I am running in the 60% area for now and in the fall I will clock higher.

also remember my summer power is 16.7 + say 2.3 for ac costs. so 19 cents

my winter power is 12.7 - say 3 cents for free heat so 9.7 cents.

so OCT 1 my power bill is dropped 45- 50% until June 1 next year.

Is it dry enough where you're at for evaporative cooling to work?

nah it is not that I can't do some cooling I just never bothered to because the summer power price does the jump from 12.7 to 16.7.

this is the first time in year I can do some in-house mining in the summer.

I do have a lot of gear at the solar array.

as long as I keep the amps at 10 x 240 volts = 2400 watts most of the heat just stays in the garage. So far the hottest day has been is 95/96 and the garage was 97.

rest of the house was 77-81

first summer bill was okay. 700 but the gear made 3300 . I would take that for the summer.

I am going to reduce in house foot print a little more. pulling 4 1080 ti's out. and bringing 1 in. that is about 400 less watts.

Awesome... yeah... actually, you can set your gpu fan % manually via the commandline...

Code:

...\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe -setFanSpeed:0,80

Set fan speed on card 0 to 80%

i know i can set it manually to a set %, but i find i use less power and get the BETTER hashrates by just running a custom curve and leaving it on auto... during the day the fan speed runs high to maintain lower temps, but at night my hashrates average nearly 10% more due to the cooler air during the night making the GPU's not have to work so hard to maintain temps and not throttle as much... idk just seems to be working out better for me...

I'm going to test using them with gtx1080tis at first then possibly some gtx1060s, I was told you can only get 4 running on x16 slots only and 2 on x8 and x4 slots....still need to play with this.....

If I can get this running, my next step is to test it on micro workstations....you can pickup refurbished dell/hp micro workstations with 1 x16 and 2 x1slots for $75-100....allowing the use of 6 gpu.

Then this would allow me to further expand on my current dell workstations I'm using, which have 2 x16, and 2 x1 slots, would possibly allow me to run 8-10 gpu off these refurbished computers I'm using

Storx, can you let me know the markings on the main chip for your splitter? Assuming they didn't sandpaper it off.

Im curious as to what chip they are using on that model.

I plan to be getting together with my father who is a hardware engineer; to design a project Wink

im currently up at the hospital visiting family, ill check when i get home.....

Here is my current miner batch im running on my 2 card rig at home currently testing it out, it is switching between equihash and other algo's perfectly adjusting the OC and UV settings like butter... only complaint i have so far is the auto fan mode built into the cards is terrible to adjust... right now i just have a manual fan controller software running in background with custom curve tell i figure it out in the near future.......

IF YOU USE THIS BATCH FILE, THE OVERCLOCKING IS THE SETTINGS I RUN, PLEASE START LOW AND ADJUST TO YOUR DESIRE, I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE

post results soon when you get it going.

I saw angrybirds's build: 11 x 1070s, 7+2xM2 with 2 splitters = 11 GPUs working with 2 x PSUs

I decided to go density with the 1070s because its draws so little power, 6 x GPU at 660w@25MH ETH, even at 12 x GPU under 1300w is amazing.

Do you have the link to angrybird's build? Would like to see that Wink

I read somewhere this splitters are suppose to work only with AMD cards. What do you plan to run at them?

Need some help with cable

so I have this vga cable that goes from [8 pin male] to [6+2pin male and 6 pin male] but my GPU needs two 8 pin power. I used one of these 8 pin splitter that comes with the GPU and connected on 6 pin male so I can connect two 8 pins with this one cable. Would it be safe to connect like this? I am leaving one end of splitter unconnected. Please take a look at the pic.

Looking at a new motherboard for setting up four cards.

Any other recommendations other than this. list as many good ones as you can as is tricky to find stock in anything in New Zealand.

Gigabyte GA-Z270-HD3 $200 NZ 4 or 5 pcie?

Asus Prime Z270-AR $250 NZ 7 x pcie?

Asus Prime H270-Plus Or this? has one less large PCI-e slot but I have risers on the way. only 180$ NZ\\

Any other recomendations. Personally I like the look of the Gigabyte GA-Z270-HD3.

Next question. I cant get plat PSU here in NZ without paying around $200 premium until the next shipment comes here.

I have 3x 550w-600W PSU's. Is there soem way I can use these to power my cards until a proper PSU gets her? Like one PSU purely for the main system and one old as card to get a display and then 2x PSU for the remaining cards? or is it not worth teh hassel?

I noticed one of my gpus was going 54mhs and my second was doing 65mhs on lyra2.

So I was like I guess I have to tweak that one.. I seperated them on afterburn and I started tweaking.. no mater what I do.. 60%, 100% power.. overclock.. no oc.. the cars has no change.

The other card changes its mhs when I made adjustments.. I dont get it.. anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Run one card doing Lyra2. See what it does.

Run the other card . See what it does .

Some cards will run well with others some do not.

Try just one card in two slots.

Try the other card in two slots.

Which means four runs.

Then try the two together. Then flip the two.

You may find the cards are not the issue the mobo may provide more reserves to one slot over the other.

Or you got a weak card.

Some say weak cards will do better on under clock.

So test at 50 % and 55%

One may really improve on a low clock

Thank you Phil. I will run some tests this weekend!

What is the reason when we mine skein and sometime zec that we drop the memory clock to -500? Is this just to reduce stress on the card? As I can't seem to see any performance or power difference.

if the hash rate stays the same at -500 or 0 and the power use stay the same at -500 or 0

there should be no reason to not do either one they give the same result.

Since there is no gain by ram at 0 I set to -500 as an added safety factor as the card is working at the lower freq.

when I mine for months on end in my garage my entire slab of concrete gets warmed happens in the dead of winter when I am doing 20-25 amps ate 240 in the garage.

So longer high use takes a toll you will not see for first 60 to 100 days of mining. thus I go -500
