    Clarification on the infamous "Way to wire your Mining Rig" diagram and riser cards

    Posted: 15 Feb 2021 09:55 PM PST

    I am wanting to understand exactly/specifically what physical connectors are assumed on the bot-provided link to the "Way to wire your Mining Rig" diagram.

    Most ~850W PSUs have 5 x 8-pin PCI-E/CPU "ports" and 5 x 6-pin peripheral "ports".Perfect example is the Corsair RMX 850: https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6229/6229601cv12d.jpg

    I am referring to these on the back of the PSU as "ports" because I think part of the confusion is when people refer to "never use the SATA connectors", it's not exactly clear if they mean the thin physical female connector that plugs in to the back of a SSD, or if they mean the "port" on the back of the PSU.

    Meanwhile, the "Way to wire your Mining Rig" diagram refers to 6 individual cables coming out of the back of each PSU. Easy to make the assumption each GPU is being connected via the 8-pin PCI-E ports, which takes up 3, and then 1 for the 8-pin CPU connection, and so only leaving 1 left. Are the risers (blue in the image) being powered via the 6-pin "peripheral" port and then the 4-pin molex ends in to the risers? This is where I am confused when it's saying never to use the SATA connectors.

    - if "no", never use these 6-pin ports labeled "Peripheral/SATA", then what is the assumption in this diagram on how they connect 3 cards and their risers the correct way?

    - if "yes", use these 6-pin ports, just NOT the L-shaped SATA female connectors, most PSUs will only give you 2 x 6-pin to molex cables, so are you using 2 molex connectors on one of the cables to power 2 risers? Again, what is the assumption being made in this diagram?

    Thanks much!

    2x 3060 on a 650w psu

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 02:37 AM PST

    Hey guys, i was just wondering if you guys think its safe to have 2x 3060 mining at 120w each with a 650 PSU?
    Will i be able to mine on 1x card at 120w at game at the other at the same time?

    Help. Voltage settings under linux.

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 07:30 AM PST

    I'm running various 2060 on a linux Ubuntu rig. The thing is for the moment I'm just managing the power limit and frecuencies. Apparently the 2060 could be more efficient if undervolted, but I can't find the right command for doing it. On Nvidia-settings GUI there is nothing related to voltage. Anyone has done it? Thanks

    Mounting a second gpu without hooking to a motherboard

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 07:19 AM PST

    Hey, so I was going to buy another gpu for mining, but my motherboard only has 1 16x pcie slot. I was wondering if I could mount it (horizontally) in the case and use a loose 1x pcie riser to it.

    Would this work? Is there some kind of support thing i could get? Would consider getting a new motherboard, but i'm about to upgrade it for a new cpu soon anyways.

    Motherboard: Msi bazooka b150m

    Case: Corsair Carbide 330r

    Thank you!

    Question : Help on deciding what's best for mining?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 06:50 AM PST

    Got money to spend, $13,000 to $22,000. Just need to know what equipment I need. I've used whattomine and see that the AMD 480's are a good option to go with, just finding them is a pain.

    I've watched some videos on it and read some other posts and feel confident to start.

    Anyone recommend some apps to use, any other hardware too? Or what GPU they prefer? I know whattomine isn't going to be 100% accurate but I'd like to believe it is close to some what being accurate.

    Also I've read into nicehash and it seems good with it's low fee's however with it's past experience on the bitcoin situation people are still hating on it.

    So I guess a few questions would be :

    Whats the best set up / set up you see good profit with from personal experience or elsewhere?

    Which apps are you using?

    Are ASIC miners bad because a new one comes out every 6 months and the one you got mines lower?

    Better internet is good I assume?

    Alongside the GPU's, which motherboard, PSU's and where do I find those adapters which connect for each GPU to it's slot?

    Also which wallet do you use? I heard coinomi is good.

    and lastly, if I've missed anything please do add in the comments. thanks. if I've asked dumb questions please don't downvote man, just guide me.

    Single PSU for 5 x 3070 1 x 2080ti & PSU cable order for risers? Plus server PSU alternatives?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 05:23 AM PST

    First build here.

    Can anyone one recommend me a PSU for a single rig that can handle
    5 x 3070 1 x 2080ti

    Secondly with the risers, what exactly is the order of the power cable. So I've read that is better to use the 6 pin on the risers as opposed to the sata or 4 pin molex.

    Is it the 2 x (6+2pins) cable plugged into the PSU, then add a splitter to one of the 6+2pins, and then one end of the splitter goes into the riser power plug, the other goes to the one of the power port on the GPU, and then the second 6+2pins goes to the second power port of the GPU? Sorry if that's confusing.

    Also, just using a on the PSU can handle one of this 3070/2080ti and the riser without issues?

