Check the amp rating on the breaker for that socket and also make sure you know what other sockets are on that breaker as well. All will need to be accounted for when calculating amp load. Run a Kill-a-watt or similar device on the sockets that are in use so you know how much you are pulling from each socket. 240v has the advantage of lower amperage at the same wattage so you can fit more on the circuit.

Use this to figure out your amperage based on voltage and watts:

Hey guys, how many rigs can I plug into 1 power socket? I have 220 - 240v outlet.

Each rig has 1000w - 1300w psu.

Do I have to check how many amps the socket is?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I just entered the details in the link you gave me..

Just roughly - 5000w, 240v = 20.83 amps.

So as long as I have 20amps I should be ok?

Also better to use 2 or 3 different outlets around the house to be safe?

Well, i dont think that its only metter of fuses , there is limitation of wires thickness in the walls . You just cant put 50Am fuse and load you outlet with 11-12 Kwatt. Wires will be hot and may damaged. Ive read on some forums that maximun safe load in that case is 4-5 Kwatt on single outlet, 11Kw - whole apartment

ffthomas and jwarren81, thanks so much for the info.

I will need to check out the wires and fuses first and will get back to you both.

Appreciate the help.

Whats the memory requirements for mining Zcash? I was trying to get my old 5850 1 GB to do a few sols in wait for my newer card to arrive but the driver crashes and mining never happens. Tongue

It depends on the wiring in the wall between the 20A fuse and the socket. I think you don't have the proper thick cable in the wall for 20A load and maybe the socket also won't sustain the 20A load. Try to use different sockets it can be safer. But this is just a tip, I need more information about wires, fuses, etc. in your house.

If you can use multiple independent circuits each going to a seperate breaker, then that's always the best case. If you are drawing 20amps, I personally would want that on a circuit that has a 30amp max to be safe. This is all assuming the wiring in the walls are up to spec as well and were properly installed. Some caution should be taken to monitor the circuits to ensure they are not overheating/overloading. Generally if there is a 20amp breaker on a circuit it should be able to handle 10-15amps as long as you're not spiking higher. Some algorithms and mining software can cause spiking of power outputs so you need cushion in there. Take things slow and be thorough . . . fires can absolutely occur by overheating improperly setup wiring.

Does anyone know why Sapphire is the goto brand for mining? Have a number of Sapphire RX480 (£240) but out of a batch of 12, 2 of them are not that good, constantly crashing. I am thinking of getting the ASUS AMD Radeon RX 480 STRIX 8GB version which is £220. What are the performance compared to Sapphire? I am getting roughly 300h/s on mine.

How about 8GB Asus Radeon RX 480 DUAL OC which is £190

yes sapphire is the best for mining doesn't matter what gpu model, 270's 380's 470's all my sapphire are faster than any others, mostly because they have higher ram frequency and they always the cheapest in my area

and my asus (have 380 only) are the worst

Thanks for the reply - thoughts on RAM? 4GB only slightly worse off than 8GB right? I am tempted to try out the 470 as they seem to represent very good value. Just thinking if the extra ££ is worth the very small increase in % hash

For ZEC mining you won't get any considerable increase in hashrate. For ETH or XMR? Hm.. Maybe it worth the extra cost on long term.

Could you please add an option to Miner Manager to change poll interval. Id like to tune check interval to bigger value. Thanks

Nitros are a bit lower on voltage than my gigabytes + sapphires have bios switches.
Gigabytes come with a 3 year warranty though.

Hi guys, would appreciate a little help please.

I remember the early claymore versions were using a lot of cpu power....Just wanted to know if the latest version is using much of the cpu because I want to use a celeron cpu..

Can anyone please confirm that celeron cpus are ok and if yes which ones are ok for 1150?

Also is 4gb ram enough?

Thank you.

Running 2 mobos one with a 1156 i3 and the other with a 1150 celoron. Both with 4 gigs of memory. On the 1150 uses 5% of CPU with 200 meg pages and 3 gig free phisical memory. All under win7, one home the other pro

Thanks so much for the info.....So basically the same..

Does not affect the speed of your GPUs?

What model celeron please?

I use Celeron G1840 in my rigs and I use Core i3-4160 only in 1 rig. I didn't experience any difference in mining hashrate. Claymore fixed the CPU-usage problem couple of months ago.

So you can use the cheapest Celeron for mining, everyone does that. CPU mining is not worth the investment and also the electricity cost, so you never need better CPU than the G1840.

try mining Nexus with cpu. I get 80 PPS with one core on celeron g1620 and it uses only around 15 watts but it slightly affects zcash mining. Accordingly to nexus mining calculator I get 0.6$ worth of nexus per day with electricity cost deducted. If you have better CPU then it maybe wouldn't affect zcash speed. I get 190 PPS with three cores on xeon e5450 3ghz. So if you run nexus miner for one month it almost pays back the processor.
