    Posted: 18 Jun 2018 06:47 AM PDT

    Hello Everyone,

    I need to buy a workstation that is used to run solidworks / autocad. Will a dell Precision Workstation T3420 SFF be good enough for mining some crypto on the side? I have a 2k budget.

    Please Advice!

    Help me address negative static pressure cause by venting miners.

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 04:17 PM PDT

    I've been trying to troubleshoot cooling issues with my home for the past few weeks and it finally hit me today.

    After having my central air replaced a month ago, I couldn't figure out why it became impossible to cool my home. I knew the air was going somewhere, but surely it couldn't be the miners, right?

    My rigs are contained in two grow tents that sit within my basement; each tent is cooled by exhausting the hot air with two 440cfm fans. I figured that heat was rising from my basement and insulated the floor joists. No dice.

    Today is a particularly hot day. My AC is calling for 70F and it can't cool my 1,800 sqft home below 80F with an oversized unit blowing 50F air from the vents. It's obnoxious. But on to some father's day home improvement projects that brought the issue to light.

    I have some in-wall speakers throughout my living room. When I was doing some work today, I noticed a large amount of air coming from around one of the speakers. It was being drawn in from my already insulated attic.

    WELL. That's when I started following air flow around cracks of doors and holes in my walls for lighting fixtures and what have you. All of the air is being drawn to my basement where my miners live, and then immediately out of the house because of the fans with a combined flow of 1,760cfm.

    Negative pressure ahoy.

    So I guess I'm at a loss of what to focus on to improve this problem. How can I continue to cool my miners without my wife killing me because of the heat?

    How trustworthy are mining OS's?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 08:30 PM PDT

    Because I find Windows 10 to be pretty unstable for mining, I'm considering switching to something like HiveOS or SMOS. But I'm a little concerned about letting this stuff run on computers in my network. I would categorize this as a "high risk" activity. Am I wrong about that, and if so, why?

    When buying new GPUs, do you buy the cheapest or higher end models?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 10:15 PM PDT

    I'm deciding on purchasing another 1070Ti but I'm not sure if I should buy the cheapest/most basic model or spend more for a higher end.

    Right now, I'm looking at a EVGA SC Gaming ($469) vs FTW Ultra Silent ($499). Is the premium cost worth it? I'd appreciate any opinions or advice.

    Resetter RF: a new little device that keeps your farm online. Answer the market survey and get a chance to participate in the beta test!

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 10:14 PM PDT

    Hello miners, my name is Hammereditor and I'm from Coinfarm Ventures.

    In January I started my own mining farm with 200 video cards. The only problem: the warehouse was 100 miles or 2-3 hours away in another state. We just couldn't get a reasonable electric rate here in Long Island. At first it was a nightmare: I had to use expensive Wi-Fi smart outlets and deal with offline rigs. Every single week I had to visit the facility. I bet many of you struggle with rig crashes, blackouts and GPU stalls. Not just large miners, but small hobbyists too. Until I crafted a little rig resetter for way cheaper than Wi-Fi outlets or smart PDUs. It solved 90% of crashes, eliminated most lost profit, and saved me countless hours of traveling to the warehouse.

    Now I'm turning it into an actual full-featured product that's built from the ground up with only one purpose: reduce mining-related downtime. However, I first need to know how many miners need or want Resetter RF and whether it's useful or not.

    You can help by taking the market survey, which is 12 questions and < 5 minutes long. If you're located in the U.S. or Canada only, you have a chance to take part in the closed beta test 3 weeks from now and try out a prototype of Resetter RF for free for around a month. 10 beta units will be handed out.

    In the future there will be support for international outlets (EU, AU, UK) and the control panel will be upgraded over time, but we're sticking to the basic features for now. The more interest there is in this, the more I'll discuss in this thread. That's all! Any questions or suggestions?

    Overloading PSUs cause larger electricity bill?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 06:27 PM PDT

    I currently use 4x HP server psu's to power my cards on 220v, to achieve 1200watts per psu. I always have EVGA 850w, 1300w, 650w and a 450w, which are normally just the power the board plus a few cards.

    also wanted to disclose, my taxes for my bill alone are around 115-130/mo, so keep that in mind, just trying to give all the info I can*

    My issue is my electricity bill is crazy high, this month was $817. I'm located in Florida where cost is .08-.09 per kwh.

