Do you have any other tips or tricks for how to reduce your power consumption? Please leave them down here in the comments! :) Thanks for watching and don't forget to check out Red Fox Crypto's video: ua-cam.com/video/EViL3ZClwU8/v-deo.html
Besides underclocking and undervolting, you can also disable Hyperthreading/SMT and disable unnecessary cores directly in the bios in order to replicate a lower wattage CPU. Useful given the rarity and cost of lower wattage CPUs due to demand.
Yes, and some motherboard don't have support (at least officialy) for some low power CPUs. They are better optimized at full speed to not go higher in watts, but in idle they aren't that different. What I also do, is disable Turbo, that way you avoid those spikes in consumption. You can do it from BIOS, or in Windows setting the CPU max state at 99%.
I was actually look for a video like this😃😃got an extra rx 580. Worried about my psu. Now its all clear. Thank u seb 🥰. Keep going. Support from India, Kerala.
I ran 220V to a sub panel to get rid of a buddy's use of extension cords all over the house plugged into 120 outlets. I also sold him some power distribution unit strips (PDUs) that monitor the overall power used and power used by EACH plug. 2 exact same computers tested shown that each actually used different power levels over time. So purchasing expensive professional PDU strips to monitor power use by each rig is not a bad idea. Also, you can remote control each plug also.
Thanks for the video, Sebs. I think is important that everyone to calculate what is the cost of increasing, for example, 1 Watt/day x 1 month and see if this give a better hashrate. Then, compare with the Mining profitablity in MH/s/USD per day. Today is, 0.0594 USD. ( ETH Minnig).
Another great video by Sebs Fintech. I always learn something new or least get inspired with new ideas. I have made some silly mistakes with my PSU purchases, but No More of that! 🤣
The sweet spot for the Platinum HP 1200 watt PSU's is between 25-50% capacity. That's the range they're 94 % efficient in. But pushing them to 80% still keeps it close to 92% efficient.
Hi, I like the way you explain, very friendly. one suggestion please, reduce the background music little lower, some times it is very difficult to catch your words.
I think you can reduce the power consumption of the cpu in Windows. You go to power saving then advanced. You can turn down the amount of watts the cpu uses, I did this to avoid overheating when my fan wasn't working well.
Some mining software report an "efficiency" (hashrate per W) value for each card. Is there any table or guide regarding how much efficiency should you try to get from each card model? It would help me know if I'm in the ballpark of the average good values that my cards can get or if should keep tunning them.
I have been trying for a while now to explain why you should look mostly at increasing your efficiency when mining, unless you get free electricity. There is little point in increase hashrate if you are only giving your profits to the electricity companies.
Now in these times this is even more important. My electric price has first gone up by 33%, then just now like 50% more. It's barely profitable for me to mine at all right now. My last three month was electric bills in 7000 SEK per month ($780) , and I'm living in an apartment. Sweden doesn't have that good prices on electric anymore. January and beyond, if I continue mining should be something 10000-14000 SEK ($1350) a month.
sice day one on platinum certified...maybe windows power plan settings to put on power saver can reduce few watt..i already have pentium g, 8gb single slot and ssd..minimum
Thanks for the great tips! Always learning from this community. So if I understand what you say about psu gold and other standards, what it's said about HiveOS not showing true wattage, is not completely true. The OS may display really true GPU wattage, but because of the PSU efficiency (or lack of it) , what we see at the wall is other truth! GPU wattage + PSU inefficient wattage = Wattage at the wall. What do you think?
I would advise you to get a plug power monitor on Amazon and measure how much your whole system is pulling. Plug your power supply in there and then make sure your average is less than 80% of your psu rating.
This is very interesting for me. I live in the UK and I pay £0.17 / $0.22 kWh. The cost of GPU's are still massive and I wonder if it would be worth it.
This was very informative. I wasn’t really thinking about that initially when I started mining. 3060x3 plus a 3060ti it gives about 9.00 on Ethereum at 450watts. Can anyone tell me if that’s pretty good? Thanks Next I am making an raven coin rig with 580 4gb cards.
In order to answer your question, you need to look the total power consumption AT THE WALL. IM sure is more than 450 , what is your electricity cost, and how many MH/s are you getting in each card.
I took my 6800 xt off my rig and put it in my gaming pc. Problem I'm having is I can't get msi afterburner to lower the power more than 15%. Anyone know how to resolve this? Also, so running 50% load on a psu is the most efficient?
PSU efficiency ratings are not always to be trusted. Gamers Nexus has addressed this several times. Maybe you can compare the ratings within one brand but even that is suspect. Trying to compare efficiency ratings between brands is nearly futile.
1. Run you power supplies at peak efficiency load instead of maximum load 2. Find the most efficient overclock and power limit settings instead of maximizing hashrate 3. Underclock your CPU to reduce overall power draw of the mining rig Literally 3 of the 5 tips in this videos are not "just buy energy efficient products".

