Woohoo, found a 1080 Ti on craigslist that he is letting go for $600, that will complete my first Nvidia rig which now has...
1080 Ti
1080
1080
1070
Now I just need to properly tune them, hoping to pull 2000 sol/s with this rig.

So will Afterburner will work on non-MSI cards?
I got the itch. Going to order/CL some other 1070,1080,1080ti to fill out this PSU/rig.

and if it does not zotac has a nvidia only that works

Sometimes if you mix and match cards msi afterburner takes the power % away.
Since 65-75% settings save a lot of power you can use the zotac instead. So far that never stopped me at setting 65-75% power
Since I sold the pandaminer and 26 of 34 amd cards my setup did not involve much out of pocket. Since power is lower by 1000 watts I save on heat cooling and power costs.
I now have
2 amd cards at the solar array
6 amd card in the garage
9 nvidia cards in the garage
2 nvidia cards on the way
every 16 days I payoff a nvidia 1080 ti based on 44 usd a day earned after power cost
so of the seven 1080 ti's that I have one of them is already paid for.
this allows me to keep on doing the fast turnover of cards at good discounts.
For now I will mine a bit and talk with buysolar about the array and how much we move out of my garage into the array.
During the June 1 to Oct 1 time period I need to be at 500 watts or less in the garage. So what I can't fit in the array will be sold off.
As the garage will have 2 small gpu rigs a few sticks from sidehack. I will miss the pretty lites. Until October comes by.
hey Phil... regarding your summer pare-down of rigs/GPUs... I think you said you do it because your electricity rates nearly double in the summer, correct? This makes sense in previous years but with the huge upswing in the price of Alts the last few months, wouldn't you still be pretty profitable with your rigs even pay 2x for electricity?
For instance, you said you are currently at about 16 days to ROI a 1080ti... so even if your rates are 2x in the summer, wouldn't that still mean you could ROI them in about a month? Maybe I'm missing something (probably something to do with your solar array) but I couldn't figure it out... unless maybe it's also a heat/safety issue. I am personally wondering what will happen to me in the summer. My rates don't increase and it rarely gets above 80-85 here in Oregon, but my house's A/C isn't exactly powerful so wondering how hot it's going to get before I have to consider turning off rigs on occasion. Currently, I have 1 each in my garage, den, dining area, and 1 upstairs bedroom. I would consider moving 1 or more to the garage but it has zero ventilation unless i open the garage door, so I doubt that would be a solution.
I think it is mainly due to the heat. But I think he can also undervolt a lot to save more energy.

Already a fourth thread ? Ah, I learnt so many thing following your threads that it is a pleasure for me to take a look at this new one that will go with my mining life for some time.
Anyway, I would like to gather your opinions on the RX 570. Is it really a game changer ? Surprisingly it is cheaper than RX 470, maybe because it offer less performances ?

Based on what I've read from user experiences, as well as seeing a couple of benchmarking videos on youtube, 570/580s are not only most certainly not game-changers, but are actually less effective from a hash-rate/wattage ratio. I think the 580s are the worst as they consume a lot of extra power but barely provide any additional hash-rate. Seems like a really stupid move by AMD... EOLing the 400 series to release essentially the same performance that uses more power. I guess they are banking big on the gaming community getting sucked into these since I'm pretty sure most miners aren't going to go crazy over them. I still need to get a hold of a couple of MSI 470s but now they are getting even tougher to find.
I'm waiting on a couple of 1080 ti FE's to come in today/tomorrow 
In the mean time I've settled on the following for my EVGA 1060 6GB SSC card in my main work/gaming PC:
Power target: 61%
Temp target: 90C
GPU offset: +90
Mem offset: +900
Fan target: 45%
Clocks are at ~1900 core and 9600 memory and this nets me ~310 sol/s @ 90W which ends up being around 3.4 Sol/W
The temperature is right around 67C and the fan noise is very quiet
The best thing is I can just work away, watch videos etc. and I barely even notice that it's mining

Is anyone CPU and gpu mining on the same rigs? I tried it, but my gpu driver kept crashing because the cpu couldn't do both. Have 4gb ram only though. Could that be the problem?
Try leaving 1 core free for gpu mining. Eg: CPU mine with only 1 core if you're using pentium/celeron, or 3 core for i5,i7.

i3 intel or better should work

Hmm, finally got around to setting up my Nvidea rig, had two 1080's and a 1070 sitting around for about a week and it hurt to not see them mining.
Started with the 1080 founders edition, and am getting right around 500 hashes, but the card quickly jumped up to 80 C. Does that seem normal?

Did you set power to 65-75%?
Manually set fan to 75%
All my cards are under 75c
Is that done through MSI afterburner?
I have an EVGA and their driver has a great GUI to control nvidia 1080 and 1080ti. The temp will jump fast till you manually set the fan speed to a minimum of 75% depending on temp where your rig is.
I'm planning to build compact 1080ti's rig
Do we need VGA dummy for every rig so i can set any oc flawlessly, or it will work without it?

and if the tdp won't work try the zotac clock tool the link is a few posts above this one

Yes, and it should work with any brand of cards. (Thanks Phil)

I'll be keeping an eye out for your sale thread then. I'd love to play with some NVIDIA cards.

Finally got my first nVidia rig up and running last night. Where is a good guide on how to tweak it, or is it best kept stock? Will be mining ZEC (or derivative).
use msi afterburner
set power to 75%
core to 100+
memory to 300+
fan 75% manual
work from there
1080 ti will do 600 to 720 depends on how much you push it
1080 will do 480 to 525 " " "
1070 will do 410 to 440 " " "
1060 will do 310 to 330 " " "
All of them will do better the 3 h per watt at the wall when you use 65% to 75% power limits.
I loaded 378.78 drivers
I use EWBF software.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ewbfs-cuda-zcash-miner-1707546
I like how the garage looks at night
this is a 1 card 1080 ti bottom right on the left is a 3 card ti
here are the msi afterburner settings
642 h
settings and miner data
bat file I point to nicehash
3.3b mining folder
nicehash it is my nvidia4 blue highlite
it will flux from 550 to 750 on nicehash
Finally got my first nVidia rig up and running last night. Where is a good guide on how to tweak it, or is it best kept stock? Will be mining ZEC (or derivative).
