In Oz we pay $278 for a 1060 6GB or $203 for a 1060 3GB

which would you go for in an 8-10 card rig?

it depends what your goals are, I don't think you could really go wrong with either and those aren't bad prices all things considered

personally i'd try to build both eventually xD

The DAG file for ETH will exceed 3gb on 04/MAY/2019, it wont exceed 6gb until 03/OCT/2024. so 3gb cards will be no good for ETH in 1.5yrs but 6gb cards will be good for 7 years. It is worth the ~50-75$ per card (if you have the money for that) to buy 6gbs and get the extra 5.5 years of possible productivity

On the topic of this I'm sure most know now but just wanted to update that 3gb on windows builds are no longer working due to the DAG file for ETH mining

I don't have a pic at the moment but I am using 4-pin ATX of the Pico for H110 and it works fine. It goes to the left 4 pins (if you are looking at it directly), but you do need to power both Molex for the MB to work with multiple GPUs. Any Molex to 2x Molex adapter will work.

The H110 BTC+ Pro boards have some kind of sensor for occupied PCIe ports. I have trouble with more then two risers connected even with two molex connectors powered. But the connectors are really needed only if you are not using powered risers. I simply disabled the warning in BIOS and as for now board is working like charm with 8 GPU WITHOUT any molex connected, with only 4-pin for CPU power and 160W picoPSU. So feel free to have a bit less cable hassle with the mainboard :-)

Ah you’re a genius mate, going to give this a spin

Can you confirm if your 12 Cards have Samsung Memory ?

I found this EVGA model for 200 bucks.
ANd i hesitate with Zotac AMP model.

3GB is not a problem now ?

I can add it to the to do list but just because mine may be doesn’t guarantee a different order will be unfortunately. However at least it is a possibility!

First off... big thanks to all miners posting in this thread.

BSAlex,
Dude... your post was awesome.
I gotta admit this server PSU + asrock 110 motherboard was starting to drive me nuts.
I have molex adapters coming in the mail... but staring at all these 1070 ti's not functioning was getting on my nerves. Your idea to go into the BIOS and shut off the hardware warning was great!
The rig fired up with all my GPUs online... with -no- molex power adapters and running completely off server PSU, following Vosk's 1070 ti build.

Hats off to all of you, this is a really good community.

Cheers.

That’s so awesome to hear, that’s what it’s all about man!

Here is a picture of 11 1080Ti on a shoerack I took a few weeks ago.

haha nice shoe rack, i did the same with mine for my vega rig.

what are you using for the beam that your fixing your card screws onto?

1/2"x4' aluminum bar from Home Depot. Was feeling too lazy to make a frame after I saw this shoerack, lol.

hahaha this is so awesome, whats the price on the shoerack?

about $15, not bad at all

i have my 1060's set at 58% power limit and they run under 70 watts therefore i use unpowered 30cm 16-1 risers, also use them on 470/570 which run about 100w. this is because they get their power from psu and there are 4-pin connectors on the motherboard. i've had no problems with risers. i think usb risers are only needed on higher power cards and motherboards that don't have the additional power connectors.

That's really interesting, do you have a link to the ones you use or something similar? what are your cost savings
