Im finding exactly that right now. Slowly upgrading to 1070’s

I have the same setup as above. 6pin to 8pinEPS with a pigtail to power the psu via the barrel jack. Works great and as said the main load is on the 8pin EPS straight from the 6pin cable.

Yep its fine. Ive got 1070’s and 1060’s on the same rig ans they work fine.

As Undefined3145 has said I set a custom fan curve to try and keep temps at around 60c.

The instructions are pretty straightforward to follow and there are even examples of what to put in your bat file.

To get round the antivirus problem add the folder to your exceptions list in your antivirus program

Where did you get the 260w PICO from? Only ever seen the 160w version.

4G decoding enabled? I run my system from the integrated graphics so i dont need cables running to the gpus. Works fine, check your riser connections. Dont run your hdd from the same cable as anything else.

Normal version cards are easier to resell. If you are going to mone eth then dont go for the 3gb card unless you want to upgrade again in the coming months. Gtx1060 6GB cards are great. I had five of them until i began to reinvest and go for 1070’s to consolidate my rigs without switching to GDDR5X mem in 1080’s.

So whats limiting it exactly? Can someone give a detailed explanation?  Ive got one on order but if its no better than the standard 1070 ill save some money.

Ive found problems with any driver newer than 372.20

Go for 8gb of ram i started with 4gb and had problems and increased to 8gb and solved some issues. I have ASUS dual 1060’s and the dual refers to the FANS not the fact that windows sees them as double.

Keep one psu for just gpus and one to power the mobo and risers. That way if the mobo psu dies it essentially switches off the system. Mixing the connections can cause problems. Better yet just buy one big single rail psu and dont worry about connections.

Should be fine as the atx power supply dying means the mobo is off so no signals are going to the gpus so they essentially get switched off. But they will still have a power supply from the server psu. Just remember that incase you dismantle the rig.

Each pcie riser can draw 75w and your mobo about 150w (based on the pico rating being 150w) so you can work out a maximum estimated usage of 525w if everything is maxed. If the risers draw their max then thats 375w.

Use a pico psu for the mobo and run it direct from a 6pin pcie connector. Thats how ive got all my rig running from a 1200w HP server psu.

All these questions have been answered before numerous times. Please use the Search function for any future questions.

1) I have version 006 and 007 both with 6pin pcie connections for power

2) DON’T use any adaptors/converters if you dont need to. Use a dedicated 6pin power cable. Throw away the sata—> 6pin converters they are rubbish.

3) As far as i know they work with all motherboards equipped with the relevant pcie connections, 1x,8x,16x

Have you enabled 4G decoding in the bios?

Googled it and locked rhe pages in memory and now ive gone from 83hs average to 147hs average 

They look good. What would the price be?

There are options to have a Low Intensity dag file creation and to stagger the gpu loading. Take a look at claymores thread for the options. Its worked for my rig when it restarts due to windoze it starts up no problem. You can reduce the clock slightly too. That helps.
