Thats very impressive hash/power - 52+mhs at 111+ watts is super.

The blower style GPUs are always the best.

I have 1080ti and Vegas blower stlye GPUs and still working after 4 years running 24x7

I am still undecided if I want to invest in newer GPUs... very tempted though esp on the 5700

We will wait eagerly for your 120mhs@400watts rig review



Yeah I still have at least 7 1080tis and my partner buysolar has at least 6

I think we have

I   78.18   2 1080ti
o   82.01   2 1080ti
s   174.53   1 1080ti 1x 1080 , 2x 1070 1x 1660ti
z   433.57.     6 1080ti 4x amd 5500xt 2 amd 5700 1 amd 5700 xt

so that is about 767mh
adding

two builds

one will be 3 1660ti. about 80mh
one will be 2 amd 5600 and 1 amd 5700. about 120 or 130 mh

total of 210 plus 767 = 977mh  say 1gh and about 27-28 gpus.

whats the fastest ETH GPU miner currently?




Below are all my amd cards------ I am getting the msi 5600 cards. next Monday

and I am getting 1 other msi 5700 but it has 2 jacks
https://www.provantage.com/msi-r5700mgpc~7MSTI108.htm

I will report on them soon maybe Tuesday.









The best would be the eight pin msi 5700

https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5700-rx-5700-mech-oc/p/N82E16814137466

it is a 1 jack model

it was for sale as low as 330.

I get 111 watts and 51mhs  look at below it is actually better then that

They are sold out. But if you find them they seem to be the best I have found

FOUND A DEAL newegg msi rx 5600

Join retailmenot.com

blah... blah... blah...

I will build 2 of these will post the builds next week.

Oh I paid this with paypal credit 6 months to pay..  

Good find.  

I bought one.  Not sure if RetailMeNot is working or not. my account on retailmenot is saying "We're waiting for Newegg to let us know you've made a purchase.".. it's been 30 minutes.... but i couldn't pass up at least one with the rebate and the $30 off with the code you posted.  FYI, that code you posted expires after today.

the chrome extension wasn't adding to chrome.  Not sure if anyone else if having the same problem.

I have six msi 5700 mech oc in a system  and six msi 5700 evoke in a system and they basically fun flawlessly... no reboots for several weeks at a time.

I've got five 5600xt (not msi in a system) that do @ 182, the 3 powercolor cards have the updated bios (@39 Mh/s), whereas the two other cards have non-updated bios get @ 33mh/z.


I love my

1 msi rx 5700xt
1 msi rx 5700 blower style not sure if it was an xt
1 msi rx 5700 ---------- this is the best one as it uses only 1 8 pin jack and 111 watts for 51mhs
2 msi rx 5500 xt



About retailmenot

 IT will take up to 2 days to show it.

If it does not show follow up and ask them they will give it to you.


I have earned over 1200 in rebates from them since 2017


here are the only ones I had issues for and had to ask for the 3x $150 from HP

They did get them right.

Note I got a newegg for 25 right below
and the other newegg for 0 I did not purchase it.

if you never belonged they are giving 10% off

check here you can see

https://i.imgur.com/I6dtmO9.png

go to newegg from the retailmenot link

oh if you are an old customer they are giving 6% off.

buy these msi rx 5600 xt  gpu's

https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5600-xt-rx-5600-xt-mech-oc/p/N82E16814137498?Item=N82E16814137498

use this code

93XPR45

SO THE 289.99 card drops 30 bucks to 259.99

you get the 6% or 10% off from retailmenot. net = 244.40 or  233.99

if you do rebates you can get $20 more off 1 card = 224.40 or 213.99.

for a rx 5600 xt it is cheap.  you can buy up to 3 cards

https://msi.rebateaccess.com/promotion.php?p=91454


it does look like you can get 3 rebates on three cards.

the cash back at retailmenot caps at 50 bucks

so if you are new 10% off 3 cards should be 87 bucks but is capped at 50

if you are getting the 6% off 3 cards should be 52.20 but is capped at 52.

I found some old ready to use mobos that handle 6 cards they have built in cpus. onda

I found this psu for 70 bucks. https://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=110-BQ-0750-V1

So for 70 + 720 = 790

I have a 3 card rig that will do close to 120mhs and use under 400 watts

I will build 2 of these will post the builds next week.

