Hello Forums,
I have built my first mining rig, I went for a little bit cheaper option with 2 cards only because I wanted to see how it goes before I blow more money into this. I ordered 4 more of these cards, along with 6 risers.

Rig

- Asrock Fatal1ty H270 Performance,
- Kingston Hyperx Fury 4GB DDR4,
- Intel Celeron G3920 Dual-Core,
- Radeon SSD 120GB
- ASUS GTX 1050ti Expedition 4GB x6 + 6 Powered 1x -> 16x Risers,
- Corsair RM750i 750w 80Gold

Total cost: 1650$

Set Up

BIOS Settings
  • Update BIOS using EZ Flash
  • Above 4G Decoding - Enabled
  • Top of low usable drain - 3.5GB
Unless you set the settings like these there is a high chance your RIG wont even boot.

Windows 10 - Low Hash Rate, around 2.2 MH/s per card. Maybe I should've updated Windows, but gave up on it quickly.

Windows 8.1 - Installing windows 8.1 fixed the low Hash Rate for me. Setting the EthDcrMiner64.exe's priority to Realtime in Windows Task Manager, my Hash Rate stabilized to "maximum possible", never dipping below that even when playing games (using Intel's HD integrated GPU for games, of course).

NVIDIA Driver - Install the newest driver from NVIDIA website. Current newest is: 384.76 for 1050ti. Any driver does the same so don't worry. If you want to update your driver, first download DDU to uninstall previous driver with it. It is highly recommended.

-epsw x

-dpool dcr-eu.coinmine.pl:2222
-dwal coinmineUsername.worker
-dpsw coinminePassword
-dcri 60

Overclocking
- Power Limit: 100%,
- Temp Limit: 83*C,
- Fan Speed: 10*C = 10%, 20*C = 20%... N*C = N%

This is all that I've found out so far about OC-ing the cards for mining.
  • In case you are mining ETH / ETC only, pull the Core all the way back to -400 (Lowest), and Memory to +1000 (max) on each card, but on the last, 6th card. I've found out that all of my cards actually work fine with max OC on the Memory (even though it's Micron), but the last one crashes the entire system if set above +850. Core clock has absolutely no influence when you mine ETH / ETC only, so lower it down to minimize W drain and cards temperatures.
    ETH ONLY: 94 MH/s (15.5 MH/s per card)
  • In case you are mining ETH / ETC + DCR / SC... You need to up the Core high now. Maximum stable I god today is +225 to the Core, and +1000 to the Memory (except the last card which is at +850 Memory) Core clock seems very significant when dual-mining.
    ETH + DCR: 82.5 MH/s (13.8 MH/s per card), 1650 MH/s (280 MH/s per card)

Thanks for reading, have a nice day Smiley

thanks for information

win10 64bit

385.41 drivers

I have total about 20 cards 1050ti almost each different but, every card without 6pin plug

every card can do +1000 and 15,8mhash

I tested 7 cards total (the same zotacs)

in msi afterburner core -400, mem +830-850


power limit 70 - 99,8mhash 405W
power limit 71 - 102,3mhash 414W
power limit 72 - 104,5mhash 423W
power limit 73 - 105,5mhash 431W
power limit 74 - 107,5mhash 445W


PS
i  tried with ethos (newest update 1.2.7) 15,8mhash each card but total 530W power

I tried to set power limit (on global power tune i got 12,5 per card and 430W total - so windows is better

What about Nicehash? Have you tried to hew through it? I'm on it at the moment and it turns out more profitable than to mine on the pool.
i tried my 1050 ti with their app, of course without any modification, on windows 7 and you may not believe the result,
 Cheesy

it was showing around 200h/s  Cry

so i thought its best to just uninstall their app and think about a real miner.

but today after i turned my pc on again, the nicehash miner came up ans started working while i had uninstalled it the day before  Shocked  Huh

now i have 4 giga 1050ti and 2 giga 970 which will use for gpu mining and few i7 4770k for cpu mining when my they are free at nights

i hope to get some results near the op stat Grin

Which Riser did you Use (Sata Connector / Molex Connector / 6 Pin Connector)

Ive got 2 systems right now with 6 1050 tis in each.  Running Windows 10 with powered risers.  All works flawlessly.  I have had almost zero crashes (and in those couple of times they just stopped mining for a bit).  And about a 99.5-99.9 acceptance rate.  I predominantly use Nice hash for the algo switching.  Max profit.  Right now Im getting between 4-5 USD a day.  At times a bit more.  I like the fact that the cards use minimal power.  I started with 1, just to "try it out".... Next thing I knew i had 14! LOL

I dont use Nicehash but is 4-5USD a day is per rig or total of 2 rigs?

Each...  My rate has actually gone up lately too.  I take breaks here and there to mine ZEC for myself... they do great for that.  Nice thing about the 1050 ti is the lack of a need for additional power beyong the pci slot

Yes, just checked the whattomine, 6 X 1050ti is about USD4-5 per day. And you mentioned the pro of 1050ti on no additional power required.

Can a standard 1000W Power supply with 6 Sata Connectors, supply to 6 1050 Ti's.
Considering that my MSI Geforce GTX 1050 Ti do not have 6 pin Connector.
Will it be able to take all the power from the PCIE 1x to 16x Extender.
Any help would be appreciated... 

Usually one molex of power cable can power up to 3 sata risers, but you can check with your PSU to see if each molex can draw more power for more risers.

I have CoolerMaster V1000 Power supply. It has 9 Sata Connectors.
Even if i connect 6 1050 Ti's and each one of them consume around 57W.
Will the Power supply be able to provide 57 * 6 = 342W through SATA Connectors considering the SATA Connector Wires are strong.

Thanks for the Help in advance.

idk man thats sketchy
i honestly got rid of all my 1050ti's as i only had sata risers and they will burn up, even at 70% power
Not safe man, not having external pins sucks, use PCI-E connectors or cry later Cheesy
plus, ugh, 1050ti makes like 75cents a day now :/

How about Molex Powered PCIE Risers.
Would those be able to provide sufficient Power... Would those be safe...