    I currently have: 10x1080ti 12x1080 1x1070ti 11x1070 11xRX580

    With my math my bill should be around $450 or so including my fans risers and 2 in-line fans (correct me if I'm wrong)

    Looking at my electricity cost from last year I spent about $150 for electric (brand new build so very energy efficient)

    So I'm wondering if it could be me overloading my PSUs? Currently I try to squeeze every watt out, minus 5-10%. So for 1300w I'll use around 1200w. Is this fair? Or am I screwing myself?

    Please let me know what I can do or if this is normally.. looking st whattomine.com my energy use is crazy high.. I'm using HiveOS on all my rigs

    PCIEx1 does not work, IF adjacent PCIEx16 slot is in use. Anyone experience this?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 01:55 PM PDT

    I have an ASUS Maximus Hero VIII. (i3, 8gb ram, evga 1600, and various gpu's).

    If I have use the top pciex16 slot, and one of the lower 2 pciex1 slots, the slot will work (i've not tested on both of the lower 2,,,, the top x1 slot has given me no problems).

    but if I use the lower 2 pciex16 slots, and one of the lower pciex1 slots, nothing will show up in that slot.

    it's a known working device. I'm using a maximum of 3 cards when I'm testing this. I'm just using one x1 riser that I know to work (the rest of x16 ribbon risers).

    gen 1 speed, and above 4g encoding is enabled in the bios.

    does anyone have any thoughts on this? google was no help. Asus has been no help.

    I've been going back and forth with ASUS with this as I never got a fully working card from them, when I bought this in Jan. (the first was unstable, this is the 2nd board, it was RMA'ed when I told them 2/3 PCIEx1 slots do not work, they tested it, and sent it back to me, and they still do not work).

    Please help, my rig is off for 2 weeks and I can't figure out how to make it work.

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 02:32 PM PDT

    2x AsRock H110 Pro BTC, 13x RX580 8gb, 2x 1070 ti, 8gb ram, Intel G3930 2.9 GHz Celeron Processor, PCIE Riser VER009S, windows 10 pro

    Started with a rig of 4+2 and all went well. then I bought additional 7 gpu to make it 13 (11+2) rig.

    Could not manage to make work all 13 GPU because the windows were lagging a lot.

    12 (10+2) GPU rig was still a bit lagging but it works. 11 (9+2) GPU rig had no problems.

    So I tried to change the OS to Linux (Ubuntu) as my friend has known how to work with it but with no success. In process of installing Ubuntu, I have decided to delete windows due to an error during instaling. After no success with Ubuntu, I have instaled windows pro 10 back but can't manage to make work more than 4 gpu together. The whole windows is lagging a lot and can't figure out why.

    I have reinstalled win 10x.

    Tried the rig only with AMD cards.

    Tried a different combination of cards if some of the risers are faulty.

    15xSafe mode and cleaned all drivers with DDU.

    Bought new motherboard - no change.

    Virtual memory: initial 12GB, Max 18GB

    Tried the last 2 versions of AMD drivers.

    GPUs are bios flashed could that be a problem?

    Also forgot to back up original bios when I deleted the previous windows.

    4 pin power connector is plugged into the motherboard.

    Any ideas??

    Left mining just after xmas when it started going down the pan, want to get back in, not sure how...

    Posted: 17 Jun 2018 03:12 PM PDT

    So I wasn't really big into mining, just running nicehash with 4 1050ti's, 2 1060 6GBs and a 1070. Sold it all off when my car wrecked and I needed the money for a new one and the market was going downhill. Had only been in it for about 6 months by then.

    Saved up £5k, not sure what to buy to get back into mining or even if it's worth it to start up right now. My plan so far is buy 12 1070s and have 2 rigs of 6 cards, then put the rest of the money towards the next. 1080tis would be great but the ROI right now isn't worth it for me, 1070s could handle difficulty jumps (or would take longer to become unprofitable)

    Electricity for me is £0.08 during the night, 0.12 during the day.

    Any thoughts? Thankyou! :)
