what's going on everyone and welcome to the Rabid Mining youtube channel and what if i told you we
have been overclocking our gpus all wrong i know what you guys are thinking now seriously hear me
out first you know you're gonna want to hear this with ethereum moving to pos obviously things are
changing and in order to survive everything that's happening we're gonna have to change our setups
and the way we do mine things are definitely changing now depending who does see this video
we're probably gonna see new overclocking videos coming out sometime soon so you heard
it here first so this is how we currently kind of overclock our gpus we grab our gpu
we throw it into our rig we punch in some overclock settings or types of numbers in
on our keyboard do some clicks with the mouse depending on the operating system you are using
so every algorithm is slightly different some are memory based some are core based some require a
little bit of both or less of both you never know and then in the mix between them all you require
more or less power so once we finally get some tweaking whether it's setting the power limit or
an absolute core clock we then get our hash rates based on what everyone else is getting for hash
rates when you search on youtube or the internet and on the channel here you guys who follow me do
know that i try to shoot for a nice high hash to watt ratios to find the best mining efficiencies
what that means is you are mining you know the highest possible way and using the least amount
of power possible as a crypto miner electricity is your largest bill so the more you can mitigate
that the more profits you will be getting so it's time to start thinking outside the box i want to
bring a cpu in this mix just to use as a showcase so you guys kind of get an idea what i'm talking
about and there's other cpu miners out there which still you know disagree with the way i'd like to
do my overclocking that's entirely okay you know depending on your power price and everything
everyone has a different opinion here we have a ryzen 3900x its base clock is 3.8 gigahertz and it
can boost up to 4.6 now to everyone that follows the channel i like to stay at the base clock range
so 3.8 and then tweak my voltages from there and depending on the algorithm you are mining you can
be at one volt you could drop that 0.97 or 0.95 and your full system at the wall is a lot more
efficient than people that like to run upwards past this base clock into the boost range of 4.2
4.4 4.5 and using a lot more volts in order to do so xmr for example you can boost this up you know
4.2 to 4.3 and a 3900 x can grant you over 15 000 hashes on xmr but you're doing so at about
240 watts that is your full system motherboard and everything now using my settings you drop to about
13 300 hashes but you're only using 109 watts less than 50 percent less power than boosting it up for
hardly any hash rate boost that is your highest hash to watt ratio and grants you
a lower electricity cost and you're maintaining decent profits now i also made on a 3060 this is
what we're going to do tests here we did all this live in a live stream a few weeks back testing my
3060 v2 ever since the lhr unlock and we made flux more efficient than ethereum as well as even ergo
so let's have a look here 28.63 souls at 83.4 watts at the wall this is you know absolute gpu
power being used only 83 watts and here we can see ethereum here was 112 watts ergo was 99 this was
giving us a hash to sole ratio of 0.349 so i do want to get rid of everything here except for flux
okay so now we only have flux listed here for our 30 60 light hash rate now we can see the 30 60
based on what to mine now these numbers aren't a hundred percent accurate you're gonna have slight
variant differences and also depends on your overclock settings but it's telling us 36 souls
it's saying hashes but this is souls for 140 watts if we calculate that we can see flux is making us
58 cents before power and 24 cents after power now that's 36 souls and i know i'm dropping this
down to 28 souls you're like well that's too much of a hash rate drop that is not worth it at all
but if we actually put in our 83 watts here at 10 cents per kilowatt hour look at this we're
at 58 cents before power and only 24 cents after power we calculate this now we are actually making
25 cents so we're making more pow more profit now after power because we dropped the hash rate down
but our power consumption is so much lower as well all right so now most people don't have 10 cents
per kilowatt hour these days people in europe have a lot more myself personally with everything going
on i'm at 16. cents here so i'm gonna calculate that at the current profitability and it makes
zero sense we are one cent profitable right now to mine flux but would i mine flux for one cent
no i would probably just shut my rigs off if flux was my only coin i could mine
in the current market my rigs would be off right now but we can see we're making one cent
after power at well it's saying 17 but it's 16.7 so we're gonna change these numbers
around again 228 souls actually it's 28.6 sol so i kind of messed up already at 83 watts and
at the current price right now with these at 16.7 or so we're at 12 cents so we're up 11 more
cents obviously we're still not very profitable but you can see how running highest efficiency
does drop your ha or does drop your power consumption used and you are getting more
profits in doing so now i know a lot of people can't really justify losing hash rates or anything
but let's take a look at some other settings i did so the 3060 i did pull out 120.6 mega hash on ergo
for only 99 watts ravencoin 22.22 mega hash for 120 watts what to mine is telling us about 140
watts for 22 so we saved a little bit here dropping that down and then we got ethereum
here at 47.6 mega hash at 112 watts at the wall for a hash to water a hash to megawatt of 0.42
now we can tweak that a little bit more we can see 42.8 mega hash here for only 100 watts we have
slightly more efficiency but it's not really that much so you know unless you're spending expensive
amounts on power you won't really notice this but we are only 100 watts so what does that mean
that means on a 10 by 30 60 rig you are saving about 120 watts which is another full gpu so you
could throw 11 on here still save 2 watts based on using uh you know 10 card rig at these settings so
efficiency does add up the more and more gpus you do have and when you run it that way you save more
power to the power company which makes it more profitable for yourself so there we have it guys
so i do plan on going through all my gpus i have a bunch of 3060 ti non-lhrs i got a 3070 not lhr
3080 not lhr we got 30 90 here obviously it's not lhr but i want to go through all these coins as
well as other coins and tweak up that hash to watt ratio i have no issues dropping that hash rate
if it's saving me that much more in power and peaking up that hash to watt ratio we are going to
have to change the way we mine if you want to make it through this bear run the end of ethereum mark
is ultimately going to be worse than any previous bear run or krypto winter that we have ever had in
the past things are dramatically changing and we just got to change the way we overclock our gpus
it's all going to come down to efficiency you can do some other little tricks too atx power supplies
most server power supplies peak efficiency is in that 50 mark so try to run at 50 percent of all
your power supplies or at least as close to it as you can remember every psu does differ some
power server power supplies do utilize a higher percentage like 70 75 to hit that peak range so
make sure you check the manual and see if yours is one of those but you are going to try to want to
run it as close to the peak efficiency range as possible because that will drop your power used
at the wall and that's all that the power company cares about is the power you're using
at the wall thank you for watching this video if you have any questions please let me know
in the comments below i will see you on the next one Rabid out thank you for watching my video
and if you haven't seen one of these be sure to check them out and if you've already seen them
maybe you missed some might have to watch it one more time and if you just let it play in the
background that's all right as well i do try to live stream every weekend as well as every couple
days during the week so be sure to be subscribed so you don't miss that as always have a great day
