i bet its a PEAK clock, i have doubts it will be stable in mining with 24/7 load.
p.s. also curious what would be consumption...if MSI/GB/ASUS that work around 18xx MHz are peaking 300-320W...

There is probably misunderstanding occurred... what i could imagine is nvidia will do is some sort of a ACCELERATOR Card, perhaps something like NEC POWER VR did back in the 90's
- i have doubts it will be specifically designed for mining, too many protocols, card has to be universal, so why try to re-invent a bicycle ?

i dont mine burst, but as of to my understanding, there is no way burst mining uses that much data, i agree with QuintLeo on it. I also know that ISP's DO have cap limit on traffic they are trying to prevent torrents this way AFAIK.

Or it could be that crypto becomes new financial system without banks, its obvious that prices will fluctuate but to my opinion THIS will be the money, not any fiat anywhere...as it looks like everyone is trying to avoid a buck in international trading and the buck is the king and the ruler right now, goverments probably will stock pile gold, but regular citizens will be using cryptos, no need to carry pocketfull, no tax, no interest rates, no credit score, no borders, equal value worldwide.

Some folks here said, that molex plug raisers are often not working properly...have not used those myself but... also there are some raisers with additional caps 270mkF some with 150mkF, i would go with bigger caps and powered ones, who knows what kind of cards will be next gen and what power requirements will be, so for the upgrade sake, i take powered ones. Server supplies are nothing extraordinary and no need to be guru to use them, the main difference is that they ARE louder, there are some people here who sell those in 1200w/1500w HP/DELL branded, with or without breakout board/cables. Also ebay has some 2400W server PSU for ASICs that are basically HP/DELL OR 3000W IBM blade H series, but its huge and i bet it whines like F1 engine. today is was messing with 2x1080ti - msi extreme oc and gigabyte xtreme oc versions - on stock clocks, with core2duo/8gb ddr2 ram/500gb hdd 7200 and about 5x120mm fans - at the wall, when mining, thing eats 680-720Watts (under 75'C) being said that, having powered raisers is plus, sa apparently those versions consume about 300W each at least and they have 8pin +8pin connector on each card (150w+150w)ave 18AWG @Toptek - those splitters have 18awg wire, according to Ampacity Table http://www.stayonline.com/reference-circuit-ampacity.aspx it can handle 7-10amps which is below 150W (P=UI / POWER=VOLTAGE*CURRENT) so net step would be 16awg which is ok... but it is recommended to have those 4PIN PCIE splitters with 14AWG wire. |

Curious if anyone has ever done a RAID array for this type of mining...or it does not make sense?
Where is good info on hdd mining? so far i see a very sporadic info on this

just got MSI Z170A- GAMING M7 will see how it will perform and if it will take 6+ vids

i find 1070 being very touchy about temps...dont see anything like this with 1080ti

I have built two pc's based on 1:XFX NFORCE780i SLI with core 2 duo e8400 and 2: EVGA Nforce i780 SLI with quad 6600 c2d cpu, both ran 3 sli nvidia 1070 cards without any problem. However, none of those boards wanted to take 2 cards... either 1 or 3. I did not try to spend much time figuring out why, just got three running, below is the link with pics: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1072587589508989&id=348409301926825 |

So i have picked MSI Z170A GAMING M7 - 7 PCIE slots, we will see how it will perform. waiting for other parts.

It will be 2 HP server psu's 1200w each + PC ATX supply for mobo.
currently 120V but thinking about mounting in that big DPS-2400 model(dont have it yet, but will be considered as an option) cards/pcie wont be powered by atx. Noisy, but secure.
Motherboard wise - are z170 any good or there are some limitations? z87 perhaps can be found relatively cheap or pcie version matters?

Parts are being shipped, perhaps this weekend will be the "table test run" but need to choose good motherboard - any recommendations?
It most likely will be win10 build, but possibly one of the Linux based distros, its not decided yet, helping someone on this any suggetions are much appreciated.

Personally myself i prefer server psu, for the a good reasons stated above, i agree its more tolerant to environmental conditions vs PC ATX. I also agree about margin, never load PSU to above 80% not critical, but certainly truly stresses it if you go above. Breakout cable is not a problem. There are server PSU's that can handle over 200A on 12V rail - im not aware of any PC psu that can handle that (some IBM BLADE's for example) they have some funky nreakout adapter-cable, but hey ....200Amps.. ) any recycling company just trashes those HP/DELL/IBM power supplies and will sell them to you for like 15-20$ a piece in working order, so no competition near, i just buy 5 right away and if need arises will swap... just seen a couple times when psu swap was needed. |

@FULLZERO
- Comrade, that's impressive! (nvoc)
p.s. for whattomine.com - it be nice if they would of updated their hardware and especially option for KH/MH/GH buttons(switchable)
Thanks again, nice info, just got done with full thread.
p.p.s - both sample videos for some reason are not playing, page says loading forever...on chrome,ie,vivaldi
