Rather go 2x 6 rigs. Psu to power 12 cards has a monster price tag. If blows all cards offline. With two Rigs if one down other still mining plus psu reasonable

Good point... given the pricetag it's not worthwhile getting a spare / redundant PSU. What is the power requirements per 6 cards roughly?
I assume bitmain's PSU doesn't have enough variety of V output to power a regular mobo... I wonder if one of the 12v rails can be split with step-down to 3 and 5v for other stuff on the board... They're seriously good value for 1600W.

If you go desktop power supplies. There are much cheaper and imo better options.
1x 500W to power the board and risers.
2x Server PSU's to power the cards

Cost you about 5k total. Which is about the same price as 1 1200W platnum desktop psu.

With two Rigs if one down other still mining plus psu reasonable

Agree with this. Too many potential problems running 13 cards and if the miner/system crashes then you lose out on a lot of mining power.

Actually... that's a good point. 1x desktop PSU for the board and 1600W Bitmain PSUs for the cards.
Bitmain PSU is $1100.

For anyone else who's had hassles finding this info - if you mine to an external wallet via NiceHash, you can view stats here:

Just enter the address.

I've switched to mine directly to altcointrader to avoid delays while I'm converting to FIAT and if I want to sell in a hurry given the BTC problems right now.

A 6 card x 1070 run run between 840 to 880 watts . A 1200w platinum psu from Wootware is R3300 down from R3600 I paid . its fully modular and enough to power 1 rig no stress

2x rigs will still require 2x PSU .... cant you just use this with the 2x PSu on the 12x card rig? > http://cryptominer.co.za/product/add2psu-connector-for-dual-power-supply/

What are current PC miner earnings per card average?

What are current PC miner earnings per card average?

1.5 dollars on amd rx 470 4gb

 

[Willie Trombone]

1.5 dollars on amd rx 470 4gb

That's daily, I hope
So if I can get 570s for the same price as a 470s, I assume the 570 is the better choice?

 

[Gtx Gaming]

Yep daily, 570s are the same performance yes. They do require tweaking as don't run at 70 watts out of the box

 

[Cowboy619]

I'm running 3 x RX470 and 3 x RX 570. Doing around R180 per day. Got my RX570 brand new for R3000 each

Nice! Thanks!

What are current PC miner earnings per card average?

I have a couple of cards running. (On Nicehace, Legacy 1.8.2.0)


4 x 1060 - 6G : Roughly doing $ 5,50 per day...( Equihash and Dagger/Lbry)
2 x 1070 : Roughly doing $ 3,80 per day...( Equihash and Dagger/Lbry)
4 x RX 580 - 4G : Roughly doing $ 8,00 per day...( Cryptonite and Dagger/Lbry)
1 x 1080 Ti : Roughly doing $ 3,00 per day...( Equihash )

Any suggestions to push that up a bit?

The values are per set as indicated.

Why your 1070 so low? They should be over $4 to $5 on average

Remove dagger lbry unless you dont pay electricty. 1070s should do esquiphash, neoscrypt or cryptoknight.

 

[JohnnyQ]

Lol

As the tumbleweed comes tumbling down up the hill, it asks itself ..... wtf are those 1070's doing?

 

[JohnnyQ]

Drr/lbry give s a little more than the rest. I calculated power usage and it's worth doing the dual mining....at times, but if you differ give me a better alternative.

What are your clocks set at? Power target?

 

[JohnnyQ]

What are your clocks set at? Power target?

Power is set at 70%
Clock +100
Mem +700

 

[Adenoid Hynkel]

Power is set at 70%
Clock +100
Mem +700

What make cards are those? 700 mem and 70 power target? Am surprised it’s not crashing on you.

My avg is 72-74 on power target and 150 on core and 550 on mem. Stability over profitability

 

[Willie Trombone]

My D3 PSUs are finally en route and today I see this

Though if you look at those figures...
Cost per day is $1, ergo profit per week is $1 :wtf:

Clearly they're working on the past day, past week and past month's figures.
Seems my D3s won't even get turned on lol.

Anyone mining X11 and making $$ elsewhere?
