Building my first ethereum mining rig.

in #blockchain7 years ago

So a couple months back i got into crypto currencies and since i am such a hardware junkie i thought to myself why not attempt to build a ether mining rig to see what it was like, so i already had to RX 460's 4gb versions laying around so i started mining with them, both of them combined i was getting about 23 hash, average $40 to $50 dollars a month on Claymore miner v9.7 on windows 10, so i decided to pickup 2 more rx 460's because i was liking the income from both of them, and now i am averaging 46 hashrate on all 4 cards combined (Average 11.7 Hashrate per card) so what was my income? and how much did the rig cost? the rig costed me about $600 (Including the cards i already had) total for all the parts, and i am averaging $80 to $100 per month, and about 3 dollars per day including power costs my power costs are about 10 cents a day, that is 1 ether every 2 months or so at the current price per ether at $220, and the rig will be payed off in about 6 months, those are some crazy returns.

Why not plug your screen on the motherboard
I think you will win in memory on GPU0

Almost 100% of the time the monitor is not plugged in, i use a monitoring program to control the PC from my main computer or phone, just plugged it in to snap a fast picture because my print screen was not working, thank you for the comment!
