I pulled my 1070's off Zencash to farm some Mona coin for a bit.

   I'll look into this. I have been wanting to try some cpu mining. Never done it before, and would like to learn a little more about it. I'm guessing the Verium Mining Vault link will download the cpu miner?

  Thanks for the help guys. I'm thinking now that maybe it's because i'm running version 17 of nvoc. Didn't realize i wasn't running the up to date version. Going to install v19 tonight and see if that fixes it. I was getting the max power limit of 170w error when i tried to set the power higher before. Maybe the update will fix that.

  Does lyra2v2 require more ram than equihash? I never had an issue with my rig not putting up average range sol/s on equihash, but when i switched to lyra2v2 i couldnt get my hash rates where they should be after multiple OC adjustments. I've been running 4 gig of ram, and i'm thinking that might be the problem. Just ordered another 4 gig, and was wondering if anyone knew if 4 gig alone was not enough for a rig with 1x1060, 3x1070's, and 1x1080ti. Thanks in advance for any info.

  Just ran across this showing some rx 560's have fewer stream processors and compute units than advertised. Not sure how that hashes out, but something to keep in mind when shopping.

   Always a waste investing in someone that doesn't invest in themselves.

  Worth a watch if you are looking for help with setting up a 1070 ti.

   With high power cost maybe the 1070 ti would be a really good option for you. Being able to cut the power down to the cards to save on the power bill. 1060's also do really well undervolted. The cards run cooler which should help with longevity. I'm a big fan of the 1070 ti myself. 

  Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

  I mainly stick with Zen because I believe the price will increase, and I put a couple cards on higher risk coins like bitcoinz just to bank some then move to another hoping one of them will take off one day. Bigger gamble with those but it makes it fun for me.

  In the op I said I was considering using the one I later posted a link to for clarification. Never locked in on anything for sure. Actually leaning towards the Biostar tb 350-btc right now. That's only $5 more than the first I considered. My 6 card build is at $2,144 right now not counting rebates that will get it just under 2k if I order the 8 gig cards in time.

 It's $70 after rebate right now for the mother board.

 $60 for the CPU.

  I may end up going with the z270 again Wacko. That's the board I used with my green cards. No issues at all with it i was just wondering if there was a better option with the amd cards. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for the link as well.

  I'm looking to build a 6 card rx580 rig and had a question about components I hoped maybe someone could help me with advise on. Are amd boards and cpu's not worth using? I'm considering an asrock fatality ab350 mother board with an amd athlon x4 Bristol ridge quad core 3.5 GHz cpu. Also plan to use Windows with this one. I want to cut as many corners as I can as long as it's not killing longevity. Thanks for any help.

  Really enjoyed all of your videos so far Vosk. Any best bang for your buck set ups are what I'm really looking into right now. I may try three card set ups with refurbished PC's next just to get my sols/s up quicker then go back to longer term builds with warranties.
   Thanks again, and keep up the good work.

  Thanks for all the work you put into your youtube channel Vosk. You got me into mining. I try to help back with your affiliate links.

  I have very basic knowledge of computers from years spent gaming. Actually building a computer of my own, or anything more than upgrading ram/gpu was more than i ever wanted to take on. I looked into mining currency about a month ago and found Voskcoin on Youtube. With information i got from him I built my first rig two weeks ago. Since then i have been blowing the dust off old gaming pc's that quit on me in the past and trying to figure out what i can use to piece together another miner. I am having an absolute blast. If i had any idea how much fun this would be i would of started long ago. These forums have been very helpful as well. Honestly though i am very reluctant to post here. I have seen people get mad about people posting to increase post count, or rank. Something along those lines. Haven't figured out why people are interested in forum rank yet so i will just keep reading and learning for the most part.

  I started farming bitcoinz yesterday at equihashing. Thanks for the info.
