Love the silver spray paint 

@yun9999 You being Tier 3 miner (big and scaled), I'd like to ask at what moment or capacity have you started to mine 'ganz solo'?

And if I may suggest to write your thoughts on when to mine solo and what coins, as a sort of a guide and stick it to the 1st post or link it. Others welcome to share their experience as well 

Ah i get what you mean ! yeah for sure all your current projects & side projects sure must be very time consumming, but it's fun isn't it ?   ALL FOR THE SEXYNESS 

Definitely a launch announcement delay from my sources as well, getting ready to phase out the 470 with some minor updates on the 570.     

lol angled aluminum is not hard to cut if one has the right tools lol, saying aluminum is hard to cut is like saying rig building is way way too hard to do, which it isn't. dunno what kinda stuff you tried to cut or use. but it works wonderful, stuff I get from the local hardware store holds up gpu's all the same. btw your wood rig frame looks better without the silvery paint, that does make it look tacky and cheap and not in a good way

@ysylung - Yeah this is just 1 of the many prototypes.  Have to keep modifying as I go for different solutions / needs.

@cryptowatcher = Why wood?  It's cheap, cost me less than $6 per rig.  I can modify it quickly, I can spray paint it quickly, I can make 20 rigs cuts in no time.  Each designs go thru many different iterations.  Even if it's off by a fraction of an inch, it may not work.  Same reason why they use Clay to model cars before wasting money on Metal and Aluminum as you have to constantly modify as you go.  

I don't think it's tacky at all.  As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even mind this being my final solution.  My 12 year old daughter did a great job with the spray painting.  Aluminum is harder to cut unless you get cheap thin aluminum which won't be great for support.  It's also definitely not cheap.   When I'm happy with my final designs and it's no longer call a prototype, then "meaby" it may make sense then.  I love talking like Tytanick.  Haha

@ m1n1ngP4d4w4n - That came out the wrong way.  I meant the amount of hrs I spent on mining,  If I calculate that on an hourly pay...........it's still very low.  So it went from below MacDonald average to shift lead.   We will need to make sure this rally last, otherwise the increase is just a mirage.


Since I have extra LGA 1151 CPU and DDR 4 memory.  I also ordered this Motherboard used to play last night.  

MSI Enthuastic Gaming Intel Z170A LGA 1151.  So sexy looking and for $100 used for a $179.99, why not.  Will test to see if it can handle 7 GPU.    Collecting all the different MSI Gaming MBs as I find them cheap to build my Sexy rigs.

@ bughatti :

You have problems with this card? You can not put 7 gpu?

look here

https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/11404/msi-z170-7-gpu-bios-setting-step-by-step

580/570 is just a reband. So there is no effect due to the delay. We can buy the 480 or 470.

hmmmm.... http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-580-570-launch-delay-rumor/

Ahah yeah you definitly need another house, woah you must make quite a bit for that hashing power not making as much as your work, i can understand where the means to keep with your hobbies are coming from ahah, keep up the good work friend 

@yun9999 why the use of so much wood for frames, you know angled aluminum is much more sexy to use compared to tacky ol wood, ill have to show you my open air frame, its a bit on the large size but most of that is cause the gpu's have 3 inches of space between each gpu, gpus run @ 74 degrees C with between 40 to 50 percent fan speed

censored ? me awnt pix pix pix !!!

only SEXY ones are allowed LMAO. replied you PM mate. back to work, lotsa rigs to be built.

always good to see new ideas & innovation by all miners.

@ bughatti - Will let you know.  Been to busy with life, haven't had time to do anything with GPUs.  Will let you know when I setup mine.


First PROTOTYPE - The FOUNDATION (EASY)

This one is designed for the HP 1200W / 1500W PSU but it's really the basic foundation layout design.  It will be incorporated / modified for my future prototypes of slide in cabinets.  The ideas is for fast deployment / troubleshooting of Open air but with the flexibility of Server PSU and I can stack them and put them into cabinets in later designs.  I do like the Metalic paint.  Very sexy!  





Nicely tucked in design for the HP 1200W or 1500W psu or even dual PSU if you want.  There is also spacing for nice LED panel or my Server power control panel.






This PSU is a high pitch screamer so you really need some FANs behind it to shut it up.  I built extruder bars on boths sides  that can accommodate fans.  However it is still not sufficient, so I'm ordering some Noctua tiny 40MM fan to stick it right behind the intake and see if it helps.  Worst case I will replace the front fan as well.  I want this solution to work as I have 10 of these PSU and breakout boards.  







I like this design. It's compact, portable and sexy.   The same design can be used with my IBM 4KW and I have even better design and plans for that BEAST!  I have a Dual Standing Tower design just for the 4KW.  It will be sexy!  

@yun9999

If that is the msi z170A gaming pro carbon, please let me know if you get more than 4 cards working.  I have one running now and all the hacks in the bios I still could not get more than 4 cards running without a smOS crash. 

v12.3 can push up to 300 sols/s for RX480

But..... RX cards is better for ETH mining.

heh mad scientist ... well, i think we just have to push ourselves to certain limits & must have those dare to try + push & take the next step attitude in order to be able to achieve what each of us want for ourselves. just my own opinion. yeps, i've got a few REALLY crazy stuff coming up, just gotta be patient including myself, most parts ordered, on it's way to me.

cryptowatcher did come out with a solution with drilling holes onto psu cover (width is about 8.5cm) + adding a fan (9cm) there to improve the cooling just like the method i suggested to you with the ibm BB's.

lemme dig the diagram/schematic out, if you intend to do that, find the "sweet" spot where the temp sensor is & cool it. HP cs psu are very compact psu's, just for more info, you can also manually adjust the voltage output for this psu too.

i just ordered another 20 of them but all of them are 1200w platinum ones. 1500's are still a rare species now & they do cost alot more. 2 x 1200w plat's are cheaper than 1 x 1500w.

i think i've spent a little over 4K USD yesterday just stocking parts up. alot more to come. stay tuned.

i use claymore 12.3 from here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-zcashbtg-amd-gpu-miner-v126-windowslinux-1670733

really easy to use software... and i point mine to the zec pool at suprnova.cc

just got my new 480 going on Nicehash (my first gpu for mining lol) and it put me on zcash. Am getting 231 sol/s. Is that good or should I try to push it more?

edit: up to 247 and still climbing....going to wait till it settles
       260 now

OMG !!!!!!

Impressive !!! respect !

I keep wondering how new AMD drivers impact hashrate. And see it in a table form 

Have seen this lately - https://www.techpowerup.com/228536/amd-bios-signature-check-re-enabled-with-relive-locks-out-polaris-bios-modders

Is there any1 bold and tech-thirsty to try and/or maybe compare the hashrate of the old/current drivers with new ones? RX 480 8Gb mining Eth is greatly welcome
