Title: Building a Nvidia Mining Rig, Need Part Recommendation (1070s??) Post by: Jmattes on June 04, 2017, 02:11:02 AM Going to my local microcenter tomorrow to build a mining rig.
As you all know AMDs are all sold out, so I need Nvidia recommendations, unless I buy 550s. So 1080s, 1070s, or 1060s? I was thinking of getting a few 1070s to start. Here are my options based on stock: (3) Gigabyte Overclocked 8gb at $390/each (3) Gigabyte G1 8gb at $410/each (3-5) Asus Strix 8gb at $410/each (they have a total of 8 instock at the moment) They have EVGA, PNY, Zotac, MSI, etc if those brands are better. I have the usb powered risers, but I need a motherboard, cpu amd psu recommend to support the cards. Let say after I get mining I would like to have 5-7 cards.

If you can afford $1500 for gpu i would recommend 2x gtx 1080 ti Title: Re: Building a Nvidia Mining Rig, Need Part Recommendation (1070s??) Post by: philipma1957 on June 04, 2017, 03:12:38 AM Build my
Two 1080ti One 1070 Riser free rigs. Wait for link note my builds are with a biostar z170 but the gigabyte is fine https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1877588.msg19335622#msg19335622 the gigabyte board will do 3 with no risers. 1080ti 1080 ti 1070 mini 3 with no risers 1080ti 1080 ti 1070 https://i.imgur.com/dg0TGrW.jpg Title: Re: Building a Nvidia Mining Rig, Need Part Recommendation (1070s??)

Here are my options based on stock: (3) Gigabyte Overclocked 8gb at $390/each (3) Gigabyte G1 8gb at $410/each Should work well together, IIRC they are set by Gigabyte to almost identical factory overclock. I suspect that first one you listed is the one I have 6 of. For a triple 1070 rig, I find a good 850 watt PS is more than enough - could probably get by with a 750, or a 650 with enough undervolt and core downclock. I don't build riser rigs, and my rigs don't tend to be pure "mining" rigs though. Most of them are built on the ASRock FM2A88X Extreme 6+ (using 2 full-length 1070 and a Gigabyte "ITX" short 1070). Same motherboard could work with a pair of 1080 or 1080ti in the first 2 slots, but keep the "shortie" card for the third slot for cooling - and you will definitely want more PS for a pair of 1080ti (power draw on the 1080 is normally 20 watts or so more than the 1070, not exactly a big difference). For a pure mining rig, I'd probably go ASRock 970 Extreme4 (my current gaming rig and one other rig are built on this MB). Pretty much any "3 x PCI-E 16-bit slot" board should work, as they all have the same 2-5-7 spacing as the pair I mentioned, or the Gigabyte board Phil mentioned. |
