Well today i went ahead and ordered parts for the upcoming build.. planning on going the 4U route.. after doing lots of research i have decided that i like the idea of placing the GPU's off the Mobo and space them out some. The only reason i ordered a case to build the future rig into over going open is i am kinda limited on power right now at my condo it seems. i cant get more than 4 x 1080ti's to last on any of my condo circuits.. i have tried every circuit in the house and as soon as all 4 start mining i trip a breaker.. sometimes it takes a few hours, others its immediate.. the electrician i had come out told me i only have 15amp breakers for all my circuits and because so much is shared on each circuit im pushing it when trying to add daily living with mining.. so this future rig is going to be housed at my parents house in the spare room. They agreed i could place a "few" rigs at their house as long as they are neat and out of the way and not cluttering a lot space.. so the best idea i could come up with was placing it inside of a computer case, but after shopping mobo's it just cringed me to think about stacking 4 x 1080tis right on top of each other enclosed in a case, i can see how they would function in a open case design.. but i need this to be neat and out of the way.. So today i bought a few things i seen on sale that caught my attention.. PSU: EVGA 1200 watt for $259-5%(-$13)=$246.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KYK1CKI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Case: 4U L4500 for $98.99-5%($4.50)=$94.99.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091IZ1ZG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Risers: Typical Risers $49.95-5%($2.50)=$47.45.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BMT7CC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1I have not bought mobo or cpu yet because i am really hoping the new risers i ordered will work with my old gaming pc i retired last year. It has an intel i5 3570k on it with a decent gaming motherboard with 1 x M.2, 2 x16, 1 x8, and 4 x1's. I bought risers previously off amazong and i couldnt any of them to boot with my GTX 1080tis sitting on my desk. So i bought some that many mentioned they are using in hopes they work listed above.. I am probably going to start with only 4 x GTX1080ti's in this system if i can get it to boot with the new risers.. otherwise ill be searching for another motherboard to use the i5 cpu with.. I have an old 5 year old 850watt in that rig, but many people think its the PSU causing them to not detect.. so i bought the EVGA above.. I wanted to go the server route, but PM who sells the kits is out of stock on them right now.. so i didnt feel like waiting more than 30 days for that.. plus the evga was on sale... In regards to OS, idk what to do about that.. i am looking into miner OS's, but i am finding they are all AMD only it seems.. really like the look of EthOS, but the support page list only AMD cards.. This is what caught my attention.. this guy built his rigs using the same case i ordered with the HD section in the front removed.. he claims 69c temps running 7gpu's per case.... <snipped> how do you connect 7 x VGA cables to EVGA-1300-G2 ? I think that PSU has only 6 x VGA pcie connector... no? I was not looking to run 7 GPU's.... if the cables are anything like my current EVGA PSU in my gaming rig, each of the PCIe cables have both 1 (6+2) and 6 pin on each cable, which would allow up to 6 cards... I was looking to only run 4 on the 4U case if i have power issues at running it.. but after playing around with the gigabyte cards i got recently more.. they are very power efficient once you get them down around 60%tdp.. like im managing to pull 850Mh/s per card still at 60% tdp limits on air.. and wattage draw according to the miner varies from 148-166watts, the only thing keeping them from being pushed more is tight spacing around them plugged directly into the motherboard in my 2nd pc in a mid atx case, the 1st card is sucking the hot air in from the 2nd card, resulting in 11c difference in temps between the cards.... idk if i can push it i pay build a 5 or 6 card setup if i can keep the wattage down to not trip a breaker... 5 would be ~875watts.. 6 would be ~1050watts.. One thing i found is the newest EVGA card is extremely limited on MSI afterburner, you can raise values above stock, but you cant lower them and the card we got in the mail is pulling 283watts at stock settings, literally no way to reduce tdp on it... which evga do you have? i have 2 different ones - (Founders & SC2) but i am able to lower on afterburner and the evga's are actually my best performing and cooling cards - the only cards i didn't buy are 3 slot cards like aurus. |

One of the vega cards amd is coming out with has 1tb of cache on the gpu lol
They had 4 of those cards rendering 4K video live. It was crazy!!
And if anyone knows anything about rendering video it is awesome
They also had one playing doom and max everything at 60fps
So the new amd vegas are like 1080ti's ATM it could change

