Interesting, I have prime

When I add this for $173:

I get 2 choices of extended warrtanty:
   - 4 year for 16.10
   - 3 year for $2.44 from squaretrade

I get 3 choices of warranty:
   - 4 year $21.73 from Asurion
   - 4 year $19.52 from square trade
   - 3 year $2.71 from square trade

Much different from both of you.

Yeah, Phil was right, my 4 year coverage for $4.51 including tax is no longer available (someone must have caught on pretty quick). But SquareTrade 3 year coverage for $2.44 is available as of right now. I've emailed Phil the links for verification.

My own experience with SquareTrade via eBay, and YMMV, is that they do not require a return and they don't pursue the RMA route, they just pay out on the claim. So $2.44 seems like a no-brainer if you need the PSU anyways.

If you are in the market for 1600 watt PSU, the Bitmain APW3++ PSUs are available on Amazon. And here is the interesting thing: you can buy a 4 year warranty for... $4.15, or a $1 a year to insure your PSU.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075QN6V9W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Normally, these aftermarket warranties are a rip-off. But I like the this one.

Not accurate so I deleted it

prices are based on gear price so for the antminer psu it costs more like 16-18 bucks not 4

Okay to be clear I deleted the post because it reads the warranty is only$4.15

When I check the link and the warranty price I got $16.00

I believe the warranty is based on price of gear. So it may have erred and not r0mi but as far as I can tell the 4 year warranty will cost about $16 not $4.

Very low maintenance, ever since I added automatic restart scripts on a 24 hour interval and watchdog scripts to restart and log automatically whenever it notices 0% GPU use or network disconnection. I take a little hit while it restarts though.

Care to share more about these scripts? I'd find that very helpful. Thanks!

One of my z220 sff came a very good Xeon CPU but 3 slots as you said.

It is really good for running moonlander usb sticks or sidehack 2 pac

Yeah once I installed the HP Z210, it's been rock stable. I expected problems due to their proprietary nature, but had to see if it would work for my purpose. I would say the only issues I had are the ones I've caused Grin

Those newer HP Z220 are quickly flooding into the used PC market, so I'm sure they'll be very cheap whenever these become old and unusable.

Otherwise uptime has been very good for Windows. Very low maintenance, ever since I added automatic restart scripts on a 24 hour interval and watchdog scripts to restart and log automatically whenever it notices 0% GPU use or network disconnection. I take a little hit while it restarts though.

Question to the SMos users: how do you set back up pools ?

I run to nicehash. They have 99% up time.

I do have other pools set but I would need to set manually.

I do have a warning from nicehash if they go down. They had 10-15 minutes down time since they re opened.

I don't sweat 15 minutes a month.

Coins dropped to 7600 usd today on coinbase. I almost decided to buy 1.

Hi guys,

I recently bought 6 GTX 1080ti as follows:
2 Palit Jetstream
4 Palit Gamerock Premium Edition

The Gamerock editions are better cooled thanks to their dual fans (totally 4 fans).
I'm using SMOS and I'm currently running with +50core, +300 mem and 225W for Gamerock and +150core, +500mem and 225W for Jetstream edition.
Equihash gives me around 4350 sols, around 710-730 per gpu.

Those are my first 1080's. In your opinion over time, how is it?
If I go to 200 or under 200W, sols are around 680-700 per gpu.

Thanks

All of the 1080 ti cards I have will do 700-720 hash/sec at 200 watts, +100 core +100 mem, using ebwf.
Sample size is small though - 3 x Gigabyte Aorus (NOT the extreme), 1 x EVGA SC "black", 1 x Asus Turbo, 1 x Gigabyte "Windforce".

Above 200 is where the "lower cooling capability" cards start noticeably losing hashrate vs the better cooled cards.

150 watts more or less seems to be the "best efficiency" point at 620 hash more-or-less for slightly better than 4.1 efficiency - and all of my cards show the SAME hashrate within measurement error range at 150 or at 175 watts.

Mem clock setting probably varies depending on where the "stock" clocks are set at as to what works best.

