Update: I am sold out again.
Do you expect to restock any time soon?  |

I've had GPU's, risers and a motherboard fail.
Every GPU, Riser and PCIE slot it was connected to died. What caused it? No clue. It wasn't even mining at the time.. The entire system fried. The only things that survived were the SSD and PSU.
Scary. And it was only a 4 card 750w system.. it was a big $$$ loss.
Power surge protection on the system? Could it have been the supply? |

It's good looking, but I'm not really sure with performance and durability about this products. In my opinion, six PCIe slot it's enough (stability needed), except you are using Linux based OS. Sometimes people forcing 7-8 or more GPU's using Windows based OS. Mining process needs a stability. Don't force your devices.
This. In terms of the amount of time you'll spend trying to get those cards to work you'll earn your money back just going down a more reliable route. Lessons learned the hard way through experimentation and trying to use PCI-E splitters or m.2 -> PCI-E. The time invested and the troubleshooting just wasn't worth the small gain of adding an additional 1 or 2 GPU to a rig. I've found it's much better to just build another. Linux this isn't so much of an issue but windows mining you run in to resource issues and all sorts of wonderful bugs that'll keep you up until all hours trying to fix. |

Same I haven't had any permanent damage caused by a riser.. I've had risers that just didn't work.. and one that would bug out every now and then. Also as above I've always gone mid-range and not bought the cheapest I could find.. and always have some spare just in case.

I'm mining whatever is profitable on a daily basis with a small machine on BTX

I'm mining uranium. It's hard work, but what can I do when I live in Russia and was sentenced to this for a lifetime? I'm starting to develop this green glow, which is kind of cool. So I guess the old saying "Every cloud has a silver lining" is true after all.
Are you selling daily or going full Marie Curie and HODL for life? |

Can you mine on just one card while all are connected to see what that hashrate is?

Got the rig powered up with 3 x 1070 TI. I plugged in the 3 usb risers (powered by 4 pin molex not sata connector), and well the monitor wouldn't work with motherboard video. I presume I need to plug it in to one of the video cards for the time being to adjust the bios for which is the primary display? Do I need to plug the cards directly into the board first when setting up the drivers? I got two driver CD's.. one frm MSI and one from ASUS. Both for 1070 ti. Should I just go to nvidia web site and download the latest 1070 ti driver and ignore the drivers on the CD's?  Looking good.. Yep like the above said the bios automatically switched to one of the cards as the primary output. You can unplug and set the bios to keep the mainboard as the primary output, or just try and hook each of the cards up to a screen and see if it gives you an output. When you get it booted install something like VNC so you can login from your computer and maintain the rig that way. Nicehash is a gentle introduction and will let you test your hardware and know it's working.. but fees / profit rate aren't great.. if you want more profit you'll have to go for something like Nemo's, Awesome or similar and a pool |

Looks like a decent setup, what are you going to mine and / or software are you going to use for mining?

Did anone managet o run more than 8 nvidia on Windows?
^^ This - I had heard rumours that windows was planning or had adjusted to support more than 8 of the same graphics card.. can anyone confirm? |

Update - it was the riser. All 6 GPU's humming along Now watch the $$ roll in glad you got it working! |

Interesting to know.. I always thought it was just the memory type - will look at EVGA and others - thanks

Just the TOLUD but if you've done that already and the other cards are showing up it's a bit of a mystery.. I would be thinking it's a bad riser as well.. do you have one card on the MOBO itself? If not could you put one in to the board and then use the spare riser to test? Or just swap the riser with another?

My Rig:
Asus Z270-A
4gb Ballistics DDR4
120GB Adata SSD
1000 Watt EVGA G2 Gold
Intel Celeron CPU
3x EVGA 6GB 1060
3x Zotac 3GB 1060
When I set it all up one of my 1060's would not hold a steady voltage, it was fluctuating like crazy. It caused my system to reboot itself once every 6 hours or so. Oh well, 5 cards worked great. I yanked it out and RMA'd it, never had any other stability issues.
Got the new EVGA 1060 GB in today, get it all plugged in on the riser and fire it up. The fan spins up but windows detects nothing. Weird. I reset all my connections, still nothing. Tried a new VGA PSU power cable, nothing. Tried a different VGA power port in my PSU, nothing. I thought maybe this card was bad too, then I stuck it on a known working PCI-E riser and windows saw it and its currently mining.
I took the known working card from that other PCI-E riser and stuck it on the one I initially tried to put this new card on...and that one was undetected in windows as well. So both GPU's work, I got that far.
I thought well maybe its the PCI port on my mobo...switched the riser connector to the last open slot and still nothing, so I doubt its that. So I'm left with a bad riser...I think. I don't have a spare to test with unfortunately.
Am I overlooking something? Any ideas? Thanks!
I ran in to some TOLUD issues early on that wouldn't pick up my last 3 GPU's on my first 1060 rig? I had to set the BIOS to increase the TOLUD.. if you search on the forums there's some info have you come across that yet? |

Just be carefull which model of 3gb 1060 you buy, the 3GB MSI armor's hash higher than GIGABYTE GeForce GTX1060 WINDFORCE OC 3G for example (1832h/s vs 1475h/s on a 6 card rig)
Is that because of memory? You're getting 305 out of the MSI? |

Price for cryptocrrencies is higher in Korea than rest of the world. So an arbitration opportunity exists
I am looking for someone who is either visiting Korea or lives in Korea wand owns some bitcoins from international exchanges.
If you want to see your BTC for a profit (25% above the international market rate), PM me. I am willing to buy upto 10 bitcoins from any visitor to Korea.
Would like the deal to take place in person.
Will pay cash. (KRW or USD, whatever you want)./
EthereumVision where are you located? What exchanges do you have access to? I'll PM you as well.. |

Sometimes a few sometimes none though most days I'm watching and waiting. My mining is converted to FIAT daily and I keep some to HODL.

Just a suggestion and feel free to ignore but a good way to experiment is to pick up an old dual core machine like a lenovo think centre, or similar, and use a single NVIDIA 1050 or 1060. It'll let you do most things.. it takes about a week / two to reach the payout required for more pools but it's a cheap way to get a tiny rig going and the 1050 / 1060 shouldn't require any additional power depending on the second hand machine you get. You could go AMD as well but I'm not sure how much power the low end AMD cards draw.
I started this way and got a $20 machine from my local newspaper and a new 1060 on sale from Ebay.. I later sold that original machine for $50 ($30 profit) when I upgraded and built more.

I didn't see any difference in performance from the windows update. Security is an issue but I've installed tiny firewall to stop updates and / or any other traffic from getting in and out of my rigs. I set it to learn my miner and then turn it to lock everything else down. Just a note - tiny firewall shouldn't be installed remotely as when you run the installer it'll shut every connection including your remote. My rigs all updated last year, and the new update is set to automatically share updates to machines nearby which used my bandwidth  thus I went for the firewall and locked it all down. Do you really need the update? If it's security maybe lock it down with a firewall? Sounds like a lot of work to get it to update and possible down time  |

Thanks to the poster who discussed Authy.. you just saved me crying myself to sleep when my phone died.. I thought it would auto-sync with google for some reason.. yeah.. no.. goodbye google hello Authy.
