12 GPU RX470 Mining Rig Ravencoin Hashrate, Overclocks and Profitability

[Music] what is going on miners and welcome back to the hobbyist miner channel well the team over at sheba coffee company saw how many times that i drank coffee while i was doing mining videos and went ahead and sent me over their own blend these guys just went ahead and dropped recently as you can see established in 2021 and they went ahead and asked me what blend was my favorite and they sent over the breakfast blend which is their medium roast so we have some here in our bitcoin cup and we're going to go ahead and give it a try so first taste looking you can see a little coffee dripping down there such a slob it was actually pretty dang good i am uh definitely going to enjoy this so if you guys do want to get yourselves some shiba coffee go ahead and check it out over at shiba coffee company dot com and grab yourselves some coffee [Music] what is going on miners and welcome back to the hobbyist miner channel well today we're going to talk about our 12 gpu ravencoin mining rig at the same time it is time for us to pack up our grow tent so as you guys know i have been renovating this basement look we got a door in uh and we are almost at the stage that we need to start to spackle sand and paint it so that being said we have gotten to a point where we're going to be putting flooring down soon this is actually going to be like a living room area there's going to be a tv on the wall there a grow tent is not in the works and would not fly with my wife full time which is fine our mining room is now ready for these cards so let's go ahead and open this up [Music] and i'll show you guys what we're working with real quick and then we're going to move it so here's what we're looking at we have 11 sapphire nitro rx470s four gig cards we have one rx 570 for gig card all of them are bios modded and they're mining raven coin right now they've been riding mining raven coins since i got these things back in february march march i think 2021 this year so i'll go over everything we have here in detail when we actually have it apart so i'm going to strip down this rig we're going to pack this up i do need to grab the pdu there our pdu is a 30 amp to 40 volt pdu it actually runs through comes over to here actually bought this this is from infinity cables great company their products are awesome so i bought this it's an extension male to female so it takes that cable and extends it and look where it's going and that on the other side of the wall is our mining room and it's hooked right in to a space coast space goes power meter which has an ac monitor so i can monitor the wattage so we need to take that apart because i need this in the mining room and i'm going to strip down this rig we'll throw it on the table we'll go through everything and then we'll reinstall it and then we'll talk about hash rate and profitability and all that fun stuff that i know you mining nerds love so i'll be back in a minute when this thing is stripped down all right right here is miner porn let's go over everything that we see on the table this is everything out of the grow tent so let's talk about power first so this is a triple-eight pdu uh the model is 1230 and uh it has a l630r plug on the end this is the locking uh so you put it in and lock it and it locks in has a really long cable it's 15 feet unfortunately i wish they sold one that was less because i'd love to be able to get like a three foot one because that's really all i need but maybe we'll cut it and and re-terminate at some point we'll see so it does come with a variety of plugs on the front here as well as what we are using which is the c14 same thing through the back this thing is awesome so it is rated for 240 as you guys can see here and it works great i have three of these they work really really well so those will go ahead and we have the cables from there the c1413 one wires in here to a 1200 watt power supply as well as a second 1200 watt power supply our total rig uses 1740 watts so if we do some quick math 1200 plus 1200 is the 2400 times 80 because you only want to use 80 percent that puts us at 1 920 so we're not too far off in that regard about 200 watts off actually now our 650 watt evga power supply is overkill uh it's just one that i had at that moment i love modular power supplies it is just powering the motherboard right now nothing crazy so it's kind of overkill you know i really could go with something smaller i do enjoy using the server power supplies entirely for the cards compared to splitting things up but it's all whatever you guys prefer so we have our pci cables these are the six plus two uh that we do have available there and oh if you guys are interested in any of this stuff here maybe not the gpus but i'm gonna put a link to everything down below if you guys are interested in anything that you guys see on the table so let's talk about our motherboard setup so this is a board design that i built some time back and i have a few of these actually there's two right down there and pretty much it's a piece of plywood with um toolbox liner and then that's stapled down and then i have some angled aluminum that i've cut and drilled to hold like the solid state in place the power supply and they work great and and then the motherboard is lightly tapped into the uh board there works awesome for these hanging rack setups so what we're running here is the azrock h110 pro btc motherboard thanks to actually chump change xd he actually donated this to me some time back i'll put a link to his channel he has a youtube channel guys he's a mining content creator and boy has he blown up uh he has fantastic content over there right now focusing on cpu minus mining focusing on a cpu wall he's building i mean go check out his channel he's got some really cool stuff over there right now i'll put a link down below and show his channel on the screen so we have just one stick of 4 gig memory in there we're using a celeron processor in here nothing crazy just with the stock heatsink we are using a gpurisers.com solid state and then we do have the gpurisers.com adapter cards we have 12 in here i'm probably going to add a third card to this because we don't want to go ahead and waste it and then we do have our red and blue usb a to a cables that come with our risers now the only ones that are different are these three look how long these are so these let's kind of put these together here ready you can kind of see it okay so this is where these end and then these go a little bit longer um these are usb 3.0 a to a braided usb cables that are a little bit longer i didn't want to go too long because you don't want to have any issues but the ones that come with the risers are just they're not long enough in some situations it's always that like farthest card and so i went ahead and bought these uh i'll have links to these down below too a lot of people have asked about these over the months and these are awesome they work great i mean there's the distance if you really need to look at it i don't remember the exact size of those sorry i keep dropping it