Ok, I think the other question I already have the answer! With Awesome Miner I have an availability of softwares without the need to actually install them myself, so it's just a matter of allowing Awesome miner to switch between T-Rex, GMiner, PhoenixMiner, etc. That's great cause I didn't want to go into too much trouble.
Currently it's mining ETH with Trex 0.19.14 at 25.6Mh so there's work to do with tweaking these 1700s!!
Alright, I think I'm all set up here, just waiting for a few extra risers, set Binance mining pool and ready to mine!
If you use the hive OS and install drivers from 2017 or find an old version of the system in the interval 2017-2018, then your 1070 video card will be able to mine 29 megahash. With new drivers, the hash rate is worse, as if the manufacturers are doing it on purpose.
Choose any pool you like. Since you have 5 video cards, it is probably best to use the one with the smallest output limit.
Thank you! I will consider the Hive OS plus 2017 drivers, actually I had the 2018 drivers installed version 380 something and had to update them. For now I'm all set up but will consider changing OS if feeling freasky in the future lol
Already the 5 gpu rig working, overall happy and making 13.5$ a day with about 2.25$ electricity (0.17), only some fan from time to time disappears (not always) and also some weird losses of hash across a couple GPUs. Have absolutely zero idea why, but problems appear when opening MSI and trying to improve hashrate. After restarting usually fixes it, and once it gets going it appears to run smooth, it was mining all night with no issues so all good I guess!
