So Phil what is happening here?
Any news on what you will do?
Any news on what you will do?
I am down about it because I messaged them in early May I explained that I would do a thread here. I wanted a deal and I misread what he told me.
I read no discount and clicked the facebook message closed. I then ordered one card did the thread. I went back to order 2 or 3 more on the site and was only able to order 1 unit. Sold out.
So I went back to face book messages and went to send a new message to ask when they come back in stock.
So the facebook messages follow each other and when I looked at his answer this time I read no discount for a few. I realized he said discount for 10
underneath it. So I rushed back in early May and fucked myself.
So I ended up with 2 cards at full price not 10 with a discount and I wrote the thread that most likely sold the gear out.
Same thing with the pandaminers.
Although a made a few dollars on the one I got. maybe 180-200 bucks.
I really wanted to do the two 3 + 1 build. If I read his message I would have grabbed the 10 and did three 3 builds
a 3 + 1
a 3 + 1
a 4 + 0
I will settle with two 1 + 2 builds instead. I hope it teaches me to not misread a message on facebook

You sounded so down about it. I am glad to see you will still do some case builds.

What's the reasoning behind using different intake and exhaust fans?
the exhaust are a bit stronger then the intake.
it gives negative pressure in the case.
so in theory hot air leaves a little better.
Since I have 2 cases on order and enough fans on order. but only 2 katana's
Rather then bitching moaning and groaning about whales buying out the katana's
I will build two 3 card builds.
Katana 1070 + founders 1080 ti + founders 1080 ti
should work okay
400 + 650 + 650 = 1700 sol a case at 450-475 watts.
much better then a six card rx 580 build at 1850 sol and 900 watts
so

I just read your post in the other thread:
The Galax Katana 1070 has sold out. I only have 1 and 1 on order.
It is what happens when you post a nice thread some whale looks at the work and buys out all the hardware fucked again.
I think I won't be posting for a few days.
Panda
Now this.

Well it looks like this build is stopped. The katana sold out.
I will end up building a 2x katana with 1 founders 1080 ti.

Phil can you organize this 4 card build Idea for us a little better?
I've been looking around for the Katanas. Is their site you reference below the only way to buy them, currently?
Yes I just ordered a second one less then 5 minutes ago.
I used paypal 6 months credit.
This is usa store
http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-GeForce-GTX-1070-KATANA_p_130.html
I ordered this case.

I think I decided to build a four card rig using 3 katana and 1 founders 1080ti (I have a lot of the 1080ti's)
I will use the biostar z170 board I have lots of them
goal will be a 1750 sol rig in a case using 500 watts.
I am going to order parts today.
which would be 2 more katana's
and a case. as all the parts are on hand.

When I see those rigs pictures, it really makes me want to be back to mining. I will look at it, maybe you changed my life, because I am thinking more and more about buying a few rigs after seeing this thread
!Me too! I already sort of started again. I broke away when BTC difficulties got way too high and never came back. But I think that is changing
that katana single slot seems ok. whats the noise level compared to double wides?
i had a single slot HD4850 back in btc mining days, only problem was the heat sink would clog easily with dust as fins were so finely pitched. i had to pull it once a month or so and blow the thing out from the back towards to fan. had decent filtering on the rig too.
be nice to pack 3 or 4 of those in a matx board in a smallish case with some serious filtered fans. small, cat proof.

Too much gear to tell sound.

On its side this case would work
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147232
yeah four of them on this board would fit easy.

! Installing 7x cards directly in PCI-E on an X99 motherboard is not an issue at all even if the card has one power plug.
I have 7x 1070 Strix directly installed on PCI-E slots on an X99 motherboard, all good.
Great review, keep us updated !
How is that possible? Aren't those cards double-wides?
Watercooled/Chopped-off DVI ports
Awesome! Picture, please!
Out of respect to philipma1957 and his efforts to share great information with us, i would rather avoid deviating from the main subject of this thread. [Review of Galax 1070 Katana GPU]
I'll just share info which is needed for this thread.
7x 1070's can in fact be plugged directly into a X99 (one's with 7 PCI-E slots) and it will work. https://i.imgur.com/0Wzr621.jpg
In the Katan case, it even can be done without modifying the card. Now, the compatibility question has been answered, the new question is heat.

You can always put the stock coolers back on to resell them. The water blocks will most likely work with the next gen cards.
