That's why I love the Sapphire dual ball bearing X-Fans. One screw to take off the fan for maintenance and cleaning and no wires to run or deal with. Replacements are $12.50 each including shipping from Sapphire and they are super easy to replace.

Hybrid Cards are far superior,

The Cards themselves stay remarkably cooler then their air-cooled brethren,
These following 10 cards are all EVGA 1070ti SC Hybrids,
Overclocked to
Core +180
Memory +1300
Power Limit(watt) 113 watts per card,
Running Under SMOS

and here are the results for those ten cards, look at those temps, and these run 24 hours a day,

You will Never find this low of card temps, unless you are spending a fortune on Air-conditioning, or live in an Arctic environment year around,

I am struggling with my new setup. I have 3 1080ti and a 1k PSU(rosewill) If I set the power limit to anything above 200w when either ewbf or dstm miner start up the system crashes. 1000w should be plenty for 3 of those cards but it seems that the sudden surge in ask for power from all 3 psu right at the same time is to much for that PSU.

@dstm is there anyway to add a staggered start parameter? Or do you have any other ideas?

$989 for a 1070ti lol is there any roi in that price?

they have a ton in stock but its madness to pay asic prices for a gpu

you can find vega frontiers for 900ish and titan xp star wars ed for 1100
both better buys imo , at least they are closer to msp

gona grab another titan xp and two more frontiers i think next week

I have a 4 vega build , 2 frontiers 2 56 flashed to 64 and with power play mod and undervolt
39 eth 700 pascal around 160 watts

In my areas there are basically 2 types of ads.

BUYING RX 470 4GB GPU FOR $100 CASH

Well, your best bet with such a low budget is to get RX 470s, a cheap C2D or AMD CPU and mobo with some mining OS or pirated version of windows and RAM. Expect lots of heat if you're going to run miners- some setups may seem to be pretty harmless but they're pretty much space heaters in terms of power consumption. They will make a lot of noise depending on what make and build and fan speed you're using, but in this world of Bitcoin and alt coins that's pretty much unavoidable.

This is not an if but when.  POS for ETH might come sooner than expected if the China 0 fee "hacking" continues...in which case XMR difficulty would go through the roof.  I hope people enjoy playing video games...

It would be better to see more mining equipment. What is actually letting people down to bring them on the market? Since in most places the cost for electricity is high, so why are there no other solutions?

Before we had these usb sticks, there is an bitmain router, though it is old equipment and not profitable nowadays, why is it all gone?

On Windows 10 running the latest ATI drivers and RX470's, they don't report their temps to the OS (using OpenHardwareMonitor, but Claymore seems to get them) - but the larger issue is that the fan control doesn't seem to work.  I normally have claymore set to have them at 80%, but I literally will see the fans not spinning, then plug in the dongle and they start spinning.  Plus with the dongle, then the temps show up even if the video output is disabled...  My systems with Nvidia cards have no problem just having the one dongle for the whole system...  For me it's more important to have everything being monitored than save a couple bucks, so I put them on all the cards just to be sure.  If at some point I don't need them, I can easily just use them individually on systems.

I think Antminer won out and at this point, people should be thankful they are still committed to making sure miners are available on a retail basis for the public.    If another company won out, likely that would not be the case at this point in mining.