on that box there so that is our motherboard so now let's talk about our gpus so my first six gpus that i bought ever are these guys uh i shouldn't say ever that i bought together as a group in march of this year are these these are the sapphire nitro rx 470 4 gig cards now these are pretty sweet they do have a bios switch on them so you can do dual bios there you can see their v bios switch uh and so these are really really nice and i'm gonna tell you the price and you guys are gonna go holy cow at least for me it was a good deal in march i got all six of these cards for 120 bucks each so one two three four five six that's 600 20 40 60 800 720 so i got all those cards for 720 they have done so well just mining ravencoin straight up since march then shortly after we bought these which are the sapphire rx 474 gig cards and these are what they call i think they call these like your open box or your brown box models so they're a little bit different they're a little smaller uh they don't have the back plate on them they don't have the um dual bios on them they're kind of like your your base model base model and then you know kind of your premium model you could say i did have six of these at one point one of them must have been run a little hot prior to me buying it because i only had it for a few weeks before i had some problems with it and the car died there were some when i said it to my guy who repairs my gpus he did let me know that there was some burn damage on it and so we just went ahead and used it as a donation card for other card repairs the last card here you can see much bigger is the rx 570 you can see it's got these much larger heat pipes on the side and this guy you can see also uses an 8 and a 6 pin this guy is really really nice it uses so it can handle a little bit more memory but at the end of the day when you look at watts versus hash rate the 470s are better than the 570. the 570 hashes at about the same right about that same spot you're right anywhere between 12 to 14 based off of fluctuations for your hash rate and the watts are a little bit higher on the 570 which make it a little less efficient than the 470s so if you guys are trying to debate 470 versus 570 with 4 gig 470 is better across the board when you're looking at hash rate to wattage efficiency so i think that's everything i think i went over everything so my goal now is i'm going to blow out these cards because they're out and available and we're going to come in and we're going to put them right here right here is what i'm thinking in this area so the motherboard in the middle and then hang them through here i've kind of been using this area for my pre-builds we have our 12 gpu pre-built here this build don't get me started i'll talk about it in a future video and then these i just got these boards up and running they're available to get to mine some gpus in the meantime those are all 6600s there so and then my flux rig is upstairs in the upstairs bedroom heating uh the upstairs of my home so let's go ahead and you guys will see a 12 gpu hanging rack here in three two and one so i'm going through rebuilding everything uh in the other room and look what i came across okay this is the first one so let me take this off real quick can i do it one-handed yep so i'm going to go ahead and plug these all in okay this is what a traditional plug looks like okay look what i found look what i found this is my first i've never had this happen before so i started to go through all my pci cables to look at the six plus two ends and i found this one and let me see if i can show you it's probably really hard to see but that middle cable has a brown tint to it in the middle i don't know if you guys can see it right up towards the connector that's crazy guys i've never had this happen before and we're you know we're using 16 gauge pci cables we're using the gpu risers.com splitters which i've never had issues with but here's the here's the difference guys you ready we are mining ravencoin we're mining ravencoin and ravencoin is no joke so do not cheap out on anything when it comes to your connectors to i'm gonna power these with sata like please i am lucky i found this and it wasn't a bigger problem didn't occur anyways let me get back to my build okay that always takes longer than you expect but we're back up and running look at this thing hell yeah i swear i need to change the name of this rig to octopus just with like the way the pci cables and the usb cables come up so a few things to point out you know in the previous build in the tent the server power supplies were up top here and the same thing with this one over here i may still move them because the amount of heat that the that they put out i'd rather have it up top here so the heat rises you know and doesn't rise past the cards but we'll see how the airflow ends up working out in this room sorry it is loud guys i do apologize i'm gonna try to shout as much as i can so a few things changed uh that i added so the usb cables i ended up using you can see the black ones here i end up using three on each side of the longer braided cables for one two three because they're so far away and then one two three so the outside ones use the longer braided cables the inside ones are using the red and the blue cables that being said i did move that pdu right down here and then our three c4 to c13 cables come up and go into the back there there and there our wattage right now i'm going to try to zoom in here see if you guys can see it or not those are going to give it to me all right 1860 [Music] we'll say 1 865 is what our watts are right now for this entire setup so ravencoin man that is a lot of wattage so let's go ahead and jump over to the computer here uh we'll see real quick let me refresh this page here okay so there is our 12 gpus right around 13 2 currently right now as you guys can see now if we take that let's come up top here i'm going to update on uh what to mine one that's doing 158.5 mega hash our power we said was 18.65 and we have our cost in here for our power and let's hit calculate okay so here it is this rig revenue is 16.17 a day it uses 2.55 in power giving us a profit of thirteen dollars and sixty two cents which puts us at a week ninety five dollars and thirty one cents and a month 408.49 but yeah man i'm excited the grow tent is stripped down and ready to go we got our rig in here all good to go and i mean it i do love the gpu hangers i mean look we got more of them over here our 580 rig and a miscellaneous a little bit of everything rigged down here but these run on the rebtech boards i think that's why i love those so much this is definitely bigger i may eventually put these into two frames like this here i'll have to see i have some more of those coming in from triple a wave but that's going to do it for today guys i do appreciate you guys coming to check out today's video if you guys have questions on anything post it down below i'll put the links all down down below to the things we talked about give the video a thumbs up if you guys enjoyed it and don't forget to subscribe take care [Music] [Music] you
