What kind of mining set up are you runnning?

Seems theres a sizable community of miners now and I'd love to encourage some local discussion

First up for offering is one of my systems

This is one of my MSI beasts. Full Specs:
- G3900
- Asus H270-Plus Sli
- 4gb DDR4
- 128gb SSD (or an M2 drive)
- 1500 watt Rosewill Tomamak PSU (Platinum Rated)
- Rosewill RSV-L4000C 6-8GPU Case
- 6x 1080 Ti Gaming X GPUs

Gets excellent hashrates all around and was directed at mining Lyra2rev2 (Vertcoin). Each card at a 65% TDP for 1200 total system watts, was hashing at 59mh/s for a total hash rate of 360mh/s using CCminer and 388.XX drivers. Was hard to justify the purchase of a professionally built case but I am glad I did. The system being completely enclosed with a set of high-static pressure fans means temperatures on the cards only gets 15-25C above the ambient temperature (which is neat in the summer).

living in the top of my 42RU


have risers on their way, just need to populate the rest of the slots plus a couple splitters

 

I have my sig rig running while i'm not using it...

Custom White w/ Red Internals

It's packed in the fairly tight with the 3x 60mm 240 Rads https://imgur.com/xN5tjTQ

 

My Rig:

Total power consumption 870W

Currently mining VTC at 276 MH/s with CCMiner (Nanashi)
AwesomeMiner (Free version) used for monitoring.

 

Is anyone successful in mining anything nowadays?

 

i was running nicehash with a tidy profit but since they got hacked I have joined zpool and its making more.
zpool is another algo switcher that I mine with awesome miner (really easy).
they pay in bitcoin and I think it pays every 2 days so not much risk of loosing a lot.
I just wish I started sooner.

Mining Eth at 188MH/s with 700w total system draw.
Sometimes mine Zcash, tried to mine VTC but everytime I adjusted the cards from stock it'd drop the hash rate to like 22 so I gave up lol.

Lots of Gentle typhoons everywhere.

The 2 Vega56s continues to mine while I play PUBG on the 64.

Mining Eth at 130Mh/s with 600w total system draw.

If I don't game, it gets about 1.5eth a month, otherwise 1.3 if I game a few hours every night and a bit more on the weekends.

Nice to see you've got it all up and running Darkstyle.

How're the rest of your plans going?

 

ASUS H270 Prime Plus
G3900
8GB
120GB SSD
Corsair PSUs

Run anywhere from 4 to 7 cards depending on power ... and am running rigs of RX580, 1060, 1070, 1080TI

All run on open shelving, but am thinking of moving to cases too.

 

Looks good.
Vertical alignment makes access easy.
You might want to look up "hot aisle / cold aisle" practice in DCs. It looks like you're on the right track.
I'd probably want to put some large fans in front, pushing inward. Hanging/hinged for easy access. Think "car radiator fan" sized.

Where's the mobo going? Will you be using the newer backplane type setups with a single-board computer? Or sticking with the tried and true?

I'm expecting an atom based backplane/mobo soon enough. Add enough PCIE hubs and the minimal supplied by the atom becomes moot. Then it's just a matter of "how many lanes can be addressed in the pcie standard" and software.

Oh, and weight will be an issue. You'll probably want to make it fit in a rack-unit. Telco-racks are much shallower than IT racks so they may fit your needs better. You probably don't want it much more than 20kg fully loaded.

Here's some examples:

The ethernet ports should give you a rough idea of scale.

 

If you look closely each one of those boxes are a 6 card rig, not a single GPU......

 

I count 24

Or is my scale wrong? Is that the depiction of the warehouse containing the boxes?

 

I think so, each thing you're counting, is one of the units pictured in the 1st post, standing on its end....
In a much larger "case"

 

I'm looking at building up a mining rig, but I think I'll wait for the new volta cards.

Where's the best place to get some riser cables?

Thinking something like this for the guts...

Corsair CMPSU-HX1000i (CP-9020074-AU) 1000Watt Digital 80Plus Platinum Full Modular ATX PSU $289.00
Asus PRIME H270 PLUS Intel H270 S1151/4xDDR4/2xPCIEx16/HDMI/DVI/D-SUB/ATX Motherboard $155.00
Intel BX80677G4560 Pentium G4560 3.5GHz 3MB LGA1151 Kaby Lake Boxed CPU $79.00
Crucial (CT4G4DFS824A) 4G Single DDR4 2400 Desktop RAM $65.00
Handling fee(Delivery Order Only): $11.76
Grand Total: $599.76

 

I'm assuming you have hired a warehouse? Can you get commercial power agreements?

 

Risers can be had easy enough on ebay. the guts of your machine is fine.
Waiting for volta, sets you back a few months of revenue.
Should check whattomine.com for a rough estimate to see what you "would buy" now can get you over 6 months to see if its worth waiting...

get the best power deal you can, based on 24/7 usage (so average out the peak/offpeak costs -discount on usage over the week)

 

Ive got

4 x 1080ti, 2 x 1070 5 x 580's 2 x 570s, 1 x 390, 2 x 290's -- im mining electroum on the AMD rigs atm and using awesome miner w mining poolhub on the nvidia ones -- it is usaly Lyra2v2 or Equillihash

all miing away happily I want some vegas for XMR mining though but are sold out everywhere I want moar ETN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in 2013 I spent about 30k on mining gear(mostly 290's / 280's) to mine lite coin / doge / GRS-- I wish I had have kept some of the bit coins I had back then. as I would be retiring now.

ahh we live and learn I ahve only recently gotten back into mining but my above cards are proving the beer money.

 

But no stock anywhere

Hitting up some sellers on Alibaba, but the prices are still so inflated, especially when you add the GST in.
