What temps are you getting with this cards?
Judging by the picture, he gets around 70 degrees for the first card and 60 degrees for the second card, but the fans seem to be set at 50%(at least for the first card).

Hi,
how many ETH did you earn a day  Grin? I am planing to build a cheap system like you before starting with more expensive ones.
Thanks.

I started 19 hours ago at stable 30MH/s with both cards. 0.01202 ETH is my current balance as of right now, thats 4.5$. I hope to hit 6$ a day.

OP you have some realllllly cheap power at $0.04/kwh to $0.01kwh.  Wow!

Yeah that is maybe reason #1 why I started mining. Cheap electricity = faster ROI

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.

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
