Re: What kind of GPU mining rig builds do you prefer?

That server case rig looks awesome, and would be great in a datacenter.

I found 3090s to be way too loud to deal with at home.

What are you charging for those rigs?

This was my first multi GPU mining rig; was also good for games.



4 years ago I had the simillar ones and felt myself a very profitable miner
What ROI of this rig for now?

That rig is from 2011; I sold it in 2012 when I started switching to fpga's to max my hashrate in the same powerspace.

So this is pretty simple setup. My server is an IBM x3550 m4 with dual xeon e5-2670 chips, 80gb of ram.  I am using netapp ds4243 24 bay enclosures that house 2tb 7200rpm enterprise drives. So in total this setup is 240tb (slightly less because of usable space. These enclosures are supposed to be used with a netapp controller.  I didnt want the added expense plus dealing with their software licensing.  They are qsfp so I bought a standard LSI HBA card and a qsfp to mini sas cable and plugged the top enclosure into the card and daisy chained the rest of the enclosures with their standard qsfp cables.  I don't run any raid so these are all just stand alone drives. I plot each one so that if a drive goes down I can revert to my notes and just replot its replacement with the exact plot numbers that was on it.

I can plot 4 to 5 drives a day. I get about 32k nonces per minute optimized with my chips. My main bottleneck when it comes down to plotting is my disk write speed. I am only getting about 80 or 90MBps. I dont think its my drives as most of them are rated for 150MB write speed or above so it could be the back plane on the enclosures themselves.

I ran the setup with windows server 2016 and with ubuntu 16.04 and ultimately went with ubuntu.  My nonces per minute were a little better with windows but my plot times were significantly slower so I went with ubuntu.

That is a nice setup; 240 tb is a lot of capacity. Are you using Creep Miner?

someone needs to make a compilation image that shows the evolution of mining hardware from cpus, gpus, then asics....etc....much like the "evolution" of man from monkeys (not that I believe in that).

You left out fpga's.


Remember when Bitmain was good?



I miss that.

i still have 4 antminer s1's 3 that are undervolted /clocked and an antminer s2 that is also under clocked on 9 boards

sadly my s1's have been offline for almost a year but the s2 still works overnight to keep the kiddos room warm during the night

Hello everybody!!

I´m new in the mining game, and I want to show my 6 GPUs mining rig´s design, I designed it, I printed it, and I mounted it!! It works fine at 2020 Sol/sec with 6 GTX 1060 6GB.



I designed it in hexagonal pattern to improve the heat dissipation, I hope do you like it!!!

Regards...

Very creative design.   Smiley

Citronick I remembered an old trick that is worth a try for your sixth card. 

Identify the card which is not recoginized and plug your monitor into that card then restart.  I used to have to do this with an old rig.

Behold, my first ETH rig - BRUTUS -

5 x MSI R9-390 (about 28MH each x 5 = 140MH, no overclocking yet)
Pool: about 3.5-4 coins per day at Dwarfpool. Moved to ethpool.org, 5 coins every 1.5 days
Asrock H81 BTC Pro motherboard on Windows 8.1 Pro
Minimalist Celeron Dual core CPU with Crucial 4GB x 2
Samsung 850 Pro 120GB SSD
EVGA 1300w x 2 (next rig will use EVGA-1600w)
Custom open-cage rack
USB cable - PCI risers

Credits: thanks to "thedreamer" for helping me out with my first rig.
Note: I can't get the 6th x GPU working...  Angry

I am working on my next ETH rig, OLIVE....

Nice rig.  Smiley  I would recommend putting a cheap box fan behind it. 

Also have you tried going to device manager, looking at each card individually and installing the driver directly?

Nice rig!
btw this is the bitcoin part of the forum, not the alts....

You know you like looking at the GPU rigs. 

I often look at the first 2 years of this thread and all the awesome GPU builds.  I highly recommend a full tour to those who haven't done so.

Guys, please stop all the alt coin discussion in this topic.  This is the BITCOIN forum, there is an altcoin forum and you are free to start a picture thread there.

This thread is about pictures of mining rigs.  You are not a moderator.

You stand to be corrected, although this is certainly a thread about picture of mining rigs.
but it is also in the Bitcoin section, not the altcoin section. (as it was already pointed out earlier...)

So Mikestang's comment stands I believe Smiley

This thread was created before altcoins existed.  If you never mined Bitcoin with a GPU rig and don't appreciate them; you probably shouldn't be lecturing those who did with pedantic drivel.

R390s are reputed to be best for high resolution gaming modes, versus the Nvidia equivalent GTX-970 which is another badass card for mining - so there
are active fans, VRAM up to 8GB etc to consider, etc... all these will require more wattage.
A fury is much better at 4K plus.  It is also more efficient. 

There is a altcoins mining thread.  Keep that in mind.

king_pin has contributed a lot to this thread.  You should look and read through the tread if you don't recognize him (assuming he could be wrong).  I interpret his post as a warning to new miners, based on his experience.  I can tell you from my own that mining in the summer, or running many rigs in the same room drastically changes how your rig will run.

For pure cost effectiveness a 380 is the best new card to buy.  Adding a single configuration setting will allow it to mine ETH at 20mh with stock freqs and the card costs ~$200. At stock freqs a single 380 should use ~170 watts.  This is much more efficient than OC'ed 390's. 

My 2 380s run at about 20-20.5, but oc.  at stock (XFX 4gb) they run closer to 18.  what config are you talking about ?  I have the usual --cl-local-work 128 --cl-global-work 16384 --cl-extragpu-mem 0 and farm recheck 200.  For some reason I cant input cl local work 256, maybe someone can tell me why, that would be nice.  mining off stratum proxy - ethminer.

As for the eth rig pics, are you using non powered risers for 6 cards ?  idk I'd be worried.  I think the usb risers are worth it.

First ensure that you are using the 15.12 AMD driver and reset to stock clocks.  Then try using only:

 --cl-global-work 16384 --cl-local-work 256

Also; IMO Sapphire is the best brand.

Its funny how when this thread was created, all we were seeing were photos of GPU rigs, then photos of ASICs, and now we are back to photos of GPU rigs.

Haha! You are forgetting that short but sweet FPGA time.

I'm still burning those zTex x1.15 on Vcash, more than I can say about those 65nm ASIC!

FPGA's were available almost as long as GPU's were able to mine; their time wasn't short.  Many miners simply didn't want to have a longer roi for better power efficiency.
