What are your opinions about 1080ti founders edition? I can choose from Gainward, Asus and Gigabyte.

Also, I could get a close price for palit 1070ti or evga 1080 watercooled? Which one would you choose to build a rig from above (1080ti founder, 1080 watercooled or 1070ti)?? I will do it with risers.

Thanks

RISERS = lots of spacing so you do not need waterblocks

Can someone explain how all those 16 PCIe power connectors on that board are used?

The connectors on the short end are power inputs and the connectors on the long end are outputs??

You got it figured.

So if you're powering a GTX 1080 Ti that uses 250 watts and power is supplied by 2x 8 pin PCIe power connectors, you'd feed the power to the board on the short side. That single lead would give the board the bus power it needs and then the power for the cards would route through the board out the long side connector to a double headed PCIe power lead to the top of the GPU?

I can see how cabling and wire management would be neat and clean. BUT, seems like you'd be pushing a ton of watts through the board as a result.

yeah that makes me nervous too. potentially ~2000 watts if your cards come up at full power due to whatever. are there any published specs on what the upper power limit per card is for this board?

I talked about this on another board like this the k17 you can not run more then 3 1080ti's using the board pass through

so you do the other 5 1080ti direct from the psu to 5 of the 1080ti. and feed 6 cables from the board into 3 1080ti.s

then 3 x 200 please don't set 250 for tdp and some juice in the five slots to the 5 1080ti's means under 1000 watts pass through the board

The Onda boards seem fairly cost efficient. Only issue is cooling but if it's in a server rack style with fans it's a non-issue

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

Genesis Mining switched to using these Onda/Colorful style B250 based motherboards for their latest facility.

You can see the systems they are using near the end of the video - clearly 8GPU riserless systems.
Now I wonder if they are the customers that the new "soldered CPU" boards were built for

Unfortunately it doesn't seems to be enough !
I do it each time I roll back, but it finally end installing the update anyway ... (generally I wake up and see the rig is down, then I check and see the fall creators update is installed Cry

Have you tried setting your connection as metered? That prevents Windows from downloading the updates.

Then again maybe you're past that stage, i.e. it's already downloaded and is just waiting for you to go afk to reinstall it cheekily! Sad

Maybe run the cards direct from the PSU not through the board? If it's like the clone mobos then you can run the pcie to the board with splitters because they're just powering the pcie slots etc.

How does it work for GPUs that require 8+6/8+8 power connections?

You can just bypass those onboard power connections and plug directly into the GPU, correct?

Guys, anyone know how to prevent windows 10 from installing the falls creators update ?
My 4 GPUs rig doesn't work with the update, don't know why, and don't have the time to troobleshoot.
So I have to come back to previous version almost everyday, as the update install itself automatically every day ...
Very annoying.

Go to Windows Button, Right Click > Execute > services.msc > windows update > STOP, and then click on properties and deactivate

I have had clients that ran huge grow ops in Bell Air and would run 10 gauge extension cords throughout - I think the lights only pulled like 1200 watts or something each.

I did a couple tours through some of these mansions and I still can't believe or understand how they would get away with gutting these multi million dollar homes. Rent was 25k-30k on some of these homes and they didn't even hire an electrician to wire things... people amaze me.

Long story short, heavy duty extension cords do work. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but I had these clients for about 8 years doing their financials and they didn't burn down a single house. Luckily.

Only one extension cord that'll bring the 30A 240V connection from the dryer socket adapter to the PDU and it's 10 gauge.

Should be able to run *5* rigs if they are only pulling 1050 watts each.

Extension cords to run a miner = VERY BAD idea, even the heavy-duty ones tend to heat up a lot at the connections.

Only one extension cord that'll bring the 30A 240V connection from the dryer socket adapter to the PDU, no other one other than that; and it's a 10/3 gauge wire. I'm keen on safety too, I don't own the property and my insurance covers only my four wall. Thanks for the advice, will monitor the connection once it's set up and gradually put load on it.
