Since I know we have a lot of Monero mining folks, I wanted to highlight a little build with a unique feature, it is based solely on using AMD CPU and GPUs for mining.
Configuration
Here is how to get mining working in Ubuntu: Monero Mining Performance
Performance
~1600 H/s or faster than 2x Xeon E5-2690 V4's (by about 300H/s)
The key takeaway is that moving to a lower speed slot due to the B350's PCIe configuration and lack of bifurcation did not change the hash rate. Neither did moving from PCIe 3.0 x8 to PCIe 3.0 x16 on the RX 480.
Using a 1.5% pool fee and 0.5% rejected share rate, the earning power (minus electricity) is
Power usage while mining ~340W
Configuration
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700
- Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350-Plus
- GPUs: AMD RX 480 (Gigabyte) and AMD RX 470 (ASUS)
- RAM: 32GB DDR4 (I want it to be usable later) 2x 16GB Patriot Viper 2666
- Chassis: NXZT S340
- PSU: Seasonic 750W
