    150+ RX470/570/580/Vega Home Farm

    Posted: 07 Mar 2020 03:50 PM PST

    During the bear market there was a lot of discussion over whether it would be better to buy coin or invest in mining rigs. Here's my anecdotal example on opting for the mining route.

    I bought only used parts from people exiting the mining game when bitcoin was <$6k. I bought these taking a risk when mining profits were breakeven or slightly negative, but I live up north so they were used to heat the house which made it a bit more palatable at the time. The bulk of the ETH/ETC I mined was converted straight to BTC and currently I have mined almost 1BTC plus some alts I am speculating in.

    I had been mining on GPUs since 2013 small-scale and found a bunch of deals on kijiji. I was blown away by SMOS and HIVE OS... compared to mining LTC back in the day this is so much easier!

    Over the past year I've spent about $25k CAD on rigs, and accumulated 145 RX-series GPUs and 8 Vega 56's plus all the other hardware. My favourite deals were buying pre-built rigs. Currently limited by my 100 amp electrical service and running 115GPUs. I'm running 72GPUs on HIVE OS and the rest on SMOS. I haven't used HashR8 yet, but I'm thinking of splitting my farm up to run free rigs on HIVE and HasR8 and the remainder on SMOS to reduce overhead.

    The mine based on current profitability brings in about $70CAD/day revenue and the power cost is about $1100/month. The 115GPUs running put out about 3075MH. I estimate that these rigs will sell for significantly more than I originally paid if ETH makes another leg higher in the coming weeks.

    Right now selling my house and looking for upgraded 200 amp electric with 240V. Going to be setting up a secondary farm at my parent's house with the rigs I don't run at home.

    HIVE OS Settings for 8 x 8GB RX470 Rigs:

    Core: 947Mhz, Mem: 1750Mhz, Volt: 750mV, Speed: 26MH/s

    with these settings on an 8 card rig they are below 100W per card.

    I can't get quite as good performance with SMOS, it doesn't seem to like setting voltage below 800mv.

    Any tips on how I can reduce my power consumption and overhead costs further? I'm looking to achieve the best hash/watt possible and not chasing absolute performance. My power rate overnight is half the cost of peak rates, any thoughts on turning off the farm for the 6 hours of peak power costs? What should I mine with my Vegas? Since monero forked I haven't turned them on.

    Bitcoin halves in 64 days! GLTA.

    I keep seeing deals pop up for cards that are on sale but I want to an RX series whether that be a 470/480/570/580 I want it to be 8gb but what is the best for your buck

      Mine ETH with Vega's. I'm getting a steady 39.20 on 56's using Hashr8. easy to set up and loads from USB
