Looks great. I too tend to scale back or shut off mining in the summer due to not wanting to exhaust all the cool air from my house only to have to power my air conditioner to recool it. Besides the added electrical cost, you’ll wear out your AC unit and have costly repair bills. It’s too hot where I live to get by with a mining shed or I’d be all over it. 

The shed was the best decision I made in mining so far.  It's been fantastic once I figured out the amount of intakes I needed.  It took a bit of trial and error, but I now have plenty of intake and can filter the air coming in.  I'll be able to regulate the intake too by increasing the MERV rating of the filters and using more restrictive ones if I need to.  I may have went a little overboard with the intakes, but it was just over 90 F here and everything ran fine.  Cards still were at 60C where I have autofan set and no issues.  Plus my house AC didn't have to work even harder to keep the house cool.  Now I just wish I ran more power to the shed.  Maxed out on my 100amp panel

Thank you! My most recent purchases are the asics.  I haven't bought GPUs in  a few months.  I do have a rig of 8x1660tis that I'd like to replace with 3070's but haven't done it yet.  I am mining Neoxa on my 1660tis, Flux on my 3070s, triple mining Ergo, Kaspa and Zil on my 3060tis and 3080 rig, radiant on my 2070s and Alephium on my 3070tis.  Currently, my electric rate is ridiculously cheap.  I'm on an unlimited plan and it works out to about $0.05/kwh.  I believe that contract expires at the end of November and I will be facing a significant rate increase so I'm mining as much as I can until that time.

I had a shed delivered back in March of this year to finally be able to get my mining equipment out of my basement.  It wasn't so much the noise, but the fact that it was sucking the cool air out of the house.  My a/c unit would run non-stop and at times couldn't keep up and keep my house cool and I only have a 1200 sq ft ranch home so it's not like it was a lot of space to keep cool.  Some of you may not agree but this has been the best move for me.  It's now just about getting the shed running smoothly and as cool as I can keep it.  I've been documenting the progress on YT so if you want to check it out, have a look.

Gainward GTX1660Ti 6GB Pegasus in DaggerHashimoto: 30.4 MH at 72 Watts ... Power at 60% and MemClock +1150.
When I raise the Memory Clock over that, the Hashrate falls ... don't know why. But that is a pretty amazing Hashrate for 72 Watts !

Absolutely!  These are very efficient cards!  I'm going to switch my rig over to windows on saturday when I get the time because SMOS won't recognize the 4h or 5th card.  I have 5 now and 2 more being delivered tomorrow.  I bought 2 of the 8 GPU rig frames on amazon when they were $20 shipped so I'm building out two more rigs and using these cards for them.  Getting 16-17 Mhs on Raven right now at 75W in SMOS

Just got mine in today and 3.2-3.3 gps on grin and ranging fro 18-22mhs on Raven.  Gminer wouldn't start on SMOS to try Beam and need to make a config for Aion, Eth, and some others.  Need updated drivers in SMOS.  The card is recognized as a Gigabyte Graphics device instead of the model  of the card.  Going to try out windows when I have more time.  Just finished 12hr shift and work and have two more the next two days

Messed around a little in SMOS with the card.  I have the Gigabyte Windforce edition. 


Out of the box

Grin : 3.2-3.3 gps

Raven - 18-22mhs

Beam - couldn't get miner to run in SMOS.  Connection error...same config that I use on my 1070 rigs and its fine.  May have something to do with being recognized as a Gigabyte Graphics device.  Need to update the drivers in SMOS somehow.  Never did it so not sure how.  Going to install windows either tonight or tomorrow and play around some more.

Caught this live stream while searching the same thing.

24.8Mhs on Eth

20MHS on Raven

4 Gps on Grin 

On HiveOS with stock settings.  Hash per watt ratio looks to be very good on this card.  On Grin, it's on par with a 1080ti on hash per watt basis.  6.3/190w (1080ti from WTM) vs 4/115w (1660ti from the video)

Looking forward to getting mine delivered so I can play with it.  Hoping to get 1070 performance with less power.  Looking like Wednesday delivery date.  I can post here when I receive it and start hashing

There are new error shows on the bminer "Failed to fetch device Status for device id: 0, Error code: 999"
I think I found out what that was.
Lower your core overclock. If your display driver crashes as a result of too much core o/c the miner is not able to get whatever info it needs and throws out this error. Hashrate drops as well by about 20-25%.
Now I get this lower graphrate after I updated the driver and changing cores settings.

Check it below.

I am getting the same error.  I think it has something to do with the miner trying to pull the power, temp, and fan data from the card.  I have 3x2070's under windows 10 mining Beam +100 Core, +400 Mem and 80% PL.  Everything seems to be reporting fine to the pool and I'm monitoring the temps on Afterburner.  I use leaf pool so I've been on Gminer on this windows rig.  Two AMD rigs on lolminer/Leafpool

Edit: Mine is error code 3

Getting this error after moving my rig from one room to another.  Was just running fine before I shut it down.

Edit: Removed a few GPU's (back to 8-1070s) that were just added and it works fine. ASUS B250 mining expert.  May need to update it's bios
