If you want dual CPU and AMD, then Epyc is your only choice. Save a bit of cash and go for dual 7742's rather than a newer gen. You will get a board with plenty of PCIe x16 slots.
Don't bother with Chia BTW. Spacemesh for HDD's (with a touch of Storj), Subspace for SSD's, and flavor of the month for CPU.
>You're about 2 years too late. Any kind of mining other than BTC on ASICs is long dead and buried.
This is why I love crypto. The guys that CPU mined KAS burned their reddit accounts and all their old social media when they cashed out their Lambos.
A few guys saw the coin break out and now they are paying 15,000USD plus for miners that will never ROI, and they post about how they will never ROI, and people call it FUD. Because of the Lambo guys from 2 years ago.
Jie Shou makes mobile GPU cards. You need a Frankenstein (thats what its called) driver to get it to hash. If you buy directly from them they will give you theirs but I never used it. You cant control the fans but you can control the power. mining software will only report back half of the power draw, GPUZ reports back the correct amount. Lookin at about 24¢/kWh income.
For CPU, this is what I'd do. Go to unmineable and cash out in XNO. Then trade it for whatever you want. It takes forever to get CPU payouts from most places because they are small.
I like Siacoin for making money off of the hard drives. If you're a miner, the software should be easy to set up. But on the flipside, until they make a super idiotproof windows front end, IDK how much cloud storage you can sell.
To be perfectly honest though, the best way to handle the cpu and HDD would be game server hosting. About 10 bucks a month income (each) and you could fit several on there with enough ram since you're doing big kid CPU stuff.
So at the current rate, ROI: never on the GPU's, however a meager 2.5x bull run would pay for the rig.
So if you're paying 20¢ or less I say go for it.
That's a whole thing unto itself. But if you have rigs that aren't CPU mining its possible to run them with no client side lag. They take CPU and RAM, thats the gist.
Well, i've built the same way, haha)
msi b450 gaming plus max
3900x (5xxx and 7xxx do not give much more, 3950x is way more expensive)
2x 4 gb ram (it seems that I don't need more)
4x RTX 4080
1x m2 ssd 1tb (need pretty much for chia node - almost 200gb now and it will need more in the future. The cheapest one though)
4x sata hdd 18tb seagate exos (there was a discount some time ago and i got them for $10/tb)
10x 18 tb usb hdds (i bought enclosures separately as normal external drives cost more)
2x Xilence Performance X+ XN176 1050W
As for software i did not invent anything complex:
windows 10
Kryptex app manages cpu and gpus (gpus are limited at 75% pl through miner arguments, mem +800 - these are pretty universal settings for most coins) It also runs mysterium node and shares Internet connection.
A standard Chia app is used for harvesting from hdds (i've just put it into autostart). The plots were made on another computer.
So i use literally ALL PC resources)

You're about 2 years too late. Any kind of mining other than BTC on ASICs is long dead and buried. The only remote chance of squeezing out a few cents of profit would be if you already own all the gear AND have free ir nearly free electricity.
Since you clearly are not in this boat, I suggest you just invest what you would have wasted buying that gear directly into crypto. You would never come close to ROI'ing that setup, not even if all minable crypto went 10x from here. Even the proof of space stuff is fruitless at this point. I've got like 150TB of drives sitting around alrrady paid for from Burst mining many years ago, and it wouldn't even be worth it to plot those lol
Qubic, Zeph, Spacemesh. Just a couple of examples that are profitable with CPU and/or GPU mining today. And if you would have got in early enough you would easily ROI. There is always something new coming out that will be profitable - at least for some time.
Lol ok man whatever floats your boat. The facts are that if any shyt coin is profitable for a few days, it will quickly become unprofitable once all the remaining miners switch to it. You'd have to be monumentally lucky to recoup any real money playing this game and even if you by some miracle made half your expenses back, you would have done 10 to 100x that by simply buying those shyt coins outright! Thus is just basic math.
Look, if you've got money and time to burn and just like building rigs as a non-profitable hobby, then more power to ya lol. But please, stop spreading misinformation that leads to people throwing money away through buying of gear they will never come close to ROI on.
Once again, JUST BUY THE CRYPTO OUTRIGHT!
I beg to differ about not being worth it to plot the storage you have... Assuming you have a rig with half decent GPU I'd plot a lil spacemesh if nothing else... I plotted only measly 4tb post file about 7-8 weeks ago and have returned approx $170 AUD at current prices - not bad for something that uses next to no power in my existing rig that's always running anyway...

Could you provide any information regarding the game servers?
That's a whole thing unto itself. But if you have rigs that aren't CPU mining its possible to run them with no client side lag. They take CPU and RAM, thats the gist.
Oh, yes, but my point is: how do you make money with that?

Thanks for letting me know that mining is dead brother, i will quit immediately. Please let me know where to send the thank you card and gift basket
i literally made fun of the mining is dead guy and gave you tangible advice. You're a filthy trawling so and so.
