CRY102C GPU Crypto Rig - GPU Optimization, Overclocks & Monitoring
With your new Crypto rig online, it is now time to optimize the GPU card configurations to maximize the mining rate and minimize the electrical consumption to increase your profitability.
GPU overclock settings that are incorrect also cause the GPU’s to throw errors and kick your mining rig offline or to reboot. And if the rig is not running, it is not earning you a return. We will also dive deeper into HiveOS so you can remotely control your mining rig from any PC or directly from your phone. This allows you to make changes to configurations on the fly to compensate for overclocking or in some cases overheating issues.
The class will end with a discussion on safe places to setup your rig at home as these rigs generate a lot of heat requiring you to plan ahead.