I am not home at the moment, will check on it later when i get over to my friends house.. its his GPU in his pc that is having the issue...
I have a question are any of yall running your mining rigs on Wifi? i was shopping for parts for future build and just thought about it.. i have nothing but Wifi access to the spare room that the Rig for my parents house is going.. there is solid Wifi signal that speed test D27MB/U30MB..... I hope the Wifi will work for me because it would literally wipe out the ability to put one at my parents house...
Also if any of yall could help me out.. if i am building strictly a mining rig.. what is like the best budget CPU to go with on this? I see Celerons are common on a lot of builds, but im finding prices on Intel i3's to be around the same price or less in some cases.... just trying to learn still on future builds...looking for a solid CPU/Mobo combo for the rig with potential of 6 GPU setup... i seriously doubt ill go 6 1080tis in the 4U case, but my parents house has full 20amp circuits and my step father is telling me the circuit in that room is literally only for that room.. and the only thing on that circuit is a 60watt lamp....so i MAY be able to go up to 6, i am planning to put my 4 Gigabyte cards in it to start with and maybe purchase more to add 1 at a time to see if i can run it all...
I am also thinking of possibly renting a small warehouse space, i found a local small business complex that has 12 x 24 with 9ft roll up doors units for $295/month the person i talked to said the units have 250 amp circuits... the warehouse is layed out so there is like a 12ft block wall between units, so the top of the wall is open so air could circulate across the entire warehouse freely...

DO NOT add them 1 at a time to test the circuit, 1 not reliable and 2 not safe at all - and if you have any spikes you'll trip it as well as constant load will heat the wires and start tripping the breaker in the future. Buy a kill a watt meter so you know how much you're drawing from the actual outlet (wall as you kids say). |

Newegg has dropped the price on MSI 1080ti to 669 - I bought a bunch of these for 689 - they wouldn't give me the price match though on the cards i bought, only gave me a $60x3 gift card instead of $100x3.
Oh well... I'm still going to buy more.

Has anyone managed to break the magical 6MH/Watt on Skein with their 1080ti?
@VyprBTC...Yes nvOC does Skein but not the Alexis fork so it's slower.

1tb cache ? some form of vram HBM v2 perhaps -- that would speed up ZEC mining tremendously 1080ti is only at 11gb vram gddr5... the vega could be a game changer but at what price? i hope vega comes out and pushes 1080ti down below 500$.... wishful thinking... I think AMD and NVIDIA will learn to tango and waltz together and leverage the mining scene |

Also if any of yall could help me out.. if i am building strictly a mining rig.. what is like the best budget CPU to go with on this? I see Celerons are common on a lot of builds, but im finding prices on Intel i3's to be around the same price or less in some cases.... just trying to learn still on future builds...looking for a solid CPU/Mobo combo for the rig with potential of 6 GPU setup... i seriously doubt ill go 6 1080tis in the 4U case, but my parents house has full 20amp circuits and my step father is telling me the circuit in that room is literally only for that room.. and the only thing on that circuit is a 60watt lamp....so i MAY be able to go up to 6, i am planning to put my 4 Gigabyte cards in it to start with and maybe purchase more to add 1 at a time to see if i can run it all...
I am also thinking of possibly renting a small warehouse space, i found a local small business complex that has 12 x 24 with 9ft roll up doors units for $295/month the person i talked to said the units have 250 amp circuits... the warehouse is layed out so there is like a 12ft block wall between units, so the top of the wall is open so air could circulate across the entire warehouse freely...
DO NOT add them 1 at a time to test the circuit, 1 not reliable and 2 not safe at all - and if you have any spikes you'll trip it as well as constant load will heat the wires and start tripping the breaker in the future. Buy a kill a watt meter so you know how much you're drawing from the actual outlet (wall as you kids say). I am not saying i will be adding them to test the circuit to say... my step dad is very certain that the outlet will take everything the 1200watt PSU can throw at it.. because when he was redoing the floors he had his table saw plugged into that room and its 1800watts.... I am probably going to add them 1 at at time after the first 4, because 1) i dont know how well the 4U case will cool the cards.. im very un-educated on the cooling capacity of a 4U case compared to a typical PC case... and 2) i already have 6 x GTX 1080ti's.... based on my earnings i should earn enough BTC to buy 2 GTX1080ti cards a month... im not looking to take out more personal funds on this really.. trying to use more of the mined money to pay for the hardware and just let the rigs snowball the amount of earnings i can gain as i add more GPU's... I guess the reason i worded the way i did previously is due to how horrible the circuit load is at my Condo.. just sad i cant run 4 1080tis on a single circuit in my condo... without tripping a breaker.. |

