Hello,

I want to invest 20000 € in a few mining rigs. The big problem is that the most amd GPUs are not available, so i have to take nvidia GPUs. I would like to get the max. possible Mh/s for Ethereum mining and to build some 6*GPU-Rigs.

I can get following GPUs:
- ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1060 OC, 6GB - about 300€
- ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1060 OC, 6GB - about 330€
- ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070 OC, 8GB - about 500€
- EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0, 8GB - about 480€
- ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Advanced, 8GB - about 600€
- ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 1080, TURBO-GTX1080-8G, 8GB - about 530€
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Windforce OC, 8GB - about 550€


Mainboard: MSI Z170A SLI Plus good or is there something better/cheaper? I need to buy it somewhere in Austria (https://geizhals.at/msi-z170a-sli-plus-7998-001r-a1325714.html?hloc=at)

PSU: What PSU would you use? I would prefer using one PSU instead of 2..

EthOS possible with Nvidia GPUs? I wouldn´t like to buy win10...

Hope someone can help me getting the most MH/s for 20k EURO.

BR,
Haris

what kind of hashrates do you exspect with these rigs why are you investing in gpus over asics? thanks

Well Im on the cusp of purchasing 4 miners. not cloud mining but basement shit.
What research have you done to help you reach that conclusion that its only a lottery. I would honestly love that maybe you can save me some money.

Firstly I don't think anyone knows what will happen with bitcoins they have years of 400% growth and years of 80% losses so whether buying bitcoins is a sound investment strategy. you'll find some biased opinions here, but really its a question of risk tolerance and what you want to do.

as for joining a cloud mining op and mining shit coins? fuck that noise if you wanna be a hash nest is almost certainly going to be the most secure cloud mining set up. and they charge double for the asic you want to mine, I don't recommend fucking with cloud mining. that said I have no experience with cloud mining but it doesn't take a genius to see it fucks up ROI vs running an asic.

Bit main suggests not to plug 2 antminers into  one apw3 psu has anyone done this.

Wattage of apw3 is not enough to support 2 antminer L3+. You will either fry the psu or won't start at all.  And you don't have enough power cables from the psu to do that in the first place.
APW5 can handle both of them but again not enough cables.  And APW5 tends to get extremely hot for some reason so I would avoid it if I were you.
Also it would cost you less to buy 2xapw3 vs 1xapw5.
i should be able to run 2 Antminers on 1 20 amp circuit. though yeah?

I am new to mining and I have one of these l3+ miners on the way, due to arrive in September. Can I use this miner to mine another coin besides lite coin? And also can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can get an estimate of the profitability of mining litecoin vs other coins?

You can mine any coin that uses the Scrypt algorithm.  So there are quite a few other coins that you will be able to mine.

Can you give examples of some?
Litecoin
aricoin
goldcoin.
honestly man a google search answers this kind of question a whole lot quicker than we will.

LOL - lot of questions that you will find hard to have answered this early.

Are you looking for the cheapest or best quality PSU to run them?  120V or 220V?

Overclocking depends on how cool you can keep the unit.

Does your basement have cool air coming in and a way for hot air to leave?

There are 2 basements im deciding between im almost sure that both run on 20 amp breakers,
I will have to install some sort of ventilation for the heat. both basements have Central air.

As far as PSU, I don't know what I should get the recomended is APW 3 which is 176v -264v.
I don't mind spending more on something that is worth it or less on something that is cheaper, so i guess im asking what are the good options for PSU for these miners.

I want to get a hold of 3 Antminer L3+s, I have looked into it a lot on reddit but I can't find a ton of specific or practical information in their subreddits.

So let me ask you guys my hot list of questions,

are there any comparable asics on the market that run scrypt UOW.

What is the best PSU to use,

How do you guys optimize which coin your workers mind does anyone automate coin switches,

What sort of electrical do you need some people have said 3 wire, but I don't think thats accurate and I am having trouble understanding the electrical requirements,

How far can you overclock the antminer L3+ what additional cooling set up did you use to achieve that.

how stable are these machines,could I put them in a basement if I kept it dusted and clean.

What are the common problems, starting antminer L3+ farms run into how did you solve it.

thanks in advance.
