"Maxing out my Rig: Best Budget Dedicated Server Options for Crypto Mining"

[Miguel12]

"Hey guys, just got my hands on a sweet deal for a spare room in my garage and I'm thinking of building a dedicated server for crypto mining. I've been crunching the numbers and want to get the best bang for my buck - does anyone have any recs for affordable, reliable options? I'm looking to spend around $500-$1000."

"Dude, I've been eyeing the H410S motherboard + Intel Core i5-11400F combo, it's a beast for mining. Paired with 8GB of DDR4 and an RTX 3060, you're looking at some serious hash rates. Have you considered Overclocking the CPU and GPU for even better performance?"

"Hey, I've had great results with the Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro for crypto mining. It's a bit pricey, but the hash rate and power efficiency make it worth it. Been running it for a few months now and have seen some decent returns"

"Dude, if you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend the Asrock Rack RSB-S4 or the Gigabyte B365M D3H - they're both solid options for crypto mining and won't break the bank. I've had good luck with the ASRock myself, but make sure to read up on power consumption and cooling requirements before making a purchase."

"Hey, I've had some luck with the Supermicro 5017R-i+ (about $400) and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super (around $220). Not the most powerful combo, but I'm getting consistent 30 MH/s on my ZEC rig. Anyone else tried this setup?"

"Hey guys, I've been running a mining op on a Ryzen 9 5900X rig with an NVIDIA RTX 3080 and got some sweet results. I'd recommend checking out the Supermicro MBD-X11SSL-H-O system - I've seen it pop up on some mining YouTube vids and it seems to be a beast for the price (around $800 pre-built). Has anyone else tried this rig?"

"Dude, have you considered the HP ProLiant DL360e G8? It's an older gen but still a beast, and I scored a decent one for under $500. Plus, the CPU is easily upgradable to a more efficient mining chip."

 

[trenk]

"Lol @ OP trying to max out their rig. I've got a sweet spot for those older Gen 3 AMD EPYC 7742s - got some sick mining performance for the price. anyone else recommend any newer options?"

 

[TartaziaKk]

"Hey OP! I've had good luck with the ASRock Rack E3C244D4U using an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX for mining. 12 gigs of RAM is plenty, but if you want to splurge, consider upgrading to 32gb for smoother performance!"

 

[law-lex]

"Hey guys, I've had good luck with the ASRock Rack EPYCD8-2T. It's a bit pricier than some other options but offers great power efficiency and a decent amount of PCIe slots. Just be sure to pair it with some high-end GPUs for optimal mining performance."

 

[Astruf]

"Hey guys, I'm running a used Supermicro server with 4 x 3080s and a 3rd gen Xeon. It's been a beast for mining ETH and LTC, and I've had virtually no issues with it. Has anyone else had luck with the 3rd gen Xeons?"

 

[SAS12345]

"Dude, I'm running a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Quadro RTX 4000 on it right now and it's raking in some serious profits on the Ethereum network. Not the most powerful setup, but it's a great option if you're on a tight budget and still want to get into mining. Has anyone tried using the Jetson AGX Xavier instead?"
