'The right to privacy matters'
Hello guys, I would like to share how it's going with my setup since you been really great for me as indicator to what to do or not.

By now I've got 3 nvidia GTX 1080 TI and a nvidia GTX 970.

And here's a screenshot how my ZCash miner it's going.

After much testing I've got this results and since here power bills are kinda expensive I don't go full power, but instead I went looking for a good Sols/W rate.




Does anyone know why always the last GPU does have better Sol/W rate? I've done a lot of testing and it's always happening to me. I don't know the reason but always the last card on the rig does consume like 10% less power doing the same hashrate. Check if it's happening to you also.
Of course all NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI are sharing the same settings.

If you got some tips to improve Sol/W, or lower power consumption from other components please share them Smiley

I will check, what miner are you using? I don't know how to get that efficiency table with ewbf-zec

What settings are you using on your 1080ti? Looks like you have TDP down quite a bit but still getting good sol/s



damn  give us your setting on the   1080 ti  those are good.


--pec  at  the end of your .bat file

shows power on ewbf


There is.




For me overclocking memory clock didn't make any difference at all, so I keep it at 0.

If you're gonna make changes and use them CLOSE YOUR MINER FIRST. Otherwise it would hang up your pc and you would need to reboot.

Fan speed can be left at 50% without much change on temp, atleast for me. Remind that less power means less heat.

This settings haven't been used for a long time, they have been working for me only three days since I finally found them, but as far I can say are stable. I been doing so much testing since as I said here power bills are kinda expensive so I rather try to find the best performance than going full power.

No modifications on ROM we're made.
Also left the resolution screen at 800x600 (at minium) in case it would make any minimal difference...

Hope it helps for you.

Your settings improved my watt to sols to around 3.9 - 4.1

Vs 3.75 or so.

Overall I dropped from 8.7 amps to 8.4 amps at 240 volts. This is a drop of 72 watts

Cool thanks for sharing, will definitely be testing this when I get back to my rigs!

hello girls and boys,
i have three questions
is there a way to make afterburner show power limit in watts?
also, how to make sure that W10 creators update does not install drivers automagically?
does System-advanced system settings-hardware-device installation settings DEFINITELY work?
and how does un-activated W10 behave, apart from "not activated" warning in lower right corner? is it still usable for mining purposes?
thanks.

I wish we could get and answer for that it would mean a lot if there's something on our hand to do and apply to other cards.

To answer your question why that card is better is because you won what we call a silicon lottery
You got lucky and got a card that can perform better than the rest

My AR-15 ID's itself as a toaster. Want breakfast?
FWIW I have used ribbon risers before.

As long as they have their own power cable to power them, id say they are useable.

They aren't for systems that will see lots of movement or be taken apart a lot....  They are very fragile compared to the typical powered risers.

@Phil, One of my Diamond RX480 ref cards died. Sent it back, they got it yesterday, checked it out, and sent new one out today. Pretty good turnaround.
And sure appreciate you handling the escrow for me!

@phil
i really like the two card design you have going on. reminds of the milk crates miners back in the day

are you equihash only now? or is that because you have mostly nvidia now?

Wood rigs cheap and easy to make and are great if you never have a burn out.

So good psu's and don't tax them at 90%

good risers
good wires.

and great fans to cool the gear down.

lastly do not run the gpus pedal to the metal.

look here  two gpu rigs only 4 cards  as I am finalizing my solar array with buysolar for the next 5 months

I added this one today.
the silver is a fire barrier as it works in car engines .
it is a wind tunnel
it also sound proofs
I added the 2 gpu one

here it is hashing but not maxed  clocks  


put it on the car before I drove it to the array



and in the array running.  the array will add a few more gpu rigs and 1 s-7 three avalon's 721's and ⅓ of a s-9

Have you guys found using wood rig frames has any affect on room cooling vs using aluminum frames or whatever?

I dont have a ton of rigs but I dont think something like this would really matter. Best answer to this is to look into the thermal conductivity of the type of material your rig frame is built from.

K Value (therm cond)

Aluminum = 205
Wood = 0.12-0.4

So obviously the thermal conductivity of the aluminum is much much better. The wood will retain more heat and swell much more than than the aluminum however it is not electrically conductive (mostly Wink)

Probably more important in the wood vs aluminum debate is thermal expansion. Linear growth coefficient for aluminum is about 23 and for wood it can vary from 54 to 27. So wood rigs will "swell" more than the aluminum frames.

Aluminum rig Pros:
Frame strength
Corrision resistance
Better thermal properties

Cons:
Electrically conductive
More expensive
Harder to make


Wood Frame Pros:
Cheap to make
More simple to customize
Won't conduct electricity

Cons:
Will expand and contract more
Can rot, bugs, absorb moisture
Could catch fire

I'm a cheap skate so I go wood build and have always used this guide because I can make them in 20 min.

What I like about the GTX9, is you could use full ribbon risers to have a clean rig with space.
my ? are ribbon risers better then power risers?Huh

That should be GT9. I had GTX 1080 Ti on my mind. Grin
                   ribbon riser = bad
                   powered risers = good





Another ?. when the Vega comes out, would it be better to use a AMD mobo, or a intel Huh?

don't know as  a high end  AMD cpu = $$$   but it may  mine xmr well  as the vega mines zec or eth


Another ?. I'm looking at the GTX 1080 Ti. The price range from 1 fan (lowest) to 3 fans (highest).
If you factor in spacing, can you benefit by 1 fan. or am I missing something?Huh

so far I think I like  msi aero  1 fan cards

founder edition 1 fan   are not as good.

I have 1 3 fan  gigabyte aorus  it is too wide.

BTW  please do not multi post 2 or 3 or more in a  row.  I deleted them for space.

Thanks again for putting the need for spacing into perspective - the GT6 board would be ideal with enough spacing; its cheaper too - thanks Phil
