Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized.

Phil, When you are ready to sell those Diamond 480's I will take them. Thanks

most likely late may.

early may buy solar and I will be setting the array up for the summer.

I will be shifting and moving gear around since my garage will be down to very little gear on June 1

(that is the day summer power rates kick in).

Just found a reasonably priced waterjet shop so am moving along on the custom rack system. Would you want to try one and critique it?

Maybe I am really suffering with spring allergies so I am inclined to say no to any idea.
Especially since I misplaced the Pico and breakout board sent to me the other day.
I hope to feel better tomorrow. I hope to find the missing gear and I hope to feel a little better physically .

I am getting another 1080 ti from newegg tomorrow

And one more on Friday.  I will be close to 8100h for Zec.

Damit man! Feel better! And congrats on the new cards!

Right now I sound like Harvey Fierstein

Every spring for 30 years  I get the post nasal drip sore throat and I swear My voice changes to a copy of his.

all i want to do is eat  some Benadryl  and sleep for a few days.

Have to say I am liking the 1080 ti's

3 card rigs do 1900h at 610 watts

I could do 4 rigs  easy peasy.

The best price I got was 669 - 50 ebucks = 619 new card really big ebay seller. 200,000 plus feedbacks.

If I new what I was doing  I would have grabbed more at that price.

Newegg and Amazon charge me 7% sales tax

Provantage had some good deals

http://www.provantage.com/msi-gtx1080tiaero11goc~7MSTI0M9.htm   this was about 707 with shipping

Finally got my first nVidia rig up and running last night.  Where is a good guide on how to tweak it, or is it best kept stock?  Will be mining ZEC (or derivative).

use msi afterburner

set power to 75%

core to 100+
memory to 300+

fan 75% manual

work from there

1080 ti  will do 600 to 720  depends on how much you push it

1080     will do 480 to 525   "       "             "

1070     will  do 410 to 440  "         "              "
1060     will do  310 to 330   "       "              "


All of them  will do better the 3 h  per watt at the wall  when you use 65% to 75%  power limits.

I loaded 378.78 drivers

I use EWBF software.

I like how the garage looks at night


this is a 1 card 1080 ti bottom right on the left is a 3 card ti



here are the msi afterburner settings



642 h


 
settings and miner data


bat file I point to nicehash




3.3b mining folder


nicehash  it is my nvidia4  blue highlite
it will flux from 550 to 750 on nicehash

So will Afterburner will work on non-MSI cards?

I got the itch.  Going to order/CL some other 1070,1080,1080ti to fill out this PSU/rig.

 screenshots are there  showing  it will.


and if it does not zotac  has a nvidia only that works

Sometimes if you mix and match  cards   msi afterburner takes the power % away.

Since 65-75%  settings  save a lot of power  you can use the zotac instead. So far  that never  stopped me at setting 65-75% power

Since I sold the pandaminer  and 26 of 34 amd cards  my setup  did not involve much out of pocket.   Since power is lower by 1000 watts I save on heat cooling and power costs.

I now have

2 amd cards at the solar array
6 amd card in the garage
9 nvidia cards in the garage
2 nvidia cards on the way

every 16 days I payoff  a nvidia 1080 ti  based on 44 usd a day earned after power cost

so of the seven 1080 ti's  that I have  one of them is already paid  for.

 this  allows me to keep on doing the  fast turnover  of cards at good discounts.

For now I will mine  a  bit and talk with buysolar about the array and how much we move out of my garage into the array.

During the June 1 to Oct 1 time period I need to be at 500 watts or less in the garage.  So what I can't fit in the array will be sold off. 

As the garage will have 2 small gpu rigs a few sticks from sidehack.  I will miss the pretty lites. Until October comes by.

[DebitMe]

Hmm, finally got around to setting up my Nvidea rig, had two 1080's and a 1070 sitting around for about a week and it hurt to not see them mining.

Started with the 1080 founders edition, and am getting right around 500 hashes, but the card quickly jumped up to 80 C. Does that seem normal?

I'll be keeping an eye out for your sale thread then.  I'd love to play with some NVIDIA cards.

Did you set power to 65-75%?

Manually set fan to 75%

All my cards are under 75c

Yes, and it should work with any brand of cards.  (Thanks Phil)

yes

and if the tdp  won't work  try the zotac  clock tool  the link is a few posts above this one

I'm planning to build compact 1080ti's rig
Do we need VGA dummy for every rig so i can set any oc flawlessly, or it will work without it?

I have an EVGA and their driver has a great GUI to control nvidia 1080 and 1080ti. The temp will jump fast till you manually set the fan speed to a minimum of 75% depending on temp where your rig is.

Is anyone CPU and gpu mining on the same rigs? I tried it, but my gpu driver kept crashing because the cpu couldn't do both. Have 4gb ram only though. Could that be the problem?

i3 intel or better should work

Try leaving 1 core free for gpu mining. Eg: CPU mine with only 1 core if you're using pentium/celeron, or 3 core for i5,i7.
