Phil , could you sum up about prices :
what are the best prices you ever paid for new 1070 , 1080 and 1080TI ?

Thanks a lot

The best I've found...

1070 - $319
1080 - $419
1080ti - $639

Depending on where you live you'll have sales tax on those as well.

Due to demand it's pretty much impossible to hit those prices right now though Sad

Check out your local areas Craigslist, I have gotten 1070's at $300, 1080's at $380, and 1080Ti's at $600

Does anyone know a good trusted company for mining hosting that takes GPU miners?

If anyone was wanting to know about the Ryzen 7 1700, i ran it all night on nicehash while gpu mining.. it mines between 338-341h/s, i dont think that nicehash is optimized to use all the core and threads.. im only see load on the first 4

Not sure about the 1070's but here's what I get with the Aorus 1080ti (just tested to see how far it can go).

So, 80% tdp -100 core +1000 memory (max) gives 39.5 mh/s (however after a few minutes CPU starts to overload with high usage from afterburner. If I close it I'm left with the System process hogging the CPU (a cheap celeron skylake). +600 memory gives 36 mh/s and no CPU overload.

Wonder where the problem is. Too weak CPU?

try

0 core

+800 ram

even though eth like ram more then anything

it needs some core.

if core is too low it limits the max hash

what miner claymore?

if claymore try -ethi 16 in the bat.

I will try a rig with a better cpu. to see if I can create your problem

I am doing 2 msi aero 1080 ti at

75% tdp
174 core
860 ram
75% fan

and getting 38.5 on claymore with a -ethi 16 setting

using an intel i3 6100t

and cpu usage is 9%

I now bumped to 975 ram

and cpu usage is now 24%

so I would say using a shit cpu is your issue note i did this on win7

more testing weaker cpu and high ram clock = no go.

the better the cpu the closer to high ram clock , but in my case it seems that stable memory max is about 860 even with a i3 6100t gives me 38.5 mh.

but at 600 memory and a core of 58% it gives me 36.2

Must be the CPU then.
-ethi is already set to 16.
Your results are similar to what I'm getting.

Was just testing it out. Back to LBC for now.
Thanks for looking into it.

Back reading this thread is pretty cool, on page 16, haha.

In the mean time I have a question. Can I get away with 4gb of ram on a mining rig?

Asus z270ar
i3 6100
(2) Asus FE 1080ti
Evga GC 850

Or would 8gb be prefered?

I use 4GB of RAM in all of my rigs. I do bump up virtual memory to at least 16GB though.

I'm answering late to you message, sorry about it.
I'm trying to do it but I have few questions.

Quote from: xleejohnx on May 30, 2017, 07:41:05 AM

claymore ethman comes with a sample.bat file you use it to look like this

Code:

@ECHO OFF
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File  C:\minerTxt.ps1

then the powershell script needs to look like this

Code:

#Variables
$email = "[email protected]"
$phone = "[email protected]"

$ProcessActive = Get-Process dsNetworkConnect -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if($ProcessActive -eq $null)
{

$EmailFrom = $email
$EmailTo = $phone
$Subject = "Claymore Miner down" 
$Body = "Check Miners!!" 
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com" 
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587) 
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true 
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("myTower.local", "Passwordgoeshere"); 
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
}

-So I just copy paste

Code:

@ECHO OFF
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File  C:\minerTxt.ps1

in the sample.bat ? do I have to change the name of the file ?

-what is the "C:\minerTxt.ps1" ? is that a txt file I have to create and just copy paste that inside:

Code:

#Variables
$email = "[email protected]"
$phone = "[email protected]"

$ProcessActive = Get-Process dsNetworkConnect -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if($ProcessActive -eq $null)
{

$EmailFrom = $email
$EmailTo = $phone
$Subject = "Claymore Miner down" 
$Body = "Check Miners!!" 
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com" 
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587) 
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true 
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("myTower.local", "Passwordgoeshere"); 
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
}

updated with my mail informations of course

Sorry but never went in this kind of things before.

the c:\minertext.ps1 is the location to the file you need to make in powershell and yes just copy and paste those lines in powershell and change the info

'The right to privacy matters'

your tdp % reads 100% in msi and it reads 80% in gpu-z

sooo my guess is not every one of the 6 gpus is set to 80%

try 75% and do each gpu 1 at a time even if you marked them synch

I have had identical gpus marked synch not take the settings.

Testing Zotac 1070 Mini with ETH mining instead of ZEC - surprisingly how easy to get these 1070s going.

I am putting all my 1080tis on ZEC and all 1070s do ETH and join my AMD ETH farm.

I have 2 identical rigs, 6 x Zotac 1070 Mini -- this one mining ETH/Dwarfpool/Windows and the other twin mining ZEC/NH on nvOC Linux.

Final goal is to get both on nvOC and keep them on ETH mining.

I am doing the test remotely so I need to get the kill-a-watt readings later tonight when I visit the warehouse.

Its running solid at 181MH past an hour now using Claymore v9.5 on MSI Z270-A Pro, i3-7100, 8GB RAM, EVGA-1300w-G2

Anyone tested Zotac 1070 Minis on ETH yet? Anything to improve this rig further?

It is about USD0.11 in my country. I still have a day job.

That's great price!
In CZ it's about 0.15 USD, we have something called night current, it means better price at night.

We have that too, but the electrical utilities company will require a big deposit of about USD5k to enable "Off Peak" and "Peak" charges. Night is cheaper. Since we don't really know how long this mining bubble will last, investing that amount is risky.

Then from where I am staying now, 400/500 series GPU just ran out. You can't get them anywhere.
As you all would have know by now, mining is ADDICTIVE.
I wanted more and more rigs. Grin

It's so addictive I moved to "the land of VERY low cost electric" and went pro last summer.

i really should look into this xmr stuff, my ryzen 1700 may make me a few more bucks a day.. its watercooled so heat wouldnt be an issue

Ryzen is a good choice for efficient XMR (Monero) mining.
Not worth getting the cpu JUST for that IMO, but if you already have it....

ill be nice, this has taken me hours to compile on my Gigabyte 1080ti cards which are on stock cooling, all benchmarks were done at OEM stock settings. I was forced to run it at stock settings because some algos are incredibly picky with OC, i mean some will crash at the sight of +10 to the core freq.. just boggled me, the stock settings were the only settings i could get even numbers across EVERY algo the 1080ti's would run on all the CCminers i have used to date....... The intensity levels, ignore them they will be different on your machine, these are the highest i could get 1hr stability from each algo... im still performing the test....so all blank intensity boxes are DEFAULT levels with no manual correction
