So could you please share us how much in total you spent, what you are mining, and how about your hashrate? Thanks.

I have about $60k in total equipment.

Right now I am doing ZPOOL mining alts for BTC using NEMOS profit switcher -- so stating a static hash-rate is a bit hard.

I have previous mined XVG as well as mined on Nicehash.

I mine Intense Coin on my CPUs.

Are you making a profit, and how much profit?

It will take several more months to profit past equipment costs -- but I am confident it will do so. I am also *holding* a bunch of my mined coins -- so that holds the potential for large profit compared to simply looking @ daily / monthly figures.

I have made over 1/2 of my equipment cost back so far.

And, of course, it has taken me many months to build this all by myself in my spare time and with my personal funds.

Looks very nice, what's your electricity cost $/kwh?

I need help with my Dell T5500 Rig, I'm trying to set up 3 RX580 GPU on it, I ran into problem when trying to power up all 3 of the RX580s, I bought the "8 pin CPU to 6+2 PCI Adapter" from Amazon for the third GPU, however when I connect the third GPU, DELL T5500 does not want to power (the power LED flashes orange a few times and it powers off). Why is the CPU power not powering the GPU using the adapter?

I have no problem running 2 of the RX580s, they are power by 2 of the 6 PIN PCI Cable using 6PIN TO 8PIN adapter.

It's possible the adapter is faulty. Do you have pics of it ?

When I was buying mine I had to order from China to get the right thing.

I bought from Amazon, here is the link, https://www.amazon.com/Dovewill-Express-Graphics-Video-Splitter/dp/B07548GX51

I feel that the wiring is wrong, I tried to compare with other adapters, the coloring doesn't seem to match, can you take a look and compare what you have?

Do you have link to where you purchase the adapter cable? Thanks.

I confirm that power increase a lot after update.

I'm currently using Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.1, my watt has been about ~870w, after update power shot up to anywhere from 1000w to 1300w.

Then I tried to downgrade to 17.7.2, watt did not decrease, that got me worry that something is wrong, since 17.7.2 is most recent stable version.

But after downgrade again to 17.7.1, my watt is stable again about ~870w.

So 17.7.2 and the blockchain beta version both eat away lot of power.

How do I connect to the PSU? Since PSU does't come with 3-pin cable, any adapters I can buy for 6 fans?

Case Fan Setup on Mining Rig

Hello Guys, I need help on how to connect 6 of 3-pin or 4-pin case fans to a mining rig. Do you connect to the PSU or the motherboard? What adapter can be used to supply power to the fan and control the fan speed?
