[Mining Rig Build and 6 card Hash Rate] GTX 1070 Gigabyte G1 Gaming 8GB
I recently built an aluminum open air mining rig frame with a thick piece of Plexiglass with brass standoffs for mounting the motherboard.
Here you can see the Plexiglass I used in order to install the brass motherboard standoffs to ensure a proper motherboard mounting.
Reusing an old six card socket 1150 mining motherboard that is still going strong.
Everything seems to line up nicely
This can easily support 6 cards, I may add some fans in the rear of the rig eventually just to help increase the lifespan of the GPU fans.
The frame is held together with rivets
I will be using two 750 watt platinum power supplies each placed on the Plexiglass directly behind the motherboard.
Eth 30 mh/s 180 mh/s full rig
Power Limit 100
Graphics clock offset -200
Memory +900
Zcash 410-430 sols/s 2,500+ for full rig
Power Limit 100
Graphics clock offset +100
Memory +600
Ideally this would be best with a single 1200 watt or 1600 watt power supply with a 1200 watt power supply being ideal if you keep the power limit at 100 or below for all your cards and keeping power at the wall around 600+ watts.
Thanks for checking this out and feel free to ask questions or comment below.
I should get a rig like this at work. It could run 24/7 without anyone bothered with it. Electricity is somehow weirdly split between 50-100 hundred small offices in our building and the measure is the size of an office. So ... it would be a drop in a sea.
If you have a place with good cooling and you keep them undervolted to a steady 95-100 watts per card I bet no one would miss the 600+ watts the rig consumes. Hell you might even be able to get away with two
I need to get my co-workers into this :)
I find it interesting learning a bit here and there.
Its worth learning, I started out by CPU mining and it continued to progressed from that point.
What do you mine with that rig? 😊
Ethereum,Zcash,Zcoin,BTX,LBRY,DGB,DCR,VIVO, etc pretty much any GPU friendly algo is fair game
Oh ok. I thought you have specific coin in mind for that rig. How much is the electricity per kWh there?
11c/kwh offset by solar during the day
Thanks! Wow! That's awesome.
Have you tried reducing Power Limit to ~ 70 - 80? I tend to get the same hashrates with less power consumptions. Also I noticed that setting memory too high can again lower the hash rate.
Great rig casing you built there, looks like it might even have some resell value!
The lowest these cards will go in Linux is 90 Watts per card, but I find 100 seems to be the sweet spot for most of mine. I know with full power some 1070s can get up to 37 mh/s if you have won the asic lottery.
Future rigs will be all aluminum with the Brass standoffs mounted in the aluminum which keeps the cost down to about $10-$15 per rig. Plexiglass adds about $10 additional to the cost
Oh I didn't realize this was an actual Watt rating, i thought it's percentage of the standard settings. 100W is pretty low, awesome!
With the nvidia-smi command you can limit or increase the actual watts each card uses to a fixed number.
