Daily Mining Profits

[undertaker2k8]

Doing around 270 MH/s on my 2x 3090s and 1x 3060 laptop. Using NH and not looking at daily fluctuations, just getting some BTC in my coinbase account. At this point I semi comfortable holding BTC long term.

Now only I did this with my 5850 back in 2011 for more then 3 hours....

same, did around 3 hours with my 5850 and got 0.14 bitcoin. I used it when that amount was worth $150, had I held it, it would have been $7-8K when ibtc hit $65k.

I don't even know what I did with it, lost the address/key everything, was like this is some dumb shit back then lol

 

[Bassman99]

That's $150 a month. It seems like nothing, but it's really not that bad.

Your wallet looks lower if you are comparing the USD value because ETH is down as well. It will rebound.

However, if you keep the cards running and ETH goes up, so does your money.

Yeah its basically free money

You arent really stressing your card though.

As long as their temps are good, you are fine. The main thing that dies on most mining cards are the fans on more cheaply made cards.

My card gets really high Mem temps if I dont power limit it.
106c+ memory junction, while only 38-45c core. Its weird, but its common I have read. I was under-volting and power limiting to see 96c mem temps or lower so I dont feel like Im seriously damaging the card.
For comparison stress tests I never saw over 84c on mem, gaming 80-84c mem

Which card do you have?

there are a lot of YouTube videos that show how to cool vram with thermal paste or pads. It does make a big difference. I just did it on my Alienware/Dell OEM 3080. It dropped VRAM temps by 8-10* C even after applying 400 more MHz O/C to the RAM. Increased hash rate by 5Mh, (as I was able to overclock more) and decreased auto fan speed from 100% to 53%. HUGE difference in noise. I followed this video, which was for my same card. It was super easy!

Pretty sure it's a 3080 and he hasn't replaced the pads.

Yeah its a Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC
I have watched some on thermal pad replacement.
I couldnt find the right pads in stock.
I was looking at other brands.
The Thermalright look promising.
But, I was thinking of just water-cooling it if it isnt too much harder and I can do it for just a few hundred bucks.
I bought a new case (Lian Li Dynamic Mini) and I would have more room.
Just not sure if water-cooling will make a big difference in mem temps over thermal pads or just core temps.

If it's a full block that covers the memory chips as well then it would definitely help.

Yeah but still needing rear thermal pads I presume.

And I was surprised that overdose of thermal paste on the Dell on the video Archaea linked was SO successful. over 30C reduction!! I know the fan did some of it, but he even turned GPU fans down.
The cooling solution on that 3080 is entirely different from Gigabyte.

The waterblock will use thermal pads to link the memory and other stuff to the block

Been chugging away at around 95mh for the past month or so with a 5700xt and 1080ti. I don't care much for crypto culture, but my wife barely uses her pc for anything besides reading nowadays and I spend much more time painting 3d printed warhammer stuff. Figured eh, screw it. Might as well earn some side cash with them.

Is that 95mh combined?
As long as it isnt going to break or significantly shorten the life of my equipment I see nothing wrong with it. Im just not going to buy a bunch of cards for that purpose.

Yeah, her 5700xt does 50 while my 1080ti can get around 43-45, though using 30 or so more watts of power. This is also using NH, I don't care about mining enough to do any of the other methods.

 

[Parja]

Oof, yeah, it seems Gigabyte must have used some really crappy pads on their cards. Replacing the thermal pads shows a huge improvement in memory temps.

Im getting 70-80 on my 3080 because Im capping it 92C mem temps

Seems like a lot of expense to water-cool. Im just going to buy thermal pads and paste and see what that does first.

That's one nice thing at least. Both of our pcs are custom looped for the hobby side of it. So the gpus/CPUs stay nice and cool doing their work.

Threw our CPUs into mining too for the hell of it. The 5600x and 3600 seem to add a decent little chunk.

Does the CPU actually earn anything. I did mine separate for a few minutes on NiceHash and didnt look like it was doing anything.

I am rebuilding my NR200 into a Liam Li mini so I could def do a loop, but Ive spent SO much this year on PC stuff...

The CPUs are adding another 15 percent of what the gpus are earning. Fair enough since the ryzens are very power efficient.

No it is not. It is doing 15kh/s not 15mh/s. Cpu mining is pointless

 

[NightReaver]

The btc payout is 10-15 percent of what the gpu payout is.

Sure, nothing amazing. But it is profitable so eh, why not.

 

[Andrew_Carr]

A Ryzen 3600 should be earning him about $20 / month and a 5600X about $30 / month. CPU mining with Ryzens is pretty decent right now if you're already running the systems anyway.

When I ran it on my 5950x NH showed it running at 15kh/s and barely bumped my profit. It only loaded up 8 of my cores. It was sitting at 50% while mining. Didn't seem worth it for the extra heat and power it was using.

Well electricity depends on your cost. Mine is around 0.12/kwh. Heat? Well I run an oversized loop on both computers anyways so *shrug*.

It's something at least.

Mines like .08/kwh. Still even with my custom loop minging on GPU and CPU really warms up the room. It is perfectly fine during the winter time but not atm. Especially once summer hits.

I mean that's also a pretty hot cpu compared to a 5600x

But yeah, it's not amazing, but I'm running a pretty small setup so the percentage added on top isn't too tiny. For some passively generated money I wouldn't quite call it pointless.

