I am getting all my RX480s to hard labor now to max my available power.

My sources in Shenzen shared with me that come November, we may see a sharp drop in hash due to 4GB cards going offline. This should give us enough time to get ready...

If ETH goes ballistic hopefully I can source enough OEM 5700XT on K35s from Shenzen, before the herd comes in.

Think I got myself a partner who will be able to help with liquidities. I'm considering waiting another 6 to 7 weeks to see if 3070 is a better choice than 5700 XT though. Hope I won't be too late to the party. Embarrassed

Waiting for the 3070 is not a good idea.

You should consider doing 2 rigs

one with 5700/5600/5500

and then one with 3070 later.

If you are USA based. You can be mining by Tuesday the 8th

buy 2 of these

buy 2 of these

https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Nitrogen-Profile-RL-NT09-115X/dp/B01BVC8IVS/ref=sr_1_4?

buy 2 of these

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SanDisk-Ultra-Fit-USB-3-0-16GB-32GB-64GB-128GB-Flash-Drive-Thumb-Stick-Memory/202545849718?

that has you ready to do 2 rigs.

155+20+30+11 = 216 and you are ready for cards for rig 1 add 5 cards

1 in slot 1,3,5,7 and a short card in slot 8

easy peasy rig is running in under 35 minutes if you use 1 visiontek 5500 xt and 4 msi 5600 the 5 cards are about 1250

rig does around 188mh uses under 800 watts

then hold the gear for rig 2 and load up on the 3070.

This game is always about hedging.

Go all in on the amd = could be all wrong or all right
go all in on the Nvidia in 7 weeks = could be all wrong or all right

go 50-50 amd now Nvidia later = has to be part good. could be both good.

We dropped a bit in earnings today. But its all good.

Still doing well.

Phil..... push your hash to 2gh/s to get 180-190$ per day!

Well That will be a bit too hard. For now.

Maybe late next week I will order more.

I need to sort the numbers out and take a breather.

I still remember this GT7 Racing boards.

I got 6 rigs up with Sappire RX480s on these board after Phil's successful rig builds back then.

I still have them but need major dusting.

We were hoping that we could use all 7 x PCIs on the board but it wasn't the case.

This was way before we discovered the Onda or Colorful or K35 riserless 6-8 PCI boards.

I never flash bios.

After tweaking I have them at 40 now it is good enough.

my four xmr rigs are using 3 5600's and 2 5500's

grand totals are 120 + 56 = 176 mh

and 11+11+23+27 = 72 for xmr

these rigs are now making 20-25 a day total they were costly and will take a long time to roi

Maybe a year or more.

they use about 1500 watts no sha 256 gear earns

25 usd for 1500 watts

I will check the gear to get a kwatt reading for all of them

1500 watts is 36 kwatts a day or

7.20 for 20 cent power
5.40 for 15 cent power
3.60 for 10 cent power
1.80 for 5 cent power

If I mine all year round in my garage. they could break even by next September.

I have 2 xmr rigs shut down at the moment I will add a card to each soon.

At that point I will sit back for about 30 days.

So today

2 visiontek cards arrived 28+28 = 56
1 msi 5600xt 39
1 xfx 5600xt .................................... 39
total hash added today .......................... 134

these were added to my xmr rigs

Have you bothered to BIOS mod the 5600xt's? I read you can do a basic 1500 strap mod on them for like 43Mh

All these 9 threads started with me and 1 gpu.

[...]

yeah ive read em all (wait maybe i missed the 1st couple.. gotta find em now). some cool setups in your garage and den, not to mention the farms. buy new toys, play gently with them, sell some of them while the price is still near list. nice business strategy.. win/win

didnt you have you have a special edition titan? like star wars edition or something in a display case?

I'm about to build a 6x 5700 rig... getting GPUs 4 & 5 tomorrow and trying to find a decent deal on #6 now but looks like retailers are getting wise to the demand uptick as the cheapest 5700-XT appears to be the MSI Evoke at $380 but no rebate (I already got 1 of those coming tomorrow for $360 with the August rebate).

