back to the question of SLI / WIN10 benefits...

i have two systems in hand right now, one runs 2x asus 1080ti fe at 1481/1582 clocks on WIN10 / SLI and 2x nvidia 1080ti fe at 1481/1582 clock sli bridge connected but gpu-z says sli is disabledm having these setups i have

ASUS producing 125,6 MHs (nicehash)
NVIDIA producing 121,4 MHs (nicehash)

and a single EVGA 1080ti fe 1481/1582 clock producing 62,5MHs (nicehash)

so clocks all the same, temps are same, the only difference is win7/win10 i probably wont take sli in to consideration as a single 1080ti fe on same clocks does 64,5mhs and if doubled we get 125mhs non sli, so....

it looks like WINDOWS 10 IS ACTUALLY MAKES it a little bit better - imho

stock.  Power isn't a concern for me.  I haven't heard of any boost other than slightly lower wattage... so, I leave it alone.

Well, I finally broke down and sold a few ETH coins at $101.50 (to cash, not BTC).  During the last 2 weeks with those couple of scary down-swings, I swore I would sell some if it broke $100 again so i kept my word to myself lol.  Now sure, it may be $120 by tomorrow morning but I have got to break myself out of this crypto-hoarding mentality lol.  It's just so hard to sell during what seems like a bull market, but I gotta start taking some profits, for peace of mind if nothing else.  I am still probably a bit over-leveraged on ETH, but I really like a lot of things going on with the Ethereum network (like Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, and a lot of other coins either on or moving to ETH network.  Hopefully this will also embolden me to start taking profits on some other alts... but i doubt it lol.

edit 1: and of course, in the few minutes it took to write this post, ETH went up another $4 lol!  So be it... just gotta be happy since in the grand scheme of things, I never could have imagined ETH even at $50 much less $100. When i started mining in 6-7 months ago, it was $10 lol.

Just switched my 1080ti to zpool. What clock settings are y'all running for skein? Thanks

Skein is super easy to get going on zpool and is very profitable right now
My 1080ti's can break ~1000 h/s and it doesn't appear to be too taxing

Grab Nemos miner and he has precompiled miners in there - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nemosminer-multi-algo-profit-switching-nvidiacpu-miner-1777336
Then use ccminerAlexis78.exe and run the following command:

How taxing in skein, i.e. Does it produce more or less heat than Groestl? Looks like mining DGB with skein could be more profitable...

I got better temps in the case with  1 good fan a bitmain as an exhaust fan
These are  fit 4 easy in a case with 4 good fans




once I replace the red intake  it will be cooler


side view 2 katana 1 asus strix  about 1130 sols  and 375 watts at the kill-a-watt meter

with custom roms, sapphire 470 nitro OC 4gb, hynix memory even 29.XXMH no issues on Windows.
on smos, 27-28MH easily achievable, cool and about 1000w only 6 x cards - for 470 thats quite an achievement.
Thats why the 470 is easily the likely mining card winner and also hard to find.
BBT had tested RX570 doing 168MH on smos on custom roms.

Thanks fella's.

@Jaredkaragen...Great post. I have tried getting Skein working but I couldn't get it going. All the different versions of the software and compiling etc is confusing for a n00b!
Will have another go :^)

what brand/models do you use to achieve stable 28-30MHs with rx470 ?

To be fully stable and avoid rejects, I'm generally closer to 27MHs.

thanks Phil

Those Katana's after much reading are clocked lower but can throttle up when fans speeds up.

The spacing is just sweet - perfect for 4 x Katana rig.

Now if only the 2nd slimmest 1070s are available...

four cards open air



note temps on one card are too high not sure if it is a thermal paste issue



three in a case  with extra fans down to 82C

I think around $200 RX470 is still the best ETH card, best bang for the buck.

With good customs roms, 28-30MHs at 100w, is achievable easy.

 I never saw 28Mh out of my 1070s at anywhere near that low of power usage - but in fairness I never really tried to optimise them for power usage on ETH, and they certainly hit 28.5 (or a bit more on the Gigabyte full-length cards) easily enough.

ms now uses a monthly "roll up" update once a month on win7/10.

on 7 i just tell it to let me know. after a few days with no issues reported on the web it let it update. i do a full image backup 1st though. if something tanks from the update  i restore from backup.

no way to pick and choose what updates you want in 7/10 now, its all or nothing.

as for 10.. well its only on my notebooks and they dont mine. they are on wifi and i set them as metered connections so they cant download and update till i turn that off. same deal, full image backup 1st.

full image backups have saved me mucho problems. use macrium reflect free version.

yiimp is good for skein i use it all the time, my 1070 cna do 540MH in skein not skein 2, which is 460, a 1070 should do 250k satoshi a day there, which is a very good profit now

Heres a few figures:

1070=520Mh
1080=640Mh (if memory serves)

You can do a profitability calculation from the upper right pane in the wallet links provided below.

The first link is the equivalent of about 3x 1070's: Link1
Its 1x 1070, 1x 980, 1x 960, and a gtx 650 that nibbles at LBRY because I have not been to that site to update it in ages.  Every once in a while, my buddy will leave his 1070 mining for me, as well as another machine up north that runs a 960 while in-use at a warehouse.  With the first 3 GPU, and my buddies part-time other 1070;  I've been seeing over $300/mo.



The second link is (by last count, i'm not sure if he's added any more cards) 5x 1080 and 1x 1070: Link 2

The past few days my friend has been having internet connectivity issues (wifi unreliability i think) and it may show some offline time.  It still hasn't run a full 2 months yet at its current hashrate.  He started with a gtx 1070, then planned the full-blown miner and went with 5x 1080, then returned two, but shortly after bought two used in separate instances on CL.  He still wants to fill out that rackminer with its 6th gpu as soon as a 1080 hits CL for a good price again.

In my sig, I have a link to my batch files;  as well in that link a link to my other post with more info and configs for mining on zpool.   If you need any help, LMK. 

Where do you mine Skein? And how much does a 1070/1080/1080ti make a day?
My attempt at miningpoolhub has not been very successful. Even had problems finishing the benchmark.

The 9 series was optimized heavily for neoscrypt cause it was growing on GPU support finally last year.

The optimizations never really got to the 10 series for that algo I believe....   Much better profitability from a 10 series on skein anyways

I use a 60gb ssd from aliexpress, the brand is Kingdian. If you have a proven stable OS, I'm interested.



Interesting. On nicehash profitability calculator, 980ti does 1.00 MH/s, 1080ti only 0.37MH/s. Damn, I need to grab some 980ti. For some reason pascal has nerfed Neoscrypt mining compared to maxwell.

It means 980ti = $12 a day for a $300 card. 1080ti = gtx 960 in neoscrypt. No comment on $1.08/day, maybe display bug.

EDIT: $1.08/day is correct for 442mhs. Maybe display bug for 980ti.
