Re: I Bought 150+ GPUs for Ethereum mining. Think I'm Insane?
mining on windows is nothing but headache and way too much work, with the number of riggs you are dealing with is a full time job and than some. the down time alone will eat up your profit quickly if i were you i would look into some linux distros like ethos smos.
i am a hobby miner IT guy myself and been testing mmpOS and i really like it it's been super stable for my AMD cards
Best of luck!
about your power cost, is it 10 cents or 1 cent?
most power companies in US charge extra premium after 1000KW or so, is yours a fixed amount?
It's a fixed amount but PA is weird They charge a 'supplier rate' and 'Distribution rate' So while my Supplier rate is .04599c/Kw hr the distribution is what it costs to get that power to my house. So my total is .10C/kw. There is no Seasonal rate or anything.i am a hobby miner IT guy myself and been testing mmpOS and i really like it it's been super stable for my AMD cards

Claymore straps are fine, 32 mh/s for my Micron babies with Claymore straps is the best I could ever get from them.
I wish all the luck to the topic starter, 10c per kWh doesn't sound attractive though

How many GPUs do you have per rig using Claymore straps? I can't get more than 5 to work. No idea why.
I am really sorry to disappoint you now, but I am running 12 AMD GPU rig almost with no problems. Uptime is around 6 days. Using Windows (as it's free and straps are working; once strap function is available in HiveOS I might switch to it).
My setup is a little different though; MOBO is Gigabyte's
upd: I re-checked your first post and haven't found anything about your MOBO lol. I had a feeling you use different one or mentioned it in some other post.. w/e
my piece of advice is to distinguish each GPU's bios and put GPUs with the same bios in the same rig.
This would help you to flash them much easier.
The motherboard I have is an Asrock H110 PRO BTC+
Of course, I've done this. Each rig is separated by memory type. Samsung/Hynix/Elpida. Strange that you don't have this issue. Wonder if it's something to do with the motherboard then?
Gosh I hate Asrock stuff
I don't question your flashing skills, but could you share what exactly have you done with AtiFlash?
I faced the problem that the bios of my GPUs was 256kb instead of needed 512kb in order to flash correctly.
So I believe I haven't flashed them at all, and just used Claymore in-built settings.
