We ordered one of the Octominer 8 GPU motherboards today, hopefully the GPUs we pre ordered will arrive before the motherboard does. I'm not sure yet what we'll do for a frame, so it may just be the old pizza box 'n coat hangers ghetto rig at first. :p

Wow, I just checked out that Autominer on their website... looks really enticing although not sure about investing that much on lower-end GPUs.  Since I was already looking at building a 570 rig, the AMD option looks interesting, but if they are using 4GB cards, again, not really great for future-proofing.  I would maybe take 1-2 4GB 570s on a personally built 7 or 8x 570 rig but really looking to build it mostly with the 8GB variety.  I will shoot them an email to confirm 4 or 8, unless anyone here already knows that.

Like I said I have  them in hand gently used at a very fair price.

evga 1070 ti hybrid

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-5678-KR

559.99 + 29.99 =  589.98  that was my cost for them.

I will sell

1 for 615 
2 for 1200

BTC or LTC to the lower 48 states.

I am looking to sell them to make room for the  beast

$989 for a 1070ti lol is there any roi in that price?

they have a ton in stock but its madness to pay asic prices for a gpu

you can find vega frontiers for 900ish and titan xp star wars ed for 1100
both better buys imo , at least they are closer to msp

gona grab another titan xp and two more frontiers i think next week

I have a 4 vega build , 2 frontiers 2 56 flashed to 64 and with power play mod and undervolt
39 eth 700 pascal around 160 watts

Ton in stock? I saw the sign for 1070Ti for $989 but the whole locked cabinet was empty. The Orange County Microcenter I just got back from has nothing except a few 1030s, some 750Tis (can't believe they still have these), some 550s and 460s.

Basically not a single card with a PCIe connector.  Good going nVidia/AMD - they created a monopoly for distribution channels.

Yeah, this is really a crazy situation. Again, both AMD & Nvidia's demand forecasters severely screwed up and now the entire world (well, at least of miners and gamers lol) is feeling it.  I've had a couple of close calls the past 2 days... was within seconds of getting another Asus 1070ti advanced edition from newegg for $549 but just missed it, now sold out again for who knows how long.  Also got a notification for MSI 570 Gaming for $300 but it was the 4gb version so I didnt pull the trigger right away, then thought twice 5 minutes later, but that was probably 4.5 minutes too late lol.

As to retailers like Microcenter engaging in price-gouging... I am highly against that.  I don't have a big issue with nominal increases in times like this (similar to what newegg sometimes does) but 2x is insane! I don't have a huge issue with actual people trying to sell at 2-3x retail... heck, I am most likely going to sell my 3 Vega 56's on ebay for about $1k each... but retailers should not be engaged in this kind of gouging imo.

@bubbajo - thanks I ordered one, btw how do you control the fan speed with these since there is no speed knob

That unit isn't adjustable AFAIK.  Fan speed would have to be controlled via BIOS I guess?
ok ill pass on those

There are plenty of 1050ti online, but I guess they are not attractive for mining. I secured 8 x 1060 the other day on Amazon but I ended up canceling because $285+tax = 313.5 I think it's too expensive for a 1060. It's wait and see now, hard to buy anything.

Well Microcenter has determined they are the holy gatekeepers now and jacked all their prices by nearly 2x and are limiting cards to 1 model type per household to "protect the gamers" - Sheesh.

How the hell can we get new GPUs at this point?

 Very slowly, sneaking in orders as you can when you catch a card restocked.

 If it wasn't for Bitpay and their ISSUES I'd have managed to pick up 4 so far this month, instead of 2 and 2 "messed up payments didn't go through because THEIR system is broken".

Well their "deal" now is that if you do an ENTIRE "build your own PC" build with them.. they'll "discount" the card to the normal price. But you're still limited to just 1.

You buy from a reseller like me

and they are 50-80 days of gentle use.

Now you know why I don't bust them wide open as I wait for gpu shortages  and sell at a markup  but not a fuck you price.

one of these  for 615 ltc ot btc  shipped to any state (not Hawaii or Alaska )

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-5678-KR

2 shipped for 1200  ltc or btc


my prices are far lower then anyone else.

and if you want to expand  I have 2 with your name on them Grin
It may come to that.. but I want AMD cards, not nVidia cards!  Grin

how are you controlling case fans on the ONDA 8 gpu board ?

I got two fan header splitters and have 4 140mm maglev fans on the board , actualy i want to do six with splitters eventually

I noticed some of the fans are not spinning at max speed I have two in the back blowing towards to front , and two in front set up as exhaust fans

how do you set the fans to to basically go at max speed or at least 80%

these are PWM fans btw

i just used a 4 channel fan controller powered from a molex.

if all you want is 100% they make molex to pwm adapters that should run your fans at 100%, but a quick search shows they are kinda pricey for what you get.
https://m.newegg.com/products/9SIACJF64S3550

something like that? $15 though kinda pricy , but the cheapest i could find

this would allow me to set all the fans to say 80 percent right?

yes something along those lines, something with a rotary control to set speed.

cant comment on that particular one (the spelling is crazy bad and that doesnt inspire confidence) but thats the idea. set anywhere from off to 100% manually.
sounds good thanks

 DSTM is widely reported to be faster, but it's not ALWAYS so.
 Test for yourself, which is faster seems to be dependent on a lot of factors, including model of card, GPU, and even SETTINGS for the card.

 It also has a fixed non-changeable 2% fee where EWBF fee can be configured lower - which often makes up for any speed improvement on the DSTM side where it has any.


 Not saying don't try it - just don't take "it's faster" as a given, TRY IT YOURSELF on your own cards and configuration.





I agree with this, test both first.  From my experience using both EWBF and DSTM I find my pool reported hashspeed to be 4-6% faster, and more stable using DSTM so I use it over EWBF.  I found EWBF uses less power and has a lower hashrate because it doesnt utilize my 1070's as well as DSTM.  I can dial in a better sols per watt with DSTM.
