Hello guys. I have a problem with building rig with 6 1080 Ti on Motherboard Asus prime H270 plus.
Could you please give me a hand with it.

Whats the issue?

I got 3 1080ti (palit super jetstream) and the difference in temp is sometimes more then 10°C between the cards. I'm using a frame built for 6 cards and im only using 3 so i got a lot of space between each card. Also I connect the screen to the motherboard and not the card. Anyone else who have the same experience?

As of now when mining zen the temps are as follows:

Gpu1=68
Gpu2=62
Gpu3=58

I'm not sure the actual reason but gpu1 always seems to run hotter than the rest.

The hashrate doesn't change whether my memory is set to 0, -500, -1000, -2000, etc so why -500?

It lowers your power consumption while costing you no loss in hashing power. I doubt your card will actually be running at -2000 if you set it to that...

6 cards/2 850W PSUs is a good balance and about the recommended limit per 15A circuit.

2psu per 8 1080 ti rig
Evga 1000 g3 and some 1800 watt from aliexpress
The one from ali makes more noise,since it's fan have no speed control,but they both are good psus


Aren't you worried about the nonbrand 1800W PSU ? You can afford 1080ti and can't afford decent PSU ? Isn't it like buying nice sportscar and installing the oldest and ugliest rims and tyres ?

My settings for 1080 Ti Seahawk X (liquid cooled Ti card) is

i=26,
mem - 500
core +125
power limit 90%

I get around 53.5 Mh/s and card temp is around 58-60 celsius.


What you think? I am still noobish with this Ti cards, dont know what clocks are safe, how is their performance etc etc.


Any suggestions / tips?


And about fan cooling the radiator, i think it's running 100% all the time, as it cant be controled, it's 3 pin fan. It runs on 100% all the time.

With my evga 1080ti hybrid water cooled I run these conserverative-moderate settings for my $0.15 cent per watt energy bill

mem -502
core +125 or +150
power limit 70-80 percent.
temperature readings : 53-60 degrees average
Fan speed 60 percent
open air rig with 12" exhaust vent and a box fan blowing on them

I am not maximizing it's efficiency/performance but just trying to get it in the general ball park.  Since I am not home to watch it all the time I think it's more important to have conservative-moderate settings that are reliable 24/7.  Down time can get costly, so i think it's more important to have something reliable and focus your time on good trading skills and not overly focus on just efficiency per watt best clock settings possible.

That is correct.  You actually do not want that fan to dip below 100%.  I have 2 EVGA 1080 hybrid cards and I ended up replacing my radiator fans with Noctura ones to cut down on the noise

what about mining magnatum?

Any recommendations for an auto switching pool where you keep the coins you mine rather than having them auto traded you BTC?

@RSO_ - I'll delete the benchmarks and try again later. Thanks

Without needing to fiddle much (just need to modify pools) you could use the sniffdogminer with only one pool: https://miningpoolhub.com/. The default setting for the pool is to keep the coins.
Sniffdogminer will be used to change to the most profitable coin. The only drawback is, the pool doesn't have skunkhash algos listed atm. The other algos should be quite fine for 1080ti.

In Sniffdog is better the 3 pools(Hash, Zpoool, MPH) or is better one (for example to Zpool)?

3 pools are better than one! Switching is very quick so you lose very little hashing power during the switch.

My settings for 1080 Ti Seahawk X (liquid cooled Ti card) is

i=26,
mem - 500
core +125
power limit 90%

I get around 53.5 Mh/s and card temp is around 58-60 celsius.

By the looks of the stats I guess you are mining Signatum? or at least using the skunk algo.
You don't normally need to set the intensity - also 26 seems a little high to me. 24 is usually good, but I've also managed okay in the past with 22.
The best Ti clock settings are usually:

mem -500
core +200
power: 70 - 80%

You lose very little hashing rate by dropping to 80%, so it's definitely worth doing. Also it allows you to run your fan slower - so between that and the lower core temp, your card will last longer.


Yeah i am mining Signatum right now. Skunkhash.

Thanks, i will test it out. Btw, i tried 26.5 intensity, it boost up my hashrate with same clocking and power limits. Is maybe higher intensity wearing my card more compared to lower intensity?
Should i keep it lower or it doesnt matter if i use more cuda cores?

Ok I finally managed to put my one 1080ti card rig together at the weekend and kicked it off on SniffDog for simplicity while I look for other potential better options. It's only mining skein and nist5 at the mo even though I put a bigger list of algos in the startsniffin file. It didn't seem to benchmark the others for some reason. Anyway I'm in the game now and trying to talk the wife into letting me buy more cards! ;-)

As I only had one card I just plugged it into the mobo. Is this ok? Heat doesn't seem to be a problem as it's running at about 68 degrees. If I want to add another card I use risers? Anyone got a link to where to get them from? My mobo can support 6 x GPUs and the PSU is a 1200W one so good for another card or two.

Thanks

Gdr5 memory went 30% up so ti cards gonna get 10% price bump minimum soon,just a heads up if someone plan to expand
