If it looks like bullshit, smells like bullshit, chances are ... its vaporware. 3 mainboards having 6 ASIC chips, each with 32 1GB DDR3 memory, thus totalling to 72 GB RAM
Someone is bad at basic math. 3 x 6 x 32 = 72? Lets assume they meant 3 mainboards with 32 1gb ram, even that comes to 3 x 32 =72? ... Ofcource if each asic chip had 4 gb memory dedicated to it, that would make each mainboard 6 x 4 = 24 and then the total 72gb for 3 mainboards makes sense. But DDR3? Really? What is this 2011? DDR3 would not have nearly enough bandwidth to mine at 1mh/d for the entire thing. Ethereum ASIC chips will enter mass production stage in February 2018 by TSMC’s 28nm process. The F3 miner is expected to hit the market in Q2 or Q3 2018.
TSMC's ground breakin 28nm process node because we are in 2011 again ... ofcource this silicon will be as efficient as the 14nm GPU's in the market ... Also miners expected to hit the market in Q2/Q3 ... when is the tape out? When do the engineering samples roll out? Or are they just going full blown production run? And when is POS? Why would they make an ASIC for a mining algo that is going to remove mining altogether pretty soon? |

Just got word from my source in Zotac Nvidia P102-100 GPU's coming out with 5GB GDDR5X clocked at 10GHz and priced at $600 officially (though we know its not going to be available for anything close to that price) Since this is GP102, expect it to be great at Zcash, Neoscrypt etc but suck at ethereum (with that GDDR5X)  What do you guys think? |

From what I've been reading of Vlad Zamfir's thoroughly enlightening blog posts about Slasher / Casper, a hybrid POW/POS was seemingly ruled out because of how different the consensus/validation mechanism was.
Could anyone here help me understand what changed along the way and how is Casper now going about implimenting Hybrid POW/POS?

Ok, this will be my 2nd rig. And I allocated a budget of 5,400USD
Here are my options:
Powercolor RX 570 4GB Red Devil = $290 * 13pcs
Zotac 1070TI Mini = $620 * 7pcs
Zotac 1080TI Mini = $920 * 5pcs
If you were in my position, what will you choose in terms of profitability and faster ROI? I dont mine specific coin, I just mine whatever most current profitable because I aim to get my capital first.
I currently have Powercolor RX570 4GB Red Devil*13 rig, drawing 1800W from the wall. And currently making .0345 ETH per day (based on profit calculators as pool's calculators are so wobbly).
Thanks.
The profitability numbers for 13 RX 570's are WAY higher than 7 1070ti or 5 1080ti. For mining, always get the most profit/$. |

For reference, RX 470 and 480 running at 1150MHz core clock:
BLAKE2S:
-dcri 50 with no drop on ETH
RX 470 = 1300MH/s
RX 480 = 1450MH/s
Nice. I can only get to dcri=35 without drop in ETH I get ~950MH/s on Blake2S With +21W Power Draw, Nicehash earnings of 0.30$ per day net profit is 0.24$ per day per card With dcri=5 without drop in ETH I get ~136MH/s on Keccak With +25W Power Draw, Nicehash earnings of 0.23$ per day net profit is 0.16$ per day per card |

Hi Deadsix,
I'm wondering if i could call on your knowledge once again.
Do you think it's possible to power a headless rig; 1x RX580 GPU, 1x Mobo/CPU/Ram/SSD, 1x Ver. 8s Riser by a Gold Standard 650W PSU. There are two local options for the 650W PSU in Superflower and Antec. Antec is about $30 cheaper than the Superflower.
Im thinking 250W for combined (SSD,Mobo,CPU,RAM) and 150-170W for GPU/Riser ? = 400-420W. Which is approx 64% of the 650W load of the PSU.
This should be more than ok, right ?
The other GPU's and risers are powered by a Server PSU.
I run several 4 x RX 570 rigs on 750W Gold PSU's, so 650w is more than enough for your need. Superflower makes some very good PSUs, and Antec is decent in the gold and above category so either of them will be suitable. |