Has anyone managed to break the magical 6MH/Watt on Skein with their 1080ti?
@VyprBTC...Yes nvOC does Skein but not the Alexis fork so it's slower.
Ill post a pic later, but my gigabyte cards are the closest i can get so far.. at 60% tdp, they are averaging 5.8Mh/s per watt... * idk if the website is reporting wrong.. but in the miner it says 5.8Mh/s per watt at the same watts.. but when i check the website as soon as it reports.. it says in the 6's...  |

the alexei fork is on Windows only so too bad it cant be added on nvoc linux |

@Storx ...I got her sitting dead on 6...thats the best I can do so far : Thats awesome dude, what card is that? i couldnt get the gigabyte cards below 60TDP stable in the 800+Mh/s, as soon as i go over +100 on core they would freeze up and below that was in the 770ish range.. right now on the gigabyte cards i have it at 60tdp and its been stable at the recent test setting for 2+ hours now at +317core |

I am not home at the moment, will check on it later when i get over to my friends house.. its his GPU in his pc that is having the issue...

I guess the reason i worded the way i did previously is due to how horrible the circuit load is at my Condo.. just sad i cant run 4 1080tis on a single circuit in my condo... without tripping a breaker.. VyprBTC is 100% correct. One other thing to do (especially in condo) is to turn the breaker off for the outlets you will be plugging into and make SURE the screws are TIGHT and the wires are fully under the screw heads. Also make sure BOTH the wire to the breaker in the panel and the common wire (white) are tight. It would be a great idea to invest invest in a couple good outlets to use. Condo builders are notorious for using the cheapest crap they can get their hands on. This one is good http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-20-Amp-Hospital-Grade-Extra-Heavy-Duty-Isolated-Ground-Duplex-Receptacle-with-6-in-Lead-or-ange-8300-LIG/301361135Anyone who is running miner should do all of this. Wires will loosen on breakers and outlets over time due to expansion and contraction of the wire from heating/cooling caused by normal usage. This will cause higher amps being drawn, breakers kicking, arcing, fires, all kinds of bad things. |

One of the vega cards amd is coming out with has 1tb of cache on the gpu lol
They had 4 of those cards rendering 4K video live. It was crazy!!
And if anyone knows anything about rendering video it is awesome
They also had one playing doom and max everything at 60fps
So the new amd vegas are like 1080ti's ATM it could change
1tb cache ? some form of vram HBM v2 perhaps -- that would speed up ZEC mining tremendously 1080ti is only at 11gb vram gddr5... the vega could be a game changer but at what price? i hope vega comes out and pushes 1080ti down below 500$.... wishful thinking... I think AMD and NVIDIA will learn to tango and waltz together and leverage the mining scene They canned hbm and went cache instead They said it's like ssd cache. No prices as of right now. Probably won't know until preorders go out. But they changed how the gpu processes things like they did with the ryzen CPU |

Rookie question, but doing my first build. Does it matter which slot on the motherboard I put the ram into?

only if it does not work. So do the easiest to reach first. As for vega I may need to stop expansion and wait for zec results. I got a good deal on some 1070 itx from gigabyte. 369 - 5% = 350 a card I am finally getting some demand from gamer friends. I will build 3 two card 1080ti rigs for gamers I know. about 7k in sales and about 700 profit for me. and replace the 1080tis I use in the builds with the itx 1070 gigabytes to mine with. This will work as summer heat is coming. |

ohai! if 1 stick ram - slot 1 or 2 if 2 - 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 depending on eg pcu cooler getting in the way |
