i run all my 1080 ti's off cables like that.
I use evga 750 p2
I use evga 850 p2
I use rosewill tokamak 1500 tit
I use rosewill quark 850 plat
I like the rose will a lot the quark 850's are as lot as 130 usd on eBay
you can do 4 1080 ti's at 70%

that looks like a standard vga cable, evga or likewise. You can put the 6+2 and the 6, or 6+2 and 6+2 on one 1080ti without problems. just check your cables to see if they are warm/hot. you'll be pulling 200w and those cables can take more. In case of doubt, just email the PSU company and ask them 
So I have got all my risers and I am trying to do 4 1080ti's on one board with 2 risers.
So that is 10 6/8 pin connectors. I only have 8 and a 1000W PSU. Two of those 8 cables have this kind of cable on it. WHen is it ok to use this kind of cable. Can you power one 1080 ti off this cable?
I tested it on an older card and I worked I dunno what kinda power it draws though but it required an 8pin and a 6pin.

Anyone able to provide some insight? The main thing is I want to know if I can run a single 1080ti off the single cable pictured. Running a whole extra rig I dont need until I figure this out.
I'm running 5 x 1080ti off very similar cables that have a single cable at the PSU end and then an 8 pin and a 6+2 pin on the GPU end.
My power supply is a Rosewill Tokamak 1500W and my cards are pulling 1000+ watt without too many issues
I am waiting for people to start dumping off their 1060 and 1070's after a half reclaim on ROI.... you will finally see the cards for what they should be selling for ~160 for a 1060 and ~260 for a 1070. Those are more realistic second-hand prices.
I just had a local guy on CL debate with me on how his EVGA GTX1060 that he bought for $200 shelf price a month ago are not worth the $320 he was asking for them.... and when I worked him down to $220 cash for one card, that was advertised as being "BNIB", I asked for a zoomed in in focus picture of the PCIE plug to see if it is indeed unused, wherein I got no response back.
So yeah; I am glad I got my buddy to build his miners before all this fell apart (the 1Kls link); hes already paid off most if not all of it; and all the profits from now on are clean cut. His power for his house is included in his rent; so he's heating his house for the summer XD

only a fool would ever sell a 1070 for under 300 man , even next year unless it has been mining 247 for 3 years and is out of waranty. Heck Id be shocked to see one for under 350 till 2019
Huh? How do you figure that out?
Newegg was selling them brand new for $319 on Ebay before the boom.
I don't think it will be too long until we see them back down in the 300's and then even lower. Especially before 2019
things have changes forever since then, back then there was a glutt of 1070s since even casuaal gamers preferrd the rx series due to price, now rx series are no longer the best mining card anymore and even if rx prices come back to 200 250, a used 1070 is still a better option not only for gaming but mining by far due to the epoc nerf.
even when eth is unminable 1070 is stil far far better at everything else, you wont see sub 300 or even 350 1070s until maybe volta witch wont be in much quantity till 2019

well after all the action
I owe 6k to paypal
I have 10x 1080 ti's
I have 6.3 btc
I have 4k cash.
So not too bad.
The 10 cards clear 28 a day.
I knew we were in trouble once the cards sold out.
At this point nvidia and amd had zero incentive to prop prices up. next month should be fun.

I am missing the days of 10mbtc/2days with my 3x 1070 equivalent hashrate; now with my 2x 1070 equivalent; I am lucky to see 15mbtc/week....
DGB being < 400 is quite a hit to the algos as well. if it werent so low, skien would be better still. At least network diff on DGB will be dropping again finally. My home pc used to find many blocks/day when it was not on the radar.

I ordered a trezor and put 0.01 btc in it .
Seems to work okay but I think I will need to leave it alone for now.
I reduced the miners alot.
I got good prices selling all the 1070's
And the rx 480's
I have to decide what to do in the next few weeks.
I get two new 1080ti's today ordered 9 days ago. The price was okay 683 each. But the cards do not earn like they were.
I may list them in the marketplace rathe then open them.
Or I may sit on them until august 2-5
I think I am at 10 of them only 8 mining and at zec they are pretty low
8 of them at nicehash are doing as low as 2.50 each or 20 a day mining zcash.
they burn 1300 watts or 31 kwatts a day at 10 cents = 3.10
so 20 - 3.10 = 16.90 a day round down say 16 a day after power.
but they are pretty much fully paid off. so 500 a month net no debt
far cry from 3 grand a month - 600 power = 2400 a month net.
also for your msi aero what did you find to be the best sol/watt setting?
65%
200 core
-500 ram
75% manual fan.
My home power is stupid high in the summer once you count in added ac I am at 20 cents.
So my in house mining is at 500 watts now. or 12 kwatts or 2.40 a day in power cost and I think I am earning about 4 dollars so in the garage I net 1-2 dollars a day.
I have a few bs set ups in the house.
the solar array has the 8 active 1080 ti's
my deal is 50-50 split of coins at 0 power cost
so if they gross 20 a day bucks I get 10 bucks a day .
On the 8 active they are fully paid off so 10 bucks a day net.
So maybe I now net 12 a day. and I have not paid off the 2 newest cards or used them at all .
Still good but this was a solid crash.

