Title: Any 6+ GPUs on a single miner? Post by: jasinlee on April 01, 2013, 02:14:25 AM Anyone got a build for more than 6 GPUs on a single rig working? Looking at the options out there to see if its viable.
Title: Re: Any 6+ GPUs on a single miner? Post by: ssateneth on April 01, 2013, 07:19:33 AM I have 5 rigs with 8 GPU's each (Some are dual GPU cards). 5850, 5870, 5970s. Z77A-G45 or 890FX-GD70, PCI-E 1x risers, Seasonic x-1250 or Rosewill Lightning 1300w or OCZ ZX 1250W or SPI Magna Pro Gold 1200w, Win7 x64, Driver 11.12, SDK 2.1 plus SDK 2.5 (SDK 2.1 is whats mined on, 2.4+ is required for 2.1 to even be detected and useable), bfgminer, phatk, vectors 2, worksize 128, intensity 11, 1 gpu thread, roughly 1 memory MHz for every 5 core MHz.
Image is clickable for higher res. I just set it up yesterday, I'll clean up the wires later. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9768004/SAM_0078small.jpg (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9768004/SAM_0078.jpg) Screenshot of bottom right rig's mining software in operation. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9768004/8gpu3.png Title: Re: Any 6+ GPUs on a single miner? Post by: jasinlee on April 01, 2013, 09:10:21 AM Awesome setup, but I was kinda wondering if the cost vs power savings (although probably minimal) would be worth looking at a 6-8 card in 1 rig setup was worth looking into.

How many PCI-E connectors do these power supplies have? Are they enough to run these multi-GPU rigs? If not how do you power them? Title: Re: Any 6+ GPUs on a single miner?

PSU is 1200 watts and has 3x2 pci-e connectors and, no, it isn't worth it unless you already have a decent amount of the hardware just sitting around Title: Re: Any 6+ GPUs on a single miner? Post by: jasinlee on April 02, 2013, 07:03:44 PM I am poking around the internet, looking for a way to setup 4 or more cards with potentially up to 10 GPUs total.
