I Built a CPU Mining Rig, This thing is Awesome! AMD 3900X CPU Mining Rig

[@cryptoventure101]

things you can do further 1. just use USB flash drive and run it on hiveOS 2. if you're not gpu mining on the rig, should enable VGA/GPU ignore setting in the Bios, reboot and run cpu rig without gpu to save more on power consumption

[@TechnicalsMatt]

About to pull the trigger on a nice CPU rig, great vid!

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Good choice!

[@CryptoBlockchainTechnologies]

CPU mining is way better than GPU mining at the moment. I have about 21 rigs deployed right now, 3900’s and up.

[@stick-band]

What are you mining now?

@djkontol69everyday I am on zeph now, it seems to be ok now, but price is falling

I got the following error whether I use a USB, SSD, or M.2 drive to flash HiveOS: Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. The writer process ended unexpectedly." I used balenaEtcher. Any idea?

[@coreanstacker5427]

I get the following error when I try to flash HiveOS using balenaEtcher: "Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. The writer process ended unexpectedly." I tried balenaEtcher on USB, M.2, and SSD. Always the same error after the flashing and validation process. Do you know why?

[@Hobo-Henry]

the downside is with all the FOMO pay rate is tanking.

[@OvalboreTech]

gigabyte bios is best. you can just type 36 enter for clock ratio. vcore is under advanced voltages, or amd CBS/PBS. you definitely want to enter that as the VDD is still on auto, and appx 20w higher than it could be at that hashrate. I recently did a stream tweaking a 3900X for mining if curious. turn off cool&quiet too. XMP (and Im controvercial in saying this) should not be on. set mem to 2400mhz 1.2V. saves power and loses next to no hashrate. if you are pushing for highest hashrate power be damned XMP does then matter. 4G decoding not necessary for CPU rig under 90c is fine for temp.

[@jakeeames725]

The goat!

[@DEMONFIT3R]

I was wondering if you can help me with my settings. I have the same b450 mobo with a ryzen 7 5800x but can't find what settings for it. It's listed to do 11k hash but mines running at 7k hash

[@OvalboreTech]

no way in hell those will touch 11. that chip should do 8-8.6KH at about 95-100w wall. CPUs are too hard to help remotely on due to the huge number of bios layouts and wild silicon lottery. see my CPU live stream for basic settings @@DEMONFIT3R

[@kishorprogamer]

Gigabyte A520M K with R5 3600 getting temp above 90 tried cooling/used heatsink cooler still it didn't come now I want to undervolt or Heatsinks on VRM

[@RabidPandaMining]

Add in the random x parameters from the xmrig config file so you can enable huge-pages-jit and 1GB pages

[@MyLibertyTV]

Just watching this video and man the profitability for these CPUs has really changed in only 3 months, have to bump up to at least a 7950X for the same level of performance now.

[@newunderthesun7353]

The finish line is always moving with mining - it is hard to get anything to work long term. The only way these things work is if you get a 10x on your bag from appreciation, because mining at current prices takes 3 years to ROI.

[@erguiri69]

lets go Qubic for mininig

[@TheGlitterMan]

How much RAM do you need for Monero mining? Is it 8Gb, 16Gb, 32 Gb?

[@ariaveilleux8166]

@The Hobbyist Miner. I believe you can do that in ryzen master

[@johneyrich3022]

I don’t know how close to a micro center you are but the inland m.2 would be great. Inexpensive for the lower size like 250gb

[@THE_SPEEDY_CAR_MEMEZ]

I have a few late 2010s desktops from colleges. Is it possible for me to mine with them?

[@gamingwithsmokeydan]

If your gonna be building cpu rigs get yourself a non-powered card that way you don't have to attach cables that will be removed once rig is set up, This only applies to 3000 and 5000 series cpus as they don't have on board graphics. These are the two m.2 ssd's I use for cpu rigs: Netac NV3000 250GB SSD 250GB Internal NVMe SSD Solid State Drive M.2 2280mm PCIe3.0 3D NAND with Heat Sink Patriot P300 M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x4 128GB Low-Power Consumption SSD

[@Joe-wk9ow]

All the threadripper stuff also do not have onboard GPU's.

