That is 2 1070 katana
1 1080ti aorus
1 1070   msi gamer

I wanted to check the synch box to set all three   1070's together

It did not work well  the katana near hat big fat ass aorus would over heat.

So I did 4 settings for four card no synching more work.

All my builds now will be based on  the


GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX

http://www.ebay.com/itm/381927411340?

with 2 identical  1080 ti's
and one 1070 itx

and an 850 watt psu
I get these as low as 95 dollars on a sale

these can expand with ease to 4 cards

philip sorry to derail this thread, here you mentioned that you might build an enclosure for the rigs, and you pointed to radiator fans, I was browsing this forum and came across a post by MarkAz, that those fans may be not good enough here so if you do go ahead, please be careful.

I too was looking for an alternative, but no luck so far

Regards,
BLife

Okay  I checked markAZ posts  he is in Arizona   thus the AZ

see this it has his new fans I know them

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1694255.msg17015309#msg17015309


here is one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Comair-Rotron-10-Fan-Model-CLE2L2-P-N-020188-115-Volts-/263012142494?

uses 120 volts  it will cut your finger off   as it has metal blades .

 I used them years ago.

 I had riser free 4 card builds  with xfx hd7970 mining btc back in 2012

  I had these with grills in open case builds  it would stack right over the four cards  it worked.

I really hurt a finger  as the grills were not quite perfect.  If you get these be really careful


this has grill

Use this miner here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777336.0

Alexis78 is built into it. Code below thanks to jared.
Open text document, paste, save as a .bat file in the miner folder and run it.

Code:

:start
ccminerAlexis78.exe -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u 1PeXHjiP1BQJtwEavVdp8bKWZXiHAnRH5x -p Testrig,c=BTC,skein,stats

Does this auto switch the profit i recieve into btc? i want to get paid in DGB axtually not in btc!

What's everyones thoughts on genesis mining bitcoin mining contract? I ran the numbers on the 20 TH contract and it should be a solid 600 profit a month open ended contract, so 4-5 month ROI, charge a dollar a day maintenance fee at 20 TH, so 40 would be 2 dollar etc

I used my buddys code to bring it down to almost $2.5k, a lot of people talk negatively about it, but if you compare the numbers thats pretty solid with zero % hassle lol, don't get me wrong I'm about to working on building 2 more rigs but its nice to mix it up I guess.

What are everyone elses thoughts here? I've been on their Monero contract for a month now and earned 6 Monero, this BTC contract on todays rates is almost 2x as profitable it seems. If anyone wants 3% off you can use my coupon discount code for genesis mining = p7Yi4l


http://imgur.com/a/IlDYW

Screenshot of sliding purchase bar, price is before 3% discount applied. Their bitcoin contracts seem to come & go, it's been unavailable for the past couple weeks but available ATM.

Again this is a genuine post as a lot of good discussion takes place in this thread, but per the numbers the some rigs will make this same amount for a couple hundred bucks less? What do you guys think?

edit why do my images rarely work?

best guess is you don't make them small  like 1600 by 1200 or    1280 by 1024   upper right  they have a re- size option  

it is 2600 for 20 th  about 1 coin.

 at hashnest it is 1.4 btc for 20000th

@Vosk...Are you just posting the webpage address that your pic is on ?

You need to click on your pic and then "copy image location" and paste that into IMG tags.

@philip or anyone really -

wtf is the deal with open box items @ newegg- never ordered open box before but 3 PSU's - 2 mobo's i bought open box - and all 5 items are defective.

won't be buying open box again lol. nice waste of time right there.

I spent like 2 hours messing with a brand new mobo swapping parts 1 at a time just thinking wtf am i doing wrong?! lol... then for some reason a few cables on the open box PSU i was using was out of reach, and cables on a new EVGA were in reach, so I just used those, and bam.... worked like nothing was wrong. I was actually almost going to cry because in my head I was thinking "What if it's the 1080Ti's that are bad...please no, please nooooooooo... not my babies!"

ok off to play some more.

