The asus dual and the sapphire are okay.
The asus can’t be pushed much but I liked them I had rx 470 and rx 480

@ citronick what's your opinion on moving a couple dozen from BTC into ETH
Thinking about diversifying my portfolio a little bit but not sure if I want to eat the fees or just keep it all BTC.
Thinking about diversifying my portfolio a little bit but not sure if I want to eat the fees or just keep it all BTC.
Currently, my Gemini account is 30% BTC, 30% ETH and 40% USD$
I have also Binance and Bittrex trading accounts... for about 12 more alts.
Diversity is key to growing wealth.
The Citronick System:
Every Monday - I see if BTC or ETH is high enough so that I can sell. If NO - do nothing.
Every Friday - I see if BTC or ETH is low enough so that I can buy. If NO - do nothing.
At the moment, BTC dipped below 15,900$ support -- so I will buy.
ETH is strong at 1225$ ATH and the rally since weekend show a lot of accumulation --- so I will sell.
RINSE and REPEAT.
Hey guys, I'm thinking of putting together a second rig based on AMD gpu's and I have the option to pick up the following GPU's from my local store:
- MSI RX 570 4GB Armor : $265
- ASUS Dual RX 580 4GB : $310
- SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 570 8GB : $355
- MSI RX 580 ARMOR OC 8GB : $345
Thinking of buying 6 gpu's, what would you recommend me to go with ? I keep on reading recommendations to go for 8GB but wondering if the price difference is worth it
Thanks

Personally, I have heard mostly bad things about the Armor cards, which is likely why they are one of the few models of 570s left available at this point. The ASus 4GB is probably ok if you are willing to risk building with 4GB cards. Nobody knows for sure when but 4GB cards are likely to start having issues mining ETHash relatively soon. Something to do with the increasing DAG size I think but dont quote me on that.
From your list, the best by far IMO is the Nitro 8GB. If you can really get them at $355, I would buy as many as possible as quickly as possible since I doubt they will be around much longer, esp at that price. In fact, if your source happens to have more than you need, please shoot me in PM as I would immediately buy up to 5 at that price.
Good luck with your build!

I discovered this case, Thermaltake Core X5 ATX Cube Chassis, can hold up to 8 GPUs.

Going by the specs, it might even fit the Onda 8 GPU Motherboard?

I sprung for a very high end monitor switch that will switch up to 8 rigs.
this was when I was all windows 7 back in 2016
I now only have 3 windows rigs not 12
I also had a medium price dvi/usb switch for 4 rigs.
so I could see up to 12 rigs on 2 monitors.
Now most rigs are on smOS and I just go to the website.
and check my various emails I have with my rigs.
yeah I actually would like to see no cards for the next month and prices skyrocket on cards.
If it happens I will sell some off .

I’ll check it out. Thanks

Yeah... all good mining cards are now gone from primary markets. Looks like a few 4GB 570s around but I don't want to invest anything less than 8GB at this point in order to future proof. It's one thing running 24x 470 4GBs... which are amazingly still very profitable... but anything I build from here on out will be 8GB and up only. Still need to get an electrician out to assess my house's capacity. I have 4 1070ti's ready to build and a 3x Vega rig already built but not running for fear of blowing up my house lol. I also have 1 measly MSI 570 8GB that I somehow got for $300 a few days ago. Ideally, if my house can handle it, would like to get 2 more Vega's and 2 more GTX... either 1070ti or 1080... and then possibly 5 more 570 8GB. But at this point, that is impossible, so will just concentrate on hopefully getting those Vega & 1070ti rigs up with 7 total cards and then see what happens with the market. Sorry, but I refuse to pay 2-3x retail for these things... even with the insane current profits. I sincerely hope some heads are gonna roll and both AMD and Nvidia over the 2nd horrendous under-call of demand in the space of 8 months!

Question. When you have multiple rigs. How do you tie them all into your monitor to view what’s going on?
smOS ?
@phil - my supplier over this side of the world said that there is new NVIDIA announcements after CES and there are price hikes too.
@rs1x - much going on with ETH developments, expect this to move even higher.... ETH is good for long hodl, especially in 2018 -- the year of the Platforms (see NEO, QTUM, ICX, EOS, etc.). BTC dominance may not be long.... BTC in #2 or #3 spot looks likely.

Yes, I read the same thing which is why I thought it might be useful to find out just how much is being used by which connectors/wires. I will almost certainly be populating my Onda D1800 (this is the 8 port one with the "Untel Celery" CPU) with much less ambitious cards than our fearless OP; likely all RX 570 on one and all GTX 1060 (3GB) on the other.
been too lazy to test . I have new boards on Monday maybe I will.Bah, let me contribute something useful to this thread, willya?
You did order some of the 8 PCIe port Onda boards, though, so it would be interesting to see if there are any differences. Also whether or not the molex/sata connectors on the mobo are bussed together or supply each card individually (in addition to the PCIe power connectors on the cards themselves, of course).
I will let you test the six card.
I have had multiple pms asking to buy some of these .
Not sure if I sell any.
And I don’t want to get stuck with rma losses.
Of the 21 B250 boards I think 2 and a partial doa
Which is ten percent. Not sure how to package a sale but I think
Buyers will get to buy a set of 1 six slot and 1 eight slot. For 333 - 350 shipped to USA no returns as is.
But I will test everyboard with an smos stick and nvidia card.
Only three sets. Leaving two of each for me.
Still not sure if that works for me. As last time I took a loss and spent about six or seven hours packin’ shipping testing.
I will break order down and show my costs and profit As I am not looking to score on buyers.
Some caveats I only used smos and nvidia with these boards.
I'm getting super jelly, to use an old South Park phrase, seeing all this Onda porn. As soon I as I get mine (and find some GPUs for it - looks like everyone is out of everything once again) I'll use my current clamp meter to determine which of the wires on the molex, sata, cpu, etc. connectors are actually in use; I seem to recall that being a question back in the 6th altcoin thread.
that would be cool.
thought i read someone had found the sata and molex connectors only used the 12v and ground lines (he disconnected the others) but i cant remember what board, and he didnt mention the cpu/atx lines. be useful info to know if i change to a server psu with pico adapter for my b250 d8p v1 board.

I got my DHL make sure you're home Monday to sign notification last week as well... I'm giddy with anticipation. I'm sure you're not, but I've never played with these boards yet, so I'm super excited Phil

EDIT - mine is the 6port Onda, not the 8 port; sorry for the typo!
