Yeah me too  here are some photos.
I opened garage door  and due to cool weather the room is only 80f


whole rig is pulling 372 on my hot kwatt meter
the other meter would read 355-260

 note garage back door is open





msi settings for the 1080 ti



good air flow for the two cards  and room for one more in a slot



hashrate total of 1168


note you can see back door of the garage  on the left is about 2 feet from the rig so a good cool air supply

how about the temps on your zotac 1080 mini? is it on default clocks?

I don't know what I am doing but  I am running 1 zotac mini 1080 card

mining zec on nicehash








temps are good

I lowered core raised memory

getting 480  on screen and nicehash floats from 450-525

running my 1080 zotac amp extreme

both my asus and zotac 1080 appears to be stable ~570+ sols  with OC

the zotac amp extreme is massive it is bigger than my sapphire and MSI R9 390's, it's so heavy that it tends to tilt and lift its other side from the pcie socket, i zip tied it...found another use for my nut and screws lol



I have enough of 1080's

1080 ti massive hashrate for a single card is irresistible

I think zotac offers another 1 year extension for manufacturer warranty or more if you register your GPU, you might want to look into it..more years the better, specially when buying an expensive card  Wink

Newegg has this in stock


https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125954



So I now have these 3 cards on order

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125954    Aorus 1080 ti             net cost    760  taxes

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500414   Zotac 1080 mini          net cost    260  on ebay with ebucks

https://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=ZT-G1080TF                           Zotac 1080 ti              net cost   706  after a 2 %  discount.


______________________________________________________________________________ Total =  1726


I am hoping  for 1700h  at  545 watts

this would be  around  15 usd a day  and use 14 k-watts a day  my summer rates are nuts  once I adjust for cooling cost  I push  19 cents.  so that is 2.80 a day

15.00  -2.80 = 12.20 a day   profit with 19-20 cent power will be possible  that is a 150  day pay back

for me I will go for biggest and baddest card in the lowest pcie slot, because there is nothing below that card to hinder anything.

planned in buying that zotac 1080 mini but backed out because I've seen a youtube video comparing it to galax HOF, temps of that zotac mini is ~20c more

will wait for your hashrate on your zotac mini 1080 card...will the temp get better with under volting, down clocking and still get good hashrates.

we will see how this works out.

@ theyankeeswin


yeah

  slot 1------     slot 2------      slot 3 -----    slot 4-----   slot 5 ----- slot 6

1080ti ________empty______empty _____1080ti ____empty ____ mini 1080


this is the plan.

I have a psu and a booster mobo ready for the cards.

I have one 1080 on order
I have one 1080 ti on order
I don't need the second  1080 ti to see if this will work.

If I put the 1080 ti in slot 4
and the mini 1080 in slot six  and it gets too hot  I know it won't work.


my zotac 1080 ti is  10.50 inches long

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W05HP0222


Form Factor & Dimensionsh
Max GPU Length
267 mm
Card Dimensions (L x H)
10.50" x 4.38"
Slot Width
Dual Slot


the mini is  8.31 inches
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500414


Form Factor & Dimensions
Max GPU Length
211 mm
Card Dimensions (L x H)
8.31" x 4.92"
Slot Width
Dual Slot


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

so goal would be 610 + 610 + 480 = 1700 at 540-600 watts
look at the z170 from biostar below

So  Phil  you have those  6 slot biostar rigs correct?


You could do slot  1 and slot 4 and slot 6.

A full sized  blower style  1080 ti  slot one

A full sized blower style   1080 ti slot four


The short  style              1080  slot six

that would let you run  fairly cool  and riser free with a small sized build.

Maybe 700 + 700 + 600 = 2000 h for zec

Newbie question - but why ZEC only?


nvidia  whales on zec  far better then amd

more hash less power.


at best amd is 2 h per 1 watt

nvidia is 3 h per watt

or
 .500 watts a h for amd     doing zec
 .333 watts a h for nvidia  doing zec

it is a clearcut winner  for zec.

found a deal on a zotac 1080


http://www.ebay.com/itm/381941454927?

it is 489 newegg is the eBay seller

the same card on newegg is  529


https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500414

I paid a lot less as I had 265 in ebucks  so I got a 1080 for around 255 out of pocket as I paid 34 in tax


this is the shortest 1080 card on the market.

I think I will be able to squeeze 3 cards on one of my biostar z170's

I now have a zotac 1080 ti and a zotac 1080  on order

so at this point the 1080 ti and the 1080 were about 985 out of pocket.

in theory i will do about 1100-1200 h  and maybe 375-425 watts