Thanks everyone for this new hobby. it's infuriating ... but fun.

Yes that what the c=BTC part is. I'm not sure if you need to delete that part or change it to c=DGB.

yep, if you want to get paid in DGB, you need to use a DGB wallet address, and tell the pool DGB via c=DGB....

Hopefully that 1Pe address is your BTC address; or those mining funds went to that BTC address whomever owns it.......

Hey all,

Phillip directed me to this post.. to post my issues or talks so he is not bombarded by a million PM's lol...

Question 1: I am having issues running the Nvidia cards on the power risers, i have tried multiple cards and all 15 risers with no luck.. i did manage to get them to boot in the x16 slot using a power riser.. the riser is plugged into the x16 slot.. but as soon as i start mining the power riser works for like 5 seconds then the miner looses all connection to the gpu and i have to restart the computer to get the gpu visible again in device manager. I am taking the risers and GPU to friends house to test it on his computer to assure its not a mobo issue... (Pending on that)
Risers im talking about --->https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GWMUK7W

Question 2: Now that i am up and running on my Person PC, i have been using JAXX wallet this whole time due to the sheer amount of wallets they have available to use.. but im kinda unsure if it is the best for me. I want to be able to pull USD from my wallet on a Month/semi-Monthly period at first tell i get the gear all payed off and to have some spending cash... i have no clue what is the best route of going about this from the JAXX wallet. I have been contemplating opening a Coinbase wallet, because they have a instant transfer from cryptocoin-usd ability, but not sure if i should mine into that account or continue with JAXX and transfer it to whichever i convert with.. was told that coinbase charges fees if used for mining account due to high traffic created as well there is a MAX on the amount you can have in your wallets along with a max on amount that can be withdrawn per month...

Question 3: It seems everyone goes the route of using fan cooled GPU's for mining... i have been personally testing mining on my Gaming rig which is watercooled.. im averaging 35c while mining currently with the 2 GPU's with my 1080mm cooling radiator... i have been contemplating in the future going watercooling over fan models of GPU's because for one its near silent to maintain those 35c temps on my 2 gpus now.. but also the 9 fans on my radiator rarely ever come on.. just the passive cooling of the radiator is maintaining enough cooling right now due to the fact the radiator is sitting next to a suction vent for my house a/c....
Also i have noticed that some companies liek zotec have GPU's already waterblocked for lik $30-50 more over the fan models with leak warranties for 3-5 years on the waterblocks...

Question 4: Lastly are their other pools that support skein mining? im wanting to test other pools because my hashrates on zpool are netting me 20-22% less than every calculator is estimating my earnings based on the hashrate accepted... someone mentioned supernova, but that pool only has 1 coin on skein algo enabled for mining if i understand correctly.. so i would only be able to mine DGB, i kinda like the 4 coin switching on zpool when the values fluctuate.. dont get me wrong i really like the earnings thus far over my nicehash earnings even with the less profit based on calculators..

Does anyone have suggestion for good risers?? This pack seems to be popular but would like to hear some advice. https://www.amazon.com/6-Pack-PCI-E-Powered-Adapter-Extension/dp/B01N3UVJHM/

[vg54dett]

Anyone ever met this issue ? => when a rig is failing/freezing/hanging , I sometime get all my RIGS down. The internet connection is down on all the rig's local network until I shut down and restart the faulty rig.

(I first thought about a defective MB , but it happened with differents MB)

[philipma1957]

@ vg54dett  I had issues like that  and went all gigabyte/biostar  those issuse do not happen..

I think asus and asrock do it but not gigabyte or biostar

Talk to hawkfish007 he has good quality risers. Been using his for a bit now.

@philipma1957 or anyone else with 1070 experience

I'm building a 7x1070 riser rig and have GPU choice down to these two cards at roughly the same price (G1 about $15US/card more than Mini):

Gigabyte GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC
Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8G

They both look like they have decent thermal management and samsung ram (going by reviews) but I wonder what other pros/cons I should consider?
