Guys, would you suggest a USB based OS that ensure privacy/security ?
Maybe for critical operations ?

just hooked up  the third card

so this will run over  night.


It is an

 evga 1080 ti
asus   1080 ti
zotac  1080 ti

tdp at 75%

core is 120
memory is 275
fans at 80%


it weighs 790 grams out of the box
it weighs 1550 grams in the box

very good doing zec  about 2000 sols  and about 600 watts at the k-watt meter

what do you guys think about blower-fan 1080Ti's ? Good for mining or a risk with the single fan design?

 After-market blower fan designs should be OK.
 All of my R9 290 cards (which soak MORE power than any current-gen card except the Vega and possibly the Titan) are blower-style, and have been running reliable for well over a year now mining ETH or doing DNet work (which loads a card hard enough that it used to be a common "load test" used by a lot of test review sites, right up there with Prime95).

 FE cards though are known to be marginal on cooling, and definitely worse then the aftermarket cards, especially on the 1080 ti.

 If you run cards in a case, blower cards are DEFINITELY better in multi-card setups with a VERY few exceptions for some cards with fans but a heatsink where the fins run parallel to the bottom of the card (Sapphire mining RX 470 cards for example, but they need more open of a mounting bracket to actually be BETTER than a blower-style card), for riser-rigs with the ability to spread the cards out a lot blower cards offer no advantage.

Sir, stop quote people above you. Especially when there are pictures. It's not cool.

I dont know about those 1080ti MSI Armor.  Seems like its the same cooler as the 1070 ?  I dont think that would be sufficient, the fan blades are quite small and there is no high rpm to make up for it.  

I have zero interest in the msi Armor models of any type.


But the zotac mini will be running starting  on this Sunday.

I will post results.  I will need to use a 850 watt psu vs a 750 watt psu

build  will be 3 1080 ti's  riser free looking like this  build
 2x 1080 ti
1x 1070 itx

this should do:
 2000 hash    650 watts
vs 1750 hash 550 watts






How are the temps on the itx? My zotac mini 1060 is always 70+, no matter where i put it with how much air flow, it is never below that temp.

Rx470 4gb ....
Maybe bad luck, but I don't feel confortable using the adapters again.
(the adapters didn't die, they still work if I plug another GPU. I made a short time test)

Anyone ever had trouble with M2 to PCI-e adapters ?
I got 2 GPUs dead during last days, each on 2 different RIGS, and each was plugged on the M2 adapter ...


I don't trust that power plug aye.  What GPU's did you have on them?  I would run a 1070 but not a 1080ti for sure.

Hey Phil finally got the video put together that we talked about, thanks again for answering my 100 questions xD

https://youtu.be/fOzz6YFSNxE



good video.

I just got a hold of this card

https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-14-500-427


it is a zotac 1080ti mini

I am looking to build a 3 card 1080ti rig.

will post soon

Cute card. Phil can you try weighting the card. It will help to lower our shipping cost when reselling. Also for me I have to ship GPUs internationally to my farm, the savings are doubled.

In my experience, single fan 570s were 0.6kg, standard blower cards (480s, 1080tis) are 1kg, most standard size dual fan designs are 1-1.2kg too. The zotac mini looks to be 0.7kg or so.

Phillip,

Look at the MSI 1080ti Armor, there is proof on the gamer forums that they are the exact same products with different fan design and decoration with just a different bios..

Do you have a link that's interesting O_O

he deleted it.  it looks to be completely false info.


At storx  not the first time you made a completely wrong statement.

Do you have a link?  whats up with this.

see photos cards are clearly different.

msi armor a long  pcb board and it has no back plate.



zotac mini has a much shorter pcb

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G5NZ8213&cm_re=msi_1080_ti_armor-_-14-137-111-_-Product

Form Factor & Dimensions
Max GPU Length
290 mm
Card Dimensions (L x H)
290mm x 143mm
Slot Width
Dual Slot





zotac 1080 ti mini

https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-14-500-427

Form Factor & Dimensions

Max GPU Length   211 mm
Card Dimensions (L x H)   8.31" x 4.92"
Slot Width   Dual Slot


79mm length  difference  this is a huge difference

 
both use two 8 pin  connectors not one  8 and one  6


zotac
core 1506  1620  
ram  11 ghz

armor

core 1531 1645

ram 11016


so as far as I can tell the length is very different

oc armor

standard armor
https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-ARMOR-11G.html#hero-overview


the armor has no back plate and the pcbs is way longer then the zotac plus the zotac has a backplate.

It is late but I most likely will delete that post in the am  as the cards have huge  pcb differences

Thanks Phil I saw those too and have been wondering haven't really seen anything online about them, you think 1080 ti x2 plus ti mini w/ a 850w PSU ?

@ Phil , it may be related to the Mobo.
I noticed some are very hard with anything "advanced" (more than 4 GPUs , special adapters .. etc) , like the Z170s which are the worst IMHO.
But some mobos are very freindly with any kind of improvement, for example Z270s really helps for multiple GPUs rigs , and all M2 adapter alaways worked directly.

@ Citronick , thank you for feedback.
I never plugged any power connector to this kind of adapters. Just the adapter himself in the mobo, and the riser directly on it.
Always worked perfectly. Until the 2 burnt GPUs recently discovered...
I got some smoke too, but from the GPU itself when I tried to restart the faulty rig.
I'm sure this is linked to the M2 adapters, but can't explain/understand how/why.

About the 12-13 gpus rigs, do you know if the MB you use is available in Europe ?
because as far as I know, in EU, the best way to go for 8+ GPUs rigs is for the moment to use the M2 adapters (sometimes both) and PCIe splitters on good 6/7 slots mobos.

More personnally, did you manage to sell easily you old mobos when you switched to the new ones ?

You don't need to connect power to the m.2 adapter if you're using a powered riser.   I noticed a lot of people doing this for some reason.   I have 6-8 that have been stable for months without providing power to the adapter.

what do you guys think about blower-fan 1080Ti's ? Good for mining or a risk with the single fan design?

I find that they are more stable and better in most cases, only downside is they run hotter naturally... so blowing fans on them will greatly help... all my rigs i have the thermastat controlled box fans mounted about 6 inches above the non-blower GPU's while the gpus sit open on the metal wire shelving i use.. I have the boxfan set at the highest temp it can go up to and it typically only draws around 35watts blowing on the rigs... i see nearly a 35watt or more drop in the rig power draw just turning the box fan on.. so they kinda offset one another... the gpu fans all went down around 20% on fan speed using a custom auto fan curve to keep them under 70c. on the blower cards i found they cool better if you mount them with the video ports facing upwards and lay the box fan on the shelf below it blowing upwards... drastically helped all my blower fans in open setups... blowing down helped better on my non-blower style cards.

I like them better so far  almost
all I have used are blower fans.

As long as increased noise isn't an issue I would not be concerned about it. A good quality blower cooler will stay cool enough, just at higher noise levels.  We have 3 or 4 1080 Ti GPUs with blower coolers and they are fine so far.  An EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FE in my personal computer is actually the best miner out of all the GPUs we have running.
