and sticking in an ssd that I do not need.

this one appeals more to me

it may do 7 and you can start with 3 cards in slots earn money and add risers later.

Im liking that board better personally. Most of the time, if you go over 3-4 GPU, you'll want risers and better spacing anyways.

If I buy a newer generation board, I may go after that one....

this is very good does five with a mix of slots and risers it is low cost 108 rebates drop it under 100

It most likely does six I have been lazy and not tested six. but 3 asus strix and 2 msi gamer rx 480's all 8gb running zec at 1500 sols using smOS pretty much perfectly

yeah the 1080 ti can push 4 sols a watt

tdp or power can drop to 50%

once you go over 75% the sols to watts drop a lot

They all have different sweet spots..

I have

3 msi 1080 ti aero https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137115 my favorite one so far

3 zotac 1080 ti founders https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500415 okay same as the pny
1 pny 1080 ti founders https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133648
1 aorus 1080 ti 3 fan https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125954 big card 3 slots wide

1 zotac 1080 mini does 140 watts and 500h
1 asus 1070 strix does 110 watts and 410h
1 msi 1070 gamer does 110 watts and 410h

I have a msi 1060 3gb gamer it was cheap it comes today https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137033 180 after rebate I had coupon so 170

Hi Phil,
Any specific reason you favor Aero over Aorus? any insight will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
BLife

@
BLife it is a true 2 slot card the aorus is a 3 slot card since most of my gear is slot based not riser based the aorus is harder to fit.

@ citronick that board looks pretty good my findings on the z270 gigabyte boards show me 5 cards are easy peasy never got around to testing six.

that board has spacing issues compare it to the z170

not so easy to do 4 galax katana 1070 with proper spacing

easy peasy four galax katana 1070's for the z170 and I have 5 or six on hand

I guess I might have a slight problem.

If you are undervolting, try to increase the voltage.
If you are overclocking, reduce it.

Try with almost stock settings, memory error should be in a way smaller order of magnitude (<1000/minute)

Phil..... can you spare a few coins to test this baby out?

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138439

Biostar RACING Z270-GT9

6 slots !

This could be a nice board for the 1080ti or array of 1070s

I was all amd I shifted to mostly nvidia

making 50 bucks a day so every 14 days I pay off 1 1080ti

so far 3 1080 ti"s are paid for.

Not sure how long the roll will last but just 28 more days means 5 1080 ti's will be paid for.

with BTC this high.... my group's mining ROI became even faster.... so I expanded to a 2nd GPU farm.

So a few of these MSI GTX 1080 TI AERO 11G OC GAMING https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1080-AERO-11G/dp/B06XXGNZB3 would be a fine setup or would getting a few more 470/80 be better long run do you guys think?

my guess is if you have a lot of amd a few nvidia should be okay.

if you have a lot of nvidia a few rx 470/480 should be okay

basically my guess is have a foot in both camps.

That is the way it was looking, a moved my budget from 2k to 3k and thinking I might double my setup count. One AMD based possible with a mining OS as it has a fast ROI, and can do eth which I see is still holding strong. The other nvidia, half for good resale should that be needed and half to put more hash rate coins they accelerate at mining.

Questions about Stratum Proxy

1. I am currently running 35 GPUs on 5 machines. All dual mining at nicehash with claymore. Would I benefit from setting up a stratum proxy?
2. I have 2 L3+s, pointed at zpool and nicehash. Would I benefit from a stratum proxy?

I think the main benefit with the L3+s Proxy would being able to switch pools without using the web interface which resets the machines and is a pain.

Anyone ever faced GPUs dying due to risers ?

Since a month, I had 3 GPUs died on two rigs. The two rigs are identicals.
I changed the PSUs and the GPU's after 2 death , and the only remaining parts were Mobos and risers.
And then the 3rd died.
So I think the risers could be the cause.

These are risers with PCI-e 6 pins power. (1 month old)
What is weird is everything is working perfectly, and some time I notice the rig is down, and after reboot I see one GPU not working (not recognised , no fan spin) ...

lower clocks you dual mine if I recall stop it on 1 rig and see if the risers last.

the weird part of the story is that these 2 rigs are not dual mining.
And the clocks are not very high.. 1100/1880 and -100mv (for rx470s 4gb)
This is god settings, never got any trouble on others RIGs. Temps and fans are low.
The last GPU that died was 1 day old !
There is something really strange with the 2 rigs.. I have to find it, as it is a very expensive trouble.

2 questions

a. do you use custom roms for your 470?

b. what motherboard and using powered risers?

Yes custom roms , tested and approved on many rigs since 6 months without any trouble except the two rigs. I don't think the rom is the cause.

MB is H81 pro BTC for both, and all risers are powered by PCI-e 6 pins. (much better than SATA or Molex .... theorically ... as none of my GPUs ever died with the SATA and Molex ones ...)

my h81 had issues like yours i believe it was on power up just like you said.

the mobo is in a box It killed 2 psus

Version 0.3.3b.

EWBF's Zcash cuda miner.
Expected speeds 435 sols/s gtx1070. 295 gtx1060 6G. Stock settings.
Writen for pascal gpus but works on cards with at least 1Gb memory, and Compute Capability 2 and higher.
Miner contain dev fee 2%.
I will support a miner if people will be interested in it.
Sorry for my bad english Sad

Version 0.3.3b

Added option --pec power efficiency calculator.
Added option --fee developer fee control.
Use miner --help command for more information.

Version 0.3.2b
Increased speed up to 2%, depends on card model. some cards not give any speed changes.
Reduced gpu memory usage.
Improved stability.
