Already 70%.

Its a single fan GPU. Expected to be hot already with such OC.

I have upgraded my primary PC so the old pc with i7-4770 can be use to build another mining rig.
Current mining boards in Malaysia does not support LGA1150 anymore so I will try using this special board from Taobao.

a very unique design that already has 7 ports for risers build into the board.

Branded GPU from Tmall vendor is reliable.
The problem is the higher price and warranty claim. Sending items to china for warranty claim not cheap.

Bitmain's antminer only has 6 months warranty, if ROI is 8 month then you have 2 months of risks if the miner breaks.

Think properly yo~~~

I notice more and more antminer available on lazada too. The price also getting more reasonable.
Still I prefer GPU mining, a lot less noisy.

If you have cash reserve to cover the installment in case things go wrong, I don't see there is a problem using bank's 0% flexi.

One year later you can say proudly the bank paid for your rig.

Now market got many antminer available while GPU all dry up.

I wonder how many miners actually select and assemble their own rigs, scripting and network configuration.

One of my rojak rig also using NH.
Cleaned and standardized rigs will mine their own pool.

Ya, I agree. Its fun to build and configure your own rig.
My first mining rack is build from pallet wood. However my final goal is to put the rigs in proper 4U/6U casing for easier management of airflow and heat.
Also no dangling wires.

Even pulling and calculating the house electrical load and cooling/ventilation factors.

The frustration with rigs that is unstable also very kek lar.

Confirm not DAG problem, my GTX1060 3GB are happily hashing at this time without issues.
Btw I don't do dual mining.

Maybe try increase your swap file to 24GB?

Suppose dual mine would be better lar coz earn both side...

How much is one GTX1050TI 4G you buy?
Need to determine ROI before say worth or not.

What is your environment?
GPU with single fan?
GPU in cramp casing?
Too much OC?
Hot weather?
GPU design to run hot (eg: Galax Katana)

Try set the fan speed manually in after burner.

Lets use ETH as a base since everyone says ETH to the moon after March.
one GTX1050ti makes 12MH, so a rig with 6 x 1050ti makes 72MH. If you're lucky to get samsubg/micro then you get more.
A full rig that has 6x 1050ti, CPU, MOBO, PSU etc costs about RM8K.

Currently you need about 330MH to mine 1 ETH per month.
With the 72MH power the rig will need (4.58) ~ 5 rigs to get 1 ETH per month.
Thats the costs of 40k already.

With the ETH price of RM4.3k you can use 40k cash to buy 9.3ETH from remitano.

If you believe ETH will at least go up to USD3k on Dec 2018. Why not buy ETH now and hold till end of year?

Take note of possible risks/hassle of running a rig:
1) Electric bill
2) The heat and cooling solution required
3) Management of the rigs
4) Safety concern with open casing (kids, dogs, cats)
5) NVidia's new product launch this March
6) ETH goes prove of stake, ok you still can mine other thing after this so not that big risk.

Maybe I should buy BTC/ETH instead of building more rigs.

Since I already have 3 rigs, I'll buy BTC/ETH for now and wait.
Will spend the bought ETH on some ALT coins too.

Rojak mix of RX570, 1050ti up to 1080ti.

Now with coionhako and luno stop from accepting deposits. Without competition, we Malaysian kena slaughter kao kao when buying coins.

those are specialized mining GPU. 3 month warranty only.
Worth or not see your risk appetite lor.