    3rdly, is it worth going with a HP server PSU instead? Would the above plug order of operation be the same, instead it will go into the breakout board of the server PSU. Then CPU, fans and mobo goes into a smaller 200w PSU?

    Thanks for any help guys!

    3 GPU's on a decent 650W PSU?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 05:04 AM PST

    I keep reading that 3x 3060 ti/3070 etc on a 650w psu is not recommended however I have 2x 3070's on my current rig with a Seasonic 650w Gold and the whole system is pulling 275w from the wall (60Mhs @ 119w per card, 3000G etc).

    PSU efficiency is rated at 80% supply capacity so even with 2x 3070's, undervolted, power limited and clocked I'm below 50% PSU's rated power draw.

    I don't understand why adding a 3'rd GPU could be such a bad thing if it's only going to raise power draw to 395 watts which is still only around 60% the PSU's rated power?

    I have a wall socket power monitor on my desk for the rig and will keep an eye next time I restart but I'm pretty sure the system never peaks anywhere near 275w when booting up so again... if a PSU os most efficient at 80% power draw then surely 3 GPU's is better than 2 GPU's because it's at least 60% rated power draw and at 60% draw is hardly likely to kill it much sooner surely?

    Anyone from Argentina? ( or south América)

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 04:38 AM PST

    Switching to spanish to explain the purpose of the post : Hola muchachos ...desde que comencé a minar lo más difícil hasta ahora no fue mantener la temperatura de los equipos, encontrar el OC adecuado para casa placa ... nada de eso ... sino fue comprar los insumos. Los únicos que pueden hoy aprovechar la situación son los mineros con contactos en el exterior o con proveedores " secretos " el resto de nos cobra en exceso p se nos mata con los impuestos. Mi idea es que nos juntemos y hagamos compras comunitarias, nos pasemos contactos , bah que nos ayudemos entre nosotros, así podemos crecer como mineros sin dejarle el alma a nuestros gobiernos/proveedores.

    2060S + 1660S ETH mining

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 03:54 AM PST

    I got these 2 GPUs:

    http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=3338&lang=en (Samsung GDDR6)
    http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=3402&lang=en (Micron GDDR6)

    My current mining performance: https://i.imgur.com/GvqsIlI.png

    I've used nVidia's autoOC feature to set custom clock curves. 2060S also got a +200 memory clock boost.

    So I want some advice in regards to setting static GPU core clock/voltage & mem clocks. I've been told ETH needs the lowest possible GPU clocks and highest mem clocks.

    I'll use nVidia Inspector and custom bat file to set values at boot.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    Need Guide for Solo Mining (BTC / ETH)

    Posted: 15 Feb 2021 11:42 PM PST

    Yes, I understand I may never get any profits from doing this. And I'm aware that this is basically playing the lottery. But that's okay with me because one stroke of luck would generate life changing money.

    I have an RTX 2080 and played around with nicehash for a couple days. I generated ~$5 per day. This is fine and all, but I'd rather take a shot at mining solo.

    Any recommendations of software / sites / guides for mining solo?

    Why 2 gpu perform differently?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 03:19 AM PST

    Hello everybody!
    Let me tell you I just started mining a week ago and hell, I'm loving the ride!

    I was unable to find any good video card and since my budget is limited, I wanted to start slow, so my first intention was to upgrade my personal computer with a second gpu. After a long performance analysis of the cards available in my market, I purchased a second GTX 1660 Super (yes, I know there are better, but for my limited budget I was able to find one for about 650usd).

    With my main 1660 super, connected to PCI-E 16x and having 2 FHD monitors connected to it, I'm able to mine at 25MH/s with 90W.

    With my second 1660 super, connected to PCI-E 4x and not having monitors connected to it, I'm mining about 20MH/s with 110W.

    I'm running windows 10pro w/ Ryzen 3700x and 24GB Ram. Clean install (just assembled everything yesterday). For mining I'm using NiceHash Quickminer, don't know if there are better alternatives but for now it's good (I guess, still learning)

    So, my question is:
    - Why the second GPU mines slower and less efficiently, is it because of the PCI-E lanes dedicated to each of them?, if so.. how does connecting several GPU to PCI-E 1x is at all profitable?

    PD: Both cards are 1660 Super but different brand.

    Afterburner SW and telling your GPUs apart?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2021 08:49 PM PST

    1.) Is everyone still recommended MSI Afterburner to adjust your various-branded nVidia GPUs and their clock and memory speeds? Or has something "better" come out?

    2.) if you have 5 of the same type (ex. 3060 Ti) but different brands, diff. default clock speeds, diff. # of fans, etc., when you go and try to tweak each card individually, how the heck are you able to identify which card you are adjusting? I can't seem to find a way to tag or nickname each card.

    Thanks much!
