Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the AMD Threadripper 3970X?
The AMD Threadripper 3970X (CPU) can mine 8 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including EPIC-RandomX, Monero, Dagger, Etica (RandX). Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the AMD Threadripper 3970X for mining?
Profitability of the AMD Threadripper 3970X depends on the coin, its network difficulty, the coin price, your electricity cost and pool fees. BackPoW ranks every mineable coin by daily, monthly and annual profit so you can pick the best target.
What is the best coin to mine with the AMD Threadripper 3970X?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the AMD Threadripper 3970X is EPIC-RandomX (EPIC), at about $1.19/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the AMD Threadripper 3970X solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the AMD Threadripper 3970X's solo block-hit probability per coin using a Poisson model based on live network hashrate, so you can gauge your realistic chance of finding a block.
How long would the AMD Threadripper 3970X take to solo mine one EPIC-RandomX block?
About one EPIC-RandomX (EPIC) block every 9.7 h on average at the AMD Threadripper 3970X's rated hashrate, using EPIC-RandomX's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
What is the breakeven electricity rate for the AMD Threadripper 3970X?
The AMD Threadripper 3970X breaks even at approximately 0.1769 USD/kWh. If your electricity tariff is below this threshold, mining is profitable at current coin prices and network difficulty. Above this rate, power costs exceed daily revenue and the miner operates at a loss. BackPoW recalculates this figure every update.
