if you buy gigabyte crads dont forget to order new gpu fans the gigabyte gpu fans are totaly crap the get stuck after 2 to3 weeks on full mining they heat up and the plastic around the fans will start to melt and boom fan now has some new breaks hehe
Gigabyte uses a few different fans with their cards. Some are crap, most are fine. I've got a rig of RX 480/470 working for ~1.5 year non stop, all dusty as I haven't cleaned it at all (! gotta actually clean those, I guess), and none of them failed or even started making any noises. Got a few different nvidia cards made by gigabyte, 1060s and 1080s, and again all the fans are still working fine. The only fans I've had failing so far are the ones on Palit 1060s (stopped spinning after a while) and one Nitro RX480 started making all kinds of noises (but still spinning).

Out of the choice there I'd say gigabyte rx 570 4gb, everyone's going to tell you different though so i think you just need to bite the bullet, grab the boxes and get mining!!

that's weird first time to see someone recommend gigabyte cards over xfx i know that xfx manufacturing is great and it was build to resist but i will take your opinion under consideration too i guess everyone has his experience in this field
"Build to resist"? Reading too much marketing material, aren't you? March 22, 2018, 08:15:12 AM
I've had the most luck with MSI and Sapphire cards.
unfortunately, the OP doesn't have those brands. if OP has those brands, sure I suggestion MSI and Sapphire.for experience, yes I agree everyone is different. but for experienced a memory error, I have never..lol (just kidding)
I have 3 sapphire nitro 570 8gb Samsung memory and they r my best and favorite card. I started this post when I was buying a bulk purchase for my current set up.
If I could do it different I would try to go sapphire, then msi (friends have this card so I have seen it up close to judge it), then down the list of what I said earlier.
I would also purchase some nvidia cards to diversify my overall operation. I'm going to pull the plug on some used cards (new if I can get them in bulk around same costs) once I collect some more coins from my current set up and I see ETH back in a good area to sell to add more.

I know everyone's experience is different. I have over 60 gpus, I had 4 xfx cards, they were the worst as far as hash rate except for 1 gigabyte card (which by the way, my gigabyte cards are all 2nd worse). I say I had 4 because I returned one as it was getting memory errors at stock setting without the bios flashed, lol...

choose XFX RX570 4GB. I have a bad experienced on gigabyte, this card has a bit problem in thermal management, fan faster broken, and faster temperature rise if compared with else brand with the same type.

My Gigabyte gaming cards have actually been my best as far as temps, hash rate, and overall ease. I have cards at about 95w (GPUz) and they r hashing at 30-31mh/s each. They r Samsung memory so I got lucky there.
I also have Asus strix OC 4gb and they r my 2nd warmest Rig out of 5. I have the fans on that rig at 75+% depending on the card.
The card I have the most of (XFX 570 4gb) is the cards I had the most issues with. Every card has its own settings and it was just time consuming configuring them.

Like I said, it could be that I got unlucky on that batch I bought or something. I bought all the XFX at one time from Frys. Either way they r working for me now haha.
I actually got all my GPUs this time from frys before everything went nuts. Now its hard to find GPUs MSRP at a place that will sell to just 1 person in 1 shot.

salhire nitros are the best for me, hynix . samsung or micron ram all perfron well

Which brand is most likely the have the samsung memory? Thats the one you choose.

I ended up going with 12 XFX RX 570 4GB and 10 Gigabyte RX 570 4GB.
I have 8GB versions and 4GB version of cards and im getting the same hash rate to not want to spend the extra $100-$150 mark up retailers or amazon is doing.
I will have a total of 5 Rigs each having 6 AMD cards. I will have a 6th rig with 2 cards in it used for testing, modding the bios, etc from the main groups.
The retailer's took care of the 2 limit per household issue for me so I was happy about that.
CPU, RAM, Server PSU and Breakout boards will be here within 10 days now or less.

I’ve read the gigabyte gaming uses more power. What have you found since building your rigs? I’ve just bought a few waiting for delivery as that was my option or Asus Roy Strix for $100 more

I hope for your sake, nothing happens to the price of Eth, bandwagoner. Another mining rush just like we saw in June.
look like someone is crying over here and can only bash people. I would hate to live this persons life day in and day out.

For rig with 8GB ram use RI 1024 and for 4Gb use 896, see the hashrate different.
Maybe he's mining ETH? That would be a safe assumption considering his nickname. 
And those intensity settings are only valid for Cryptonight, I guess? January 08, 2018, 01:07:05 PM

That's a good idea. A lot of new miners don't have a dedicated "test rig" and it's not usually missed until you start having problems with your main rig(s). That's when that extra rig comes in handy, you can swap the components between the failing rig and this test rig to quickly figure out what the cause of the problem is. Jump to:
