    Been hashing with these cards for a couple weeks. I'm here because I believe in crypto for the long run. Here to help secure the network with my proof of work.

    Big dumb investment

    Posted: 27 Feb 2021 10:16 AM PST

    I just took out a home equity line of credit to pay for 24 new RTX 3080s to run 4 6-GPU miners. I nabbed the cards in a bulk order at $960 each. My total in is about $28500. The cards are OEM Lenovo 3080s, which are a rebranded MSI base-model, I'll be using 1600w EVGA gold rated PSUs with custom cables from cablemod to accommodate all the cards and risers, mintcell Molex pcie risers, Asus Tuf Z390 motherboards with built in wifi, i3 9100f processors, 16gb ram for each machine, and they'll all be packaged in Veddha minercase T2 cases, I'll be running them all out of my house with a max average electricity price of $0.14/kwh and they'll all be running nicehashOS on USB sticks.

    My reason for using nicehash has to do with the current transaction fees involved with ETH. I will likely switch to a traditional mining pool once eip1559 hits, assuming ETH is still the most profitable coin to mine. With nicehash, the only revenue hit I am taking is when nicehash takes their cut before paying me, nicehash allows free bitcoin transfers to coinbase, and coinbase pro allows practically free transacting of bitcoin, so all of the fungibility consequences of miningWallet>exchangeWallet>USD are eliminated by using nicehash right now.

    The reason I am using unnecessarily large amounts of ram is that 8gb DDR4 sticks are going to remain more valuable than 4gb DDR4 sticks for longer, just want to have hardware that is still useful to somebody if I even need to offload it.

    With my AC running non-stop I anticipate my total electricity charges per month will be about $800 more than my regular household useage, my minimum loan payment will be about $200, so assuming these cards can gross at least $1000 per month at any given time I'll be breaking even (whereas my current projected gross is around $7000-$9000 depending on the price of ETH). My cards won't arrive until mid-march, and all of the boxed merchandise I've got on order is returnable with the exception of my custom PSU cables, so if everything goes to shit for crypto by the time I get the cards in hand, even if I can't resell them, I can just return them and I'll only be out $600 for the cables I can't return and my $1200 origination fee for the loan and one interest-only payment to the loan.

    I don't think this is a good idea for anybody else to attempt this and I am doing it because I have a lot of faith in the long term viability of PoW cryptocurrency especially privacy-focused currencies like zcash and monero and enough regular income to cover the loan payments if things go sideways. Assuming that when I get the equipment delivered the market is in a place where I still feel comfortable jumping in, I'll be flipping the switch on these rigs around March 20th.

    YOLO

    Not much, but it's a start and it's mine

    Not much, but it's a start and it's mine

    Got home at midnight from Houston, but I had stuff delivered today to finish/start my mining rig.
    Couldn't wait so I stayed up for a few hours to put it together.
    Had issues getting more than 2 cards to run efficiently and then got 3 to work, but at a slow hashrate.
    Now it's looking better (not really aesthetically though...
    Plan is to build a frame onto the pc case to keep everything together.
    And yes those heat sinks seem to help. I had 20 of them so why not use them for now.
    (3) 3070 and (1) 3060ti in this rig with another (2) 3060ti on the side waiting.

    small mistake in image with info, last gpu has been changed to auto fan and 120 power.

    Profitability is down, should I be upset? Because I’m not!

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 07:09 AM PST

    I just started mining a few weeks ago with my gaming pc, I had a 1070 Hybrid which can run almost 31Mh/s when overclocked. I decided to jump on the mining train and bought 3x more 1070 Hybrids at around $350-$400 each. Yes I overpaid, yes profitability is down, do I care? Nope not really! Mining out of my college dorm so free electricity, only have 3 cards installed which in total is running 92Mh/s, still waiting on the 4th card and my 2nd 850w psu.

    I see a lot of people complaining that profitability is way down, but even tho I jumped on board too late, I'm still pretty happy with my decision. Yeah last week my 3x 1070's where averaging $12 a day, yeah they're only averaging $6-$7 a day now but hey that's passive income for me right now. I was able to borrow the money to buy the cards which I wouldn't have had the money to buy the cards otherwise, repaying that isn't a huge rush so I'm very happy with my decision. Sometimes you gotta look at the bright side!

    With profitability being so low, I expect to see more used gpus popping up soon, I'm planning on snagging 4x more 1070 Hybrids if the price is right, I'm in this for the long haul as regardless of low or high profitability, with no electricity bill, I will eventually get my ROI and from that point on is pure profit.

    8 Pin with 2 connectors -> Splitter, Fire hazard??

    Posted: 27 Feb 2021 11:41 PM PST

    So i'm currently trying to make a rig with 3 1660 cards, which just use about 90W each.

    I would be using a 650W psu which comes with 2 pci-e cables with 2 connectors each.