Edit - the 5950x is showing 1.70 or so daily profit for me. I'd gladly be running that, but that would require me buying one. That wouldn't fly with my wife

Honestly, I feel like CPU mining Monero is a safer investment than GPU mining at the moment. It's consistently profitable and the new Ryzen CPUs are one of the best price/performance/watt CPUs you can mine with. The ROI is just really long (12-24 months typically).

Thanks, and that's a HGE temp difference!
I was looking at some generic ones and considering them, Hal the thermal conductivity spec though.

Safer in what way? GPU mining is far more profitable

My RX6700 is about 6-9x more profitable than my 3900x is daily. CPU mining i am in the $1-$1.20 USD range depending, where as GPU mining i am normally in the $5-$10 range as high as $12 USD sometimes depending on NH factors. I have paid off over $400 towards my GPU from mining on it since i got it couple months back.

 

[skiddy]

This was at the peak of my daily rate back ~4/20 (~$33-34/day), but I typically sit somewhere between $20-30/day at 250MH/s average while I'm not gaming. I manually use NBMiner to ethermine pools.

-3080 - Main rig
-1660ti - Plex server
-2080max-q - gaming laptop (does nearly 40MH/s @ 80W lol)
-1080ti + 2060 rtx - spare computer I setup with my extra gpus

Didn't buy any of this stuff for mining, but I decided to start back on March 15th when I realized I didn't want to go through the hassle of selling my spare GPUs. I've made about ~$1500 so far, and ~$150 is from converting some old curecoin stuff I had. Only had the 2060 running for the past couple of weeks, and I didn't really overclock anything for the first month. I think this is all dumb, but I'll ride the wave and deal with the tax headache when the time comes . First power bill was only ~$30 higher at $0.101kw/h

 

[Bassman99]

I have 2 prebuilt preorder expected to ship in end of June. I think they are gonna use the new limp 3080s and Im trying to contact Ibuypower and Cyberpowerr top confirm and possibly cancel based on the responses

 

[Bassman99]

I just got off the phone with Ibuypoweer and my GPU is already in stock so it isnt a limp card.
It will be an Asus Tuf Gaming OC he told me.
I havent gotten a hold of Cyberpower yet though, but I emailed them.

 

[undertaker2k8]

My RX6800 is doing 60-61 Mh/s using NBMiner on NH with fast memory timings (at 2100 Mhz) and 140W. Lowering the power any further seems to lower the hashrate as well. Voltage is 793 mv and core at 1237 Mhz Any ideas on how to improve this without messing with MPT and bios?

Looks like the 6700 xt isnt any good for mining 192 bit bus speed

Do the AMD cards run cool on the memory?
I assume so since GDDR6 Vram

On EVGA 3060 im getting 47-48 hm on 120 watts

My 6700xt ran very cool. About 65 C junction temps even when I had two GPUs in the same case. The 6xxx series isn't great for pure hashing power but they're very power efficient and seem to run cool. In my experience the 6700XT gets about 3MH/s less than a 5700XT but runs about 10C cooler on junction temps at the same power draw. The 5700XT can get a little more depending on your memory settings but will probably have worse gaming performance/resale value so I think either one is fine to buy if you can get them at MSRP.

How much mh does the 6700 xt get for you?

 

[Andrew_Carr]

I get 47MH/s on it. In low intensity mode I get like 46MH/s, so it's nice for that because you can still use your computer while mining. I used More Power Tool to reduce the minimum voltage to about 650-680mV or so and then downclocked the core to about 1250MHz. Fast memory timings on Windows and you're basically good to go. You can overclock the memory but I didn't notice a huge difference.

If I run multiple cards on one pc do they need to be the same breed? I mean like all AMD or all Nvidia?
And can you adjust cards individually?
Im using Nicehash

 

[Andrew_Carr]

No, you can run all mixtures of cards. The basic rule though is you usually can't run the same mining program twice, so if you want to use Phoenix miner for example, you could run it for either nvidia or AMD but not both, so you'd do something like run Phoenix miner on nvidia and TeamRedMiner or something else for the AMD cards.

It would be a pain to mix cards on Windows but it's possible, you just have to mess with the config options depending on the program. I'm not familiar with Nicehash, but on HiveOS you just have to setup your flight sheet accordingly. So you'd select ETH mining for example, select say Phoenix Miner, use a command to use only nvidia cards (or something specific card IDs depending on program) and then add to the flight sheet a second mining program for the AMD cards. You can even mix algorithms, for example if you have 2 x RX470s mining Ravencoin, 1 x 5700 XT mining ETH, and 1 x GTX 3060 mining ETH, you could have them all working together but the initial setup is a little complicated.

As far as individual card setup goes, again, I'm not sure about NiceHash but on HiveOS and the other Linux variants you setup overclocking templates by algorithm. So for the Ethereum Ethash Algorithm for example, you might want high memory overclocks and low core clocks, but for the same cards on Ravencoin you'd want both to be high maybe. So you can create overclocking templates, find out what's stable for each card, and then save that as a template for that algorithm. Then when you switch mining flight sheets on that rig it'll automatically redo all the overclocks to whatever is optimized for that particular algorithm. This comes in handy if you're switching between say ETH, FIRO, and other coins to maximize profit.

It looks like Ill be giving the 6700 xt to my daughters BF
I might run the 3060 and 3080 (after its T.P. surgery) in one case and the 6800 in another.
But 2 cards one MB can run together in Nicehash though right?
