Hi, I have a single rig running X3 1080 Ti's, which I've been running on NIceHash Quickminer for sometime, stats are below. My question is.... is there a more profitable, but still 'easy' miner software you could suguest please?
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti Temp Power Efficiancy DaggerHashimoto: 42.42 MH/s 56.c 209W 0.20 MH/J
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti Temp Power Efficiancy DaggerHashimoto: 40.12 MH/s 59.c 205W 0.20 MH/J
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti Temp Power Efficiancy DaggerHashimoto: 43.97 MH/s 59.c 227W 0.19 MH/J
Profitability fluctuates from about £5 to about £8 per 24 hours.
Kind regards.

Thank you tertius993, very detailed and informtive information, I appreciate it. I hadn't actaully looked into exactly what 1kWh per day would cost me, so you are absolutley correct, and pay the 21p per day! Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for your reply. If I look at whats currentyl being used, I use a smart plug which reports the power usage, its reporting:
Single PC, with x3 1080 Ti's Current Power: 39.0w Daily Average: 0.94 kWh
So, I was thinking of just buying enough to support this small rig to start with. I have a south facing garden. I have a single story kitchen extension, which has a flat roof, south facing, so could easily mount a some panels there.
With all the above in mind, It's also a bit of a hobby, and learning about green energy, what would I need to purchase? Is there any alternative options to power this?
Kind regards.

Hi, I currently have a single mining rig (x3 1080Ti's) running 24/7 on Nicehash, luckily been runing somewhere were I get free electricity. Sadly, that option is coming to an end. I would like to continue to mine, but not really worth it if I have to pay for the electricity, so was looking into solar power, which I know absolutly nothing about, but keen to learn. I am based in the UK, so the sun is somewhat limited. What are my options please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.

Hi there!
I bought on ebay pci-e cables that are 6p on one end (This plug into the breakout board of PSU) and 6p+2p on other end (this plug into your GPU or wherever you need them)
I am using 2 cables per GPU and never had any issue. But I did screw up when i connected only one cable to power my Octominer mining motherboard, and then the plug burned, now i am using 3 cables to power the motherboard. I use 17 port breakout board from ebay, these work great for me, and the one with 12 port, i didn't like so much, i think the connectors on them are not as good as on 17 port.
If you don't mind the noise, powering 6 vegas (optimised, of course, not at default settings where they pull 300 watt each) is easy with this PSU. Now my rigs are 8 GPU, i just use 2 1200W PSU, one powering 4 vegas, another 4 vegas and a motherboard, and that works nice for me and PSU is not as noisy as working with 6 vegas.
if you connect 2 separate PCI-e cables for powering the Vega (actually, vega will not work with one cable, both must be plugged) you will not have issues with burned connectors or instability. My only fuckup was that, powering a mobo with only one cable, and that was on 12-port breakout board and the plug burned. I think it was the plug fault on breakout board, not the cable itself.
cheers! Smiley
Hi, great info, I really appreciate it. Im having trouble finding the 17 port breakout board, do you have a link please?

A 6-pin can handle more then 75 watts of power. For example if a 6 pin were restricted to 75 watts then we would be getting 2.08A per 12v yellow cable 2.08*3*12 = 75 watts , but awg 18 are able to deliver up to 10A per yellow under optimal circumstances , so theoretically 10*3*12= 360 watts. But thats the cable then we have the terminals..
Standard terminals are rated for 8amps then there is HCS terminals that are rated for 11amps and Plus HCS terminals 12amps
so with a 6-pin pcie with 2*8*12= 192 watts from 6 pin pcie 18awg 8-pin pcie with 3*8*12= 288 watts 8 pin pcie 18 awg
So 6 pin 75 watts of power rating are vastly underrated.
Thanks for the detailed info. I currently use, just to play it safe, a coupler cable which goes from two 6 pins into a single 8 pin, so on a single HP 1200w server power supply and a 12x6 breakout board, I can run a maximum of 3 1080 Ti's (which require two 8 pin's each), as this would then require four 6 pins per 1080 Ti. Is this overkill? Or could I safely do away with the dual 6 pin coupler to single 8 pin, and just use a single 6 pin to 6+2 cable into each 1080 Ti 8 pin port?

Hi, great post. I am interested in the cables, connections, etc. The board connectors are only 6 pin, but your Vega 56's are two 8 pin? Are you using a single 6 pin cable to 8 pin, so two cables for each Vega 56? I have read so many differing opinions on how many watts a 6 pin cable can take and what an 8 pin plug requires, etc, so Id be very interested on your take on this.
Kind regards.

I getting fed up with people who don't know how to use their system then come here whining without providing any useful information. I will no longer ask. If the initial post has insufficient information I will simply ignore it.
Dual CPU systems and their operating systems are much more complicated that regular desktops. Learn how to use them properly before complaining here.
I apologise for making you fed up, it wasn't my intention. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I have two Xeon E5-2695 v4. When I run this miner, it only seems to want to use one physical CPU. Is there any way to use both?
Kind regards.
Try -t 36 --cpu-affinity 0x555555555555555555 or -t72 --cpu-affinity 0xffffffffffffffffff Thanks for the suggestion, I just tried both of the above, and neither worked, still only one physical CPU being used.

Thats excellent info, thanks. Using those guides, i have been able to compile ccminer with Compute Compatibly 3.0. I have previously been using MultiPoolMiner with a 1080Ti and CPU, so now need to use this compiled ccminer with the Grid K1 card. I tried a few commands with different coins and algos but get various 'unsupported' errors, including "Sorry neoscrypt is not supported on SM 3.0 devices", "Sorry, This algo is not supported by this GPU arch (SM 3.0 required)", "Invalid Device Symbol". Could someone point me in the correct direction please?

OK, cool, thanks for the info. I am new to this, and have been looking around for a guide on how to compile ccminer on windows, but couldn't turn anything up. Could you point me in the right direction of a guide or something to get me going please?

Hi, I have use of a Nvidia Grid K1 card (I know this is a bit old and wont earn much, but I would like to test it out), but whatever I use with it, I just cant seem to get anything to mine with it. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this card and mining / setup please?

sorry, I have a newb question. I have two CPU's, they show:
CPU 1 - Mining ETN @ 606 h/s: 1.48GBP/day CPU 2 - ↑↑↑ (see above)
Does this mean I am earning £1.48 a day or £2.96 a day?
Regards.
