Got it - thank you!

Many rebates are only one card.

If you want six card rigs. You can not use the Intel 6000 CPUs.

But the best CPU miners are the 6000 series
My best results are Intel 6700t Intel 6500t Intel 6400 t. All do around 21-28 h each

If you want a six card rig the only Intel I have for the z97 or h81 is the Intel i7 4785t.

Does 18-19 in the hp 800 mini.

It could be higher. I only ran it a day.
I would get an i5 maybe the i5 4690t

Or the i5 4570t but I am guessing

RX 470

I guess it's the latest ... just wanted to be sure before installed some shit again

thanks

Questions to Phil and other gurus:

I'm going to build a second rig:

At least 6 GPU - 7 is better

Good CPU to mine CPU coins (ZCahs now)

MD which will support it

Reasonably prices Titanium PSU

Any recommendations?

There is a 15$ rebate on Nitro+ on newegg. Does it mean if I will buy 6 cards - I will get 90$ - or it is per order?

Thank you in advance!

What are your graphic cards ? Because even if Claymore said to use 15.12, he also said to use the latest ones for some cards.

I reistalled win 10 until I use ETHOS.

I tried to install Crimson 15.12 like Claymore say ... I don't have the video option in the list ?

Anyone had that issue ?

Should I just install 16.9.2 ?

I just did it. So far, I'm reporting 105 Sol/s for my rig composed of one 380 and two 470. I might improve it, but I have not the time now, pretty tired. I'll post it here if something changed.

---

Maybe just tell it to run with three threads ? That might be the solution.

agree 100% on both statements!

Phil, which CPU miner are you using for ZEC?  I tried to use nicehash at the same time as Claymore GPU ZEC and it first knocked 25% off my Claymore rates, then crashed my system.

Looking for a solution to put my 6800k to use on ZEC that doesnt impact Claymore.

clayyyyyyyy moreeeee


thank you.

and you are about to get rich.

2.5% damn!


still worth it.

Also, i think Aries calculates his W usage per card differently that some others. Through his help, I have modded the exact same GPUs via the same method and got them close to what he is getting (I'm low to mid-60's vs his 58) but to clarify, these are the wattage readings per card that apps such as Wattman and others show, and they do not necessarily capture all of the power being consumed by the GPU (this is my understanding anyway).  As an example on my rig when it was running ETH using CDM... I showed about 75W per card being used for a total of 300W. But, my total at the wall was 625 or so.  At that time, my system running nothing but MinerGate mining XMR was using 140 at the wall.  So... 625W - 140W = 485W being used by the 4 GPUs (~120W/card)... not the 300W I calc using 4 x 75W.

Although I don't know what else Aries is running on this rig (I suspect not much, if anything at all), you can do a similar calc using his stats to get the "effectve" wattage pull of the GPUs. 

6 x 58W = 348W.  669W at the wall... maybe about 100-120W of that is system at idle or other minor usage... so, say 550W total for 6 GPUs = effective use of about 92W per GPU. I don't claim to understand why there is a difference between what certain apps show per card and what they actually pull, but just trying to say there are difference ways to look at it.  Also, Aries seems to be very adept at getting the most out of his cards at very low wattage.  I have been trying to match his results for a few weeks now and can only get within 5% on 1 card... the other 3 are still using 10-15% more wattage than his 6-card average... for the same exact MSI RX-470 4GB GPUs.

I have modded all of them to include overclocking and undervolting to answer your questions on watts.  Claymore's ZCASH miner v1.0 just came out and I just downloaded it on 4 of my rigs.  I will let the group know the $ SOL as soon as I can have a few hours of operation.  Right now with only 2.5 hours of operation.  I just got my first payment of .01SOL=$6.97 for 2.5 hours of operation.  I just started configuring my 4 rigs to ZEC 2.5 hours ago and did not get all of them running for an hour.  So..not too bad right now.  haha  I think I am liking this ZEC!

How come Watts per GPU is that low with only 58 Watt. When I check all videos, youtube, google websites regarding TPD power of RX 470 is 150 Watt , have you tweaked them or something or have you modded the Bios like many persons are suggesting on the internet ? Also I am getting a core i3 6100 with an Amd RX 460 is it worth mining Zcash as Ethereum it isn't (in ethereum only 18-22 USD per month profit) ?

How much profit you make in Btc with 41 SOL  for a month ?

Just tried to run NHM CPU on ZEC concurrently with Claymore GPU ZEC and had bad results. Firstly, the hashrate on Claymore dropped by about 25% from 40/card to 30/card.  That alone won't do since Im only getting 23 S/s from my 6800k CPU... so that would be a net loss of 17 S/s.  But, even worse, after about 5 minutes, it crashed my system.  Rebooted, reset GPU settings in Afterburner, launched Claymore again and crash within 1 minute without anything else running.  Reboot again and now Claymore running stable for close to 20 minutes, but Im disappointed about not being able to run both at same time.

I think this is a NHM issue more than Claymore ZEC since as I mentioned, NHM CPU also hosed my CDM ETH miner yesterday while trying to run both.  As it stands I am more than double my sol-rate on this rig vs yesterday but it sucks to have to leave the CPU idle when it could be pulling 23 S/s.  Also, this equates to a double suck (unless somehow rectified) as I just ordered a 4790K CPU yesterday for my 2nd rig.

Claymore's ZCASH miner v1.0
Equipment: 6 x RX470
Results: 258 SOL
SOL per GPU: 41
Pool: FlyPool
Watts per GPU: 58
Watts at the wall: 669
Running Steady for 10 min

Oh yeah rock solid as usual!
Getting 834h/s for 20 cards so abot 41S/s per card, 3x480 and 17x470.

Yup! just got it up and running on my 1 4-RX 470 rig.  Running nicely at 40-44 S/s per card (over-clocked & under-volted).  This is WAY up from the 13 I was getting using NHM and while certainly not near the 100 that was initially hoped for, that's a 3x increase that I will gladly pay the 2.5% fee for!

Another thing is that this takes WAY less power than mining ETH.  My full 4-card system only pulls 400-450W running this (and nothing else)... it was using 630-650 with CDM solo mining ETH, so about a 35% reduction is a nice additional bonus!

Waiting a bit to start up NHM for CPU mining. Hopefully there won't be any conflict. When I ran NHM CPU yesterday concurrently with CDM ETH, it completely hosed my ETH returns.

he says he can still improve the miner..

I got 5 x 390 = 270sol/s per rig.

So much for the 100 sols/s per 390 as promised by Claymore.... but I am not complaining, its very stable and all too familiar features like CDM and XMR miner.

I think they will be a big movement from ETH miners in the next few days....

45 sols on 280x
50 sols on 390, 290x
50 sols on fury
45 sols on 480

all on stock
