1080ti ________empty______empty _____1080ti ____empty ____ mini 1080

I believe this will allow full air for the longer 1080ti

If it doesn't work, try one of the Gigabyte "ITX" 1070 cards in slot 6 - they're a good bit shorter than the Zotac, much less anything else.

I end up with cards at 2-5-7 on my 3-slot motherboards, so same effective spacing as you're using - and no cooling issues for the middle card as it has one fan completely unblocked even on the 2-fan Gigabyte or EVGA cards I have.

If your cousin was a DT on Ranger in the '79-'80 timeframe, I probably knew him by sight if not by name, as we would both have been in OE division.

But was in the USN for 5 years so I have been to a lot of countries.

Mine were all Pacific - I have fond memories of Thailand and Hong Kong/Kowloon (sp?), mixed of the Phillipines (Subic Bay, Olongopo, and Subic City) and Japan, don't really remember the stop at Korea, and UNfond memories of the shipwreck that left us unable to make it to Singapore and the I/O planned part of our WestPac tour (I was looking forward to Australia, but NOT to Diego Garcia), instead we limped back TO Subic for patches so we could limp to Japan (Yokosuka) for temp repairs then a few months tooling around the Pacific 'till later back to Japan for a complete bow replacement.

Ranger and the Liberia Fortune are no longer in the Guiness Book for the largest collision at sea, but we were there for a short while (got beat out when 2 of the 600,000 ton class oil tankers collided).

197 days at Diego Garica . You were on the Ranger my cousin Peter was there late 70's to early 80's he was a Data Processing tech. as was I on the USS Dixie Ad-14

Here are my settings for a MSI 1080GTX 8GB

Thanks for the TI settings Devon.
I managed to find an EVGA 1080 Ti 11gb on sale for USD758 which is pretty cheap in my Country. Should have that up and running by Thursday

Finally had time to tweak my two Geforce 1080ti FE cards for ZEC mining (EWBF 0.3.3b), the best I've come up with is:

Total rig power draw: 346W, total hash rate: 1272 Sol/s (3.67 Sols/W)

GPU0: 148w @ 641 sols (4.33 Sols/W)
GPU1: 151W @ 631 sols (4.17 Sols/W)

Afterburner: 60% Power, +240 Core Clock, -300 Memory Clock, Fans @ 60%, GPU Temps 56°C and 47°C

Not sure if I can do better ... but run out of 'tweaking' time ... things to do.

Phil inspired me to get a MSI 1080 GTX for my daily driver. Just set it up with nicehash miner and getting 406 H/S.

Can I get much more out of it if I read up on how to tweak it??

You can do better than that

Grab EWBF's miner from here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9EPp8NdigFianNlcUh0YWFhOVE

Then run it with the following command: miner --server equihash.usa.nicehash.com --pec --user YOURBITCOINADDRESS --pass x --port 3357
You might want to change servers to whatever is closest. Check on nicehash's website for pool addresses.

Then try MSI afterburner to adjust clocks and memory speed if you want to fine tune things

Thanks! This takes me from 407 to 470. Will have a play with Afterburner now.

Yeah but France has good health insurance ,nice food,nice wine and in general a fairly good country to be in.

We Americans get bargains on electronics, but if you get sick it is very expensive.

My wife and I spend just about 10k each year on health insurance and health care. We are 60 and 61 our health is decent not a lot wrong with us.

My neighbor Has a wife and 3 kids. He spends 28k on health insurance premiums and health care. His kids have some illnesses that cost $$$

Wow 28k on health insurance Shocked

That's the annual salary of a junior engineer ! How many 1080 ti is that ? It's true frenchies tend to forget how they got it easy ! We always complain but the life is pretty sweet here. As my father says "I've visited many countries and the only place I'm happy is France". I've travelled a bit myself and I get homesick pretty quickly if I don't have my cheese and my wine Cheesy

I am Italian/Norwegian American

But was in the USN for 5 years so I have been to a lot of countries.

Italy, France food and wine = priority.
So they were the two nicest places for me.
Maybe Mauritius was in third place. A beautiful Island paradise in the Indian Ocean

my 1080 using ewbf and msi afterburner does 505h

power 75%
core +150

i point ewbf at nicehash

Hey Phil, what TI models already arrived in hand.
I have pre ordered 3 cards and not sure which order I should keep.
Founder edition 756 Euro with shipping date 19 April
MSI armor 773 euro
MSI gaming X 822 Euro
Both MSI to be shipped on May 13
We are talking about at least 20 days wasted if mining between the founder and the other options, some founder should be calculated at 650 Euro.
Armor have no backplate ( Huge Down)
Both MSI won't fit inside my itx Case (thermaltake core v1) so I will have the change the case.
Do you agree that founder is the best way to go?
Only choice better than founder and fits inside the case is the Evga SC2 and yet it is no where to be found

Oh wow you americans and your sick gpu deals...in france the custom 1080 ti models barely arrived and the best price i've seen so far is 750€ on founders edition, usually they are around 800€. Of course if you got deals like that it's a no brainer Tongue

I'm running 5 rx 480 @ 730W at the wall on ETH, so yeah I run around 600W on ZEC, maybe 630W because I measured when the miner just started and the fans weren't running at cruise speed yet. That's the power of -100mv on core and modified timings...
I also saw someone that managed to get 500 h/s with custom memory timings on a R9 fury (HBM) but these guys don't give you the bios for free.

Modding your card is a personal decision, indeed if you don't mod your AMD cards (that looks like it's your case), you better buy nvidias. But for me that enjoy tweaking, optimizing and sending cards to RMA, the buying is not that obvious with vega coming along in june...basically I need really good deals

Well it also means the ROI is slower, but you are right, it depends on your personal constraints (electricity rate/space available/heating dissipation). Also keep in mind that nvidia cards can only mine equihash at this efficiency, right now.

Also phil did you manage to mine with AMD and Nvidia cards on the same mobo ? It should work but you never know Tongue

yeah but You need a better cpu not a cheap celeron

Why is that?

well when I did it with the celeron the gear got laggy as I ran 2 mining programs.

EWBF_3.3b for nvidia zcash

Claymore for amd zcash

when I did it on the i7 6700t no lagginess.

In my case summer mining with amd is a no go.

I have never seen a five card amd giving 1500 h at 600 watts at the wall

but I have seen a four card amd giving 1210 h at 570 watts at the wall.

I can do 1800 h at 570 watts at the wall with the 1080 ti (3 pieces)

So I added about 600 h for no watt cost.

and here is the lowest price yet for a 1080 ti

http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-GeForce-GTX-1080-TI-Founders-Edition_p_123.html

659 + 15 to ship to NJ = 675

well .. I get my nvidia gpus to 3.6 sol per watt easily .. no bios modding (warranty issues) etc
since power is expensive here I´d rather take gpus with a rate of 3.6 than double the hashcount but only 2.5 per watt