Holyshit dude you're scaring me. I wasn't particularly gentle with taking off the crusted cement like thermal paste either ... now I need to get them online and check them asap.

Generally when the GPUs are new, you can easily take off the GPU from the heatsink because the paste isn't hardened like glue. However on an old GPU that was mined for a few years usually the 2 parts are stuck on.

I noticed I got issues only when I turned off the rigs to clean them, they mined fine for a few months, I just powered down to clean and it was when I powered the rig back up, it wouldn't boot and after inspection turns out one GPU basically went directly into BSOD during boot-up. I had a few GPUs do this and all of them had a thermal repaste job.

You can clearly see that almost everybody is powering up their rigs again. Pretty much as long as your power is $0.30/kwh or less, you are making a profit and this is based on the old RX series, some of the newer GPUs are even more efficient.

Hopefully this will last at least till Nov/Dec and not a couple weeks like last time when ETH boomed.

with issues recently with ETH v2 testnet, maybe we get maybe a few months more of mining till 2021  Grin

More delays of ETH 2.0 would be great, but as I understand it, even when implemented, it will now be a hybrid method that still allows mining during a transition period.  Many have speculated this could add 1-2 more years of mining for ETH.  What i have not seen directly addressed is the whether or not the block reward for mining will still be a minimum of 2.  If that is reduced to say 1 or 1.5, it may make it difficult to profitably mine ETH since the premium fee portion (addition) to current block rewards is expected to be significantly reduced with 2.0.

what if the hashrate of new cards can now do 100MH? may change your calculation hehe.

anyway, i like to point out that sometimes some miners are the last bagholders of their cards, the profit in between upgrades are better than one time selling. during upgrades high end cards is more easier to sell, you can give very big discounts since the card ROI'd several times already,

miner1: hey kid wanna 100$ 1080ti?
kid: i can play a lot of cool games with that. thank you

miner2: hey kid wanna 20$ 470 4gb
kid: fuck that shit, what am i gonna do with that play angry birds?

I am tempted to switch to mining ETH directly vs Nicehash.

ETH is up quite a bit, payout even for 2 ETH per block currently... the tx is huge - probably due to the that DEFI explosion - per tx needs as much as 8-9$ worth of gas/gwei!

https://etherscan.io/block/10658796

I am testing a rig to do dual mining, ETH and Zilica

Already switched with 6 GH/s, mining on ethpool.org, in 2 days I will get a block, will let you know if it was worthy or not...

3,54 ETH after 5 days of mining

thats great - with 6ghs. Whats power expense like?

With the 1.2ghs that I have now, I am dual mining ETH + ZILICA.

All of my 470,480,P106,1060 are offline now, still contemplating if worth to revive them....

I'm paying 0,12$ /kwh

If you  use smos you would not  need to do any bios work.

How would that work Phil? Is there a way to inject memory straps/timings at runtime in smOS?


Which meant that the solder joints somehow got cracked and I think it was during the thermal repaste job. So I don't do it anymore since it hardly had a temperature effect anyways on the cards.

You can do very solid clocks. they run stable

240+ GPUs sitting in the storeroom, waiting to be dusted... that's a big effort to put humpty dumpty back all over again..... to be useful for just another 3-4 more months.


I just had to deep clean and repaste 160+ RX 470's. Took a bloody week and I didnt have the energy left to flash them and set them up. Its been two years ... I had forgotten how much work this was.

I actually stopped doing any thermal repasting work. I used to do that to my old Litecoin mining gpus like R9 270 and R9 280X and I noticed was that sometimes the old thermal paste is stuck on the GPU, and you need to give it a yank. All is well however I noticed that after a few weeks certain GPUs would stop working.

Only fix was to do the oven heat method where you cook the GPU in the oven for a few mins, it always fixed it temporarily. Which meant that the solder joints somehow got cracked and I think it was during the thermal repaste job. So I don't do it anymore since it hardly had a temperature effect anyways on the cards.

My amd cards do really well on smos

my amd 5500 do 26-28 mhs and 63 watts
my amd 5700 do 51-52 mhs and 118 watts that is the software reading but the meter reading is not much higher.

Those 470 are the fastest roi cards atm, you can roi them once more in 3 months before they can't mine eth anymore but there are still other coins for them like rvn were they have decent speed but not great W/$