[@shakthivel5602]

Dude iam new to this but is it fine iam only to do cpu mining can I use some high end cpu parted with some low end GPU like gt 710?

[@gamingwithsmokeydan]

@@shakthivel5602 5000 series amd and 3000 series is fine and then can take card off to run headless so no display connected etc... if using a 7000, 8000 or 9000 series then no need for a gpu. Hope that helps

[@shakthivel5602]

@@gamingwithsmokeydan thanks for the info dude.. so basically for cpu mining GPU doesn't matter no matter what?

[@gamingwithsmokeydan]

@@shakthivel5602 yeah as long as can get a display out so you can do all the settings in bios or ryzen master then once set you can remove or run with, if you set it up to remote in then you can access it from another computer as if you were on that rig, very easy when comes to changing settings or switch to another coin.

[@goodperson5992]

Don't use need to setting disable look for GPU? on mainboard? then you can take the GPU out

[@josephrao9787]

It's for the fan the wire and make sure you turn the little switch on the fan on high and the cables is a pain in the dick

[@everlett1122]

the cooler came with the cpu lol

[@REBEL15]

It’s work without gpu?

[@wolverine1981pl]

Which motherboard pins do you have that on\off switch on? I have an Asrock B450 on the way and I want to make sure I don't screw anything up.

[@EricSoulliage]

nice job , now time to give it a dozen GPU

[@EricSoulliage]

i had bad luck with EVGA power supplies , i stick to HP server power sups for GPU and rog thor ('i'm a sucker for the wattage in front , what can i say i mine with CPU ) for motherboards

[@EricSoulliage]

xeons are nice chips for mining too got bigger L2 (so larger L2/cores) then user i serie

[@EricSoulliage]

i also do 12k5 rx0 on this exact same CPU

[@swiftcurrent326]

This might be a stupid question but I'm new to all this. How did you get all that stuff connected to a keyboard/mouse/monitor?

[@FatFrog11]

he just run the pc open on table instead of in an pc case/tower. so he plugs all the keyboard/mouse/monitor in to the motherbord as normal.

[@gianlucapx]

Wait a moment... wasn't mining dead few months ago? Or that goes only for gpus? Just asking, I'm not an expert.

[@cociodarrazvan5961]

that's like more than 500 usd worth of equipment, making 1,5 usd a day, and when the hashrate will go up, you'll make even less than 1 usd a day.... also consider the space you need for each motherboard . gpu or asic mining still better

[@MorbidXTC]

For simplicity purposes id probably stick with nicehash... not that hive is difficult, but i just find nicehash easier/faster for me to get going... love the rig... not bad for a first one... look forward to seeing more! 60c shouldn't be a problem.. my r5 3600 has a top temp of 90c before it throttles or shuts down.

[@raghunathdesai1980]

Even my Ryzen 5 3600 has temps of 90c+, is there any solution for that?

[@MorbidXTC]

@@raghunathdesai1980 only solution I'm aware of is a better cooling set up like a wraith prism or aio liquid cooling... I used one from vetoo a while back but it died, so I'm back to a stock fan for now

[@starkistuna]

@@raghunathdesai1980 disable PBO u will lose -20c off the cpu for negligible performance if u have inadequate fan

[@ganeshnh]

​@@raghunathdesai1980use raizen master to undervolt to .975 or 1.025 , also overclock to 3900-4000mhz. It will reduce temp by 20 degrees

I deal with cable management, I by throwing it away in a crawl space and forget about it.

I bought a bunch of $10 dollar old gpus that dont take external power cable to plug into my cpu mining rigs so you dont need the extra cables and dont need to remove it and you can always plug a monitor into it if needed

Great video! Always good info - havent cpu mined since I turned off my monero rigs couple yrs ago but will have to put my 5900 and 5950 to work now!! I did a quick search but curious if anyone can point me to a cpu hashrate guide that is current? Have a bunch of 5600Gs, 5700Gs and 11700k and 12700k - about 15-20 sitting around collecting dust and all with brand new motherboards I was going to sell but curious if its worth it to break those out after Im done with the 5900s.... is it reaching trying to find profit in those older cpus

I havent met a 3900x that needs more than 1V at 3.6GHz all core. most take 975 or less.
