hey everyone welcome back to another mining chamber video in today's video we are going
to be building the 5700 xt mining rig we just recently got six of the sapphire nitro plus
model so we're going to be putting it together in this video and then we're also going to discuss
how much this mining would cost so all the hardware included in the mining rig and then
also how much money can it make for you and how much hash rate are you expected to get
and how much watts is it going to use from the wall and then we will also briefly cover topics
like the bios modding and then overclocking we did do a video on the 5700 xt where we covered
everything in detail so bios modding step by step overclocking and what you should do
if it keeps crashing and everything like that so we won't be going too deep in that since you
can just watch that other video which we will leave in the descriptions below but if you do
have any questions please leave it in the comment sections below or you can feel free to join us
in our discord server and chat with us there so thank you guys and we hope you enjoyed the video
before we build the mining rig let's first calculate how much money it costs us to build
this mining rig and then we can evaluate when we will make our investment back and dive into the
profits of the mining rig later on all of these prices will be evaluated in us dollars first we
will start with the gpus we were able to get a really nice deal on the gpus we got them
refurbished from canada new egg for 475 canadian each plus the tax will add up to around 500
canadian when we transfer that to usd then it comes out to around 380 dollars
so for six gpus we were able to get them for a total of 2 280 us dollars as for the risers we are
using the ubit risers which we got the six pack for forty dollars the motherboard we are using is
a biostar tb250 btc pro we got that off of amazon for 55 dollars and we are using the intel celeron
g3 930 cpu and one stick of eight gigabyte ram which both costed for a total of sixty dollars
as for the storage we are just using 120 gigabyte ssd that we got for 15 but eventually we might end
up changing it and then switching it to a linux based mining system that runs off of a usb thumb
drive for our mining frame we are using a 6 gpu vetter frame which we graciously got from red
panda mining he sent us a couple of them a while back and we really appreciate him for doing it
so please subscribe to his channel if you haven't yet he releases a video every day and he releases
great content that you can benefit from now for the psu it was the hardest part to get
since all the prices i've got pretty high but we are extremely lucky and grateful because one of
our discord members eric was kind enough to sell us a p2 1200 watts psu for only 110 us dollars
usually these tend to cost almost 300 new so that helped us to save a good amount of dollars on the
mining grid thank you again if you're watching this video we also have a couple of splitters
that go with the power supply that we received from nerdgears.com and we do recommend you to
get them from there they offer them at a really good price for only two dollars per splitter and
since we are using nine of them we will round up the cost to twenty dollars for the splitters
as for the cooling and aesthetics we are using the deep cool fans rgb which will complement
the look of the build really nicely we were able to get the 5 pack for only 35
now after adding up all the hardware the total cost comes out to two thousand six hundred
fifteen dollars so if you are looking to build a similar mining rig just remember that the prices
may vary we were able to get a couple of nice deals which saved us a good amount of dollars
but if you would have to buy it brand new for every part then the bill will most
likely be around three thousand dollars to three thousand five hundred dollars
now let's run the time lapse of building the mining rig and then we will bring to
attention important information that we think you should know
if you're building a 5700 xt mining rig with very similar parts
so
okay guys so now we finish the build but there's a couple of things we think it's worth mentioning
to guide you when you build a similar mining rig so the first thing is if you are using the
same motherboard make sure to power the molex ports on the motherboard itself because it is
what provides power to the pcie slots and also always make sure to install
the latest drivers for your motherboard and also flash the bios if it is outdated you
can find more information about this on the motherboard support and drivers page
for powering the gpus what i usually like to do is plug in a splitter and two risers and a splitter
in both eight pins of the gpu if you have a two eight pin model if your power supply has enough
connections that you end up not needing a splitter for each gpu then that is great we will make
a video soon to get in depth about power supply connections and how to connect everything together
and then the last thing we will install the gpus one by one so we can bios mod them first so as you
can see here in the build we didn't install all of them we just installed one gpu we kept everything
else disconnected as of now and then we'll just keep bios modding and saving the original bios
and then move on to the next card we will cover that more later on once we reach that section
