This is just a feel-good number but nevertheless seems like it would be high enough to earn some serious ZEC. Does anyone reading have a rig this powerful and if so what is it built from? Perhaps you’ll need several to hit that rate. ---

Perhaps you’ll need several to hit that rate. about 5 rigs with 6 470’s each rig add in some i7s or e3 xeons and you can get a bit more but this could all change after a new miner is released [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/5/5/55149ba2200a9d4d9dbbc9bddb66e677ec03ab66.jpeg "Update: Genoil v 0.4.2 ZCash Miner w/ 2 SilentArmy Instances & Supporting More AMD GPU's") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCTmH3Ghrts) [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/f/b/fbdfca24f303e82e16f7877c28457385868c530b.jpeg "SILENTARMY ZCash AMD Solver 40 Sols/s RX480/39 RX470!

Here is a farm set up running zogminer with silentarmy kernel with 5kH/s. You can run two zogminer’s per card so you can estimate costs based on the number of workers. Each card should supply two workers. In this example a rack should be running about 4-5 cards for that number. I am not sure of the hardware setup for their racks.

ive been meaning to test zogminer out in ubuntu, im going to install it and give it a go in the next day on this rig 4-5 cards per rack? whats the total # cards they are using? ---

I’m not exactly sure what cards are on each rack, probably many different ones, but if you use an estimate of 38H/s on an rx480 with zog you can kind of estimate what you could do on a 5-6 card rig. Also zog will reflect any improvements made in kernels since it is open source. The silentarmy kernel dev says he can hit 100H/s on one rx480, but i am not sure how optimistic that is ---

what does zog give on modded 470? i wanted to try it out yesterday but kept getting stuck up with other stuff and I need to reinstall ubuntu on this thing and the amd drivers etc… looking forward to 100 on 480 8g claymore says he thinks he can get at least 100 on a 390 ---

> [@cryptomined](#): > > what does zog give on modded 470? Not sure about modded but I think i’ve heard reports of it doing about the same as a 480. I have only tested 480’s in my lab so I’m not sure. ---

coool, yeah from my experience there really is no difference in speeds between 470 and 480, even 4g vs 8g ---

and to run zog is this the correct command ./src/zcash-miner -G -stratum=“[eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333](http://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333)” -user=t-addrhere -password=x will that work on flypool if I put my actual t-addr in t-addrhere ? ---

sounds like buying a few RX 480’s would be a good starting point. what about motherboard, cpu, ram, etc? Just any mid to high end mobo and cpu (i7) with 16+ gigs of memory?
