Radeon RX 560 for mining: Settings, overclocking | Hashrate | Profit (Spike)

Mining farm based on Radeon

The low price of the RX560 allows you to build on their basis home farms from 4-6 video adapters. In total, depending on the manufacturer and the degree of overclocking, the capacity will be about 80-85 Mh / s, which will recoup the investment in 6-8 months of operation.

To build a farm of 6 video cards you will need:

• a powerful 1000 watt power supply unit or a pair of synchronized units of lower power;
• motherboard with the ability to support 6 GPUs (preferably from trusted manufacturers Gigabyte, AshRock, MSI);
• processor suitable for the motherboard;
• 6 Molex risers;
• DDR3 (RAM) 4GB.

For optimal results, you can overclock your GPUs using the MSI Afterburner utility. Also, many miners on Ether reduce power consumption without losing the mining speed (downvolt).

Radeon 560 is a good choice for a “miner” whose financial resources are limited and do not allow buying a super powerful expensive video card. The coins have a high enough price to recoup the costs and come out on a profit after a while.+

Tuning and overclocking

Every miner should know what a farm is, what it is for and how to set it up to improve mining performance.

The last issue requires detailed consideration.

Initial parameters:

1. 4GB Radeon RX 560 graphics card.
2. The mined cryptocurrency is Ethereum.
3. Processor – CPU DualCore Intel Core i3-2100.
4. Motherboard – MB MSI H67MA-E35 / B3.
5. Hard drive – SSD 128 MB.
6. Memory – 8GB DDR3.
7. Power supply unit – 500 W.

Hardware purchase costs are around $ 400 excluding GPU costs. Algorithm of actions:

1. Choosing a mining pool. It is recommended to give preference to services with a small minimum output, for example, you can use ethermine.org .
2. Go to the pool site.
3. Search for settings for the Claymore miner program.
4. Downloading software. When choosing, you should give preference to older versions that are suitable for the Radeon RX video card
5. Enter the folder and search for the start.bat file.
6. Going to the pool site and copying the settings.
7. Making changes to the text document start.bat. The wallet number and miner name are subject to change.
8. Saving and closing the file.
9. Launching the program.

Checking statistics is available on the pool website. After the community receives the first balls, the information is updated, as well as the user’s account. The exact data is displayed after 2-3 hours of mining.

To overclock the Radeon RX 560, it is better to use the Sapphire TRIXX program. Its advantage lies in the safe increase of the equipment hash rate without the risk of damaging the equipment.

The standard RX 560 settings guarantee a hash rate for Ethereum mining of 12-14 MX / s. The miner’s earnings are about $ 7 (as of October 1, 2018). The specified power is not enough to work on solo mining, so it is recommended to use pools and install several GPU bars.
