first rig, help!! Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:20 PM PDT Hello humans, me and my friend have decided to invest in a mining rig (planning to mine ETH) which will hopefully utilise 4 5700XTs. we're splitting the costs due to obvious reasons. The plan is to use an old prebuilt HP Z230 as a donor machine for the mobo, CPU (i7-4770) and RAM (16GB DDR3). the upgrades will consist of 4 5700XTs and a beefy 1500W PSU along with a open bench "case" for all the GPUs. The main concerns I have are: - is the PSU enough? - are better hash revenue approximations accurate give or take $5? - what software should I use for max efficiency? - where should I keep the rig without getting a heatstroke? - is there anything wrong with my setup/plan? submitted by /u/potatodude321 [link] [comments]

Any interest in a mining scheduler? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 09:06 AM PDT I started writing this for me, but am wondering is it is worth putting online for others. (I only run Linux so it is a Linux based script.) In a nutshell, there is a config that holds a list of miners (name, directory location, miner cmd line) and the script lets you call by name a miner or rotate to the next miner in the list. It remembers which miner it was running and the systemd service will start that miner back up on reboot. I currently have the following options in it. Usage: mining-scheduler <OPTION> -b # used when booting up or when you want to restart the miner -s <miner> # starts a given miner -r # rotates to the next miner -c # clears the system run and pid files -q # Quit/stop running miner ​ I wrote it because I have a small miner I wanted to use to do low cap alt coins and mine each for a week. So I have cron rotate the miner every sunday. ​ If there is some interest Ill write an installer script and put it up on github for others to use. submitted by /u/grandpasplace [link] [comments]

Any thoughts on betterhash? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 03:26 PM PDT I'm thinking about giving up on Nicehash and move to Betterhash. Anyone using them at the moment? Is their estimate any good? I ran a test run for 48h one one of my miners and was underwhelmed. How do I know I'll really get paid for what I mine? Or should I move to mining ether directly? Thanks. submitted by /u/graydoggames [link] [comments]

2nd GPU Card error. Posted: 19 Aug 2020 03:21 PM PDT I have a H110 BTC Pro motherboard. Running Hive OS I installed one ASRock RX 5700 and it worked fine. I went to install the second one and it ran for about 10 or 20 minutes, then there was an error. I tested the risers and cables and they were okay. What I did next was test the ASRock RX 5700 that didn't work as a solo card. It starts up and runs, but then the screen immediately goes green. I am trying to figure out what this means and what I can do to fix it. Here is the screen immediately prior to before it turns green. https://preview.redd.it/q8wie2x4b1i51.jpg?width=666&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1866df087f52f6cec5a34b6ae9bc5a40b27d316f submitted by /u/My-At-Work-Account [link] [comments]

z390 or z490 mobo for new mining rig? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 01:55 PM PDT Any difference in terms of mining for either one of these? submitted by /u/Dudebythepool [link] [comments]
