I dont know if the order will actually ship.. but its worth a try... super cheap price.. think they left a 7 off the price...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/222551926796

I ordered 2, just in case because of the ebay money back guarantee...

I only own FE 1080tis, they work fine and helps with my airflow direction. Just louder.

I have 2 they are fine

any thoughts on the PNY founders edition? they're on sale and they're about 60$ cheaper than othet cards.

I would get 4x 1080ti  shoot for 650 hash rate  with a 65%-70% tdp and save tons of power

so about 4 x 650 = 2600 sol and around  650 watts for the cards and 75 watts for all else so 725 watts or less = easy peasy for

 4x 1080 ti's doing  2600 sol

Hey guys, i'm planning to skew a little towards nvidia and i'm weighing between 1080 and 1080ti, i know the hash rates for a 1080 is about 500-550 sols and the TIs are about 700-720 sols, but is the heat generation less? lets say i run a 4 TI rig vs a 6 1080 rig, would it be better to just get the less amount of cards possible? Also, are the founders edition of these cards worse or better than the regular editions, in terms of both hash rates and heat generation?

Question about risers.

I have an older Gigabyte motherboard its a P67-xxxxx running and i5 CPU.  It has two full PCI-e slots and I am currently running two 1080 ti FE on it as an open air rig.  It also has one small PCI-e slot.

I have a third card running on an even older motherboard that only has one PCI-e slot.  I want to get rid of this and get all three cards running on the open air rig.

I know I can probably do this with a riser.  Is there any gotcha's with slightly older motherboards?  At this stage I dont want to purchase a new motherboard if this one is going to do the job.

I was looking at this Riser.

I have a 1000W PSU connected to this rig.  (slightly overkill I know but huge shortage of plat PSU in newzealand i didnt have a choice).  I was thinking if I get the 6 pin riser I can plug a connector directly from my power supply to the riser as I have heaps of extra connectors rather than using the adapter that comes with it.  Is this advisable?

Or is it better to use the adapter and connect it to one of Sata power connectors?

Is the linked version the type I should be going for there is several to pick from.  What do I need to look out for when buying off ali express? I am limited to buying from there as I can't really find them in my country.

Thanks

Very nice - do you guys have enterprise edition installed or were you able to get it done using just pro version? think i want to test this out myself with a 32gb stick

Nice, ya i look forward to the simple mining.. would be nice to place it all under 1 monitoring system.. 2/rig isnt really all that big of deal imo if the software fulfills what i want it to do.. i look forward to testing it out in the future.. right now i have been to busy to test anything outside of windows.. have immediately family in the hospital.. so i have been on here mostly from the hospital room, while all my mining rigs are sitting at home or at my parents house...

Good news is that the USB drive is still functioning perfectly..... i was comparing notes from previously, it seems windows uses more memory on the usb drive during mining over using the hard drive.. so i am assuming its placing little to no use on the USB drive and placing all the transactions in the memory... which is a good thing, it will greatly increase the life of the usb drive since its really only being used by windows for basic idle task, since it seems the mining occurs all in the memory... one thing to note is i seen no difference really on the watt o meter on power consumption going from mechanical hdd to usb.. so the use of the USB is more of a function in regards to cheaper builds, requiring far less wires to assemble rigs in the future...

I am still waiting for my 128gb sd card to come in the mail with the usb 3.0 adapter for it.. i will try to run it next on windows.. since they are cheaper than the USB drives themselves due to phone industry driving down the price of the 128gb sd cards..

smos NVIDIA support currently is using only Powerlimit and dev is still working on the OC/UC settings, and adding more NVIDIA mining app like EWBF and others are promised in the future.

I tested briefly my Zotac 1070 Mini rigs on smOS and its mining at 6x25MH=150MH at 660watts. Its nice to see the non-AMD rigs in the same dashboard, however its $2 bucks per rig .... so all my NVIDIA rigs will be on nvOC since its free currently.

Currently all my Nvidia rigs are on nvOC Linux, namely, Zotac 1070s mining ETH, 30.xxMHx6=180MHs at 950watts
All my 1080tis rigs are exclusively selling ZEC hash at Nicehash getting BTC in return.
And 1 lone ZEC rig with 2 x 1080ti Aorus with Windows-to-Go (W10) thumbdrive.

I have no experience with this setup, can you add additional miners or is Alexis78 and ccminer-x64 available to be used in this software? i heard the overclocking is disabled currently, so you cant underclock your cards.. is this still a thing?

In the past i have been teamviewing into my miner rigs and changing the batch files and such manually using the crappy low resolution since my rigs have no onboard video cards really... but recently i started playing with Awesome Miner. I will be upfront with you the software is designed to be a auto profit switching platform, but i find it extremely limited in regards to Nvidia algo's to mine due to it only allowing the mining on algo's listed under GPU tab on whattomine.com... so instead of using it for its intended use, i have been playing with using it for just remote control.. i have been adding the modded Nemo Batch files to the command line windows for custom configuration and just running my own miners manually without using the built in features of the auto switch... the batch file works like normal switching between the 3 i have set... the benefit of the awesome miner is it allows me to see if the miners are mining at any given time all from one screen and when i want to make changes to switch the batch file, i can click send to miner and it will push the batch file to it and allow me to start it without ever remote logging into that computer. The only drawback so far is the lack of stats, since your not using the built in features it has no clue what your mining, at what rate and profits.. so they are just all empty.. but it does give me a quick view of what coins are going at in regards to earnings on the coins supported on whattomine.com

I have emailed the developer and he said he is talking with whattomine to add more algo's to his website soon to allow more coins to be used on his platform

Is the only way to get Windows on the thumb stick is using Windows to Go?
I was interested in putting Win7 on a 64gb stick.

Figured I would install it through a Sata DVD the old school way (fresh install).
Would it install similar to an SSD?

Sorry I am a noob with this stuff.

 Not a new article, and still does nothing to explain how the mining-specific card could achieve that much higher performance than non-mining GTX 1080 cards can manage.
 On the positive side, though, EVGA involvement indicates a high probability of SOME of these cards being available to small miners.

 On the other hand, Nvidia might actually be starting to feel some pressure - 1070 pricing IS climbing quite a bit, currently back near or into low-end 1080 pricing and availability getting spotty.

 wcctech has a spotty record on "upcomming scoops" - sometimes they get it right, sometimes they blow it entirely (like the RX 490 they were talking about a couple months or so back that never happened).
 There have been a few different sources on the GP106-100 though inplying that SOMETHING is going on there - the GP104-100 still seems to be going back to one or 2 root rumor sources, but it would be nice if it DID happen.

its been awhile since i posted some rig shots
20x RX 470 dual mining ETH/SIA 25mhs/500mhs 1130core/1800mem
1x GTX 1080ti mining ZEC 690sols
1x GTX 1060 amp mining ZEC 300sols

it isnt clean but it gets the job done

I am running right now on Windows 7......Teamviewer'ed in during the day to keep an eye on my ONE rig lol from my work computer.

Sometimes I turn it off and periodically check zpool to make sure it is still active.

Now to my question those of you who have multiple rigs--how do you monitor/change settings on each one?  It is my assumption you do not change settings often on them once you pick a miner and pool?  You do not hook up a monitor to each one and keyboard when you need to do something?

Curious--planning the next stage of my mining and was wondering about this.

Thanks.
