My rig is done, and both cards are working like magic. They make 330H/s each on cryptonight algorithm. I can't figure out yet, how to overclock them properly to get better results. Any idea?
This should give you a good starting point: --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2345911.0
Don't use the xmr-stark version thats on this website use the original version. use this one --> link: https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases
I have tested all of them and this one seems to be working the best for me.

If you don't want to change anything with your old computer, then you can look for lower spec of GPU that save power, and it is better for you to utilize all 3 slots for best ROI.
Do you have anything in paticular in mind? I have about 250 $ for the cards.
Hi there, I don't think that rx460 is currently profitable as it is wayback 2016 if you are planning to mine top 20 coins. There are now more appropriate gpu for mining, why not try 570s or 580s if your motherboard permits. Also, you should invest on the power supply, but a 750w gold or above for efficiency. You don't want to end up just paying your bills on your mining profit. You should also consider the electricity rates on your area as this will affect you profit.
Hey, I know they arent the best cards for mining but, considering to mine xmr or ETN. My daily return should be between 2.5-3 dollars on current difficulty.. My electricity cost is should be about 0,65 cents a day on stock settings. Also I m planning to undervolt the card. My intentions arent to make crazy profits, I mainly want to mine electroneum( fork of monero) because I bealive in the project! I think for this perpous my system should do just fine!
Power supplies lose a lot of their rated power and become less efficient over time. With a power supply that old it's hard to say but RX 460's are low power cards. You are probably looking at 150 W max for both cards, so I would say it's OK to try.
Thank you for the answer. So I should be able to use the cards with the mither board right?
Hello everyone,
I found a old PC in my garage and I've been looking to get into the mining game for a while now. The PC has a quiet good components in it.
The PC parts:
- Motherboard: ASUSTek Computer INC.P5Q-E (LGA-775)
- Processor: Intel core 2 dou E7200 @ 2.53GHz
- 4GB DDR2 RAM
- Power supply: Asus 450W A-45GA
As far as I know this should be enough to handle two GPU's. The board it self has 3 PCIe x16, which to best of my knowledge should take the Radeon rx 460 4GB version in.
The question is, am I right about the GPU and do you guys think my power supply will handle the two cards?
All help is greatly appreciated!
Keep on mining!
