is there a way to auto restart EWBF miner if miner or GPU has a problem ? like watchdog for claymore ?

Are there any burnt components or places? Power it up and you will see if it's working.

Thanks on the recommendation bud, i didnt order cpu/ram/mobo yet still looking for options in regards to those T series cpu's.. but i did order a 64gb usb drive off amazon $16.99 tonight with credit card points to try and test using its as boot drive for windows 10, my 3rd gpu rig is an old xeon dell workstation that has a 750gb 4800rpm drive i bought refurbished for $100, ima test it out on that thing since its takes ages for the hard drive to respond.. but it has been running rock solid for 2 days with 4 gtx1080ti's running off it on risers mining away... im curious if the usb drive would speed anything up on it running windows 10 or maybe even increase hashrates possibly, seriously doubt it.. but if the windows side of it works ima use that on future builds.. just thinking about it, it should work... my media pc in my bedroom hooked to my tv is a raspberry pi with sd card lol that works perfectly

idiot of the day is here

I just built my first rig today and placed the motherboard on top of a conductive stainless shelf.. tried to power on for like an hour wondering what the hell is wrong with my build.. It was powering on and off at one point too... Eventually figured out and got it working but how bad is this? lol System is running fine but I am wondering if I made any damage to the board. This is like the dumbest thing ever smh

not sure you may need  a 64gb


but  your mobo pick looks okay.



do your self a favor and get the pentium g4400t

I understand you may not want to run linux from nvOC but the   pentium g4400t will save you a lot of power over the celery g3930cpu


https://ark.intel.com/products/90614/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4400T-3M-Cache-2_90-GHz

35 watts max

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/celeron/g3930.html

51 watts max   that is 16 watts on paper but the truth is it is more like 20-21 watts less power

so about 500 watts a day  or a chat in 2 days or 182 kwatts a year at 10 cents 18.20 a year in power..

plus it will resell well

Phillip, is windows able to run off that usb drive over a ssd? just curious

Ill check into that motherboard, the cheapest ive come up with is this... https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RLKd2R @$194

the gigabyte  z270

download  smos if you want an amd build  or download nvoc if you want a nvidia build

3 card beauty 550 watts running 1700 =1800 zec

check out Biostar Racing GT7 and the new Z270 motherboards from Asus and MSI

in fact plenty of choices 180$ and below

Have any of yall found any 4+ GPU motherboard/cpu/hd/ram combos for under $180? trying to keep to 4 GPU's more than likely, because the server 1200 watt PSU's i bought are actually only 900watt rated on 120v

it is a very good mining cpu runs on z170 and on z270 boards.

used ones on eBay as low as 114 dollars

 Somewhere on the Nicehash website they list the urls and ports and such for their various pools.

 You can't mine ZEC specifically, though, you mine the algo and then their pool bounces your miners around where needed.

 I have run my A2 Scrypt farm that way at times in the past.


 I just did an interesting number estimate - ETH added about 30,000 GH/s of network hashrate over the last 3 months - that's a bit over 10 MILLION RX 480/580 cards (it's actually going to be more cards than that since there are a lot of RX 470/570 cards in there that don't do 30 Mh/s and not all that many 480/580 that do, though there probably are a few folks doing silly things like using a 1080 or 1080ti that can do a bit over, and likely a few of the Fury-based duo boards that do quite a bit over).

 3.3+ MILLION cards sold to miners each of the last 3 months just for ETH, as a probably conservative estimate.
 No WONDER the 570/580 are in short supply.

 As long as ETH profitability stays anywhere near it's current ballpark, AMD is going to be selling every card they can make at a significant markup to MSRP....


 For perspective, ZEC total network hashrate can be generated by something like *1* million GTX 1070, as I recall - and I suspect all non-ETH GPU-mineable cards combined might only need 2-3 million GPUs to cover their current network hashrate.

yeah. i am switching to "t" suffix processors in miners now. like i5 6400t. "t" is the low power version of the processor, 35 watts vs 65 watts tdp.

considering most miner cpus run at near idle the power draw is even lower.

6 x Zotac 1070 Mini, 154.xx MH, about 25.xx MH per card, 100 core/PL - no OC settings yet as Tytanick is still working on it.

Promising because it only draws 650-660watts of the wall but.... compared to Windows10, 30.xx MH per card, 181MH total but draws almost 850-950 watts.



meanwhile, this Auros beast is locked and loaded but waiting for server PSU = agony

i dont' give a fuck how much it cost. I'll pay 1200$ if it gave me 1200 MH/s

IDGAF if it's 120,000$ for 1 card if it have me 100k MH/s

Send it my way, you can move to the back of the line.

Any specific driver to use for 1080ti and 1070? getting 700 on ewbf/nicehash.

I am planning to use them for Zcash/Skein. Is Zpool Skein issue back to normal?
I look at site and it shows the following stats.

[24 Hours Actual]
0.00366mBTC @ USD0.04026 per GH?

Doesn't seems to be right. Am I reading it right?

I dont own any, but someone on another forum post stated that the zotec 1080ti mini is a awesome card on the non-memory intensive algo's.... like skein, but something like eth it is on par with the numbers of a 1070 overclocked...

WTF!!, why are they wanting $1198 for the Vega.......
I went ahead and ordered 2 more of the Asus Turbo 1080ti's today.... just gotta shop for mobo and cpu for it now... lol have more cards coming then i have computers to put them on

How are those Zotac 1080 Ti Minis doing on Zcash/Skein?
Over at my place, they are about 14% cheaper. I am really considering them over Amp Extreme editions.
