BTW, I moved all my rigs to selling hash at Nicehash Equihash/ZCASH and Cryptonite/XMR market to fully leverage the nice rise of BTC now at 809$. Poloniex and Shapeshift is taking too much from me over time - rather cut off all of that and go to Nicehash and get paid directly in BTC. It may work out to be the same but at least I get BTC upfront.
For my config ETH is still most profitable. So despite high T and high power consumption should work on it

Hi Phil - have you got the EVGA mobo yet - pls do review the spacing - seems that this mobo has better clearance compared to the Biostar. Thanks

Clearance in which direction(s) are you concerned about?

I think space between PCI slots - to have a better gap between cards

Little bit of offtop:
Bitmain just started to sell new batches on their R4 miners for home usage.
Thinking about buying 9.7TH/s version
I know that Phil has an experience to use one

I just switched back to ETH from ZEC. Profitability just changed.

You're losing a considerable chunk of profit using nicehash. Mine directly to the exchange as exchanges pay network fees. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsBv5Tko.jpg&t=665&c=UOsbQ0s2iLi47Q)

Till this hike remains, I guess it isn't a bad idea to move to nicehash, specially if you lack time to exchange the altcoins on exchanges.

Time is shown as today but last info was at 438 am my guess is it will be delayed until thursday. at the moment I have a wandering us post office shipment that should be delivered to Conectitcut last it was in Pennslvania plus this mobo should be at my house and it is ? . Holiday suck for shipping.

Of course....
I want to leave town today, and one of my miners starts to act up. This is the 5-card machine I rebuilt this last weekend. The machine rebooted and now when start.bat gets executed, I get a popup that says "EthDrcMiner64.exe has stopped working... <yada yada>" immediately when it starts (after the environmental variables are set). I've tried both ETH mining and ZEC mining.
Any suggestions? It has 5 cards, I may go pull one and see if that changes anything. *edit: this did not change anything.... *

Okay try new amd 16.11.3 after you uninstall current amd. do 1 card delete zec claymore 7 8 9 9.1 9.2 but save your bat on the desktop. install clay 9.2 drag your bat in and see if 1 card works if so add second card. yeah it sucks but risers go bad easy and anyone riser could be the issue. or a corrupt amd file or a bad claymore (rare) file or a bad windows install or the rarest of all a bad linux install delete of amd 16.11.3 and reinstall 1 card at a time is around an hour. oh fedex has rescheduled my mobo for thurs.

I assumed that the spacing of the edge connectors was a standard for an ATX board, so any board will fit in any case. The spaces between the slots is ATX standarised to a tight tolerance. Some boards will leave out some of the slots, but the ones that are there are still on the same spacings relative to the screw holes and position from the board edges. Board widths are also standardised within a few varients - ATX, miniATX, microITX, extendedATX probably being the most common varients. The depth of the boards CAN vary a fair bit, the ATX standard was somewhat loose on that part of the spec, and that CAN in rare cases cause board fit issues on some small cases and deeper boards.

I am pretty sure they will be the same fit.
right now the evga is cheaper by quite a bit and it may be a better built board

In Taiwan, EVGA and Biostar are no pushovers - both are reputable brands next to the big boys MSI, Asus etc specs wise - looks better, I will test a unit or two. but i will miss the on-board touch sensor for off/reset/turbo etc. on the Biostar
