here are the two mobos left to right
three cards on each    six card total

4 cards on one psu two cards on the other psu






as a complete aside  here is an aorus  1080 ti   and a msi 1070

note slot 1 is open  I plan to fit the single slot  galax 1070 slim  in slot 1  it should run  easy and cool next to the  msi 1070


look at width of that aorus far right.

Yeah  and 2499/776 watts at worst = 3.22 sols per watt at the wall

or 2506/ 750 =   at best = 3.34 sols per watt at the wall  


Now I am gentle on the psu  it is a titanium rated for 1500 watts I am doing 776 watts    this maxes efficiency.

I am gentle on the cards  all are about 65-70% tdp settings

yeah  in theory you can do 4 1080 ti's pull 776 watts.

I just have been sick and busy  and did this  lazy    I have 2 three card  builds    they both have three cards.

one psu is an evga 750 p2 it does a mobo and 2 cards

pne psu is a rosewill tokamak  100 watts it does a mobo with 3 cards and 1 card from the other mobo using a riser.

this is the mobo  that has 2 msi plugged in  note they do 649 and 642 h and they are 59c and 62 c  one of them  is one the tokamak psu



this is the three card mobo all founders cards  all three are on the rosewill psu with the meter at 776 watts   note they all do about 619 sols

the aorus gives me the best numbers  but it is 3 slots  well 2 ¾ slots wide.

all the founder editions seem to be the same.

I have 3  zotac and  1 pny founders
I have 1 more zotac founder coming

Here are some good msi  better then my founders I have 2.

you can get them cheap in newegg canada

https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137115

they seem to be the lowest priced ones on newegg  ca

they do better then  the founders.

here is a few shots of 1080 ti's
4 cards the
power at wall = 776 watts on a hot meter  other meters   would show 750 watts


that meter shows 1 mobo and 4 cards below   note the msi  is on a riser and is powered by   that same psu  but runs off the mobo on the right.

Power

1060
1070
1080
1080 ti

All can do 3.2 sol per watt

Even better.

I will post some numbers later.

I am on my iPad so links are a pain to post .

But my thread has info on the Galax katana 1070 thin slim single slot .

Just read the last few post on the thread.

@ theyankeeswin

    I have been looking for an excuse to buy one of them.

I will order and review it when it comes.   It is the thinest mining gpu with some balls.

It could be good for biostar z170 builds

no riser needed  

one katana
one 1080 ti
one katana
one 1080 ti

should fit easy with the founder edition

 http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-GeForce-GTX-1080-TI-Founders-Edition_p_123.html

It is a bit high at 432 with shipping.

but it should allow for  4 card builds  and no over heating.

I have an interest in the card.

I shot an email to  jack@galaxytech.com

here it is :


I just ordered the Galax katana  1070 Order #GX......

I will be reviewing it on bitcointalk.org

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1877588.msg18882834#msg18882834

I do not want a price break but please ship it to me quickly.  I would love to be able to  let the people on bitcointalk know  that it is a good mining card.

Thanks Philip A......





I hope he likes mining and sends it to me quickly.

This could be a great card for mining in cases

You sound like a pedal to the metal run the cards hot and hard.

If that is how you mine  get the 4gb.

If you mine at 80 %  and just do a cruisin along style of mining the cards will last  so get 8gb

I would never buy a 3gb card to mine.

No one knows  what coins you will be mining 1 month from now.  and in a month 3gb could be hurt.

zer coin is a knock off of zec but it needs 8gb to mine it.

If zec gets compromised by asics and changes it al-gore-rhythm to only allow 6gb to only allow 8gb the 3gb cards are close to worth less.

so at 200 for 3gb and 220 for 6gb I would get 6gb.

Now of course if  high zec profits lasts for 75 days you would be okay

 

A good question.  card price is king.

if you get a 1060 6gb to do 320h and you spent 220 usd you spent 1 dollar for  1.45h

if you get 1070  8gb  to do 420h  and you paid 375usd you spent 1 dollar for 1.12h

if you get a 1080 8gb to  do 500h and you spent 450 usd you spent 1dollar for 1.11h

if you get a 1080ti  11gb to do 700h and you spent 615 usd spent  1 dollar for  1.13h

I got this 1080ti below for a good price


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDN4TXK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?


I got one for 669 free ship 0 tax
I got one for 675 free ship 0 tax
I got one for 615 free ship 0 tax

they work well enough

I got this 1060 for 220


https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-ZT-P10600A-10L-Compact-Graphics/dp/B01IDCOOIU/ref=sr_1_2?

at the price of 220 it was a good deal .

 l decide to go all 1080 ti as I have a place to sell them

no regrets with converting most but not all of my rx 470's and rx 480s to this gear.

buy from amazon they will let you return an open box

if it is a dedicated mining rig 150 watt is okay more like 125.

Say a 50 watt cpu
a ssd or a hdd
a few fans
a stick of ram

I don't have these issues much as I don't use  6 card rigs

I prefer 4 card or 3 card setups.  with overhead for the psu's

as far as I know you are the only one from this forum.

most of us simply were told sold out sorry.

you are not reading what I read.

he said he is using a 1200 watt plat corsair.  it is pulling 50 amp's it rates 100 amps it is single rail.  he mentions corsair link that is software reading of what the rail is pulling 50 amps.  his psu would allow up to 100 amps.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139205

he could use a 1000 watt psu  all of the below are 83 amp and he pulls 50 amp  this is good.   all of these are 83 amps and would be safe with some overhead.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139139&cm_re=corsair_1000_watt-_-17-139-139-_-Producte wants to know if
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139194&cm_re=corsair_1000_watt-_-17-139-194-_-Product
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139082   the rail is 83 amps no worries

1060 cards are 90 watts or 100 watts  so six card rig should be under 6 x 100 = 600 + 50 for other parts or 650

650 of 1000 is a safe load.

bigger cards pull more  so all 1070's may need the 1200 .

and all 1080 ti's may not do it on a 1200 watt



your other setup should do under 500 watts

smOS builder  ty said it does not work with nvidia at the moment.  I have not tried at all

Maybe with good settings.

it is both if you are looking to prop the price up.  here is why?

say cap is 100    and 1 new every day.

you buy the 1 or most of it people holding the older 100 can rush to sell due to your prop up.  since there is only 100  you can afford to buy from them .


cap is 10,000 and 1 new every day  you feed money into the 1 easy peasy but 5000 of the old looks to bail that is 50x the cost  to prop price.


better way is use actual numbers there is 110,000,000 in old coin with ZEC    NVIDIA is worth 52,000,000,000 billion or almost 475x  all the old coins   they could buy them all at current price fairly easy.

dash  is 660,000,000 old coins   nvidia is 78 times bigger   much harder to prop price is old holders sell off.

So  consider the wealth of all people that win with ZEC. 

INTEL WINS
NVIDIA WINS
even AMD WINS
ASUS
ASROCK
BIOSTAR
MSI
EVGA
SAPPHIRE
ZOTAC

list goes on  they can easily price the current daily price /production  and with ZEC the older pile is not scary as it is small.


compare to BTC   144 coins at 1500 = 2.16 million a day

but back pile 21 billion

dude the r9 280x pull tons of power


you need this psu

evga 1300 g2

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438011&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=evga_1300_g2-_-17-438-011-_-Product


and that is for the five 280x cards

I wonder what  mobo do you have,


I would consider a separate build for the 1080 ti

no you should have asked first before you did the sends.

BTW the one with big fees is now good.
