What's an electricity consumption for 280x and 290x?
About 240w for an 280x while mining
About 360w for an 290x.
Thank you
BTW that's a lot of noise and heat. IMO it'd easier to buy'em.
Yes,blake is not really the best mining algo in 2016.
Cpu's heat is quite high and also power consumption.
Will mine for a while, but,if price will not reach at least 2 usd like eth,will switch again to eth. Eth is less noise/heat and very low power consumption compared with decred testnet.
I'm mining eth with fan 40% and 65c temperature.
When i run cgminer for decred, my fan goes up to 70%-75% and temperature are over 70 c.
Not a good optimization.
Probably is better to buy. Will see...
