Hey Phil  do you think   that short gigabyte is a better choice?

yeah  it is shorter  then the zotac  1070 is


I also see the mobo he picked  is 9 dollars cheaper

all 3 gigabyte  boards  I have are good.

b250

z270

aorus z270

So his pick should be good.

I ordered the gigabyte  it is 349 at amazon  I am going to put it in the katana build.  card comes on thursday.

I decided to standardize on Zotac 1070 Mini and Gigagyte Auros 1080ti for the NVIDIA farm.

4 rigs x 6 x Zotac 1070 Minis on a 1300w PSU (or 1200w x dual server PSU/pico/bb)

2 rigs x 5 x Auros 1080ti on a 1600w PSU (or 1200w x dual server PSU/pico/bb)

MSI Z270A-Pro, LGA1151 Pentium G4560/ i3-7100, 4GB DDR4 on fullzero's nvOC Linux

It will be a ZEC game all the way with this mini farm.

Mining strategy: Rent all the rigs at Nicehash Equihash marketplace.

Target ROI: 100 days or better.

well I had the zotac 1080 mini  it was a very good card.  and if you are building   six card rig all zotac it should be good.

I either rent  to nicehash    or mine skein  at the moment I am renting to nicehash.

The double bonus season is rosy at the moment when you renting out your hash for BTC payment, since BTC has rebounded well after the market correction.

I am still for ETH direct mining esp now USD$204 per ETH and if you have big enough hash, confirmations are still like clockwork at ethpool or dwarfpool. However ZEC pools are slow in my experience -- and i have tried them all -- I rather take BTC directly for a small fee by renting out at NH.

Those Zotac Minis are quite good - not much bigger than RX470 - I am in the process of unpacking them now. Will post pix later.

Assuming your electricity price isn't that high, aren't the 1060 3GB by far the best value for Nvidia? 

I am wondering why there is so much talk of the 1070s and 1080s?

space and cooling and power cost and resale value  all factor in to my mining model.


but  1060 6gb  and 1060 3gb do work  in some setups.

lots of space cheap power easy cooling  and you are correct.  I got my one test 1060 3gb for under 180 usd it did 300 zec using 110 watts.

I have 88 active IP nodes spread windows, linux and asics devices.

Anyone knows a good and "free" network tool to check hardware details of computers in a network/domain environment.

My current tool ... Advanced IP Scanner... has outlived its purpose.

thanks scryed -- I installed it and wow - very detailed information on my entire network and devices, esp Windows.

It however was not able to pry into the Linux devices to see the guts of the Linux rigs - ie. motherboard, cpu, ram etc.

This Lansweeper is probably Windows centric app.... or maybe I havent played with it enough yet....

It needs login access to the linux systems.

If all linux systems are the same password edit the global ssh from here:
Go to Scanning->Scanning Credentials

If not you'll have to do credential mapping, set an ip range and then map a credential to that ip range.

for those of you that use USA eBay there is an 8% promo today.

so the gigabyte 1080 ti above is 635 and an 8% ebuck reward of 50.80   brings price under 590 new.

Newegg taxes me so the deal is not as good.

But for New York Pa and many other states  this is a nice price.

@ scryed - thanks - done - very good this -- too bad only 100 free assets - not 100 free IP addresses LOL!

@ philip - thats an awesome find - I got the other Gigabyte Auros type which is bloody expensive and price for this Auros went up too.

The 6 x 1070 Zotac Mini is up and running - will post results later - too sleepy now.

MSI afterburner settings are 80% power limit, +200 core clock and +200 Memory. Had problems getting all 3 of them to run same (finally figured out the cpuminer was using too many cores and choking the gpus). Will let it run tonight and play with it tomorrow to try and get 5+ mh/w.

edit: That rate mh/w is from the miner. Not the wall. Also switched to mining ZEC at nicehash and getting 2100 sol/s with same settings.

this is about

1400  for 1080ti
  350  for  1080
 110   for   mobo
  40    for   ssd
 110   for   psu
   35   for  ram

2150 with no sales or deals     I think a pandaminer is now  about 2500 shipped to usa.

this will do say 1700 sols for zec  at 500 watts at kill-a-watt-meter   and be quiet .

the panda miner will do 2300 sols at  1100 watts maybe 1000 watts and be loud

Is 1080 half price of 1080Ti?

Phil - are you using any kind of network monitor?

Currently I just track by seeing if they are connected to Teamviewer and the ones on zpool just see if they are working on zpool wondering if you're using anything fancier.

Teamviewer gives me a popup now EVERY time i connect to any of my computers saying I've been flagged for commercial use! I have it installed on 20 computers, and it is non commercial use but man it's annoying I need a better solution.
