BTC-S37 Mining Rig Performance / November 2021-January 2022

💡Tryout HIVEOS Entirely Free:

hello everyone from a windy day since i   started mining it's been one week 
now and i made this wooden bench it's   made by really really cheap materials that i 
bought off of bauhaus they're so cheap you can see   maybe you don't i don't know the wood 
is actually a bit bendy in here also   even there cheap material like that 
would do the work for me for now   so my second psu has arrived today i'm going to 
install two new rtx 3060 ti's today but first   i'm going to take all of these out and 
try to sort out this bending issue here so i will share the results of bench after it 
finishes i'm gonna work on the support today   all right i built some kind of support 
underneath the plank that carries the motherboard it looks like shit i know but it's cheap and it 
works for now so i'll use it for a while   i will start installing those four original cards i had 
back and then add two extra 360 ti's to the system   this is the psu from the previous video 
and this is the psu that just arrived today   same purchase but i've been advised to buy my next 
server psu as a platinum grade one so i will look   into that and if i can i will buy my next server 
psu hp platinum series which has less noise and   better energy efficiency apparently let's start 
two new cards added the new psu is installed power is plugged we are ready to go now i 
know everything is looking too unprofessional   i just put some uh screws in just enough to keep 
those guys steady i'm not pushing them down or   anything because this wood is actually bent i 
don't know if you can tell from the video but   i think you can yeah look at these levels they're not all the same so i'm not pushing them down   to the hardest just enough to keep them all all right this one's a bit slacking i will fix 
that in a minute our lan cable is in hiveos is there   those four cards are getting their powers from 
our first psu here and those two are our new cards   one of them is gigabyte one of 
them is msi both of them 3060 ti's   and for now we're only using the 
half of power outputs of the new psu   i'm saving the other half for our next 
two empty slots here so i will power them   up in a bit and i will show you the hiveos screen 
also what kind of overclock settings i'm doing   they're not set in stone i'm just doing 
tryouts for now we'll see together i think   we are ready to go let's flip the switch 
boom switch one oh this also lighted up so it's feeding back to this board okay we heard the sound smell test no weird smell fans are running okay let's see what's 
going on in our hive os refresh the page there we go we have six cards on stock 
settings as you can see order has changed   and our clock settings are 
at like default settings our load average is 1.45 now we 
are consuming one kilowatt 1.05 and they started running they started 
mining our fourth card is 3070   and the rest is 3060 ti's yeah so i will set um i will set one four zero 
watts power limit for all of them   for starters and for the memory clock and 
core clock i'm gonna leave them empty for now   we're gonna click save now the workers are 
updated you see on stock they're drawing like   190 watts the tdp value that's 
what i mentioned in the last video   we're going to draw everything they can and we 
got to stop them by limiting our maximum power   by setting a power limit now 
they're gonna there you go now they're drawing 140 watts maximum 
these are the percentages of the fans   and these are the temperatures of the card so these last two are the ones we just 
installed there you go this is gigabyte and   this is msi since we didn't apply any overclocks 
so they're a bit low for 360 ti's i was getting   in average like 44 45 mega hash and 
for 30 70 i was getting 45 46 mega hash   i will set all the core clocks to minus 500 
for starters i'll just do one by one okay now it's sending the settings the values are showing up they're all 
set to -500 core the reason we do this   is we are mining ethereum we are using eight 
hash algorithm he attach only uses memories so we   don't need the core to throw unnecessary power or 
create unnecessary heat as we go yeah so i started   having this auto stop issue again with this 
error gpu driver error no attempts so i backed   down on all of my overclocks again just set 
the power limits to 130 to see what's going on right what the fuck? we just applied 
power limit with no overclocks now i just turned on the rig and we're seeing like 
36 37 40 something something of values maybe i   will do the overclock settings for the first four 
cards they already had good settings that i used   so i might as well apply overclock to them but 
the the new two cards i won't apply any overclock   for now i'll just apply a power limit and let it 
run if it doesn't come up with this error again we'll see so the cards kept giving me errors   and i think the reason is because for like a 
stress test i packed all six cards together   at the start but apparently it was causing a 
lot of heat and this bad boy this big guy was   at the very end this is the worst performing card 
temperature wise asus and it was right at the end   so the cards when i checked the fan speeds and 
temperatures they were getting best to worse   from right to left and this was at the 
very end and its fans were running like 99   still it was struggling to keep the heat so i 
separated the cards like this in three groups   i already ordered extra standard pc fans i ordered 
four of them i'm gonna put them here when they   arrive and hopefully create some extra airflow 
in between carts you can see i wouldn't consider   this one as very tight this one's a bit tight 
this one i wouldn't also consider very tight so our   spacing is generally okay in my opinion the only 
thing we are missing are the extra fence because   we are at that point right now they are generating 
so much heat they are affecting each other   uh before when i had four cards they had good 
spacing between them now i don't have that luxury   so yeah i will keep them probably in stock 
settings and when the fans arrive i will   try overclocking them again so this time it 
wasn't the wrong overclock values in my opinion it was uh the heat issue and that was the error 
i was getting apparently so they're i think   comfortable running like this i will leave them 
as they are and just wait for the extra pc fans so it's 2 a.m i couldn't sleep obviously and yeah 
it's it's the heat it's the heat that was causing   the errors so in the end i managed to pinpoint the 
