They said it does not affect if the RX series cards has 6Gb or 8Gb memory

Tempered - on digital electric meter? Someone said TNB can actually detect it somehow.

Still using analog. But thanks for the heads up, will be wary of it if I ever do setup my own rig

using S9?

6 GPU rig

What GPU u using?

Nvidia

is it those miners gpu?

I currently using HD6950 + HD7750 resulting in Rm1.50-Rm2.00 using Nicehash, any other recommended cards? Plannning to upgrade hehe

LTC is cheap now and I am going to top up another 10LTC hashpower is Hashnesh.

Nope. Haven't tested on those dedicated mining GPU yet.
But would like to try out both Nvidia and ATIs ones in the near future..

your rig cost? RM12k ; TNB bill usage? also the difficulty keeps increasing

Well, I build myself the rig in order to try keep the cost down as I source everywhere.
Depending on your rig cost, at the estimated current payout rate you would be able to calculate your ROI.

The GPUs these days are overprice and expensive - the bulk of the rig cost. Dedicated mining GPUs might keep the cost down but comes at the expense of warranty.

TNB bill usage on the rig alone.. or total consumption of everything in your hse/office...

Yes, the difficulty keep increasing.. sigh!

If you are a new, I suggest you stay away from actual mining now its a bad time to get it, if it was 3-4 months ago, then go ahead. now is not a good time to buy eth mining rig, first of all the hardware are extreamly expensive now, POS, difficulty bomb, current weak ETH price but that should be temp. there is no more 3month roi
zcash is not good on 1060, 1070 and 1080ti yes if you can get it at reasonable price, other coins tho not sure, Im actually in the mids researching on mining other coins to hedge my bets.

it took me a very long time to get my 2nd rig done, you need very good PC trouble shooting skills.
Basically took me 2 days to figure out i had multiple issues with pci usb risers and not software, took another day to test each individual PCI/mobo, and full pci/gpu, there are lots of shit quality ones out there now, as high demand low quality.
Once I determine the defective ones, about 1/3 was not usable, 1/3 was ok but had stability issues, lucky I had ordered much more then I needed.
My first batch of riser work 7 out of 7 perfectly. 2nd batch form different supplier was horrible.

If all your hardware is fine and plugged in, it just takes 2-3 hours each PC to setup the software from to finish (flash mobo, install os, updates, miner, driver, etc... start mining.)

another option is do LTC mining using L3+ buy from bitmain.com. I got 2 on its way. its currently more profitable on that, but its noisy as hell. should be much simpler to setup then gpu rig.

Else suggest you better head do cloud mining instead, Im on the LTC plans as well and its also the most profitable one now for cloud mining
https://www.hashnest.com/ (they are actually bitmain.com)

there are people there that can help you, lots have join already, just do yourself a favour and dont say i send you there, im the black sheep there.

By the way where are you seeing people selling their mining rigs?
price of 1060 is still way over price, same as 1070.

oh thats not what i heard, maybe they have updated it since, as ati and claymore were looking into a solution, they claim s.g miner (linux) was not effected, but no one can verify that. the was about 1 week ago, i dont follow as it does not effect me. im only have gtx.

Good advice! 3 months ROI - no more....
But today saw someone bought 2 rig....dahsyat betul... Nevertheless, I like that new rig case as it can put 4 mobos inside with each 6 gpu. If 12 gpu setup, then one rack will be wasted.

I got one L3+ on the way also. Didn't order two or more coz need to test out first esp on its profitability as well as ROI.
Noise is nightmare

Just wondering whether the Antminer is as noisy as my not so good condition of my fan....

Hi Leon, Thanks a lot for the advice. Personally I don't like the idea of using ASICs because I don't want to be tied to a particular coin, that coin die means I die. Also by buying a GPU rig, if I mess up, worst case I can at least sell the GPUs so all is not lost. About people selling their rigs, mostly people in US liquidating their rigs to buy coins as the difficulty increases and ice age coming. Because of POS, Ether is probably only a short term thing. I know currently is the "bad" phase of mining, so was planning to wait for some cheap 1070 cards to pop up as a result.

Can you consistently make enough money mining to replace a full time job? To ang moh it might not look like much, but was estimating 6 x 1070 rig can net you like RM1.5k a month? So if I have 4 of these rigs it could potentially sustain me? I know it's not a get rich quick thing, but 11 or 12 months ROI in business is considered pretty decent already. It feels too good to be true though, so I'm thinking, where is the loophole?

Thanks a lot for your time.
