1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Octominer vs Onda B250 on: March 02, 2018, 12:03:00 AM
I dont have an Onda to compare, but I have been running an Octominer setup with 5 cards (2x 1080ti, 3x 1070ti) for several weeks now with Windows 10 and Nicehash and the responsiveness of this setup has been fine for me. The one issue that i did encounter was that when i used a USB WiFi adapter, the browser would be unworkable while mining. I have since switched to Ethernet and that issue has gone away. I can also confirm that remote management also works fine on the Octomobo.

Due to PayPals limitations we do not accept payment with Paypal anymore. Paypal froze our account, and told us they do not support the sales of cryptocurrency mining equipment. They froze all our funds on our paypal account til May. Sad
Has anybody experienced something like this with Paypal?

We accept Crypto payment only from now!

You should speak to them and ask for the terms and conditions that they claim were violated. They have no issue participating in sales of computer hardware, so they should be fine with your business. You may have to update your website to downplay mining and/or also mention use for more generic computing tasks.  Another option to consider is opening an eBay, Newegg or Amazon store. You would have to increase costs a bit to offset the fees, but it could greatly expand your customer base. Lastly, you could consider wholesaling to one or more stores.

I replaced the 7 deltas with gentle typhoons in order to make the rig suitable for in the house. I am currently running 2 1080ti founders editions, 2 1070ti founders editions and a 1070ti mini. Temps are 60 or below on all cards and the rig is pulling 880w at the wall. I am very happy with this setup now that the fans are quieter.

P.S. Octominer, please do not cut the cables on the deltas in future batches. I would have preferred to have the option of using pwm control rather than just a Molex connection.  I would also recommend a grill above or below the psu mounting location to provide for better air flow to the psu.

How are the sound levels now with the gentle typhoon fans? Also how are the temps compared to the Deltas?



My house was 77F today because of the February heatwave in Boston. I don’t have a sound meter, but the GTs change the sound of the case from unbearable to gentle white noise (IMO). I previously used these GTs for a water cooled setup, so I knew that the noise wouldn’t bother me. Another anecdotal point to note is that the rig has been running in my dining room (right next to the kitchen) and I have not heard one complaint from my wife since I switched the fans. With the deltas running, my family wouldn’t eat in the kitchen till I shut it down. I have seen a 3-5 degree temperature difference between the fans with my setup of 2x 1080ti and 3x 1070ti. Once my server closet is finished, I will see whether an insulated wall makes the deltas bearable.

P.S. There are many reviews showing the performance vs sound characteristics of GTs. I wouldn’t say that they are the best, but they are consistently at the top in water-cooling because of their ability to move air through restricted spaces with relatively lower noise

got my chassis', motherboards, psu's etc. today.   I did not receive the 24-pin ATX jumper so I had to fashion one out of a paperclip.   Also, my ASUS Strix 1080ti's are too long to fit in the case with the fans installed.   I haven't tried my MSI Duke 1080tis but they are even longer I think so no chance.  Rather disappointed because I have quite a few 1080ti's I had planned to put in these cases but they are too long.     I do have some cards that will fit but going to have to figure something else out for my largest 1080 ti's

right now I'm just 'burning it in' with 2x 1080tis and a 1050ti installed.   The 1080tis are crammed up next to each other so I could see if there were heat issues.  So far, none - at 65% power the hottest card is 64c.  we'll see how it goes with all slots filled and in summer time

Yep. You really only have 11 inches to work with if you want to usr push pull fans. In addition to founders editions, the EVGA 1080ti SC and SC2 will fit. The Asus strix and EVGA FTW3 will not fit. My recommendations for improving the case are: make it 1-2 inches deeper so that more cards fit and widen/heighten it so that 2 atx psus fit.

I have been very satisfied with my new board and case though I would note 2 issues that I have come across:

1. I needed to remove one exhaust fan in order to connect the video out on my first gpu, and

2. I cannot find the pin layout for the front panel of the case.

That being said, the price to value of this kit is very nice.
