I am thinking about mining ETH.
I have an I7 6900K with 64GB of fast memory. My graphics card is a bit old so I'm thinking about getting an overclocked ASUS 1080 (cuda core = 2560).
I have free electricity.
What do you recommend cpu or gpu mining?
What might I expect from each on a per month basis?

Thanks

You have a very fast CPU. It is better to use that to mine the ZCash. For the GPU, you can mine both ETH or ZEC.

can you point to a reference of how to set up ZEC mining? I would use CPU or Gpu for this?

Actually for people who want to mine ethereum with the lowest watts spent a good choice is core i3 6100 51 watt and Amd RX 460 73 Watt so in total you will not use more than 150 watt including other PC components.

The downfall is with such card you will only profit about 2.3 Eth per month or 0.033 btc or 20-22 USD per month pure profit.

I would love to hear more low power mining rigs than this.

Please take a look. I am mining with a AMD 7950. Is it ok ? It seems people are getting more hashes than me. I am using windows 7 64bits. Catalyst Version 15.11.1
Please help me. I am mining with ethminer and in dwarfpool

those rates are normal.

be cautious reading old guides when it comes to reported hash rates. as the DAG grows hashrates fall off. for some cards more than others. 7950's are particularly affected.

you can always squeeze more out with bios flashes and other tweeks but i would just enjoy your cards for now..

is there a tool to reduce electricity consumption so that power consumption was not too extravagant at the time of mine ethereum?

You can reduce the voltage of the card to save the energy, but you have to reduce the frequency as well.

I think that what you are looking for is called 'undervolting'

That is right. But you have to be very careful. Do not undervolt too much. Otherwise the card will not work.

I've got lots of questions about this and I don't even know where to start.
Usually I build bitcoin mining farms and get % every month for just paying attention to them.
Couple weeks ago I got the order to maintain the ETH farm where already are installed 60+ GPUs (r9 380, r9 470x 480x) and they want to expand, maybe 100-150+ GPUs.
I don't know about profitability, because after Litecoins I simply switched to BTC.
Honestly I really don't care if they will loose all their money invested in GPUs and ETH itself, but can I give them some kind of advice maybe?
Until then I have some technical questions (and I don't know ask them here or somewhere else but I'll still ask):
What is the best OS to to install on SSDs? (ATM they have mixed versions of windows). I tried to research but found nothing. Will ubuntu do it's job or win7 professional is better? I didn' liked the EthOS..
What is the best software or any technique to monitor (not control) all the rigs at once? Remotely or locally?
that's it I guess for now (:

The Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 are all fine with the Etheruem mining. For the new AMD cards, they work well with 7 and 10.

thanks for your answer, after some research I thought the same and what about the monitoring software ? Is it possible to monitor all my GPUs at one host computer ?

If you use the Claymore miner, it has built in monitoring software. You can also use the pool to monitor.

I saw the monitoring software I guess Ill build a VPN connection on site to use monitoring system outside the facility.
I'm also stuck with wallets and dwarfpool and maintaining mining config itself, if I won't find out how to miself I'll post here again, anyway thank you for your answer

Do not stick to a coin, mine what is profitable.If you do not have time dual mining and intelligent mining can be alternatives.If you do not have time do not waste your money.

That is many small miners do. They usually switch to the most profitable coins to mine. They just mine.

If many farmers switch all the time, then the profitability for the mining will be simlar, there is no need to switch.

That is right. I stick with the Etheruem mining at the moment. It is almost one of the most profitable to mine.

Right about that its right now still the most profitable altcoin there is to mine in my eyes because others are already less more worth..
I think that we should also stay mining it because of this.

its one of the most profitable altcoins to mine on this moment so I think that is already saying enough.
It also has a good future so nothing is stopping you from start mining it..

To start now with mining ETH is really tricky. Nobody really knows when it goes POS. With 85k difficulty it is getting hard to roi your GPUs, even with zero costs for energy. POS could happen in Nov/Dec maybe Q1 2016. Thats not enough to pay your initial costs back.
