Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized.

Yeah, those SCE tier charges are brutal. I love the way they allocate 389 kw as standard tier 1 max......That is ridiculous for anyone living in SoCal. How big are your rigs that you're pulling a $2000 bill?

currently have 12 rigs at the main location; 4-5 1080Ti's each rig so my main panel is fully maxed out. Have a few more spread out other locations.

Waiting for leasing agents all month. It's like pulling teeth but I've been looking for locations for the past 2 years for other businesses as well, it's just a slow process since property is expensive finding deals is not easy.

I am pretty sure the answer is 200-250w per card..
But if I plan on running 1080ti's at 70% what is there per card wattage?

Trying to figure out how many cards I can run off a Evga GC 850w/Corsair AX850 or if I should upgrade to a 1000w like a RMX 1000w.

Just got the 850w from Microcenter and I can return it within 30days.
I have (2) 1080ti Founders and I am thinking if mining stays profitable I would eventually get more..

I have an Asus z270 AR which can hold up to 7 boards if I put them on risers.
I doubt I would ever go higher an 4-5.. Realistically I won't go past 3, but who knows.

Thoughts?

you can do 3 cards on a 850 watter.

4 if you clock at 60-70 tdp.

and  once you go over 80 tdp it is pretty much wasting power.

Thank you Phil!
From everything I read, the 70 tdp is the sweet spot for hash/watts and with electricity being $0.2 per kwh here in the summer.. It matters..
If mining stays around throughout the summer, after I figure out what my avg electricity bill is with the A/C, I may get someone to install solar panels on my roof..

Good afternoon, fellas!
Please help me resolve the following problem:
Motherboard: Asus prime z270-p
Graphic cards: Gigybite GeForce gtx 1070 (x6)
Problem:
I launch the benchmark Nicehash, the first GPU is shown to work correctly with all algorithms, the second with only a half, the rest of GPU work only with dagger hashimoto. I have tried to reset computer anf download drivers but none of this has helped. The most surprising thing is that the very first time I have launched the benchmark 5 of 6 GPU worked perfectly. So it is obvious that all graphic cards are fine. And the problem is with something else (Nicehash itself perhaps).

Thanks in advance to those willing to help.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming Edition , 11GB GDDR5X

I am trying to decide between these 4 cards. I plan to buy two of them.  Price is all around the same as it is slim pickings in new zealand.  I already have an Aorus, I like it alot but I want to get two or three cards in one rig eventually and Aorus takes up too much space.

Any recommendations?

I might have other options but these cards I can pickup today so if there is a better recommendation than those cards please post also.

Need sone help getting my rig up and running, issues with internet really.

I had Windows Server 2012 R2 on an ssd for a htpc build and it worked fine, so I literally just plugged it i to my new mining rig and hardlined the ethernet, nothing detected. Went to the Asus driver on another pc, thumb drived them over, wouldnt install said no intel adapter detected..

Going to just reinstall windows at rhis point.. cant find my windows 7 disc atm.. so here are my options

Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro with Update
https://imagine.microsoft.com/en-us/Catalog/Product/82

or

Windows Server 2016
https://imagine.microsoft.com/en-us/Catalog/Product/524

I am running the following
ASUS z270 AR
i3 6100
(2) ASUS 1080ti FE

Only other thing I can think of is sucking it up and buying a Win 10 key.. but I think I will find my win 7 when I can clean out the pod in my front yard in 2 weeks.

Any help is appreciated

Windows 10 works fine for mining!
Download it on a another computer USB it to the system you need it in

You can get the .iso files for most OS at getintopc.com. Have used them a lot and they are pretty good.

in cases blower style are better for cooling

Has anyone tried the beta that smos put out yet? Am flashing drive now to give it a shot, just wondering if anyone else has tried it yet. Will let ya know how it goes for me.

Just download EWBF make a bat like this

miner --server equihash.usa.nicehash.com --user 19HD18H6LiKNEPt4paZ6B5RVkwV5Lw3vbp --pass x --port 3357 --pec

REM   Aorus MSI afterburner settings
REM   75% tdp
REM   +75   core
REM   +300 ram
REM   55 % fan manual
REM   Produces 730 Hash

Replace with your btc wallet of choice and if you are not in the US change the server too.  Can get an extra 150-200 using this over nicehash.  Please note my bat file may not be perfectly tweaked as I  just started  myself.

To be honest I don't think the pass matters.  I used to have mine set to z but then I saw Phil post his and it said x so I just changed it blindly :p.  But yer dont think it matters.

I thought so)
So.. I just change the server, Bitcoin address, and the program automatically will detect my hardware. It also chose itself what to mine and will essentially be Nicehash like in that regard. Including it's withdrawing policy? And will there be anything to monitor, keep in mind?

get the evga founders   pick it up today.


password can be x or any letter be sure to end the bat fill with --pec as it will show  power usage.

try 3.5 sols  per watt  at your worst number and 4.3 per watt as your best

for founders edition cards

do tdp 70%
core 200
ram -500
fan 75%

you will be about 690  but use less power then the aorus it kind of evens out.  and the aorus is big for a case.

all my zec is from ewbf

look at my nicehash account  click equihash

https://www.nicehash.com/?p=miners&addr=1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje


You do not want to auto switch .  This is not the time for me to explain why  as I need a lot of time to show the down sides of it.

Could you do the same advice for others nvidia ? especially 1070 (and 1060 if you remember the settings for it too) ?

This may have been answered already, but booting my nvoc model rig, trio 2 1080ti 1 1070 card. getting the image on to the cardnow. set up for zcash. Recommended power limit? Individual power limit? Anything else that needs to be changed aside from wallet etc? Thanks
