What model MSI boards are those?
What model MSI boards are those?
some pizza boxes arrived finally . . .
OP got yr msg, let me check on my current stock.
shipping to USA is fast, if you are free to post up some pix of them & see who else wants to join & do a group buy ? well if you have the time, shipping time is the same & sve on shipping too. it's entirely up to you.

I already asked that question - but did not get a clear answer.
Is it possible to modify BIOS for 1080ti card using the same tools as for RX 480? Can be that BIOS flashed with the same tools as we are doing with RX 480?

No but the guy to ask is wolf0 he is one of the flashing experts.
or ask elovip
I will check with Eliovp - thank you!
Phil,
the biostar tb85 will work for sure; use the ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85 image
if any of these mobos don't OC a card let me know and I will get one myself and provide a fully supported image for it.
biostar b150s1 ( try the ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85 image )
biostar z170gt7 ( try the ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85 image ) no go with z270 stick
gigabyte b250m-gaming 3 ( try the MSI Z270-A PRO image ) no go with z270 stick
gigabyte aorus z270 ( try the MSI Z270-A PRO image )
gigabyte ga270-hd3 ( try the MSI Z270-A PRO image )
Edit: also v0014 is for USB keys only, it will NOT autoboot an SSD or HDD.
IMO USB keys are easier to build and deploy plus are (usually) significantly cheaper. If you use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-JumpDrive-16GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00S5V5PMY it is also fast enough to even use the GUI with ease.
I now use the lexar usb keys on all my rigs and have a stack of unused SSDs and M2s waiting to be made into a burst or storj or sia rig.

I get it to boot and it hangs right after first screen with choices I let it go to 16.05 then it hangs
Which mobo is this; and what are all the other components of the rig?
I used a 1070 just 1 card.
I used a 32 gb sandisk usb 3 it works well for smos so I wrote over the 0014 version
I used the gigabyte b250m gaming 3 mobo
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145007
it can do up to 4 cards
I used an evga 750 p2 psu
1 stick of ddr4 ram 4gb
I used a monitor connected via the nvidia and a usb mouse and a usb keyboard.
the screen came up
1 unbutu
2 advanced
3 memtest
4 memtest
5 win 10 dev
I waited it went to unbutu 16.04 and hung
this unit has an intel i3 6100 cpu
I will test with a new mobo and an intel i5 7500

Just did a little testing with 2 x 1080 ti Founder Editions 
Power limit - 80%
Core clock - default
Memory clock +800
Fan speed - 70%
Those settings land me around 1771 core / 11610 memory and 530W at the wall for ~36.7 Mh/s per card
This system is a Supermicro motherboard with dual Xeon 2670 CPU's and 128GB ram, so system power is pretty high.
ZEC and other coins give far better results at considerably less power
For instance I can get ~1050 sol/s for only 370W at the wall, which is ~4.2 sol/W

1050 sol / 370w with one card?
2 x 1080ti Founder Editions as low as they can go at 50% power efficiency
You can do even better at the wall with a socket 1151 system, because I was using 2 x CPU's etc.
Is it possible to run amd And NVIDIA cards on the same rig ?
Yes - but in general the machine will end up being somewhat less stable than running a "pure" rig one way or the other.
Easy to do on Windows 7 or 10 (almost the ONLY think Windows does better than LINUX), can be done under LINUX but the installation of drivers is a bit more complicated.
So if I have a rig with 5x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X DirectX 12 100363VX-3L 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X WITH BOOST (UEFI) Video Card
I want to add another card to this rig, I am planning to mine zcash with it --- I want to add the most effective card to this rig, what would everyone suggest?
Buy a kill-a-watt meter and see how much power you are pulling on the rig.
those cards pull heavy power.
Let us know the watts you use at the meter
Let us know the hashrate you have
Let us know your power cost.
I may suggest buy no more cards until you sell off some of the r9 280x cards.
I would like to give you correct advice.

Any experience with 1060 Zotac or evga mini single fan? Contemplating between that or evga gaming dual fan. Seems like the obvious choice would be a dual fan card unless blower style but maybe they use less power.
zotac 1060 mini 6gb card is pretty good I rna it for 20 days and then returned it to amazon as I don't have room for lots of mobos and cards.
In a world of magic where I get all the gear I want all the time I would have a few hundred of these mobos
at least one dozen of the boards would have 8 zotac 1060 minis

I think I may have just picked out my first GPU mining gear purchase, Phil. Thanks for the info! Room isn't an issue for me. Got 2500 sq ft just costing me money right now.
$90 after rebate Edit: supports 6x GPUs
MSI Z270-A PRO (in stock: 5 per customer at Newegg; also at Amazon)
I added a second nvOCv0014 image which fully supports this motherboard.
Example rig; 1.02 $/hash (hash in sol/s) or less: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18903759

Okay I have a lot of mobos
does your os support

I have all of the above on hand
I have this mobo on the way
biostar tb85
http://www.ebay.com/itm/381737915980?
I want to test your os in any or all of the above.
you have an hp gpu am i correct?
if you do it is a custom bios and may not work like a standard 1080.
did you load msi afterburner and try to use that?
also zotac has a tweaker
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/zotac-firestorm-download.html
I would try msi afterburner 4.3
with
75% power
100+ core
300+ memory
75% manual fan
then try the same settings with zotac firestorm.

Looks like I have 5 HP, 1 ASUS, 1 EVGA. They look the EXACT same.
I tried looking up supported clocks for each card and I got the same thing.
Okay then the hp bios could be in conflict with the evga program .
load msi afterburner 4.3 and try to set each gpu with
75% tdp
100+ core
300+ ram
75% manual fan.
this means you don't check the synch gpu on afterburner
you need to understand it may not be the hp gpu but you have 7 gpus that are mixed and this can cause a conflict in the software you are trying to use.
BTW trying to run 7 cards can be very hard.
trying to run 7 cards mixed can be impossible.
trouble shooting can be next to impossible
in fact you could have 1 riser that is weak and it causes the conflict.
5 hp
1 asus
1 evga
is complex.

just wondering if your Linux OS is a good candidate to be integrated in Tytanick's smOS ?
I am testing your OS soon standalone - looking fwd to it
I am testing your OS soon standalone - looking fwd to it
I don't want anyone to have to pay to use nvOC, now; or in the future. Running a website does have overhead costs, and requires maintenance; so I can understand why Tytanick is planning on eventually charging a small fee (especially with the number of smOS users; demanding resources from his server or instance).
I have already had members request farm management tools and local stats / web management. I will probably make an application users can run on a single computer on their lan to get stats / push updates from. Then maybe, I will make a website like smOS. I am guessing that most members who run a farm would be able to ssh / vnc / rdp ect... into a single rig running the stats/push application on their lan to remote monitor and push changes to rigs; so there isn't really a need for a website anyway: however maybe I am completely wrong with that assumption. You can probably give me solid feedback on that.
imho even us small miners would like an OS like smOS that would run both AMD and Nvidia that we can access from work, travel, etc. Thanks
well if it comes down to 2 os's 1 for nvidia and 1 for amd that would be good enough for me.
I am drifting into too many nvidia and not enough amd.
I need to stop buying the nvidia and wait to see if vega is a good card.
I agree with Phil
Having to run two os isn't a problem at all
I'm sure smos will have nvidia support sometime
But for now you have my support
I'm trying to force P0 and then use power limiting to manage power.
1. I can't see my supported clocks
2. Nvidia Inspector is not setting it correctly
