom window open). Wake up, it's 83 fucking degrees. Only two damn cards!! (And I suppose the power supply too) Ugh. Summer is gonna suck.

Unable to flash bios to RX 570

Posted: 05 May 2018 01:49 AM PDT

So I recently got a sapphire rx 570 nitro+ 8gb micron memory and wanted to bios mod it.

Flipped bios switch towards the HDMI ports saved original bios created new one with one click.

The problem is that atiwinflash does not want to open. I double click. And nothing happens. Have tried multiple versions of the program running it in compatibility mode and nothing.

I am running Windows 10 home 64bit and i have also tried creating a bootable flash disk but when I tried -i command it just says no adapter found. Tried with the card in both pci slots.

The card works fine doing 27.6mh on ethereum at 1150 core and 2100 mem at 850 mv (micron) but I thought I could get a little bit more with a bios mod. Any ideeas?

How many of you are mining rvn? What pool?

Posted: 05 May 2018 12:21 AM PDT

I haven't checked out whattomine for a week or so - and it seems things have changed away from equihash - and will continue to do so given developments last few days.

I have been using AM on MPH. Now it seems that I could get a nice profit bump mining rvn probably on blazepool given MPH doesn't support rvn.

Any of you follow this route? How was your experience? Or - any other pools / routes you took?

Thanks!

How to connect 1080ti (with 2x 8-pin PCIe as power connectors) with cable which has (6+2pin & 6pin)

Posted: 04 May 2018 05:10 PM PDT

Hey guys, this is my first ever rig, I'm trying to build a 6x 1080ti rig.

Following video/guides online, I bought the evga 1600w T2 psu.

It comes with 5x (8pin to 6+2pin & 6pin) cables. + some 8pin to (6+2)pin cables.

Would the card work if I just connect to the 6+2pin&6pin directly to the 1080ti power connectors? I know that the 6+2pin will be fine but I'm not sure about the 6pin.

Do I need to somehow convert the 6pin to an 8 pin? or do I need to buy new cable?

The graphics card also came with a wire that has 2x 6pin female to 8pin male, would this be useful?

Miners who started in 4Q17, your breakeven date?

Posted: 04 May 2018 01:21 PM PDT

My breakeven date (BE) was and is coin prices dependent and fluctuated wildly. On 28Jan2018, Eth/Usd was 1193 and BE was 3.5 months. On 03APR2018, Eth/Usd crashed to 405 and BE increased to 19 months. Today (04MAY2018), Eth/Usd is at 780 and BE shortened back to 5 month.

The $1 million dollar question, I believe, is what if prices increase so much, such that suddenly you've broken even. Will you sell and BE, or will you hold longer (forever?) Stock/equity investors have the same conundrum - when do you get out of a market when it's rising or crashing rapidly?

Easiest and most efficient way to cool my garage?

Posted: 04 May 2018 01:14 PM PDT

Hey guys what's going on? With the summer coming I am already seeing my temperatures rise. I am currently using it to tone hasher idea with the box in my garage with air filters, and a top mounted fan to suck the air out. Unfortunately the air is trapped in my garage, and I have it open and maybe about 6 inches to let a little bit of air in and out.

I have a two-story home so no access to the attic and I'm running roughly about 35 to 40 cards. I don't really have an option to bring the rakes inside as I wouldn't have enough power to run them in the rooms that my wife would allow me to LOL.

I don't really have an option to bring the rakes inside as I wouldn't have enough power to run them in the rooms that my wife would allow me to LOL. What I was thinking about doing was opening my garage door about 2 feet and making a wood frame with one or two 3000 CFM floor fans from Lowes or Home Depot. And put filters so that the dirt does not get sucked in from outside.

I am up for any ideas. When my garage door is open completely my temperature is dropped from anywhere from 55 to 60° in roughly, sometimes 65 and this is during the day. I live in Florida by the way.

Sapphire RX570 Extremely Low Hashrate

Posted: 04 May 2018 11:24 AM PDT

Hi guys,

Just built a the start of a new rig, with only one RX570 on board currently. It's performing awfully, and I'm not sure what's going wrong!

Using Nicehash it simply wasn't mining at all (would just hang on 0.00000 regardless of algo) and with Claymore it would get around 6k mh/s. Installing AMD's mining beta driver and overclocking it extensively I've gotten it to 17.133 MH/s on DaggerHashimoto (Nicehash) and 15 MH/s on with Claymore.

Other details:

1650w PSU Gigabyte GA-Z270P-D3 MB Intel Celeron GPU DDR4 4GB

Overclock: 1324 Core, 2189 Mem, 0% undervolt, is stable at these settings.

Any ideas?

Equihash miner could put pressure on NVIDIA and AMD

Posted: 04 May 2018 01:15 PM PDT

There is the possibility that gpu mining could die but the effect against AMD and NVIDIA would be huge. Miners would flood the market with cards ON THE CHEAP... and these cards are great for gaming. I can't see a gamer wanting to buy a newly released card unless it was powerful enough to justify having to pay the MSRP which could easily be higher given cost of memory lately. Im thinking as much as it's been said that NVIDIA they don't make cards for mining, they can't sustain such a drop off in sales.... end result would be a card that is great at mining and great at gaming. Possible driver tweaks, or software like the ethpill.

As a small hobby gpu miner and gamer, I plan to hold on to what I have and see what plays out. I won't be buying an asic... simply because I think there is going to be a narrowing between my 1080ti hash rate and this antminer. Let's hope so atleast

New to mining..

Posted: 04 May 2018 01:28 PM PDT

I have a couple of extra GPU's I want to add to my 1080GTX that is currently mining in my gaming PC. Looking to add 2 660ti's. I'm really confused on the risers. The cards can use PCIE 3.0, but all the risers I'm seeing don't specify 3.0? Can someone point me in the right direction...? What am I missing?

Here's a picture of a motherboard I own. I would like to power it with an EVGA psu. Does anyone know how that would be possible?