I've not done as much "ringing out" on fine tuning on my 1080 ti cards as on some of my other cards though - YET.

yeah test with watts and keep the ram core steady

Quint is correct that 200 plus and cards will fade

my best cards are my msi water blocks

I have 11 of these
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-gfx-gtx-1080-ti-liquid-cooled-graphics-card

and 1 of these

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-6598-KR

in a magical world that always goes my way Grin

I would have a few hundred of them on racks like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIxWgv-rsuE

six to a rack same onda mobo

using this psu

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/ax1600i-digital-atx-power-supply-1600-watt-fully-modular-psu-na

set them to 195 watts a card about 1250 watts a rig doing 4200 sols

I would want a 2 acre solar array allowing about 60kwatt per hour
of which I would run 30 rigs leaving overhead. for the home I owned ion the same land.

the 30 rigs would pull 126,000 sols which nets to 750 usd a day .

or 271k a year.

Hi guys,

Great thread and amazing knowledge.

So, I bought one of the ONDA B250 MoBos from Sidonia at Letine:

https://leiqing.en.alibaba.com/product/60707942149-803390961/China_New_Top_Sell_Bitcoins_Mining_Motherboard_With_12_PCIE_Ports_B250_Chipset_Intel_Manufacturer.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.89.3.36b10622hDun4L

I recieved the board yesterday.

It's not working. I used the same steps I used with many other motherboards. (NOTE: Except for the RAM, the components listed below work well on my Biostar B250 12 GPU motherboard.) Here are the steps:

1. I installed the following components:

PSU: CORSAIR HXi Series HX1200i
CPU: Intel Core I3-7100 Kaby Lake Dual-Core Processor Socket LGA 1151, 3.9GHz
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200 Model F4-2400C16S-4GRS)
GPU: 1 x EVGA 1060 SC
SDD: 120 Gb SDD with Windows 10

2. I attached the GPU to my monitor with an HDMI cable.

3. I booted the system. Nothing happened. The monitor was completely black. I mean there was no BIOS screen or anything to see.

4. I tried it with SMOS (Simple Mining Operating System). Again, It did not post.

5. I replaced the CPU with a G4400. It didn't solve the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this?
How did you resolve it?

Thx,

Howard

Did you try the motherboard HDMI output? It might need this first boot then you can access bios to configure the gpu as primary video.

So, I went to my nearest computer store and bought various RAM used by others through out this thread. The first one I tested solved the problem. It is:

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Laptop Memory Model F4-2133C15S-8GRS

Also the motherboard I have is a different version:

ONDA B250 D8P-D4

It's been running for 2 hours now. I'm using 8 x EVGA 1060 SCC GPUs. They're too long for the first slot. So I have that one on a riser.

The rig is in my basement. So no extra cooling has been added and temps are ranging from 55 - 70. The one on n the riser is running at 50 C.

All in all, seems like a decent board.

Look at the bottom right of my photo:

Connector FP1. It has a bunch of markings on it.

four pins are for the LED's (HDD and PWR), and 4 pins are power and reset switches.

Just try em out. You'll figure out which is which.

Usually Red is HD LED, Green is PWR LED, Blue is RST SW, and other is PWR SW..... *usually*

The little + denotes which is each positive pin.

try 190 watts meter the watts against sols

try 195 watts meter the watts against sols

try 200 watts meter the watts against sols

try 205
try 210
try 215
try 220
try 225

use dsmt
use ebwf

I have 3 rigs with six 1080 tis I like 195 watts and dsmt best

I'm using ewbf, didn't tried dstm, I will give it a try tonight.

You're saying I should try playing with watts from 190 till 225 and see where I'm getting the best efficiency?
It does matter if I change the core and mem when playing with the watts? Or should I keep the settings posted previously and just play with the watts?

Thanks for advices. As I said before, I'm having ATI and Nvidia 1060 rigs, and it's my first 1080ti.

The two pins that I can connect a power button. The only button I can see the BIOS reset button which restarts the CPU but also resets the BIOS to default.

The Onda D1800 is configured from the factory to boot automatically when power is applied; perhaps the B250 is configured similarly. Did you try doing that?

Otherwise, the pin header for the usual power switch, power LED, reset switch, HDD LED should be located in the corner near the ATX 24 pin connector.

my onda b250 d8p v1 has this pinout for the front panel header. i assume the other onda mobos have the same pinout and colors.

Green - Power LED
Red - HD LED
Blue - Reset Switch
Black - Power Switch

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I tried that too as that worked for me when my BIOSTAR was giving me a hard time. I still get nothing.

I also cleared the CMOS to re-set the BIOS to default as that had worked on various other boards for me.

Maybe I need 8 gigs of RAM?
