I ran the biostar z170 with 4 rx 480's no risers it gets hot

the setup I did with 3 cards  above is pretty much fool proof zero heat issues  2300-2400 for skein only 550 watts.

it will run on  the biostar z 170

it will run on the gigabyte z270

my rack can hold 6 rigs that would be  more then 6 x 2200 = 13200 for skein or  6 x 1800 = 1080 for zec  at 6 x 550 watts = 3300  

I would be earning over  150 usd a day for that power.


btw  the evga psu you link is a good one for one of these rigs.


I plan to have 6 rigs on that rack

1)1080ti 1080ti 1070    4)1080ti 1080ti 1070

2)1080ti 1080ti 1070    5)1080ti 1080ti 1070

3)1080ti 1080ti 1070   6) 1080ti 1080ti 1070

I bought 4 rosewell 850's yesterday, I might return them and get the EVGA's I really like the looks of them! Thanks for the link scryed

Also the 2x1080Tix1x1070 is pretty nifty, I might have to try that out! Space is getting crowded with all these 2 card rigs I need to bump up to 3+ ASAP.

Ordered 10 more TI's today. 10 Yesterday. The inventory is growing.

Phil you're awesome!

I have some of those motherboards on the way, also I have a z170 with 4 PICEx16 - spacing is going to be tight for a 4 card 1080TI no riser but I'm going to run it just to see how long it can go. Should get here monday.

My new bottleneck - these stupid Corsair 750's only have 2... TWO! 4+4/6+1 power ports. The Rosewill 850w you suggested does have 4 PCIE power lines, so I just need  to get some more cables that have 2 sets of 6+2's in them, I ran out. I upgraded a dozen 1070's to 1080Ti's today - hardware always takes longer than you expect. Was expecting to unscrew, unplug, swap and be done. The power cords threw me for a huge loop.


I was thinking about running power from my 1500w EVGA but I actually don't have long enough cables for that either.

So back to the drawing board.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438061

This EVGA GQ 850W has EIGHT 6+2pin. You could technically put 4x 1080 Ti on that Biostar mobo.
Just make sure to get the blower versions of the gpu and lower the power limit to around 75 to 80.

never used your psu pick it looks good

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2V0AHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?


2300 for skein  or 1800 for zec  low power  550 watts

all three cards cool.

Since I have lots of biostar z170's I will use them.

as for better boards no board  that I know has 1-4 -7 spacing.d
but the 1080ti - 1080ti - 1070 msi mini  super short   allows for 3 cool cards. 72-75% tdp's

 my garage is hot 90 f

cards still run well under 70c at 75% fan.

my rack can hold 6 rigs that would be  more then 6 x 2200 = 13200 for skein or  6 x 1800 = 1080 for zec  at 6 x 550 watts = 3300  

I would be earning over  150 usd a day for that power.


btw  the evga psu you link is a good one for one of these rigs.

I own 2 and ⅓ s-9's  they use about 3300 watts  they earn 33 dollars a day  


same power bill   at 20 cents a k-watt about 16 dollars a day.

so  one setup earns  150 cost 16 to run at 20 cents a k-watt  cost 8 to run at 10 cents a k-watt cost 4 to run at 5 cents a k-watt.
one setup earns 33 costs  16 to run   same as above.

basically these gpus  compete at 20 cents a k-watt  as well as s-9 do at 4 cents a k-watt.



I plan to have 6 rigs on that rack

1)1080ti 1080ti 1070    4)1080ti 1080ti 1070

2)1080ti 1080ti 1070    5)1080ti 1080ti 1070

3)1080ti 1080ti 1070   6) 1080ti 1080ti 1070

the gigabyte board will do 3  with no risers.   1080ti 1080 ti 1070 mini

here are two builds on the biostar z170
3 with no risers 1080ti 1080 ti 1070

Thanks Phil.

Btw, have you ever found a mobo with 1 4 7 spacing between the PCIE 16x slots?

Okay I just setup  a 2x 1080 ti + 1x 1070 rig riser free.

Can you please show a top view picture to see the spacing?

yeah I just took it.

if you use the gigabyte board

Finally broke and got some 1080ti
Been testing one and got at 690-710sols at 200watts 3.47sol/w temp is 72c in a 95f room
Does that sound good or do I need to play around some more?

How far should I go with memory and core? Right now they are both around 100. I guess only as high as not to ruin my s/w below 3.2 or so?


... test it yourself and let us know, whot you get !