two cards that were getting the most of the heat   and i defined them it's one of them is this one 
galakuro currently i switched its place with   asus now asus is not the worst performing it's 
actually overclocked even by then it's not the   worst performing card and i only overclocked 
the ones that doesn't have any heat issue this one msi juventus 2x and golokuro 
they're getting the most of the heat   so i just left them in stock memory 
clock and reduced their power to 120   just in case in when i'm at work in 
them in the morning if they get overheat   and cause the mining rig to stop i don't want 
that so i just limited those two to 120 watts i will keep them like this if they're gonna 
perform stably until the extra fans arrive   so these are my settings for now 
and i think i'm happy with that so i went on youtube i watched some videos 
about what i should do and i saw a turkish guy   recommending to buy this small card   this is 12 volts in 12 volts out regulator you can 
regulate the output voltage from this small thingy so i have a 220 volts city voltage to 
12 volts 2 amperes dc voltage converter   this adapter i connected this to the input 
and i connected the fans to the output   we connected the adapter to 12 volts as you see 
we can see a light on it now so i will slowly give the fans some voltage now slowly and there we go there's our first 
action and the second one and the others   are coming in there we go voila we have our 
fans working now i'm going to attach these fans to these parts of the support and push the air 
towards the gpus are hopefully final setting   for the mining rig i mean of course i'm going 
to change this wooden bench but other than that   all of our gpus are installed their powers are 
connected so we are i believe good to go i already resetted all of the settings to stock 
settings because i don't want to get   any more load average faults 
hopefully everything's smelling okay everything's lighting up we heard the 
system booting up so let's check our hive os   let's refresh hiveos page boom we have eight 
gpus we have eight gpus oh my god this is   this is where i wanted to be since the beginning 
so exciting and the miner just just got shut down   all right could be the ups i just connected and 
the load value could have exceeded that ups so   i'm gonna have to probably disconnect it okay 
the rig has been running for a couple minutes   stably with no overclocks just power limits 
to 140 watts and uh yeah i think we're good   i just need to buy a surge protection instead of 
a psu i've been using that psu just to protect my   uh desktop pc i will keep using it like that and i 
will buy a surge protection for the rig instead so   it's been one and a half months since i recorded 
my last video work and life got in the way   there has been a few changes in the 
system since i've recorded my last video   not in the system per se but i 
i bought this surge protection   i also bought this wi-fi plug which i 
can track my electrical consumption from   it's great it has a mobile phone app which i can 
track my daily and monthly usage from um i tried   using external risers i bought three of them 
somehow for some reason i couldn't make it work   when i plugged these in the motherboard just 
wouldn't boot up so i gave up on this um   i still haven't connected any keyboards or 
monitors to my motherboard i didn't feel the   need to do so because hiveos is pretty easy and it 
did everything for me so far without having to   need to connect a keyboard or a monitor the rig 
has been pretty consistent the only issues i had   so far were heat related because some of the 
cars can take the heat better than the others   so these are the worst performers that's why i put 
them at like the coolest part of the motherboard   i can say and these are the most durable 
ones so this guy is the worst the asus   this is the worst and the second worst is actually 
a gigabytes three fan model which is insane   but it is what it is sometimes you get 
silicon lottery sometimes you don't   and yeah so it's been one and a half months   yesterday i had my first payout 0.255 ethereum 
which had like nine dollars of transaction fee   which is okay and it's been 45 days 
since i started mining but the reason   i got 0.255 so late it was supposed to be like 
35 days or so uh because i had electrical cuts   i had uh internet cuts we have a dog in 
our apartment which we adopted, a puppy   he just chewed on the cable the ethernet 
cable and one of my mining day was just gone   so these kind of things had me delayed pay out but 
from now on i think it will be pretty consistent   and i will show you my hive os page 
again um in time maybe i can do   a problems and solutions video rather than just 
making the video about setup and stuff so yeah   this is pretty much it and i'm going to upgrade 
this wooden rig chassis to a better metal one in   the future still but i'm too too lazy to do that 
right now maybe after i move back to my hometown   all right let's jump to hive os screen these are my pretty stable overclock values starting from   3070 all the way down to 3060 ti's 3070 has 2.4 
gigahertz memory clock 140 power 140 watts power   you see all the cars are 140 but one of 
them is 130 because this is msi ventus 2x   which is my worst performing card i don't know 
why all of these hash rates are pretty good   but this guy is not acting like the other 
3060s i don't know why i really don't know   it's pretty okay though just five mega hash 
of a loss one card no big deal for me honestly   uh and it's not like going above 120 watts most 
of the times maybe it's the bios of this card   but i don't want to mess things up five mega hash 
of a loss is not that big of a loss for me right   now and yeah the fans are working at 65 up to 100 
now and i set the temperature limit to 68 degrees   which is pretty fine as you can see the asus card 
is operating at 49 degrees which is the first one   as i said and the rest is sitting at around 60 
to 65 67 degrees and i just realized you know   the mining rig is a really good ambient heater 
so i'm using it as an ambient heater right now   i'm not heating up the room with this uh 
natural gas heater the whole room is getting   heated up by this little guy here nice thing 
to keep in your room in the winter times yep   all right guys thank you for your great responses 
for the first video please comment share and like   and keep following i might do some other 
videos crypto related videos and we might   see some subject change in this 
channel okay see you guys have fun MUSIC: Slash Minus – Bioshock