So I have got all my risers and I am trying to do 4 1080ti's on one board with 2 risers.
So that is 10 6/8 pin connectors. I only have 8 and a 1000W PSU. Two of those 8 cables have this kind of cable on it. WHen is it ok to use this kind of cable. Can you power one 1080 ti off this cable?
I tested it on an older card and I worked I dunno what kinda power it draws though but it required an 8pin and a 6pin.
My risers are these https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliexpress.com%2Fitem%2FUpdated-New-USB-3-0-PCI-E-Express-1x-Extender-Riser-Card-Adapter-SATA-6-PIN%2F32819031074.html&h=ATNjbNrZld8_ZY3wO7SEjlUCp6uV1rVMf0bV4Ozd2RjnMO29kHyjvhTHHg10oV-qmjvGRBlhX4skXRKlDfYGUyzjtNbpz0Rx0PE8jI7PGYcf1nKWpiRZDPkfFxHlk8QhLteMeGieEzw
They come with this kind of cable. Which I understand is not powerful enough to power 1080ti in a riser.
https://i.imgur.com/8vy7119.jpg
Would this work instead? My only worry is that I will only be able to power one riser this way becuase both PSU's I have only have 125w accross teh +3.3v and +5v rails or do the perifial cables also run on the +12V main rail? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PC-New-PCI-E-6-Pin-to-2X-4-Pin-Dual-4Pin-Graphics-Video-Display-Card/32731993629.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5_10152_10065_10151_10068_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10110_10136_10137_10175_10111_10060_10112_10113_10155_10114_5360016_10154_438_10056_10055_10054_10182_10059_100031_10099_10078_10079_10103_10073_10102_10189_10052_10053_10142_10107_10050_10051,searchweb201603_1,ppcSwitch_7&btsid=b7415050-1ce1-4113-b92c-ee351b891843&algo_expid=64f036fc-17d0-4aa3-83ed-2f5bee714d41-1&algo_pvid=64f036fc-17d0-4aa3-83ed-2f5bee714d41

If you have those risers (v6?) - the one with PCIE molex, you could get that Y cable with 2 x 6+2 pins.
That will save you having to use an extension to access SATA power.
I have used both PCIE molex and SATA powered PCIE extension on my Aorus 1080ti and Zotax AMP Extreme without any issues.
Sorry can you explain what you mean clearer. I am not getting my head around it probably sorry. Which Y cable? the one I posted? And use that from my PSU to power the risers? I don't have any of those cables yet I would have to buy them so is the Y splitter better than using the 2x 4pin molex or the 2x sata to 6 pin molex? I still dont know which rail those connectors are on if it is safe to use those or not.
For your Aorus did you use this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PC-New-PCI-E-6-Pin-to-2X-4-Pin-Dual-4Pin-Graphics-Video-Display-Card/32731993629.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5_10152_10065_10151_10068_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10110_10136_10137_10175_10111_10060_10112_10113_10155_10114_5360016_10154_438_10056_10055_10054_10182_10059_100031_10099_10078_10079_10103_10073_10102_10189_10052_10053_10142_10107_10050_10051,searchweb201603_1,ppcSwitch_7&btsid=b7415050-1ce1-4113-b92c-ee351b891843&algo_expid=64f036fc-17d0-4aa3-83ed-2f5bee714d41-1&algo_pvid=64f036fc-17d0-4aa3-83ed-2f5bee714d41 Directly into your Aorus or do you mean for the riser? Id rather use the main cables for my cards and anything else for risers.
Hello guys, i'm new to the mining business, bad timing for what i've seen in this thread 
I've got my KFA2 GTX 1060 6G at a stable 24 MH/s Eth (W10) and i wonder what would be the most profitable thing to mine with it. (and if you have any advice about it, it would be awesome. )
I'm considering building a rig but don't really know what would be the best GPU to buy, any advice? i'm living in EU and considering investing about 2,5K€ (6 or 8 GPU). The goal been first, not loose any money over it, then try to earn some while having fun discovering.
ty for your time guys.

You can order a ledger off their website, but shipping is expensive, and it wont ship until early september.

Seems to work okay but I think I will need to leave it alone for now.

I may list them in the marketplace rathe then open them.

I sent some requests for the ability for our hardware wallets (specifically ledger) to have access to both chains after the split. Should be interesting to see if they take this on; or I wont be using it anymore, possibly not even after the split.
Got an answer back from ledger. They say they will add the functionality in their chrome plugin to choose what chain its operating on. In essence, a dual-chain device now.
Interesting. Waiting to see if they have a timeframe for the functionality to be available...
*edit* I just got the response...
"It should be happening in the coming weeks, the next or the week after basically depending how early Segwit2x activation goes"
Excellent. This leave some easy options for guys like me who can't exactly download/maintain a blockchain because i'm on a cellular link at near all my sites....
do you have a ledger link to purchase one?
I like my ledger. Holds the cold storage =) Mine was a gift from my mother surprisingly. She saw it on my amazon WTB list not knowing exactly what it was.
in the meantime I built a new wallet on core 14
13pQVwqs9SRkHAWQEt1FJTRaJAc3BDwee2 is the first address.
I am also upgrading an 11 core to a 14 core.
so I will have 2 core wallets to hold coin in.
okay they are on amazon I will take a look for it.
The new wallet is on win 10 and an empty 500 gb ssd
very fast to load it. I will need to back it up. I will clone it with a cloner.
In the meantime the rebuilt one is slow to load.
