*** Put your CPUs to use - OcUK mining pool ***

I have a Ryzen 1700 build with no decent GPU, would this be worth doing on just a CPU? Electric is fairly cheap.

Yea, Ryzen chips are pretty efficient at mining

Thank you will try this later

@AiiR Will be interested to see Ryzen hashrate. I was surprised to see my old AMD FX8320 doing as well as my i7 4770K.

My 1700 @ 3.2 does 500h/s on Cryptonight

My Ryzen 1600 gets 500 H/S.

That's really good. I could probably sell both systems and graphics cards, and replace with one ryzen / Vega system for a good upgrade in hash rate.

You don't even need top tier Ryzen, a 1600X will perform just as well as any of the 8 core chips

Followed the guide here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...guide-in-first-post-back-mining-etn.18803113/ and got errors. I would paste them in here but I realised I forgot to take a screenshot.

Is there anything different to do for CPU only mining?

Without seeing the errors - hard to know.

Nothing different to do though.

Even an old 2600K @4.5GHz gets 240H/s...80 per core and only use 3 cores...only get 20 coins a day at present but only costs 30p a day to run i reckon...coins were at 8p few days ago..lower now but they will go back up once ICO coins settle down

Its something for nothing

Will have another go and take a screenshot when I'm home

Ideas?

Using a HD5450 and a Ryzen 1700. Says Nvidia driver missing?

Try changing the address to stratum+tcp://ocukminingpool.com:5555

(also might be worth moving the conversation to https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...guide-in-first-post-back-mining-etn.18803113/)

Ignore the Nvidia driver missing error. You don't have a correct wallet address in your config though

Just set this up on my machine. Created a couple of cpu config files for gaming and none gaming. Gaming, 4 cores can mine. None, it can have all of them.

 

[trawetSluaP]

I to have just set this up but seem to be getting a low hash rate according to other users - 1050H/s with a 1080Ti and a 6850K...

Just bumping this thread as it's well worth joining the pool if you have idol CPU time.

What does this rely on? Is it cpu?

I have a I7 950 at stock speed of 3ghz but I do have a 4ghz profile saved in the bios with a nitro 390 8gb

I also have a go z420 pc that has a Xeon processor st 3.6ghz with a quadro 3000 gpu

Could be tempted to give it a try as something to tinker with

Definitely. I'm don't think your older i7 will be really profitable, but your 390 definitely will be, unless your electricity costs are stupidly high. Unsure about the Xeon, depends how many cores it is and how old. It's essentially from the 3XXX generation right? If so probably worth it but it won't be anywhere near as good as your 390. The quadro is worth finding out about but I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.