-tstop set stop GPU temperature, miner will stop mining if GPU reaches specified temperature. For example, "-tstop 95" means 95C temperature. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-tstop 95,85,90".
This feature is disabled by default ("-tstop 0"). You also should specify non-zero value for "-tt" option to enable this option.
If it turned off wrong card, it will close miner in 30 seconds.
You can also specify negative value to close miner immediately instead of stopping GPU, for example, "-tstop -95" will close miner as soon as any GPU reach 95C temperature.
Hey Clay, Feature request : -tstop stops the GPU that was overheating at the specified temperature, please add an option to re-enable it once it cools down. You could restart the miner using something like minspeed but that isnt the most efficient way of doing it, since only one GPU would need to be re-enabled. |

Nvidia P104 mining GPU's, if found at the orignal 350$-400$ price. These babies can do ~43mh on ethereum, while drawing just under 120W.
More like ~39 MH/s at 170W is the benchmarks I've seen. The original $400 price is a fantasy at this point. If you could get RX 570's for their original price, with two you would get ~56 MH/s for less than $400. I received a Gigabyte P104-100 as a sample, in my testing it did 43mh/s at 58% power limit, and ~120W power so .... Didn't keep it though, since minimum order was 50 pieces and the price was 700$ per piece. |

1. dual 8 pin adapter off gpu. how many watts ? 150 or more. no one has a clear answer. i know that 150 watts per single 8pin is standard and it's well below it's max. but does the dual adapters that psu's come with just hanging on that same 150 watts (however it can go more because it's just the specification?)?
The 150W is for the cable, not per plug, so 75W per plug is the specification, most can do ~100w per plug easily, but dont push your luck beyond that. 2.dual 8pin on 1060 are safe (going off question 1's answer 1060's - two should be hitting your 150 watt rail not hard as it's maximum is higher much anyways). how about 1070. i guess it depends on card? thoughts?
No 1060 needs dual 8 pins, or 8 pin + 6 pin, plug in the primary 8/6 pin and thats it, enough wattage for the card. 1070's can get by with one 8 pin as well, you only really need two with 1080ti's and Vega 56/64 etc. Again, the spec is for the cable, not the plug so 54W total for the cable, can be pushed to 60w but not recommended beyond. 3b. can i use 1 sata string cable from psu with 4 male connections and use 2 connections of 54 watts(per sata adapter specs) to get a total of hopefully 100+ish draw. or do i need 2 separate sata cables. from what i understand the sata plug (just the tip not the wiring) is only able to allow 54 watts within it's limitation but if i use multiple plugs (***on the same cable***) does each plug have it's own rail is what im saying. if so that would make all those 4 port sata plugs useful in some sense.
DO NOT - repeat - NOT think of combining sata/molex to 6-8 pin kinda shenanigans unless you want to burn your cables/cards. 3c. if 1 molex string from psu can power usually 2 1080ti's. or 1 if u overclocking. then technically if 3a. is true and it equally pulls. and 3b is true separate rails. then can't a single 4 string sata cable from psu, with 2 y adapters of sata going to a 6pin, be possible??? my main point is im lacking molex plugs on my psu. how can i use the sata's effectively. now i wouldn't run 2 y adapters on a single string, but if molex can run 2 on a single string. why can't sata, im guessing it matters about gauge wire at that point? im assuming the equal pulls and different rails and gauge all factor in to this. but this is advanced knowledge that is hard to find and only real people deep in the mines who messed with adapters know and i would love some info...
Nvidia GPU's typically pull very little power from the PCIe slot, so the you can use 2 risers per cable be it sata or molex without any issues. But if using sata, us the Sata power type risers, stay far faaar away from sata-molex or sata - pcie power adapters that come with other risers. Also, DO NOT connect multiple risers to one cable when using AMD cards, they have notoriously high power draws on the PCIe slot. 4. My problem is i got 4 dual pci rails off psu and 3 1080ti's plus 2 1060's. the 3 1080 ti's using dual pci express 8pin adapters. the the 1060's sharing the last dual 8pin. the peripherals that came with my psu are 2 molex strings and 5 sata. how should i power my 5 cards, best options???. my opinion would be all 5 cards get there own 4 pin molex but i do not have that. more or less. can i use 2 risers per molex string for 1080ti? should i do the y adapter from dual sata to 6pin on the 1080ti's.. (i got some crappy unsafe sata risers but 1060s draw such little power that it's ok to use them on them .1070's can be a different story however).. regardless that 3rd 1080ti how should i go about powering it if i only got 2 molex strings. Now it's obvious if i had the equip in front of me i'd be trying out stuff. i got a grasp of being safe with 1060's and 1070s. i just wanna make sure without blowing money on all different adapters i just get the info i need for 1080ti's and be done with it.. you guys know whats best. and it's obvious my answer should be a simple do this as i know whats up  . You have 5 GPU's to power, you can use 2 molex powered risers per molex cable making a total of 4. For the 5th, get a sata powered riser. DO NOT USE ADAPTERS. No need. Lets keep this page informative, as there is a lot of bs info out there on this very subject and others are in the same exact boat with me as to questions on how to go about the lack of PATA 4 pin molex cables in their below 1500 watt psu's. the question is what do i do. what is best. all these dam sata strings. are they all literal trash or can we retrofit them to 6pin or .... again. what do i do.
This isnt a "Page", this is yet another "Help me bro" thread created because someone is too lazy to read through the forums several threads covering THESE EXACT QUESTIONS. |

