How much WATT do I need?

nimokimoos · Oct 29, 2017

Intel G4400 3.3 GHz - 65W I think
HyperX FURY 4GB DDR4 2133MHz CL14 - ?
GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A LGA1151 - ?
Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB x2 - ?
And maybe will add 1 more GPU in the future...

If you need more information please tell me

That motherboard doesn't support more than one graphics card. With your current config, any quality 400 - 450 watt power supply would be more than enough.

Wolfshadw :

Not only that the GTX 1060 doesn't support SLI either, so 2 of them are useless.

Wolfshadw :

I'm gonna use PCI to PCI x16 raisers
The computer is not for gaming, its for mining, I know it might be not profitable and stuff but Ive already have all those stuff so I just need to get a PSU.

Rogue Leader :

Its not for gaming, its for mining so I think it doesn't matter if it supports SLI or no, each one will work by themselvs in mining, no? correct me if Im wrong...

Rogue Leader · Oct 29, 2017

Thats correct, for mining it doesn't need SLI.

That said do you own this yet? You're spending more money on this than you will ever make back mining with it.

Rogue Leader :

I already have everything exept the second GPU
Ive got myself better PC with better GPU so I have left 1x GTX 1060 6GB that I don't use and wanna mine with it
I wanna get second to make more profit while mining (I can get about ~$1.20+ per day from each card (before electricity cost)

Power, profit, passion! Whats it like after elec cost?
Dude seriously

As I said, after electricity you're going to make nothing.

fredfinks :

I need to know how much Watt I woul'd need please

I will do the profit calculation later, not sure yet about the electricity thing but will get into it later.

Rogue Leader · Oct 29, 2017

nimokimoos :

A good 550w unit will power the whole deal fine.

That said you will definitely use more than $1.20 a day in electricity, again. You will make more money selling these parts on ebay. You are literally wasting money trying to make money.

nimokimoos · Oct 29, 2017

Rogue Leader :

I understand, but can you please tell me how much Watt would a system like this take? (2x1060 and 1 more card in future, I will wait few months / year to new cards come so I can buy 3 of them and sell those that I have now)

I'm not sure about the electricity yet, I will check it a bit later.

Will 550W be fine for 2 GPUs or 3 also?
Thanks btw

Rogue Leader · Oct 29, 2017

If you're going to add a 3rd card I'd give yourself a cushion and get a 750w PSU.

You really are going to spend more money than you will ever make back. Both on hardware and electricity. Sell all the parts now and keep the money.

Heck sell all the parts and buy Bitcoin with it and just sit on the bitcoin and wait for it to appreciate (it will). You will actually make money that way.

nimokimoos :

A reliable 750w, and earn negative $2/day.

To earn money from mining, you need something like this

or this

fredfinks · Oct 29, 2017

Yeah but would a chinese server farm run on a 750w psu?

nimokimoos · Oct 29, 2017

USAFRet :

Is there anything I can do to make it more profitable? like buying other GPU not 1060
And incase electricity was cheap / free will it be profitable?

USAFRet · Oct 29, 2017

nimokimoos :

To make it more profitable?
Invent a time machine, and go back in time to when the difficulty was much less.
But if you have a time machine....

Electricity cost?
Unless you're running a big solar or wind farm, electricity is not "free".
Someone is paying for it.

Rogue Leader · Oct 29, 2017

If electricity was free you would make ~$400 a year. For components that you could probably sell for more than that.

GPUs that Mine better? The AMD RX 470, 480, 570, and 580. You're gonna spend $250-$300 for just ONE.

There is nothing you can do to make it more profitable with the parts you have, there is no such thing as free electric (somebody is paying for it!).

Actually, at 15 cents per Kilowatt for electricity, he would only loose about $13 a month so this might be a cheap way to educate oneself in mining.
Breakeven point is if electricity costs them less the about $0.10 per Kilowatt
