curious to hear how many runs some mining rig here?

I also started mining recently with NiceHash.

3060ti on my main rig pulling ~60MH/s
have an old computer with 1 PCI-E 16x and 2 PCIE 1x, currently have a 1060 pulling ~22MH/s, hoping to get another 1060 in the next couple of days while waiting for my 3060ti pre-orders.

not looking to run a 6-12 gpu rigs, doing this mostly as side hobby with my dad since he's the one into cryptocurrency unless he wants to mine more

Started almost a month ago on Nicehash with both computers since they can just sit there and do it while I'm not using them.

HTPC/Plex/Controller games rig in the living room on 4K TV (i7 3770K, Gigabyte GTX1080, Thermaltake Core V1 case):


Main PC/Sim VR/Keyboard+Mouse gaming rig (Ryzen 3 3100, Gigabyte RTX3070, CoolerMaster NR200P case):



3070 running where I want it. 1080 could use a bit more tuning, and to be put in a much better case for airflow. 1080 will eventually get replaced with a 3060ti or 3070 not for mining purposes, but to bump up resolution on the TV.

picked up my 2nd 1060 today and didnt win the VRAM lottery, this Asus Dual 1060 has Hynix RAMs which sucks for mining.
only getting 17.5 MH/s and from what I read it cant go over 20 MH/s whereas the single fan EVGA that I got is running almost 23 MH/s no problem

just waiting for the 3060Ti to come in stock

^Xeon can still farm with Monero? tempted to borrow some of the work servers now haha.

was just reading about 3080s and VRM getting up to 110C when mining, are you monitoring yours?

How much is your power bill increased by each month?

I started nicehash on my 2070 super tonight it’s saying estimated 4.90usd per day.

rough calculation of 500W running 24/7 at 6.4c rate is around 24$/month
https://www.inchcalculator.com/elect...st-calculator/

a rig with a single gpu mining should be using only 200-300w.
my mining rig with 2x 1060s are pulling 250w from the wall

[msommers]

Is mining pretty limited by the gpu you use? My poor rtx 970 ssc is probably not the best lol

says 0.43CAD$/day or 13.05$/month if you still want to haha

keep your eyes open for 1060 6GB in the used market, if you manage to snag them around $200 you can recuperate the cost in 2-3 months easily at current earning rate.

It’s not really 6.4c. If you factor all the other power riders and distribution charges the real rate will be around 15c

I got scammed by another Beyond member. Please if any one knows any information that could help, please contact me (PM).

The xeon isn't making much, and for some reason, I can only get one core to mine. The other sits idle. It earns me ~$0.50/day.

I would be worried about the VRM, but I'm not hitting any temp throttling (according to GPU-Z), the card doens't often go over 59*, and I have my rig sitting in the basement, so I'm not overly worried. I did a bunch of reading into VRM thermal throttling, and monitored it for a while, but I never saw any, and I didn't want to immediately tear the card apart to put in some new thermal pads.

For some reason on the nicehash mining dashboard its showing my payout in euros. I already changed my service area to sanjose seems by default it was on amsterdam.

I am pretty sure I have a 1060 6GB sitting in a computer in my basement not even doing anything.

Currently getting 47MH/s on my gaming pc. Im unsure why the algorithm changes - I looked at it this morning and it was using dagger hashimoto at 38 MH now its changed to Octopus and getting 47.

It automatically swaps to most profitable based on the benchmarks.
Currency is separate from the region. The region is where the server is based that will issue you jobs.

have you guys tried the new QuickMiner?
v0.3.0.6 has the OCTune option that apparently works well with RTX 2000s and 3000s.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NiceHash/co...e_information/

tried QM with my 2x1060 and ended up with less hash rate with same afterburner settings, 40MH vs 37MH
hoping to try QM with my 3060Ti later tonight

[nzwasp]

Is there anyway in windows to determine how much watts your power supply is requiring without using some sort of meter.
All I hear next to me is the fans running - however the sound is still less than the sound of my gaming laptop running any game.

Edit: I didnt notice that the miner tells you the Wattage in the process. Its pulling 153W

[taemo]

bought one of these years ago and has been a great investment

I've never seen a way to see actual power being drawn from the wall on a computer.

GPU-Z will give you the power consumed for each videocard plugged in your machine, almost same reading as you are getting from Excavator and rest of your PC will typically be using around 100W

NiceHash puts me at $1/day. Double meat subs once per month

I swapped my 1070 rig to it, only to realize it doesn't autotune 1000 series cards. It only works on excavator, from what I understood, and I'm getting more out of Phoenix/NBminer right now, so I'm reluctant to swap.

interesting, did you manually benchmark it?
my NHM always defaults to Excavator, but might give Phoenix NBMiner.

on my main rig I might start using NHQM though once I know it works well with my 3060Ti for security/privacy reasons.

Everyone in Calgary must be spinning up rigs - theres essentially no stock of any gpu in memory express or bestbuy in calgary