PROBLEM: Setting up the first 6 GPU’s with risers, I used all the molex cables and was left with only some 6 PIN to 4xSATA cables. So, when it came to powering the two 4 PIN AUXPWR ports on the Mobo, all I could use was a single 6 PIN to 4xSATA cable then use SATA to molex adapters to plug into each of the two AUXPWR ports.
On a scale of severity, how bad is that?
Those adapters always feel cool though.
Using Sata cables with the sata-molex adapters to power the motherboard is perfectly safe, the motherboard doesent use any power from them if you are using powered GPU risers, which in your case you are. You dont need to have those AUXPWR ports plugged in at all. If I can find a website/service to make some more molex cables for me that work with this particular PSU, is it still possible to use one single cable to power both AUXPWR ports?
Last question, there is allot of warnings about Molex to SATA adapters and to not use them with risers. Does that go for SATA to Molex as well, or all adapters that are sold ? i have a splitter; 8 PIN female that splits to 2x6+2. Are these a risk as well?
Sata to molex adapters should be avoided for powering risers (can be used with nvidia cards, not with amd). If you only have sata cables, and need to power risers, then buy the sata power type risers. As for the 8pin-2x6 splitters, those are pretty safe always. |

This is the main rigs shelve. 54 rigs can be placed here. Assume 1.2KW each it will put me below 65KW power. I intend to use no more than 60KW though. 16000cfm air flow. Hot air from rigs directly go to the back of the unit to be exhausted. Absolutely no hot/cold air mixing. https://ibb.co/hzYAtx This looks super kool, are those Onda motherboard type 8 GPU cases? Keep posting pictures as it fills up, would love to see progress on it. |

If you are smart 7, if you are not smart then only 2 gpus.
You claim to not be a miner, yet you give out mining advice? Please refrain from doing so unless you have personal experience. |

Tested on Rx 460, 470 and 570. Works as advertised, Hashrate and power consumption the same as claymore.
Has the advantage of being 0.35% cheaper, but thats about it. It looks and feels eerily similar to claymore.

The best scenario : you can build this rig from 44150$The worst scenario : the build cost you : 46950$I hope all this information helped you a lot  Quit trolling noobs dude  |

Pretty sure the “myth” started as windows cannot run more than 8 Vega GPUs. Then somehow evolved into it cannot run more than 8 GPUs. It is actually not windows that is the issue anyway.
My understanding is, it is the blockchain drivers that allow only 8 Vega GPUs. Never was a windows limitation anyway.
Windows HAD an 8 GPU limitation, the fall creators update and subsequent AMD/Nvidia drivers fixed it. Now we do not know if any OS or Driver limit exists anymore (max ive read people being able to do is 22 GPU's using mining cards and splitters etc). |

Genesis Mining switched to using these Onda/Colorful style B250 based motherboards for their latest facility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W43Vl8FeIfAYou can see the systems they are using near the end of the video - clearly 8GPU riserless systems. Now I wonder if they are the customers that the new "soldered CPU" boards were built for |

Can someone explain how all those 16 PCIe power connectors on that board are used?  The connectors on the short end are power inputs and the connectors on the long end are outputs??You got it figured. |

just upgraded to win10 from win7. my rx 470 4gb would not take aug 23 blockchain drivers. After that, I tried recent 18.1 drivers too. System recognizes rx 470 in device manager (with alert (!) ) but will not pair either of the previously mentioned drivers with the rx 470. I have strap timings changed on my 470 but that is all. Anyone have a suggestion besides more DDU uninstall (which is what I will try next).
You need to find, download and run ATI Pixel Patcher ... |
