What's going on guys? It is Bernardo and yes, I have the ThinkStation P620.
Powered by the AMD thread ripper pro processor. I think last video that we did together on this
particular machine we did a unboxing slash review on it. And today is all about setting
it up to mind some cryptocurrency. Now this machine is actually housing the NVIDIA Quadro
RTX 6000 24 gigs graphics card, and I'm super excited to see how big of a hash rate I could
get with that particular graphics card. Now the software that I'm going to use to mine
cryptocurrency is Phoenix miner, so I need to do a couple of things on to Windows 10 to get that up
and running. So let's get started. Now the first thing that I like to do is go inside power options
and make sure that you edit the power options to never never you don't want the display to turn
off and you don't want the computer to go asleep. That's a no no. Right so make sure it's set up to
never never. The next thing that we need to do is we need to disable Windows updates because
you don't want to mine cryptocurrency and then the machine needs to push out a update when it
pushes out windows updates what's going to happen it's going to restart the machine and kill your,
your services for mining your cryptocurrency you don't want that. So we are going to type in
services. We're going to get into that. And I'm going to open this guy up and let's go all the
way to the bottom. And we need to locate Windows Update. I'm going to right click on it and I'm
going to go to properties and automatically set to manual but I'm going to basically set to disable
and apply it okay and we're good to go. Now another thing that I like to do is I'm going
to do a Windows + I and within Windows + I like to go to Update and Security
and within the Windows Update section I like to pause it even though you killed
the Windows service I still like to just pause it just for the hell of it. Also like to go inside
advanced options and in here just basically go to the last one which would be November
20th. A couple of proactive tips that I like to do personally normally need to do that. Once you
disable the Windows Update Services, it shouldn't be a problem. And then Windows Defender basically
identifies almost all the mining software to be viruses. So we need to exclude it so I'm going
to plug in my USB with all the software that I like to use to mine cryptocurrency so let's
plug it into one of the 3.2 USB ports in the front panel. And this is the one that I'm going to use.
I am gonna copy this name right here. I'm going to create a folder on the desktop.
Go to New Folder. I'm going to paste that awesome. And I'm going to drag this folder into there.
But before I do that, I'm going to basically tell Windows Defender that this folder this location
where this folder should not be scan, it's safe to go right so we are going to do Windows + I again.
And within here let's go to updates and security. And within Update Security. We are going to go to
Windows Security. We're going to go inside the virus and threat protection. And we want to go
inside the section that says virus and threat protection settings click on manage settings.
And we want to go inside the section that says exclusion and click on add or remove.
Click Add an exclusion and we want to do a folder so we're going to close that up. Close this up
in that folder right there. I'm going to drag it and drop it in here.
It's going to copy all that information. Awesome. So the last thing that I need to do is open up
that batch file. So let's open here this batch file right here starts underscore minor. I need
to right click on it. I'm going to edit and a couple of things I need to do is make sure that
I'm using the correct pool. I assigned my wallet address which is already set up and the only thing
that I need to do is assign a name to my worker. So now for the name I'm going to call it P620.
I'm going to do a CTRL + S to save it Alright, so I'm going to shut down the machine right now.
I'm going to relocate it somewhere else so I can start the batch file so I can start mining.
So let's get into that. So I move the P 620 to another location, location where there's
a AC unit running 24/7 to keep it nice and cool. The first thing that I'm going to do
is I'm going to launch my GPU Z software. I'm going to hit yes on the User Account Control.
And the reason why I'm launching this up is because this little app
has like a Sensor tab. And it gives me a nice overview of the GPU temperature, memory clock
and GPU clock which is something that I want to keep track of when I am mining cryptocurrency.
So I'm going to double click on my phoenix miner software going here and let's double click on it.
I'm going to hit allow access here.
Close that. And right now it looks like it picked up the GPU 1, 28 Celsius, 17 Watts,
GPU powers around 17.1 Watt. It doesn't look like I've received any errors, which is a big you know
huge thing. It's picking up some of the jobs it just found a job. The difficulty is around 8645
nh and right now it's running his first job so we're going to let this run a follow up in a
week or two and let you know how much I made with mining cryptocurrency on the ThinkStation P620.
Which actually has the Quadro RTX 6000 24 Gig graphics card. Right now we are pulling around 53
hash rate wow 53.. oww that's awesome GPU clock speed right now is 1875, GPU temperatures around
71.8 Celsius. Pretty excited about this fan speed is only 46 to 47 RPMs on the fan speed is between
says 17 is already bumped up to 1711 RPM wow I can't. I'm pretty excited to see how well it works
in a week or so. So hopefully you guys tune in and I catch you guys on the next one. Peace out.
