The journey of a 2017 miner (risers)
Good morning fellow Steemians,
Yesterday I received my 1x to 16x pci-e risers that I ordered from Zasttra (https://www.zasttra.com/) and tested them for my slow but steady mining plan.
I know it looks very crude, but this is my gaming PC that has been turned into my mining rig. The risers are just being tested in the photo with a GTS 250 and GT 240 that I had laying around for use in HTPC's. The risers will be used to add two more GTX 1060's to the rig and that is where I will stop for a while, as this is more a hobby than a way to generate income.
Here is my PC before I started with this frankenstein build.
Hope you all have a blessed day*
GTX can be OC'ed easily without flashing BIOS.
Exactly, I can run mine at 22mh/s (Ether) with a 65% power target, which puts less stress on the cards as well as those fans that can die when pushed to 80%+ 24/7. I'm happy with my choice even if it goes slower than those RX cards currently.
