Must be in 2143..... Hopefully he comes back!

That's my thinking. Mining operation with free electric. How sweet that would be.
Not to mention you could start a whole business building these for people to install at their homes, business, or even putting these in cars or tractors. The possibilities are endless.
Mainly mining though.

Wait.... checking in.... did you make this? Or at this point with all the free electricity I assume you stored the gigawatts up and went all Back to the Future on us.

The two E5-2667 V3 ES cpu's have 35mb of L3 cache each so I can run 32 threads all the time. 
These engineering sample cpu's are acually 14 cores that have only 8 cores activated, they are KILLER for cpu mining with the unusually large cache.
About 575 H/s on each cpu and about the same on each RX480.

You have only 575H for each CPU or each CORE on a CPU ?
Each cpu, so for both I get about 1150 H/s.
You would think it would be a bit more but these Xeons are ES ones that have a all core boost of 3 GHz. My last build was a dual E5-2670 that have 20mb of L3 cache each and would run best with ~9 threads and about 400 H/s each.
Both the 2667's and 2670's are both 8 core with 16 threads each running at all core boost of 3 GHz but with the 35 mb of cache the 2667's are about %60 faster mining monero and put out noticeably less heat and I can run all 32 threads 24/7 even while doing other things, web surfing, watching youtube ect.
I did not build this pc to crypto mine, it's my main pc that I try alot of things on to learn and last weekend I started running Wolfs GPU miner to see what it would do.
1150/32 = 36H/s/thread? Is that too low?
Better than the 8H/s on a Athlon x2 64 bit I tried. LOL
Yea there are quite a few cpu's that will out perform it on one thread but its has 16 threads per cpu and it adds up plus on a dual 2011-3 socket motherboard I have tons of upgrade options for cpu's lots more cores and speed once the prices come down.
Not too bad for a desktop that cranks out ~2300 H/s with only two GPU's that I can still use as a desktop while its mining.
I built this pc a few weeks ago, only bought the motherboard and ram new, the cpu's were bought off ebay used and everything else was reused from my dual E5-2670 build.

At this time, what is the best free miner software for nVidia GPUs/Ubuntu to mine XMR ?
It's seems that no news release were made since 2 years....

The same miner as was there 2 years ago.

DO NOT buy this hardware for XMR mining.
November 25, 2016, 09:29:10 AM
buy for 300-1000 usd coins on exchange.. its much better

unless you have a big house and free electricity, you cannot.
October 21, 2016, 01:23:52 AM
so six cards per board is expensive and thats only what? maybe $80 per week? sorry I dont think any one has thousands of PCs mining in their house.
No of course they don't mine in their house, they have factories.
see : http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-miners-ethereum/
Cmon guy, Im talking about normal people here who mine, not Chinese mining factories run by companies or people with investors. Im talking Monero mining, Im trying to understand how is it possible to make any real money mining Monero coins? If a single person cant mine at least $300 per week minimum, I dont see what is the point spending money, time and resources mining.

Hello I am new to all of this. but I am confused. Even if you dont pay for electricity and already have a computer that can mine at 800 H/S thats only like $13 USD per week. Is that correct? $13 US Dollars per week? whats the point if you have to dedicate a whole computer to do nothing but mine for 24 hours per day just to get $13 per week? Am I missing something?
Pro-miners put six cards per motherboard and have thousands of them.

Tried a different approach: lower mem clock but with strap from 1375 mem clock. Reached 800h/s cc 1200 / mc 2025.
Not stable yet.
Not stable yet.
that's with the 470 OC, right?
Impressive. My RX 480 (1x sapphire reference, 2x sapphire dual-x OC) all deliver 630H/s stock.
The dual-x I got to ~690H/s with cc 1400@1200mv, mc 2100@1000mv
Do you somehow match up the claymore miner -cclock and -mclock settings or what do you mean with "strap from 1375 mem clock"?
I have the sapphire reference. I modded the bios with polaris bios editor-> core clock, mem clock and mem timings (the straps). Most of people use the 1500 mhz strap and copy it to higher mem clock straps. I found that for my card 1375 memory strap is best. it's stable at mclock 2010 => 780h/s.
with nitro cards you should be able to go higher , the mem is better( although the latest nitro 4GB comes with elpida memory instead of samsung and is not supported yet by polaris editor).
for undervolting you have to use TRixx or wattman or other. I run at core voltage 825 mV and mem controler 981mV. you should go way ver 800H/s. I'm looking forward to see your results.
more info here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hashrate-rx-470-1574652
Edit: just noticed you have Rx 480 then better see there: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/update-rx480-ref-31mh-custom-rom-vddc-offset-custom-timing-1584617
thanks man! Now I'm getting somewhere
tuned everything back to stock settings, fetched the bios from the dual-x 480 and copied over the 1500mhz mem straps to the higher clocks as you suggested. one reboot later, the flashed card does 807h/s@2000mhz memclock as opposed to 630h/s stock @2000mhz memclock...
I will toy around a bit more with this

Hy there,
i find it rather interesting, what hardware can and actually is used to mine the XMR.
Post whatever you like, if you own a farm or if you stress your Desktop to get a buck out of it.
It would be helpful to get a dedicated list of used hardware, miningspeed, used Software, used wattage and what you are going to do with your mined XMR´s (only if you want us to know)
I am looking forward to a nice thread with lot´s of contributors! Maybe we can build a POLL later
Currently i run following HARDWARE and SOFTWARE
MAINBOARD -> Asrock 960GM-VGS3 FX 760G RGVSM
VENT -> Alpenföhn "Brocken Eco"
CPU -> AMD FX-8320E 3200 AM3+ BOX -> supports AES-NI
RAM 2 Rigs -> D3 8GB 1600-11 NT GSK
PSU -> 300WATT
OS -> Ubuntu 14.04LTS Server 64bit
I am currently solomining with bitmonerod on 4 cores with about 160H/s
The remaining 4 cores are mining with a modded WOLF cpuminer-multi from sammy007 at minexmr.com with an average of 160H/s.
The system is running stable and due to the big vent at the CPU you here almost nothing, i can recommend the use of it!
I am planning to use a GPU, GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 Mini, to mount it into the ATX tower and use with tsivs GPU miner and check out what i can get out of the 145watts
Kind regards,
elrippo

The best gpu miner is Claymore for AMD : about 800h/s for a R9 290X (Hynix memory).
There is a private nvidia miner for maxwell nvidia cards (sp_ ccminer but not the public one) : but a GTX 980 has less hashrate with this miner than Claymore and a R9 280X...
how much XMR are you earning every block? and how many hours can the GPU to process one block?
I can probably try buying all these hard ware if i see i can earn sufficient amount thru it. I've read about that Claymore thread from time to time.

I am currently running 36 16-core opterons and a few GPU's I had laying around. Churns out about 18KH/s edit: sometimes hits 20-22KH
October 10, 2016, 03:36:32 PM
I'm stuck at 778H/s too. my mem is not stable over 2010... that's why I use 1375 strap.
You might use higher memory strap to get more stable mining of the Monero. If it is too high, it is not so stable.
It's very stable at that mark, run it for a week flawlessly with expected revenue.