so now we will plug in the usb stick that we will use to install windows 10 on our miner to make a
bootable usb for windows 10 you just need to use the media creation tool or just burn a windows 10
image on the stick and then like that you can just install windows and do all the setup that you need
so the first thing you need to do once you have it installed is go through the optimization steps
that we covered in one of our videos which was the top five
must-do tips for windows 10 mining we will leave the link for that video in our descriptions below
after finishing the optimizations we will install the required applications to start modding our
gpus we won't be going in depth about this here since we did cover it fully in our last video
where we went over the 5700 xt profitability bios modding and overclocking
so in this video we will just mention important things to keep in mind when bios modding more
than one gpu the first thing you want to make sure you do is to save the original bios of each gpu
accompanied by a unique identifier to that specific gpu it can be either the
last four digits of the serial number or if you choose to label your gpus with a sticker
where you can stick it on the back plate of the gpu whatever method you choose will work as long
as you can match the original bias that you save to the gpu in our example we will be using the
serial number of the gpus that can be found in the bottom of the sapphire nitro plus model without
bios modding we were getting around 52 mega hash and using 145 watts off the wall per card so now
after bios modding we should be getting around 55 mega hash and around 130 watts off the wall
now after setting up all the bios mods what we need to do next is plug in every
gpu and then run the overclocks and see if it's stable on all of them so before that
let's first cable manage the rig and then we can get started with the overclocking
we had to troubleshoot the mining rig for a little while to figure out what overclocked settings are
stable and now we finally got almost all the gpus table at around 725 to 800 millivolts and 1780 to
1800 memory frequency and then 1300 core clock and only one of the gpus refuses to abide any
overclocks it shows that it is set at millivolts like the other gpus but it keeps consuming
more than 725 it keeps consuming around 1150 millivolts so i will need to troubleshoot
that one further but as of now we know that it is taking more watts than it should be
now let's see the numbers we will get in phoenix minor so we are averaging around 55 megahertz per
gpu we have a total of around 330 megahertz and we are using 130 235 watts average per gpu but that
one gpu that is having troubles overclocking and it's giving us 53 mega hash and it is consuming
about 100 watts extra than the other cars so the total system off the wall is currently reporting
at 950 watts total but after we get the gpu fixed up we will be able to get the entire system watts
to around 860 to 880 watts so now let's take these values to what to mine.com and see how are the
returns looking for this mining rig okay everyone so now we are on the what to mind.com calculator
and we're looking here at the ethereum coin it is one of the most popular coins to mine with the
5700 xt the first one being ethereum classic but ethereum classic has been having troubles lately
so we will just stick for ethereum for now so we went ahead and put in the 330
mega hash that we can make from this mining rig and then the 880 watts that it takes to run it
and as well as the electricity of 0.1 which is 10 cents per kilowatt hour so we can go ahead
and hit calculate and then we will be able to see how much money we can make with this
mining rig so as we can see here we are able to make 14 dollars and 54 cents every day that's
profits after the electricity cost of 10 cents per kilowatt hour and then we can also see here that
in one month we will be able to make 436 dollars profit or 499 dollars in total without electricity
cost so in general looking at these numbers you can see that it has a really good return
even though the electricity cost is at 10 cents it still can make your money back in less than a year
so in one year you're predicted to make six thousand dollars if ethereum sticks to this
price and if ethereum price does go higher then your return will be a lot quicker but as of now
definitely really good numbers it's impressive how much this mining rig can make back it is more on
the pricey end this mining rig is not the cheaper ones it's not a budget mining rig but it is one of
the good options out there that i do recommend for people to build if you are looking into building
a mining rig if you have any questions regarding this mining rig or anything we missed please let
us know in the comment sections and we are also planning to switch this mining rig to a linux
based mining operating system because we noticed that in windows 10 it was having too much trouble
it was unstable and it took a while to get it set so whenever we end up switching to one or deciding
for which one we should switch we will let you guys know and then hopefully we can go through
it together and be able to guide you guys on how to switch your mining rig to a different operating
system thank you guys for watching this video if you enjoyed this video please leave a thumbs
