Topic: Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread! - page 120. (Read 34166 times)

 No current motherboard I am aware of has the 1-4-7 slot spacing to do what you want to do and have fairly good cooling to all cards without going to rather expen$ive "5+ slot" boards - and very few of THOSE put a 16-bit slot in that #1 position.

 When you start looking at paying $300 ballpark AND UP for the motherboard, you quickly start looking at other options.

Phil I´m following your threads from the beginning, thanks man!

By now, what is the best option for a mainboard for a non riser setup (ATX mb... no Onda and stuff) that fits with at least 3 GPUs of the same kind (no katana e.g.) ?!

Hmm, I just wrote about my positive experience running Ethminer 0.12.0 compared to Claymore 10.2 in another thread. Claymore *reports* a higher hashrate to me, sure, but I seem to actually earn more using Ethminer... I admit my experience is very limited, however, so I may have to revisit this comparison.

Neoscrypt is widely reported to be "memory heavy" like ethhash and cryptonight.

Cryptonight currently seems to be mostly mined with Cast or Stak-XMR - ccminer and Claymore have both fallen noticeably behind.
Equihash - add BMiner
Ethhash - I don't think anyone has used ethminer for a LONG time, mostly Claymore and some diehard Genoil fans, though there is a new "phoenix" miner out for Windows that I've not been able to check out yet.
Qubit - Baikal ASIC for over a year now.
I think the Baikal units also support Groetsl or Skein, possibly both, on their most recent design.
X11 - MULTIPLE folks making ASIC for over a year now, including Baikal, Pinidea, IBeLink, Bitmain, and Innosilicon
Scrypt - MULTIPLE folks making ASIC for 4+ years now, currently Innosilicon, Bitmain, and BW.com

Equihash - depends on the card to at least SOME degree, and sometimes different models of the same GPU work differently depending on where the FACTORY CLOCKS are set.
 Usually wants some OC on both core and memory, but I've got several 1070 cards that don't see ANY benefit to memory OC on that algorithm.



 Just got around to my daily check on Newegg - and OUCH, RX570/580 pricing just went through the roof and is now obviously pushing NVidia pricing.
 ONE model under $400 (yesterday still had a couple under $300) and 1070 pricing pushed WELL into 1070 ti pricing on the very FEW available cards for EITHER side.

Happy new year everybody! Let's hope 2018 is full of mined coins!

equihash does benefit from higher clocks, at least on my nvidias with dstm

too busy  maybe I did  do some on zpool  I lose track

I'm pretty new at this, but I found that the same OC settings for Equihash work well for Neoscrypt, too.

I responded in the wrong thread! How come you have never mined any neosh*tcoin ? Some of them do shoot up to incredible heights after initially being cheap and low difficulty. I dedicated one rig to these coins and a 2 out of 3 coins do make it big. I think neo is memory heavy, I do have like +400 on my 1070s.

From last thread



Never did neoscrypt.

"As far as I know it's a memory heavy algorithm."





Oh I am selling some older s-9's   and a T-9

they are a client's  not mine or buysolar

as is but tested and do work.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sold-antminer-t-9-rare-works-well-in-hand-sold-2673467  one full 3 board unit.

I have some interest in 1 s-9 and 1 t-9

set a wide range of freq older firmware was not stable at 600 or 550 but good at 525



locked at freq 550
