Anyone ever get that itch to buy mining gear?
It's about to kill me waiting for vega!!!
It's about to kill me waiting for vega!!!
I know what you mean, I've been waiting also to refresh all my rigs. Space/Power is limited for me so I have to go with full density all the way. If Vega doesn't turn out to be all that, then 1080's for all my rigs.
I had a chance earlier today to purchase multiple 1080's from newegg for only $369 each, but passed on that deal because Vega is sooo near!
the 1080 ti's do a lot of hashing.
I am at the point that I will do the katana build
with four of them and then have all 3 card 1080 ti rigs. which are about 2000 sols for zec at only 550watts at the k-watt-meter
I may do a 2 card 1080 ti with a katana as it will fit in the case and stay cool.
Have you considered this case?
It took some custom mounts to place the cards like that. The hottest one is in the middle at 65C.
Thanks for all your posts by the way. Very informative and helped me out choosing parts.
94 dollars - 15 rebate = 79

maybe I would get it. what sapphires are in there and whats the watts pulled for the unit at the wall/
I had 2 in a case like yours and they were getting as hot as 75c mining zec a few months back + you can turn this HAB case into an open case rig by taking off all the side panels. There are some hdd cages on the lower level which can also be unscrewed and taken out as needed.
2 480's and 2 470's all 8gb. Mostly mining eth at 125.7 mh/s. Right now they are on zec with 1260 h/s.
Don't have a watt meter but gpu-z shows 80 - 90W for the 470's and 90-100W for the 480's. They are clocked high as power usage is not a concern. PS is a corsair rm850i
poate imi poti arata niste poze .. 
As fi foarte recunoscator. Ms anticipat.
