am4 and ryzen 3600 , two sticks of ddr4 - thats your entry point for cpu mining. IMO. older tech just isnt worth it. you get 7khash on ryzen 3600. and then you have an upgrade path to ryzen 5900 if you want
The power rating for the dual power supplies is 720W each. However, I only have one hard drive and am nowhere drawing that much power. The power supplies are also 120VAC. So, I am not really sure but I would estimate about 150-250W continuous for my configuration. Just a guess.
@@kfixit I do wonder what the minimum hashrate would be in order to pull down something substantial. I know that at least one of the miner apps does support CUDA so a graphics card might be worth trying.
It's pointless mining on those old servers to be honest your jus wasting your time and your electricity. Sell them all and buy one modern ryzen system and get 10-20kh i.e 10x or 20x the hashes for probably less watts.

Love these down-to-earth experiments, very informative video!
Thanks. Hope it helps someone else also.

I will start searching for those to try.
Hi, thanks for this really interesting video! How much power does this server need?

The key to Monero mining is cache per core, you ill not do well with intel Xeon or any intel. Ryzen 3900, 5900 are the best for the price.
Use dedicated Nodes (clustering) with ASIC or FPGA cards mate more efficient and power hungry
Yessir, consider a small one for a future project!
Hmmm. Worth trying. Thanks!
Monero doesn't have ASICs. CPU only.
Yeah not for Monero
EPYC is the Key 😉
Those are nice processors.
@@kfixitcertainly not nice to your wallet
Tried something similar and it wasn't worth it for me either.
Had to give it a try though.

Probably cost more in electricity
Absolutely did.
@@kfixit Profitability can be greatly improved by mining to the decentralized p2pool and taking advantage of the xmrvsbeast hashrate raffle.

C’mon man.. you wasting your time money and power… Just buy the coin if you want it that bad
hahaha useless
LOL. Agree!
crypto mining on a cpu is never a good idea, let alone on a $50 machine. funny to see this being tried though
It's a good idea if you have idle compute and cheap electricity (for example mining with your own solar).
Monero is designed for CPUs, my $275 computers are over ten times as fast though 😂