@@SebsFinTechChannel No doubt!
I just enabled eco mode for my cpu in bios to cap it at 35w automatically

Great in-depth video, Sebs. You got yourself a new subscriber 👍🏼
The voltage stays the same. It is the current that changes that changes power.
Some mining software report an "efficiency" (hashrate per W) value for each card. Is there any table or guide regarding how much efficiency should you try to get from each card model? It would help me know if I'm in the ballpark of the average good values that my cards can get or if should keep tunning them.
You are awesome Seb 🤘🤘🔥🔥 Merry Christmas from my family to yours
Merry Christmas MC, thanks for stopping by :)
MRS PATRICIAA YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT CONCERNING MY PROFITS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE DRIVING FACTOR IN MY LIFE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I think also some algorithms are more energy efficient - they also produce less heat.

Seb is super tall or the roof in that room is sitting on his head
pro tip, corsair power supplies are rated to run at the advertised powerrating at 50 degrees celsius... Most others are not though...
Brilliant sebs.. think i watched the video you are talking about 😎 i need to do that core locking. Back to the video.. cheers sebs
Cool glad you liked it! Enjoy the video :)
Nice, I have same Corsair rm1000x on 230V, and im running on 670 watts.
Great topic, Seb!
Merry Christmas Seb!
Bro enough with the warnings. Solid video as always though!
If is to build a rigg right now that's going to do verry well after pos, what gpu-s would u buy?
nice nice,,, this answer someone mining rigs, his power draw on the wall is like crazy, because he use 4 x rm850x for 10 1660s and a rx580, lol
Hi Seb cool video bro 😎
Glad you liked it! :)
sice day one on platinum certified...maybe windows power plan settings to put on power saver can reduce few watt..i already have pentium g, 8gb single slot and ssd..minimum
Thanks
Whats about solar panels for powering the mining rig . 550 watts of each panels x 20 panels

Sebs to 100k subs soon
Fingers crossed :) Thanks for being so early to the video
Hey Seb, I gotta favor to ask you please help me out.
I got 2 x 3060 Ti & 1 x 3070, both LHR. Is 850 Watts Gold PSU good enough for this?
I would advise you to get a plug power monitor on Amazon and measure how much your whole system is pulling. Plug your power supply in there and then make sure your average is less than 80% of your psu rating.

17p ?! How? Where exactly? In my area over 20p for years. Atm 25p.
my 1050tis doesnt show efficiency and power draw in miner. any way i can fix it?
But how can I find out the efficiency of my server power supply?
This was very informative. I wasn’t really thinking about that initially when I started mining.
3060x3 plus a 3060ti it gives about 9.00 on Ethereum at 450watts. Can anyone tell me if that’s pretty good? Thanks
Next I am making an raven coin rig with 580 4gb cards.

Power supplies do not pull more volts from the wall, they pull more amps.
I didn’t say volts I said watts
@@SebsFinTechChannel Sorry Seb. At 6:12 it sure sounded like volts. My apology.
Super bro
your videos are great!!! Butttt, please clean up your room, My OCD kicks in everytime i watch one of your videos.
👍
Cool
👍 enjoy
Modern cpus cannot overheat and die, they throttle their performance if they are getting too hot.
Bro are you like 208 cm tall wth
25 comments already... Damn 26th

Ma boi...
Hello Seb
Hello! :)
There's a fake red panda miner account commenting on his channel too, and the fake account guy can delete comments.
background music very annoying Sir
....... I was hoping for some good info not just buy energy efficient products that's kinda obvious
1. Run you power supplies at peak efficiency load instead of maximum load
2. Find the most efficient overclock and power limit settings instead of maximizing hashrate
3. Underclock your CPU to reduce overall power draw of the mining rig
Literally 3 of the 5 tips in this videos are not "just buy energy efficient products".
@@SebsFinTechChannel watched it twice buy energy efficient psu buy energy efficient gpu adjust clock. Guess I've missed something.