My little dual GTX-1060-6 RIG is running at 3.2 - 3.5 SOL (even saw 3.9) per Watts (~570 SOL) with equihash (look some pages back).

 Grin

Interesting..... at 570sols with this tdp..... this can be better than 1070

Got my very first nvidia card after buying all RX 470/480s for the past year, 33 in total.
Zotac GTX 1070 mini, $350 from newegg.com.

I'm getting around 437 sols mining zcash with EWBF 0.3.3b 90% power, +200 core, +550 mem.
Can I get more? Please share some tricks and tips!
Also, which coin is more profitable to mine lately? I see Phil and others say skein, I've also heard DGB?


Your clocks are wasting money

First put --pec   At the end of your bat file

Restart miner and wait for the sols to watts number.

It will be 2.8 to 3.1

Drop the tdp to 80%

And check your sols to watts it will improve.

Make manual fan at 75%

Come with results

Then we can tweak memory

 

Skein with zpool converting to btc
Zec with nicehash converting to btc

Both are good.

WOW, that --pec option is pretty cool, thanks Phil!
I did what you said and now it's doing ~400 sol, around 100 watts, 3.5-3.8 s/w  Grin

I´m sorry, I do not get that board over the distribution any more here,
but it would be nice, 2 combine it with 4 Katanas.

Do you believe I could run the same 3 card setup like with the Aero's or no?

3 1080 ti's riser free won't happen

I do all my 3 card  1080 ti's  with 2 on the board and one on a riser.

a riser free setup with 3 cards  2 msi aeros 1 short mini 1080 or 1070 on the board can be done  with the 1 card short at the end.

  I would not try it in a case.

However  I am going to build a katana katana gigabyte in a case.

Here is an asus, katana, katana   in a case  a bit too hot


 (To Phil)

 Try adding a Delta 38mm to the front of the case, fans that come with cases are usually seriously wimpy.

 (To Vosk)

 I would also not try 3 x 1080 ti in a non-riser build, the only motherboards that will let them space out properly to cool are WAY too bloody expen$ive and uncommon (the old Gigabyte -UD7 motherboards would work but ALL of them have been out of production for years and Gigabyte doesn't seem to be doing them on current chipsets).
 As a nearly-universal rule boards with 3 x 16-bit PCI slots space the #2 and #3 slot too close together to let the #2 card cool if you have another full-length card in the #3 slot - which is why I love the Gigabyte "ITX" 1070 card (MSI makes a 1070 that size now too) - they leave 1 fan totally unobstructed, which has been enough to keep the middle card reasonably cool in my 3-card no-riser rigs when the small amount of airflow the other fans get is added in.

 Some boards I've seen with 5 x 16bit slots OR MORE allow the right spacing - but BLOODY HECK you pay more for some of those motherboards ALONE than some of my 2+ card complete RIGS have cost me.


 Backplates on non-riser mining rigs are a BAD THING - they obstruct airflow.
 On riser rigs they don't matter, you just space the cards out more.



Do you have a picture of your 2x ti & mini build? I am trying to setup two rigs to mirror phil's 2x ti & 1 mini 3 card non-riser build

wait until tonight..

Do you have the exact link ?
as it is not on first page, it's hard to find it inside the 150+ pages when you don't know where to search first.

I'm not lazzy, I spent 15 minutes digging but all I find seems very complicated and I don't think this is the step by step you meant.

I don't know what is SSH but willing to learn.

starting from here may help

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18513502

Citronik, with mobaxterm , what do we have to use as Port , User and Password ?
I managed to get nothing Sad

1. create an SSH session
2. enter remote host = 192.168.... your rig's IP address
3. enter specify username = miner
4. ssh port is default, use that
5. press ok.... it will prompt you for password, enter "miner" --- this process only required once
6. summary .... userid/password is miner and miner
7. you should be in by now.... to see your mining console "screen -x miner"
 

Awesome thank you !

Easy but I was missing the main info : miner and miner Wink

great!

I love this mobaxterm, I fell in love with it since "carloshell" introduced it to me recently.

Now... all my VNC and SSH session are now centralized with mobaxterm, so I can manage all nvoc and smos rigs.

I highly recommend you give mRemoteNG a try. Open source and free. No restrictions.

thanks - will try it out

can this replace Teamviewer?

Hi Folks,

I would be very pleased,
if any "Boner" could ad his power-usage from wall,
otherwise it does not make very much sense.
