Topic: [Tutorial] Best ROI Mining Rig Build Yet 12x 1060 GPU Mining Rig ETH/ZEC - page 2. (Read 1554 times)

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.

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

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?

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

Yes, 4-pin closest to CPU/CPU fan connector. I am using 160 watt version and had it modded by flminer here. I must say he did a great job by adding a 6-pin and 8-pin (for MB ATX). I am using 4-pin for the SRR to work, I can use 8-pin but then SRR doesn't work for some reason. I am using 2400 watt parallel miner PSU to power 11 1080 Ti. I couldn't addd more because the shoe rack I am using doesn't have room, lol. I am running 13 1070s (Zotac minis) on the same setup though.

So just to double check, the 4 pins closest to the CPU fan? which pico are you using / what wattage is it rated for?

I know you're certainly knowledgable on this -- what are your thoughts on the different wattage ratings for the picos? ex 160w vs 180w etc and whats the best rec for rigs? especially where it's a bit more demanding with a board requiring 2x molex like this

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.

haha appreciate that brother

I've actually been having an issue with that, going to order a couple adapters here soon to figure it out

@citronick powers a lot of boards with just the 4 pin off a pico psu atx adapter in either the left 4 or the right 4 of the 8 pin slot, there's also 4 pin to 8 pin adapters which I have but didn't get to see if it worked because the board wasn't working with just one molex plugged in

Vosk,
Great post and great video.
Got time for a question or two?

I've been watching your videos and dude they are 'top tier' for us n00bs.

I am replicating CryptoChicks 1070 TI build.
I have the 13 GPU asrock motherboard and a 1200 parallel miner server PSU.

Problems: (with the 100% server PSU in mind, not ATX)
1. Can you clarify exactly what cable/adapter you use for the CPU/8 pin EPS slot on the asrock MB?
2. Noting the 6 pin PCIE cables that come with the server PSU, what specific adapter did you use to power the "2" molex ports on the motherboard?

Lastly, you and Quintleo refer to afterburner OC settings. Would you mind sharing the settings that you throw into the 1bash (NVOC) clock/memory settings for your 1070 ti rig?

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Hey guys originally I took my farm the direction of max density so I've ended up with a lot of 1080 TI's, but it left my farm very Equihash and lyra heavy, making the recent great opportunity of mining ETH again (with them delaying ice age and the price increase) not really an option for me. .  I've read a lot of back and forth on the 3gb. . figured I'd give them a shot! Deleted any extras and built this mining rig with just the essentials and goals of max profits/fast ROI

There's always room for improvement, if there's something you'd recommend that would be better than what I did, or used, or better OC settings please let me know I'm always open to constructive feedback!
