When I was mining with a desktop of latest generation 6th to be precise , a core i3 processor I did a maximum of 9-10Sol/s. The processor consumes very low amount of watt and is only 51 watt still I don't know where to send my ZEC after mining it.

Going up a little bit, you are saying only 1 R9 390 gets approximately 150 Sol/s and it's intriguing.

If I build a mining rig with 4 GPU- R9 390 I get 600 Sol/s and that's it 0.04 Zec per hour or almost 1 zcash per day. My cost of energy (through some friends is cheaper than my country) and I think 4 R9 390 don't need more than 1200-1400 watt.

Sounds like is quite some profitable or isn't it ?

0.04 per hour?! try 1/10 that, minus electricity.

It appears the guy above with 1 R9 390 was wrong. I did 600 H/s in the cryptocompare website and I see that daily is 0.075 zcash after removing power draw so it's about roughly 6 USD daily with 4 graphic cards R9 390. It appears it's not correct that you get 0.04 zec per hour or 1.5 hour with only 1 R9 390.

Any way, for the time being, it is more profitable to mine the Etheruem than the ZCash. The difficulty is too high.

not really, with amd it's better to mine zcash or zclassic, profit is a bit better with zcash while consuming less, we are talking about 0.022 for zcash/classic per day with a rig of 6 gpu against ethereum 0.017
