Hi pip I'm running my miners on solar and batteries and I want to lower power draw as much as possible, I've remove two RAM sticks and only have one onboard, any other things I can replace to limit power draw?
Pc config
Dell optiplex 370 with core i5 CPU
1x 4g ram stick
Three 1660 Ti and one rx580
Sell the rx580 at a profit from what you paid for it.
It will save power and instantly put cash in your hands. Use that cash to pay the power bill on the gear.
Hoping you had the rx 580 for a while before it became expensive.
Pay what power bill? I'm running on solar panels and batteries 24/7 sir, I'd rather swap the rx580 for gtx1660 super instead of selling because I've confirmed that gtx1660super runs so peacefully with lower power on my solar setup than rx580
So if the panels are paid off and the batteries are paid off.
Selling the rx580 will buy the next round of batteries. Thus it will pay your future power bill.
I am involved in an on grid 115k watt 1.55 acre stoup. It was paid off and we simply ran out of space to do more panels.
You simply do not need that rx 580 sell it for as much as you can right now. You will get top dollar for it.
And you can buy coin with the money
or buy batteries . batteries are not over price cards are.
the rx 580 sucks and getting top dollar for it is important. So sell it and come back here let us now you sold it and what you got. They we will help you spend it.
on coins = meh maybe good
on a 1660 super or ti = meh maybe good.
hold as cash = in your case maybe good since you will need batteries.
spend it on batteries = what I said in the first place. well kind of.
I did not know if you were on grid or all battery.
Batteries suck they die one run five years or less depends on what you buy.
So if gpu price is up and it is buying batteries could be the best move.
your panels should be good a long time your charger should be good your invert should be good.
first thing to go will be the batteries and your free power will not be free.
Thanks for your advice, the fact is I'm running on 4x 220ah batteries for night till morning but I'm using 6x 200 watts mono panels to charge the batteries so the panels isn't enough to completely charge the batteries unless Im not drawing extra powers through the panels at all, the engineer who helped me set it up told me I need to add extra 6 200watts panels to charge the batteries and keep mining at the same time