MSI has the september rebates up now.

https://msi.rebateaccess.com/promotion.php?p=91539
https://msi.rebateaccess.com/promotion.php?p=91540
https://msi.rebateaccess.com/promotion.php?p=91541

Cool! That's a nice little bonus since i bit the bullet and ordered another Gaming X last night from NewEgg... just to complete my rig, even though no rebate or sale... but now that's an extra $20 back that I didn't expect!

32 on line 5 coming by thursday. brings me to 37 cards. about 1.3 gh of hash.

I think my partner has 2x 1080ti to add so close to 39 cards and 1.4gh.

i feel like such a piker lol. putting a couple 1080tis and a 1070ti back in my onda rig for eth. its currently got a couple fpgas that do 45 mhs each so maybe a bit over 200 mhs.

at least the cooler weather is here. that thing is in my basement.

I sold all my 4G cards this week. Might regret it but I doubt it. Made a new rig, 1 5700XT, 1 5600XT, 2 570s 8G = 565 watts wall reading / 147mhs. Will we see 5-10$/GPU again ? Looks like it...At 10cents usd power even a R9 380 makes 1.20$ profit a day. Is that sustainable ? Hint: no. But lets keep it rolling til November at least, then bitcoin pump pls

I am still dusting off my 470 4gb Sapphire Nitros..... and there is lot of them. Best performer based on price/hash/power.

A bunch of Gigabyte 470 4gb too but they are shit cards, most of them died first, lousy fans too.

All my NVDIA (1080ti/1070ti/1060/p106), Vegas56,64 are now mining ETH fulltime.

Racing to get the 480 8gb first, and then the 470s up (or maybe the other way round 470s first)

The 4gb cards will eventually stop mining ETH when epoch goes beyond 4gb by mid November 2020

I havent popped my circuit breaker yet, fingers crossed.

Should I even start dusting the R9-390s?

Its pretty amazing that these old GPUs can still bring home the bacon.

the 4gb cards do kapow

I have 1 1050ti it is making 85 cents at low watts under 100

Thanks to all you guys who "forced" me to get my GPUs dusted and earning again.

1ghs = 100$ worth of ETH per day!

even Nicechash cant keep up... at 1ghs = 88$ per day.

anyone knows about the new RTX-3070/3080, its suppose to be the incoming King of GPUs

Quote from: fr4nkthetank on September 01, 2020, 10:06:56 PM

1.3ghs is good, especially with high efficiency gear. It will be paid off quite soon i think.

I have about 2.5 ghs... so much that i've popped the main breaker Shocked

this will be a natural occurrence, maxing out their electrical lines hehe.

people who are going to venture to bigger farms might get burned when trend reverses. so move fast...really fast Grin

All my equipment is paid for by mining revenue. I mine to buy more equipment. Grin

My conundrum now is to maximize efficiency.... so i can buy more equipment Shocked

OK not buying any more 5700XTs. My MSI Gaming X died last week. My Gigabyte OC just died today. I guess DDR6 is not made to handle those high temps.

Pretty sad considering my 390s were running VRMs near 100c at times and mined 3 years no problem. My RX 470s from 4 years ago are still going strong.

here is a brain storm.

BITCOIN

(not asic miner here so if i miss something feel free to correct)

2017 antminer s9 13.5 TH @ 1300 watts
2020 antminer s19 95 TH @ 3200 watts

that 2.5x power, so if we assume 2.5 x 13.5 TH is 33.75 TH

33.75 TH versus 95 TH both at 3200watts .... that's an x3

ETHEREUM

2017 1080ti ~50mh

2020 1080ti, 5700/xt, 2080ti, 2080......40-60mhs

I think mhs is getting more valuable, gpu miners are dreaming of a x2 like 100mhs, x3 (~150mhs) is still unlikely but not impossible.

games BTW showed up to 80% increase in 2080ti vs 3080 (drivers and mining software are not optimized yet)...optimistic to a x2 mining mhs.

ETH is more pump-able compared to bitcoin, $400 to x3 is 1200$ besides inside ETH there are pumps too within it's tokens hehe.

sideline watchers are about to join the GPU mining bandwagon when rig porn with 3080 and 3090 cards with talks of massive profits hit this forum (NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE THOUGH LOL Grin

)

P.S. watch out for GPU buying itch/frenzy/fiasco...coming very soon hehe
