Hey there everyone

Recently I bought a EVGA 750BQ  (https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=110-BQ-0750-V1), with the idea of powering 3 gtx 970 g1 gaming which is an specific 970 model that uses 2 power connectors (one 8 pin and one 6 pin) instead of one. When we talk about power, I am totally sure that 750w is enough to feed them, but I am really worried about the power connectors.

The problem is that I just noticed this psu has 3 PCIE cables and 5 molex.  I was planning to connect each gpu 8 pin connector to one of these 3 PCIE cables, and I was planning to use  2 to 6 pin molex adapters to feed the 6 pin gpu connectors. Since the motherboard I bought has one extra molex connection I believe I would be able to solve the gpus power connectors problem, but  is this safe? In this example I would have to power all my riser slots using the infamous SATA to molex adapter that comes with it.

By the way I cannot plug the PSU in the 970s  and test it by myself because the motherboard for this system will probably be delivered where I live only after Christmas.

I really need some help here, because in case I find out that the PSU I bought isnt going to work I need to return it to the seller as soon as possible and buy one that actually works

bitcion at 13k who's getting cold feet?


I hope my transfers go through, I'm delaying the mining equipment purchases and going to dump it all on BtC if it hits 11k

Sure, just like without Al Gore there'd be no Internet!   

Well today is the 1st day of the official Dec 21-30 batch ship dates. Waiting for that email notification.......

Well, none of the mining servers are accepting connections at the moment, so ethics aside you can't mine anyway...

I never had an "internal" Nicehash wallet... Only used to mine directly to my own BTC wallet address.
I suppose I could then just re-use the same then.

Vosk's new video on the D8P board was nice to see.   Seems pretty seemless to run 8 GPU, and I can only imagine doing risers for the extra 4 GPU to see if there are any quirks there.  But I am super stoked i jumped on the first batch.  first time for being a "first timer" lol;  I normally test the waters first.

I Hope to finally get my board up online soon so I can have everything at home consolidated into one machine outside finally.   Depending on how well it works, I may recommend them to friends to build using them and the frame that could be bought here on BCT in the future.

Phil;  Ive been meaning to get back to you about the cpu... i'm going to wait for the market to settle a little then resend the pm with confirmation before I shoot =)

Let me add some little Comments for Colorful vs the Onda 2.0,

Colorful Pro
Colorful have special cable to power SATA HD from the board (supplier sent both CPU and Sata cables)
Colorful have 4 Fan ports
Colorful Posted from first boot and ran 8 GPUs without touching the Bios.

Colorful Cons
Colorful only has two USB rear ports which is pain in initial quick  setup

Onda Cons
Onda was pain for me for first boot , only booted on built in GPU with no GPUs plugged until bios settings changed
Onda has only 2 Fan hearers

How do you like the Colorful vs the Onda?  Those are nice pictures, I've had a hard time finding pictures of either board with the right angle and clarity to see how much space is between the GPUs. It looks like with the right kind of airflow either board would work for 8 GPUs (at least the less power/heat hungry ones).

Hi gotminer,

What about MSI GTX 1070Ti Armor ?

Thanks

I'm as frustrated as you with the time it's taking to confirm transactions. During my tireless search for reliable places to speed up transactions, I've finally found a good person who has helped.

If you want your TX pushed, post the TX id here and I'll do my best to get it through.

If my service has helped you, please consider a tip.

I also had my Jan 20 batch ship but am still missing 1 order from Dec 10-20th and 2 orders from Dec 20th - 30th. Weird that they shipped the Jan 20th order early.

thanks appreciated !

Thanks !

Do i need to lower the power also ? TDP something like it ?

Huy guys !

3 quick questions for all you master of GPU mining.

1- I got some GTX 1070 on the way, i will be mining Zcash and other coin. What's the avg best Mod for those kind of cards ?

2- I have a rig on Win 10 using the august blockchain driver, works fine with the 4xx series but for the 5xx serie the voltage mod doesn't work and i'm pumping way too much watt for nothing. I red about installing Afterburner version whatever Beta 16 to manually set the voltage but I would prefer to use another driver that will take the Claymore command.
Any of you use another driver for your RX580 ?

3- I will be using Simple mining for my next farm. Does Simple mining have the issue that I have with win 10 ? (Guess not but who knows )

Thanks guys

I'm looking to pickup a number of GPUs for a project I'm working on. If you are interested in selling any of the equipment in my list, please let me know. Serious offers only.

How many are going to actually fit? 6?
I've been using a $40 Anker hub that ran 2 sticks at 954mhz flawlessly, but is limited to 900mhz with 3 on it. Expecting a second one today to get my other 3 sticks going. OK, not as clean as one unit, but significant cost difference, plus I've not seen anyone say how many sticks they can run on that hub you linked to and at what speed. If the ports are actually limited to 2.1A that may not be enough to crank the speed up.
