Hello guys, building a 6xVega XMR mining rig, need some advice.
Parts:
Asrock H81 Pro BTC R2.0
Intel Celeron G1840 (can't get cheaper CPU)
16GB DDR3 RAM, I already have this
250GB SSD
My problem is Vega 64 and 56 are the same price (600 euros). Should I buy 64s or 56s?
Is there any point in buying a Ryzen CPU instead and have it mine as well?
Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't go with 6 Vega now, to many problems can be. 4 Vega+something else (Nvidia for example) should be fine
What kind of problems?
See (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2201970.0). In short, it seems we cannot easily enable HBCC on more than 4 cards. I had it working on all 6 at once point, rebooted, never been able to get back. Read the first post, I've tried everything short of nuking Windows entirely. Others are reporting the same issues.
What I wouldn't do for some trick to avoid having to disable/enable HBCC on every card after reboot to get 1900+H XMR.
Also, regarding the power table mods. OLDComer's mod works on 4/6 Vega64's I have. The same two cards I cannot enable HBCC on also seem to ignore the power table registry settings entirely. Likely a clue there but I am not sure what.
I have HBCC enabled on 8 cards. Must be your motherboard and/or processor, I have less RAM and use less VRAM than you.
