Title: narrow height 1080ti or 1080 cards (1 to 1.5x vs 2x height)? Post by: mindsignals on January 04, 2018, 02:34:07 PM Are there any 1080ti or 1080 cards that have narrower heights (single to 1.5x rather than the typical double-slot height)? I have a ROG V Extreme with 4 slots and currently run two 1080ti cards with sniffdogminer in slots 1 and 3 for heat dissipation. I'd like to run cards in slots 2 and 4, but used to have 780ti in slots 1 through 3 and that second doubleslot would overheat as there was literally no space between those cards. Thus, I'm looking for two with lower height for slots 2 and 4.
Also, can I run sniffdogminer for cards on slots 1 and 3 and another multiminer for cards on slots 2 and 4 simultaneously if those other two slots run just 1080 cards or do I need to run 1080ti cards in all four slots and use just the one miner? Finally, am I able to use the m.2 slot for a graphics card (either in addition to or in place of one of the pci express slots)? Title: Re: narrow height 1080ti or 1080 cards (1 to 1.5x vs 2x height)?

There is really no way to dissipate ~1 kW heat from 4 1080ti cards in such close space. And I don't think there exist any single or 1.5 slot 1080 cards unless you buy an aftermarket fullcover water cooling. Just use pci-e risers and build/buy a frame for your rig.

Post by: mindsignals on January 04, 2018, 06:35:55 PM Currently, I have it closed, but assuming I go to 4 cards, I plan to leave it open...I didn't know about pci-e risers...I'll definitely look that up. This rig won't have water cooling, but I hope to add another rig expressly for mining this spring or summer. For now, I'm looking to make this a 4-card system. On my son's 1080, I run nemosminer...that's what I'd plan to run on slots 2 and 4 if I add 1080 vs 1080ti.
Thanks! You can set the gpu groups in mining software. At least it's true for Nemos-miner and Megaminer, I haven't tried Sniffodgminer recently.

Post by: QuintLeo on January 04, 2018, 10:58:06 PM For the 1080 or 1080 ti, about your only options to run 4 cards on the MB on that MB is to use hybrid or water-cooled cards, if you want decent cooling.
Even a 1080 running at "efficient" settings around 105 watt ballpark with AIR cooling is going to have heat issues when the cards are crammed in that close. You also need a case specifically designed to have "8 slots" in the back for GPU slots, or you won't be able to run any sort of a double-slot card in your Slot 4 at all. |
