    Cant wait for Part two. I'm currently mining intense at 30H/s on a I32120 with on-board video card. Mined 20 coins in the last day. not to bad.. So waiting for part 2 to see how I can make it better. Thank You.

    Personally I would NEVER use a 10 year old Chinese power supply to mine with. Those power supplies are almost always pieces of absolute crap. Not worth the risk of a fire, and they will probably be like 60-70% efficient. Buy a decent EVGA 500 watt unit on Amazon for $30, save yourself money in the long term, and maybe even save your house.

      RandoCrypto *All* power supplies are Chinese. *ALL OF THEM* are made in China. Corsair and XFX too.
      I have rigs with brandless psu's that work since 2014. Also, two xw6600 that crunch away with their original 2008 parts.

    • @wilpacholuk2793
      @wilpacholuk2793 6 лет назад

      I would still update the power supply to something in the 500 - 600w power supply. I have replaced too many inexpensive power supplies in my time.

      usb asic here.. 23 giga hash per 3 watts... it earns 4 cents a day, so I now this rig is nowhere near profitable..
      probably paying more for power then its mining any coin giving the fact the online profitable card nowadays is a gtx 1050 and up (rx 560 equivelent)

    When I finally found the 3rd GPU, and in the end didn't manage to buy it, my wife was actually quite bummed by it. Truth be told, the moment I get that card, the rig is going to leave our apartment, so I think that was the reason she wasn't happy. Still, mining with 2 R9 380s in an open air frame, on a dining table, in a studio apartment without her complaining too much :)

    I'm new to this and I have a question. I noticed that old power supplies seem to have lots of connections to the motherboard with smaller wires for Stuff other than the CPU and ATX motherboard connection. Newer power supplies don't come with the smaller wires. So do you just not connect these other wires?

      They aren't viruses. Your anti virus software will flag ALL mining software. Since mining can eventually damage your hardware, i think that's likely why it gets flagged.

      If you run LGA775 Motherboard with more then 4gb of ddr2 you can run windows 10 no problem, if you run a core 2 quad like the q6600 you will get over 20h/s on XMG and if you run say GTX 750Ti you will get 200h/s on monero.. for say $250 USD you could have a rig that will make $10 USD a day

    pctech of 28 years experience... if your pc is anything but a newer system you will make Nothing, and pay a lot for the power it took.
    example.. say your 10 year old cpu ( JUST.. the cpu... not the motherboard or other power suckers) does a whole 3 hashes per second, and you use 75 watts an hour doing it,.. ALL calculators say you will earn nothing for money, and you will pay
    your electricity provider say 5 cents a kilowatt hour (really cheap its 13 here) you pay 5 cents every 13 hours..
    dont be surprised... I'm on an usb asic that does 23 million hash's a sec at only 2 or 3 watts an hour and this thing only earns 4 fuk'in cents a DAY.

    OR you could get a wife who supports you and mines more than you lol
