Intro to my Mining Rigs
This is an intro to my 2 home-based Mining Rigs, each equipped with 2 unique video cards for proper analysis of which AMD card is most suited for mining bang-for-buck. All Cards have been overclocked and undervolted through Afterburner and Wattman and they all contain stock firmware. I will go more into detail what my clock speeds and voltages are in an upcoming post. I'd love to hear suggestions on how to run my current setup as efficient as possible.

Nicehash miner 1.8.1.3 was used for both rigs
- "Rigby1"
GPU1 - MSI R9 280x 3gb
GPU2 - Asus ROG Strix Rx480 8gb Gaming Series
CPU - Intel i5 3450 3.10 Ghz
PSU - Antec 750W

This is the average payout with both Rigs combined
I will go more in depth with my exact software configuration in a future post coming very soon. This is only a brief introduction to my home mining hardware, I'd love to know what you think of my setup so far!

This guy has taught me tons about mining! <3
Question, if I'm starting out with just 1 rig can I get away with just using my home internet?
If your mining in a pool, you could use the worst internet available and it would still work fine. Only when your solo mining does it strain your connection because you have to download the full DAG file each time rather then small parts of it.
