Title: my first rig with asus strix gtx 1080ti Post by: POSITRON333 on June 28, 2017, 09:23:37 PM hi there, I am setting my first rig with a combinations of gtx 1080 y gtx 1080ti, now I have 2 gpu running atm but have some question. I have asrock h81 pro btc r2.0 and two (2) evga 850 watt psu. now I want to add 2 gpu more (4 in total until now) so I need to link the 2 850 psu and I am thinking join it with the "add2psu litter card' http://www.add2psu.com/ my questions are:
1) it is safe to join (link) that 2 psu using the add2psu card? 2) the evga 850 g2 super nova psu have 4 vga (8pin) cable slot, since gtx 1080ti use 2 cable then 1 psu allow me to connect only 2 gpu? I hear is not good power gtx 1080 gpus with "Y" type power connector? so I will need more than 2 psu for the 6 gpu? 3) currently using nicehash with autoswiching coin mining is that the most profitable? or maybe claymore is better in term of wining.? maybe other opcion? thanks very much for help.

I'm not even doing that I'm just jumping the pins and I have 100% absolutely no issues - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixcWCrYpw3Y 2 - every single 1080ti i have is on Y's - no issues. I use 2 850's for 6x1080Ti 3 - nicehash is great for a beginner, use it to start then poke around and look for better stuff, read the claymore, ewbf, nemo etc threads and then you'll get a good idea of what to use. 1080ti is good on a lot of algos Title: Re: my first rig with asus strix gtx 1080ti Post by: igotek on June 28, 2017, 10:25:02 PM @VyprBTC
Do you use Founder Edition or with two or three fans version ? Title: Re: my first rig with asus strix gtx 1080ti Post by: POSITRON333 on June 28, 2017, 10:48:22 PM 3 fans, I think is not founder edition, https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING/
