The Antminer (current models the S7, S9 and R4) are purpose-built ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) computers for the only purpose of Bitcoin mining.

It cannot do any other task. It is programmed to mine Bitcoins using the SHA-256 algorithm.

All you need to set it up is to key in your mining pool and your Bitcoin wallet address.

It is much more efficient (hashrate/power consumption) than your custom mining rig that utilizes GPUs.

I believe one of the forum member here is looking to sell his Antminer S7.  smile.gif

This mean Buying Antminer is more worth than spending 20k for 6 gpus with our custom build mining setup? On top of it , Antminer only mine Btc ? Not like us la.. mining using nicehash then get payout need to convert to btc?

Start with 3 GPU
Casing, u can buy over mudah.my

GPU, choose Nvidia, 8g, OC model. Undervolt it for better performance / stability
Best to get 1070GTX.
Watt usages is 450w, u can buy CORSAIR 1000 W for future expention.

How if i'm using a single card with gtx 970 temps around 77 something after setting new fancurve using MSI Afterburner .. is it worth it? Im using nicehash anyway am i doing good? .. if so i'm not doing good , what mobo would support 2/3 gpu at one time? And what risk should i aware of other than electric bills?

I heard using AMD gpus are better? rx580 or rx480

Yes. Antminers (built by Bitmain) only mine bitcoins, nothing else.

Whether it is more worth it than custom-built rigs is subject to debate.  smile.gif

This mean Bitcoin is best with ANTMINER meanwhile Ethreum best with our custom rig ?
by using the power of gpus ? ..

RX series is better to mine for ethereum as it was a cheaper card before the spike.
To check for the mobo support, you can refer to this link here :
http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/motherboa...thereum-mining/

you'll need to get a 16x riser for the additional card.

Make sure your PSU is good enough to handle that wattage.

I'm just try to usha2 this GPUs and motherboard first before decide to build one .. just that , If i'm getting 2 Rx480/Rx580 what CPU would be best for this setup? . Also how much ram do i need for atleast to run this mining smoothly with the computer not being laggy? . I'm sure we need a server type hdd which last long (Purple HDD), i have one purple hdd in stock which i didn't use maybe could be use for this mining rig ..

Getting 16x Riser hm.. , that gonna be my future plan , for now nothing to expand yet . Start from small-small only haha..

Yes,Around that (230+ Sols) 16-12MYR/Day, well i saw a post from overseas group talked about this mining rigs , one of them use 2 gpus which is nvidia gtx1070 with gtx 950 . Also using the same program that i use which is nicehash . Got about 9USD/Day . I used gtx970 only can get Equish to work with me not DaggerHashimoto , As far as i know NiceHash auto detect the mining Aligrothm best for us ..
