Hi guys, I finally placed an order for 2 Vega VII. Can you tell me which miner to use and are the latest drivers the best ones? I was thinking to use XMR-Stak 2.10.4

Yes, there is a reason why EVGA is always at the top of any test. Quality and warranty is untopable. If you ever have a problem in 10 years, it will be fixed asap. I bought hundreds of EVGA PSU's in my life and not even a single one broke down. If you have the choice, go with EVGA.
I still have some Corsairs left, but half of them already have been repaired. Wouldnt buy them again, even if they are cheap like hell
Seasonic, Coolermaster, BeQuiet, Thermaltake and 1-2 other top-brands are fine too. But its always a bit like playing the lottery. Its not a no-brainer.
But b2t now again

I bought cheap psus and ran them near capacity and they did fry, burned SATA connections.
I bought cheap PSU from AliExpress and use it over 2 years. The only problem is a noise. Surely, if i had a possibility that time, i`d bought good PSU, smth loke Corsair, but it wasnt so and this PSU works right now.Thats the same as what others thought until cheap crap burned down their whole existence. Google/YT is full of such stories. Everyone knows someone with smoking/burning parts experiences. Never think it wouldnt hit you too, or in other words, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong (someday).
I wouldnt be proud to such stupidness, sorry mate! And ask yourself (or read about): Why are these PSU's so cheap, and whats the difference between such crap and EVGA for example?
And if you read more attentive - you can see why i bought it.
I can speak long about it but everyone has his own point of view.
Corsair is not good at PSU.
Maybe you got a perfect product when i got defective products.

POWER SUPPLIES (PSU) RUN BEST AT 50-70% LOAD--
Running a power supply at max load will wear it out prematurely. And, a cheap PSU at max load can fail with a fire hazard because they may be improperly rated. A 2000W cheap PSU on a 110V (USA) circuit would likely overload the 110V circuit and could possibly cause a house fire, not just an explodong PSU.
A cheap PSU will explode when run at max load. --scryptr

Thats what I wrote often before. NEVER buy cheap. You only have one life. Saving a few bucks with cheapest hardware is just stupid.
I second this. Most US household plugs are rated for 15 amps. That's 110V * 15A = 1650W. My extension cords get scary warm at already 1250W even without tripping the fuses... So please take care, measure your consumption if you don't know it, and stay safe.

Hey, thanks for replies guys appreciate it very much.
Now I have an idea what psu to purchase for 4 or 6 rig setup.
It's a shame because I still have 1x 8pin connector & 2x 6pin connector "FREE" on PSU. If only these could be used to fire up another GPU, that would have been awesome!
Next part. Fans. I'm currently using : PRIZM 120MM ADDRESSABLE RGB CASE FANS - FIVE PACK for my 4x Radeon Vii rig, they are working great, no issues, I think it has auto feature where it increases RPM depending how hot the rig is running.
Do you guy's think this is a good brand? My mining rig can handle 5x 120mm fans.
What do you think?

Hey, I was searching around for PSUs that might be able to handle 5 or 6 GPUs.
I'm currently using Corsair HXi Series™ HX1000i for my 6x Asus GTX 1070 8GB OC rig, I realised the cables used to power up the gpus have 2x 8-pin connector but ofcourse the 1070 use only 1x 8-pin connector.
With all these 1070 gpus I've connected the power which leaves 1x 8-pin empty.
Do you guy's think I can use the same PSU; Corsair HXi Series™ HX1000i or AX1600i to setup 5 radeon vii?
Just that after looking at my 1070 rig, there are plenty 2x 8-pin connectors to be used for 5x radeon vii setup... or am I missing something?
You ought to look at AX1600i, it will be enough for 5GPU and you`ll get power reserve. Even if you`d like to use HX1000i for 4 GPU - it can become a problem with electrical load.

Yep exactly. Though they are "cheap Chinese PSU", they are around 4 times cheaper than the equivalent wattage PSU, and have more cables suited for mining use.
Though cheap isn't always best in power supply situations! The best idea if you want cheap is to use commercial server psus and breakout boards, cos they're designed for the job and cheap as chips. They are noisy tho...
Speaking of PSUs, 2kw psu to run 8x Vega 7s per rig will be nice. There's the superflower 2000w platinum, which exists but I have no idea where to get it, and the 2200w evga platinum. No news from Evga since Jan 2018.
Gamemax do 2kw psu, but they are "cheap chinese" psu, and they are almost as loud as an asic (you won't believe it until you hear it).

I'm using a 1650w psu and it powers 5 radeon vii's no problem so far.

With HX1000i you can attach 4 GPUs, and with AX1600i 5 GPUs.

No, you have to measure on the wall. But expect about ~x1.5 from measurment in software.

Running 6 cards on a onda riserless mobo, 1500w at the wall, 490mh/s.
1575 clock, 860mv, 950 mem phoenix miner.
1575 clock, 860mv, 950 mem phoenix miner.
Something seems to be sucking up power unnecessarily in your setup - I ran same settings but w/ my mem just a touch lower (935), and only saw 215w/card - looks like you're at 240-245 for some reason, which is generally more in-line w/ the 90Mh/s config.
My rig has 4x 4000rpm fans (or 7x 3500rpm fans), just the mobo + fans with no gpu attached is ~140w.
Even so, it's less efficient that yours. Might be my psus hitting 90%+ load, I use the Evga 1600t2.
My Radeon VIIs run hot! I have the mem at 1500 core 975 undervolt 875 and they still get up to 80 degrees in my shed with fans blowing on them. Not sure I made a wise buy my hash rate for eth is down to 75. 80 - 90 make it a deal but I don't think it can run long at 85 degrees.
That's just the hotspot temp? If so that's within spec. Mine are 70-75 degrees in MSI AB, but 85-90 hotspot temp.
No idea what temp that is, I'm using simpleos and it says temp is in the 80s.

Not that I know of. Any lights I didn't want, I just cover it with electrical tape.
What kind/brand you are using?
