Go Big or Go Home.....
Ok, thanks for the confirmation.  I first tested it out with just one 390x connected via 16x riser, and that worked great.  Then, I installed TeamViewer, shut down, connected the other GPUs via 1x-16x risers, and restarted (without a monitor plugged in.  I thought I could just then use TeamViewer to connect and start up the mining software).  After work, I'll try restarting again but with a monitor connected during bootup to see if the other GPUs get started.

I've got 2x 1000w platinum PSUs to power the 6 gpus.  Should be enough.  While testing though, I've only got the 3 connected with 1 of the PSU.  I think 1000w is enough to power those 3 cards though...

No Prob.

The 390x's shoudl draw stock about 250watts each, the 280x's about 230watts or so. (as long as they are good quality cards).
'Most' 390x's you can undervolt and get back about 10-20% wattage, some more, some less.
I run all my 390's (non 'x') at 100mv undervolt, 1100/1500 settings (stock is 1015/1500) and they use 200-210watts each while getting around 29MH+ now.
Solo mining has been earning me 50% more than pool mining for the past week so I'm sticking to it. Some days I get 1, some days I get 5 blocks.

Hi, Im new to ethereum Ive downloaded the wallet but its just blank I tried opening it and closing it as some others have tried but nothing, Ive been running it for about 3 or 4 hours (machine 8 core 8GB ram win7) should it change itself once synced? I wondered if one of the Devs could put a bootstrap on here http://cryptochainer.com/dir/ to speed up the whole process? cheers

has anyone got any idea how long it should take to download the blockchain as you can see ive done well over 24hrs and still a blank wallet, I havent got the fastest internet connection at only 5.24mbps (all other details are above)  for roughly 19 of them hours the ethereum wallet is the only thing that has been running,  any advice anyone? I have tried closing and opening the wallet multiple times

Ive just found a download calculator and for an 11gb file (I think that's the size of the blockchain) it would take 5 hours! So now I have emptied C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum file to see if that does anything or not!!! :stranger shit has happened: but I will post an update

NO it does NOT..

I run a bunch of them with 5 GPU's each with no problems using USB 1x to 1x Risers.
You only need to plug in 1 GPU to the monitor so you can see what's going on. After it's all set and automated, no need to plug anything in.
Use a remote desktop software like teamviewer or gotopc, etc...

Make sure you're using a GOOD power supply and plug in the MOLEX cable into the Mobo.

not bad, considering that the constant decrease of rewards and drop rates

Dump you premined ETH and keep BTC. BTC is going to boom very soon!

I am not convinced of this at all. BTC is stagnant.

Bitcoin is stagnant at the moment. But the price will rise soon because of the halving. It could double.

yeah, btc soon at 800$, nice troll Cheesy Tongue

This looks very nice coin.

I'm going to test mining with my pc on this coin. anyone can tell me where to find best guides?
I'm using intel i7-4790k @ 4.8ghz and gtx 970.

Thanks in advance.

Sir, I wrote one of the most detailed posts out for mining ethereum on the web at the ethereum forums. I'm very active there and please don't hesistate to ask if I can help you get set up:

https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/5592/how-to-mine-get-started-fast-and-easy-for-windows-7-detailed-guide/p1

I just resolved all of my wallet sync issues and have started mining ETH.  In your guide your wrote "Spending 24 hours planning is 2-3 ether lost at 100 MH/s. Don't be silly and spend all your time planning."

Is your reference to 100 MH/s the pool rate for the miner or is it the client measured rate?    I ask because I put a little over 200 MH/s to mining ETH on nanopool and it shows me earning about .3 ETH per day.  This  appears to be backed up by the deposit I received last night. Also, nanopool is consistently underreporting my hash rate.  I understand their calculation is based on shares but they show a 6 hour average rate of about 28 MH/s which is only 14% of my actual hash rate!  I have seen pools for other coins pay as low as 80% but 14% seems ridiculously low.

What are other people getting?

Yes it is stagnant because it is been accumulated to skyrocket as halving is nearing!

I've built my first mining rig made with 4x 390x and 2x 280x.  I've plugged in one 390x via a 16x - 16x riser, and plugged in both 280x via 1x - 16x USB riser.  But, Windows 7 doesn't recognize either of the 280x's.  Neither do they light up or seem to power on when I start the rig up (unlike the 390x of course).  In the device manager, I see an entry called "Other devices", and listed under that is "Unknown Device".  I'm wondering if that is my 280x gpus.  Does anyone know, do I need a special driver to be installed in order to power/use a gpu connected via 1x - 16x risers?  Any help would be great, I really want to get this thing hashing Cheesy Thanks!

I found somewhere that win 7 only allow only 4 cards at same time, win 8 allow 5 cards. I wonder if someone knows the way to make win 7 work with more than 4 cards. I didn't make it work. One was always unrecognised.

If you can disable any of the monitor out puts on your card then in theory you should be able to run more.

Some cards have software them let you turn off the outputs. Some have extra pins so you can turn them off.

Short of that, there might be a command in the registry that lets you decide how the GPU's are timed but I would only look into this if you know what you're doing

I use platinum power supply as my power consumption is very high for each rig. So save some electricity.

The platinum power supply will save about 2% electricity against a gold one. So if your farm is big, you will save.
