Yes, you can.  I have armor doing 30 Mh/s on ETH.  but won't do at 100w.  More like 120w.

Thanks alot. With this card bring 1/3 price of Vega 64 which is a unicorn at a decent price, I am leaning more towards RX 570.

What BIOS and settings are u using?

Thanks 👍

Sapphire is better built.  But gigabyte has 3 yrs warranty while sapphire has 2yrs.

On my Vega 64s I am getting stabe 43Mh/s with 130W withtout any BIOS mod.

I just got the MSI Armor 570 4GB with Hynix memory.
Now without any BIOS mod I am getting 20Mh/s.
GPU Clock 1000
Mem clock 1100

Do u think I will be able to push this card to 30Mh/s with BOIS mod with around 100W??

Please advice. Otherwise I might as well return it and get something else that u guys will recommend.

Advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

Ripple wallet and buying on exchange help
by
Gero3
on 25/12/2017, 09:15:50 UTC
Hi guys.
I am looking to purchase ripple. I know it's not widely available as other coins. So far I hold small fraction of Bitcoin and litecoin in coinbase.

I made an account on Binance also but haven't used it. Bittrex sign-ups are closed.

What exchange do u guys recommend for buying ripple and how to go about it.

Also what about wallets? Do u guys recommend I keep ripple on exchange or wallet? If wallet which one would u guys recommend?


Thanks

I picked up a Asus Prime H270+CSM on sale at Microcenter.
It has 2x PCIe x16 slots
4x PCIe x1
2x M.2

so should be able to use max 8 cards which is the max I want to use in a rig.
Will be hooking up 3 Vega 64s. That's all I have for now.

Thanks guys Smiley

Hi Guys,
Building my mining rig for monero.
I will be using XMR for mining.

Silly question but has anyone bought Win 10 license on ebay etc.
They sell for like $25 and I am not sure if I should buy one from Ebay.

I know the regular license cost like $100 from MS and authorized seller.

Please let me know.

Thanks

If you can find an old Win7 Pro license that is valid, you can install win7 and upgrade to win10 for free.  I'm not sure about buying license keys on eBay.  I probably wouldn't do it.  I guess if you buy it and it doesn't work, you can file a claim with Paypal to get your money back. 

Thanks. The prices are so cheap on ebay that I might not have anything to lose but at the same time it does worry me coz they are dirt cheap...lol.
I have an old Win 7 laptop that I upgraded to Win 10. I will try to somehow get the Serial No. from there and see if I can install Win 10 and use the old laptop to authenticate.

Thanks.

To me ... sounds like you building your first computer Smiley and you have lack of knowledge about how to do it , what supports what Smiley

Read your motherboard description on the manufacturer website :
PRIME H270-PLUS/CSM
If you doing that , you going to find out , the only mem supported by your motherboard is DDR4
From HERE you can downlad the PRIME_H270-PLUS_MemoryQVL list Smiley

If you are going to be using 3x Vega 64 for mining and planning to add more GPUs later. " make sure you have at least 4GB  of system memory Smiley but in your case 8GB would be much better choice

Ya it's been close to 15yrs since I build my last PC so am a bit Rusty.
Thanks for the link and advice. I'll stick with 8GB for this build.

Using ddr2 or ddr3 for mining?

on 19/12/2017, 07:40:48 UTC
Hi guys.
Building my first mining rig.
As u guys know RAM ddr4 is expensive these days.

Can I mine using ddr3 or ddr2 which is so much cheaper.
Also most ppl tell me 4GB is enough.
Do u guys recommend 2x2GB or 1x4GB sticks?

Will be using 3x Vega 64 for mining. Adding more GPUs later.
Using Asus Prime H270+ CSM motherboard.

Hi guys.
I am new to the cryptocurrency world.
I am trying find out best way to buy altcoins for low few.

The only method I know is buying Bitcoins at coinbase which takes a fee then transferring to bittrex for a fee to buy altcoins.


Is there any safe way to buy ripple etc with low fee.

Thanks

Any significant difference between Asus z270 and z170-AR??

The z170AR is on sale right now.
I am going to buy it locally from microcenter so if there's anything wrong I can do a hassle free return.

Pls let me know.

Looking for wallet Monero, suggestions
by

on 08/12/2017, 00:14:25 UTC
Hi,
I like MyEtherWallet for Ethereum.
I am looking to mine following coins:

1) Monero
2) Electroneum

Is there a centralized place that will allow me to interact directly with the blockchain while remaining in full control of your keys & your funds like myetherwallet

OR

Do u guys recommend separate web based client side interface like myetherwallet for Monero, electroneum. Which ones?

Thanks

There's a number of mining-specific motherboards compatible with kaby lake processors.

Asus B250 Mining Expert
19 slots seems like overkill for your purposes, and note that actually getting 19 cards to run on this board is usually a pain. (That many cards on one system isn't always desirable either, since it puts many eggs in one basket, so to speak.)

ASRock H110 Pro BTC+
13 slots, spaced rather close together, however.

BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO
This one seems to have more quality control issues than others, or such reports could be due to simple user error and chance.

GIGABYTE GA-H110-D3A


Additionally, you may wish to consider motherboards that aren't marketed for mining purposes. Just make sure you do the necessary research to see if other people have run into limitations with that specific board.





Thanks alot.
I was reading somewhere and am probably wrong that we can't run more than 8 cards due to some limitation in some mining software?


In your experience do I need to flash some special BIOS on the above MBs or they just run out of the box?

Thanks

Hi Guys,
In the process of making my own rig for mining.
Will be running claymore to mine, not planning on downloading any local wallet software what makes u download tons of data.
Planning on mining Ethereum and Minero on separate rigs atm but may look at other currencies in the future.


What is a good size for SSD that I need?
I know S9 bitcoin miners use MicroSD cards so I am guessing 128GB or 256GB should be plenty.


Please let me know asap.

Thanks Smiley

Hi Guys,
I am setting up my rig to mine for the first time.
I wanted to know which online ethereum wallets u guys recommend.

Also which mining pool?

Thanks Smiley

Well theres always myetherwallet (https://myetherwallet.com) but some people will say its "not safe" because its a hot wallet. But in reality, all you need is common sense and make sure you are at the correct website before doing any transactions. For the pool, I personally use nanopool (https://nanopool.org) because I love the monitoring charts and email alerts.

Hi,
What do u mean by hot wallet?

Thanks
