A last question ...

Is it still profitable to invest in mining equipment rather than invest directly in the currency I want, such as ethereum for example?

A friend told me that in view of the increasing difficulty, it was better to buy cryptomonetary units directly than to invest in equipment ...

Apples to oranges really.

I'm sure it's been talked about on here a ton but just looking at the basics

investing is crypto is just that - price goes up from your buy point, you make BTC, Price goes down from your bp you lose BTC (if you sell of course) - very cut and dry.

with mining equipment it will start earning back your ROI - and you'll be able to hedge and recoup loss if things go south by selling off your hardware, most likely and hopefully not at a huge loss

Just my 2c

In summary the configuration will look like this:

Motherboard: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_w_cm_1151_puis_ref_est_in10093562.html

Processor: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_wpr_puis_ref_est_in10102002.html

Power supply: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_w_ali_puis_ref_est_in10087568.html

Graphic cards: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_wgfx_pcie_puis_ref_est_in10102653.html

Ssd: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_w_ssd_puis_ref_est_in10099646.html

You think this is valid?

Yup that is valid, if you have an old hard drive you can use it to save money on the SSD but all in all that is a pretty good rig.

Thank you Jdope, It's nice to take the time to answer every time
With all that, I think installing simplemining like OS and it should do it I believe ^^

If I summarize the information you gave me at the moment.
I take 6 graphics card rx 480 8giga like this: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_wgfx_pcie_puis_ref_est_in10102653.html

Then I supplied myself a feed like this: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_w_ali_puis_ref_est_in10062738.html

On the other hand for the motherboard that then I choose?

MSI z170-a PRO or MSI z170a gaming m5, if you can get a hold of an ASRock h81 pro btc that would also be good.

For six cards you require a minimum of 1300w for sure...

You could do it with a 1000w PSU as I have 2 rigs that do that but I will say it is better to go with a 1200W-1300W so that you can more safely dual mine and not have to worry about stressing your PSU.

If I understand 6x rx480 8giga are still a good choice
I just need to find a website with a stock ^^

What Do you think about these => https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_wgfx_pcie_puis_ref_est_in10102653.html

Thank you all for the help 😉

I have these, they're mining away at 28.x, they're stable and have good cooling, with an outside temperature of about 35 Celsius they are at about 60-65 which is awesome!

Happy to read that, now I just need to find a mobo for 6 graphic cards
I already have 3 risers usb pci to pci e
Depending on the motherboard I will find, I will buy other risers in pci-e to pci-e or pci to pci-e

For the psu I think I need a minimum of 1000w

the rx570/580 cards are just a rebrand of the 470/480s. Its basically the exact same card. The 470/480s are quite hard to find at the usual price of $200-250 now. Bunch of 3rd party sellers gouging the prices. Go for the 5xx cards.. when the Vega series come out I'm sure you'll see 5xx come down in price.

Why rx 480 8gb?

580 and the rest new cards have marginally better or the same hashrates as 4XX cards. At the same time their power consumption is like up to 30% higher and the cards themselves are still quite expensive. On the other hand soon we'll have no choice as 4XX cards will simply run out of stock everywhere.

I haven't been able to find RX 480s instock anywhere for under $300. The RX 580s are the future, whether you like it or not. Stock is hard to find. I have multiple in-stock notifications and buy them when they pop up. What I really need is a Ingram Micro or Tech Data account Wink

So what's your advice, take 3 GTX 1070 and not 6 rx480 ?

Like I said before, I can't put more than 2000€ for the moment in my rig...

I would like to take rx 480 because they have the best performance in Mhash compared to al electricity consumption.
If I'm not mistaken...
Compared to investing in Nvidia graphics cards I'm not sure, I've read a lot that amd cards were better for mining.

that's not really true, nvidia are on par if not better than amd now, with many algorithm pro nvidia, also amd consume more per hahs than nvidia on average, the efficiency is better on nvidia and was always like that in the past

What Do you think about 6 rx 480x 8giga ?

Do you know where I could find the hardware for the best price ?

it's better to go with 570 or rx 580 with amd, 480 is an old gpu already, but i would suggest nvidia now, on skein they do pretty good, the 180ti is beast of gpu can mine you an insane amount of $ in one month, try to look at newegg if you are in the USA or just amazon
