I'm going to buy 6 1080ti @$880/card, what do you think about?

I hope you aren't paying those prices if you live in the USA.... You can still get them for $700 each here. What brand/model are you looking at and where are you buying them?

Aye however those are 2.5+ card slot solutions minus the SC2.  If the SC2 is quiet with the fans spun up (ie, mining) then it may be a good option.

Probably not a bad choice
The name comes up too many times from senior members for it to be terrible

Gentlemen/ladies what do you recommend for a two slot card?  Looking for the quietest/coolest possible combination for a narrower card.

This one decent?  Clocks are not a huge importance in this case.  Thanks

Some people rate them highly
But the evga sc2, gigabyte aorus, and the asus strix appears to be the crowd choices

I am gonna Finally Switch from Zcoin to Sniffdog Auto Miner on HashRefinery
Hope its ends well
Might Actually end up switching back due to High Probability of Price increase of Zcoin but in crypto no body actaully know what will happen
Anyways Already made a big enough profit of holding zcoin and selling and auto selling sometimes
Just hoping auto exchange give comparable Profits
Anyone else using auto exchange please advice

System specs:
6x EVGA 1080ti SC Black
2x 1000w EVGA G3
ASUS z270-P
4GB RAM
G440
SSD-120GB

Power is free (don't mind running them pretty good)
Mining ZCASH using DSTM miner

1. I am trying to find the optimal OC settings for these cards, while stable. I've heard to try and OC each card individually. How can I do this in afterburner and save the profile, so that on a reboot all of the cards use those individual settings? It seems like in afterburner, when you individually OC the cards, the profile does not save for all cards, only one.

2. Does anyone have any OC settings for these cards so I can baseline off of?

3. The 3 GPUS at the end of my rig are a lot hotter than the others. (these cards just spit the hot exhaust above and get sucked into the ones after it) What is the best way to Exhaust some heat away? Put a fan above the rig and exhaust the hot air upwards? Or blow cool air towards the front of the rig(the front of the cards).

Thanks!!



The Ti SC Black edition series is my favorite 1080 and 1080TI. They run perfectly, cool easily and overclock great. When you install Afterburner it will automatically link the GPUs together so that any changes you make will be applied to all of them. Since they are all the same, it will be much easier to overclock them than if you had different models. The Tis usually run ok with +100-+125 on core and +75-+100 mem. I always max out the power draw to 120%, then apply my overclocks. After I find a good setting, I slowly reduce the power limit until my hashrate goes down. No matter the brand, the 1080 chip can run about 2100 core and 4700 on the memory. The Tis can run around 2050 core and 5100 memory. My goal is to slowly apply the overclocks until I can get the card to hit those speeds. Above that, they start to crash.
You have very slow memory clocks. 5400-5600... is usual for  them

I have a FE and an Aorus.  The Aorus has to be in the bottom slot and the FE in the top slot.  The FE runs warmer now than it did when it was the only card in there.  Because of that I have to increase the fan up to 67% or more to keep temps in the low 60s.  It gets pretty loud above that.

For a while was looking to replace it and put something else in there that would run quieter.  Not sure it's worth it.  May just wait for the next GPU to come out from NVidia (volta?) and then replace it with one of those but without a blower style cooler.

The Aorus at stock settings produces about 250 kh/s more than the FE does at stock for reference.  lyra2z

I personally find Gigabyte Aorus series the best for their cooling system and overclock ability.
They use industrial-grade coolers which is very actual for 24/7/365 GPU mining job

So agree ! Just bought one aorus Xtrem edition, damnn it.. this card is just brutal !!
Love this silence, cooling, OC ability, and this look...  Cheesy
