Steemit readers and fellow miners today I wanna share some ideas that might be useful for beginners or for anyone thinking about getting into crypto mining. (MINING FTW)
Feel free to message me if you have questions or need idea's pertaining to hardware,software or anything mining/crypto coin's.
Ethereum miner AKA -EXCA6
Specs
Intel: G3930 2.9 ghz 51w max, idles 3.2w
Ram: One 4GB corsair stick
Motherboard: Gigabyte H110-D3A six slot pci-e
Video cards: 6 Gtx-1070's (Eth hash-rate 32 m/h's)
Power supply: 1000w corsair Rm1000x & Evga 850w
The video card support stand is made of wood cost me $8 bucks or less for the materials.
(Side note: If you plan on using 6 cards or more get MSI afterburner)

When building a miner think power efficiency, save power where you can, aim for a low wattage cpu & single stick of ram. (If mining with Vega cards get 8gb of ram to unlock the full potential of HBM2 memory on the vega cards)
Remember when crypto-mining power supplies and gpu risers usually are the first to go bad. Signs of failure are always different, but from my experience if you get any sign of lower hash rate, or unstable miner where it shuts down or is constantly restarting check these two areas power supply and gpu risers.
(note: Get name brand PSU Evga,Corsair,Seasonic etc they have great rma response and offer 10yr warranty also gold rated or higher is preferable)
Power is important!
"So what are the hash-rates!?!"
Overclock using Msi afterburner with Nvidia driver 388.00

How much did the whole unit cost... and how much ETH can you mine in 24hrs, I like your project.
$35 -$40 depending how high eth is at currently. I have met my ROI with in 3 months. Total build cost $3000 used newegg for the tax savings.
Thank you for this, I would like to build a machine like this, my Ant Miner just stopped minning, guess the hash boards are bad. Its a pretty good device you can make even your investment in 10 to 12 months on this case of your DIY unit. Thanks for sharing.
yea no problem if you need help just let me know. Also look into Smartcash very easy to mine with nvidia cards and very profitable.
Wow... Never heard about it... SmartCash get ready for me!
The time is coming where ethereum mining will be futile.
Its coming very soon but in the mean time i will collect. Then when the day comes I will mine something else
Nice! Im still kinda confuse in cryptos. Keep on helping the newbies in platform. ")
I will try
Nice!
excelente para comenzar a minar!! buenos consejos amigo!
Gracias