    PSU --->PCIE8---->PCIE8
    |
    ----------->PCIE8---->PCIE8

    And i was wondering if i could attach to each one of those connectors a splitter without problems. Just so i can power up all my risers and gpus.
    In theory my wattage would be enough without any hussle, but seeing that my cables are already split up into two i guess attaching a splitter to those cables won't do no good.. Even if the total amount used by cable is below the 288W rated pci-e 8pin cables.

    What do you guys think? I could also power up to 2 risers with 2 molex on same cable, i guess.

    Too many GPUs -> keyboard not found

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 03:05 AM PST

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to expand my rig but I'm reaching a limit. Up to the 7th GPU everything works as it should, but as soon as I add the 8th, the boot process does not pass the hardware check because no keyboard is found and I am redirected directly to the bios. I've already disabled all unnecessary USB ports and it seems like unused SATA ports are automatically disabled. GPUZ shows the seven GPUs on bus 1, 6, 9, 12, 18, 21 and 24 as the device location. Why is it not counted in steps of one? And if there are three steps in bus-iteration, where are 3 and 15? Does anyone know about the mainboard or otherwise have a tip for me?

    Best settings for RTX 2080s to get best results?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 03:40 AM PST

    Hiho,

    I'm completely new to bitcoin mining. I want to at least give it a try with my personal gaming rig.

    I habe a RTX 2080 SUPER and a ryzen 7.

    So I created an account and downloaded software (don't know if it's allowed to tell you which provider)

    Right now I'm at only 22mh/s

    What are things I can do to optimize it? I think I'm doing something wrong since my friend has only a 1070 and has 27mh. Apparently there are some things I can do for example fine tuning with Msi afterburner. But what settings to chose?

    If you need any more Infos let me know. I appreciate every help I can get.

    Thx and happy mining

    I was given a GTX 480 and a GTX 770. Anything profitable with these old cards?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 12:46 AM PST

    Title says it all. Was given these old cards thinking they could help with my crypto mining journey. I am newer to mining and only really know about ETH mining. Is there some other altcoin that can be profitable with these two low end cards?

    Error LiveKernelEvent code 1b0

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 04:06 AM PST

    Hello,

    ​

    I've started mining recently. I have an error poping randomly : LiveKernelEvent code 1b0

    I had some issue with OC so I've lowered it and it's working. Yesterday the uptime was 12h before crashing and this night it crashed after 3h. The night before he crashed too after 5h of mining

    I don't really get it, maybe you guys know the issue, thanks !

    ​

    Specs :

    Asrock H110

    3x GTX 1060 6go ; OC -200/+500 72% PL

    PSU 700w

    2070 perfect mining

    ETH: maximum difficulty found share 45 th !!! (some clarification please)

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 03:02 AM PST

    So I only do 110Mh/s with my rig.

    Lately (on phoenix miner if that plays any part) I very frequently (actually most of the time) get share alerts like
    "ETH: maximum difficulty found share: 45 th (! ! !)" And only one or two "white lines" as I call them the ones that read "ETH: new job found #12312312 from mypool(sparkpool) diff 4000MH"

    I used to get quite a few of them every second or so like more than 4 usually about 6 or more...

    This happened after I changed the voltages on my GPUs... could this be a sideffect because the miner was running while I changed the voltages ? (some bug lead to corrupt value data or something? ) my reported by the miner Mh/s did not change so everything seems to be fine other than the main thing I am asking about.

    Do I need to be worried? I mean will my pool actual share count or actual MHs average (not the reported) get lower so in otherword do I lose money now?

    I guess I could wait to see but I really want an answer even if I dont lose money I would like to understand why I get these 45TH or more difficulty shares ?

    Thanks

    How many cards can I use with Asus Sabertooth 990?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 02:08 AM PST

    I have an AMD 9590fx with a Sabertooth 990 motherboard. (motherboard link here)

    How many GPUs could I hook up to this? Would I need risers?

    Any and all input is appreciated.

    Right now I'm just using nicehash with my personal computer but I'd like to set my spare PC here up with a mining OS and some cards.

    Ideally I'd like to start with 2-4 GPUs and expand it further if I can.

    I have a fresh PSU available as well as 16gb of RAM.

    Is the GPU dead?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 01:29 AM PST

    Ok so I has 2 rx580's mining in separate computers and all was fine. Yesterday I got a new psu that allowed me to put both of them on a rack. When I first turned the pc with both cards, it booted to windows normally amd both cards were detected by windows. Then I turned on nanominer and the pc froze completely. After several restarts because the same issue kept happening, I started switching risers and plugging cards directly in the motherboard. I determined that one of the cards was the problem, so I brought it over to another pc and that pc was stuck in a boot loop that never reached windows. I brought it over to the rig again and the same issue happens. Whenever that card is in a computer, it doesn't reach windows. I've tried flicking the bios switch several times but same result. Is the card dead?
