Ah, we're halfway there calling things what they are

Or just flip this chart on its head: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/dash-difficulty.html

A week ago I estimated the diff to be around 18M in December, oh how wrong I was.

It should work, yes. If you replaced the risers and swapped cards around (to see if one card is faulty or whatever card you try to use as the 6th) then I don't know what could be wrong. It could be a BIOS option or a faulty PSU but both of which is unlikely.

Wattage is not "pushed" to the cards, it's "pulled" so it can't have too much power in that sense. The card will decide how much it will try to use.

If anything, the PSU might not be able to feed all the cards so it won't even turns on. But that's unlikely unless your PSU is really low capacity.

What motherboard and PSU do you have?

Have a little effort to google stuff; you don't need to enter passwords and such, you can even make shortcuts like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" -i  192.168.1.x --Password password

It's recommended to setup Teamviewer on all rigs to only accept LAN connections (Incoming LAN connections >accept exclusively) so your rigs are safe even if Teamviewer screws up or something. And that way you can also use your rig's local IP addresses to connect instead of the Teamviewer addresses.

I use the same setup as xxcsu and I just have a 3rd monitor dedicated to Teamviewer windows. I also have a neat macro that automatically opens all Teamviewer windows and nicely resizes and puts them on the 3rd monitor.

I believe so since the 2-wire cables are advertised to be working with popular ASICs.

EaseUS Partition Master works well and it's free. There's also Paragon Migrate OS to SSD but it's not free.

Good that you did, risers are almost like disposable, there are so many that's faulty.

It should be all good though, just remove the other 4 cables from the 6 of the PCI-E, you can see the difference (6 vs 2 wires):




So only the middle two wires matter, the rest doesn't need to be plugged in.

You need 1 lead going into 1 slot. You won't be able to fit 3 leads (3x1.291mm diameter) into the breaker as it can only handle wires up to 14 AWG (1.628mm diameter).

The first PCI-E cables you linked only have 2 wires so those two should be enough.

It's not a must at all. Even if you run several wallets 0-24 for staking or whatever a HDD is fine.

I use SSDs though as I like the speed, they can take a beating (highly shock resistant), no HDD noise and they're much smaller and barely more expensive.

Sounds like you have some faulty risers. I experienced both of your issues and the solution was to find the faulty riser and replace it completely.

Yeah G1 1070s have the worst fans I have ever dealt with. 10 cards and all the fans died within 6 months meanwhile I still have 750 Ti's recently retired after 3 years with fans being in mostly good condition.

The ebay replacements were even worse (no surprise there) and Gigabyte refuses to sell replacement fans (and the warranty procedure would take 1-2 months every 6 monsth of working).

I have some 120cm Noctua fans on the way I'll be experimenting with once I get them.


The fans on the Gigabyte 970s were the second worse, all crapping out in a year - year and a half.

But they are all crappy sleeve bearing and now I have AORUS 1080 Ti's which finally have double ball bearing fans so we'll see how long they'll last.

I don't have ASICs but I don't see any issues with your setup as long as you plug each of the 12V leads into different slots on the breaker (like on the pic but with 9+9) and if you properly cut and prepare the leads.

Basically, the L3+ apparently has 4 boards each of which requiring 2 x 12V PCI-E connections (and the 9th to power the controller board). So essentially 800w/8 =100 watts per 12V PCI-E which is 8.3 amps and 16AWG wires are rated much higher than that (16A maybe?).

Maybe others can chip in as well.

You have the same link for the different PCI-E cables.

That's another reason it's not worth buying miners for such a price (unless with a massive farm which can make that 0.5 BTC back in days over the usual profit - which it probably can't because all xevan coins are small).

Either sell your miner to a fixed number of miners or you might as well sell it for anyone for a small price or something. But breaking the initial promise of only selling to a few miners then fucking them over by selling to others as well is kind of a scammy thing to do.

Not density but better power efficiency.

I don't think many people would buy this for Eth anyway considering its state and direction. And for other algos it will be probably bad in terms of price/performance with its initial cost but who knows.

It will be apparently built with 16nm fabrication technology so it's kind of a boring, slightly juiced up 1070 (or slightly gimped 1080 in case of GDDR5X) with nothing new.

And its power consumption will be apparently 180 watts, same as most factory overclocked 1070s.

Therefore I think it will only do 32-34 Mh/s doing Eth but being a new card will probably mean it will be overpriced for miners.
