Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized.

My problem from yesterday happened again..
It was fine last night into this morning and when I got to work and checked the first card was 84 while cards 2 and 3 were mid to low 60s..
So I dropped the power from 80 to 70 and it dropped back to mid 60s.. I checked the power usage and prior to me dropping it, the card was running at 100%! Afterburn was set to 80% and the other cards were 80..

Anyone have any idea why the card would run at 100 when it was set to 80? Adjusting the setting to 70 woke it up.. but still..

Have you tried changing the cards around in the slots yet?  THought u were going to try that.  I would unlink all the cards reset all the settings in afterburner then saving the profile.

Also set the heat limit to like 70% so it auto cuts it back on the power if it goes over 70% I dont know if will work if you are having that issue.


I have a weird issue like that sometimes but it is the opposite.  If you go from Skien to Zec after a few days mining one of your cards might stuck using half its power.  A reboot usually fixes it.

I got home and looked at the card and it was slightly sticking out of the pci-e so I thought that was my problem. Also went looking for my powered usb risers.. couldnt find those. Hoping they turn up this weekend and I can hang the cards and not worry about temp issues..

It was running perfectly find prior to putting in the 3rd card.. but I am also auto switching coins at nicehash so maybe it gets hung up on a switch?

This means the card became unstable and reset to DEFAULT settings which is 84c max temp... reduce the core clock down.. and try again... run it for atleast an hour to know if its stable

What cards do you guys think I should get for my upcoming 6-card rig. Im hoping to get about 25-30MH/s per card, with overclock if needed. I see alot of people say we shouldnt invest in 480/580 anymore because they are gonna cut the hashrate. But 1070's are like 600USD retail where I live. Any tips or thoughts on the matter?

Well it comes down to what you have access to in your area and what your long term goal is..
With the new claymore miner you can get decent hash on eth with the 1060s.

1070's by me are ~$450
1080ti's are ~$669
Amd 470/480 & 570/580 are all sold out

I wen't with 1080ti's due to density as I can't walk into my local store and get more than 2 or 3 without them giving me a hard time and I didn't want to order online.

If your after eth because you think that is the future you can always mine an altcoin, sell it and buy eth. If you want eth you think that is the most profitable coin out there, then you have some research to do as it's not always.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the reply. Avaiability wont be a problem really. I've found most cards online here in Norway and those that I haven't found some of will be in by the time I'm ready to order some anyways. I have a 1060 3GB and while testing I've gotten only about 19MH/s after overclock wich is quite low for that card, It's hynix memory and I've probably been a bit unlucky with my unit or something. If I were to buy 1060's 3GB would be enough or will i need to get the 6GB ones?

Well I might be going for some 1070's if I can find them a bit cheaper. Yes I've mainly focused on eth so far but I'l be mining whatever is most profitable with the setup I end up with.

 Options are:

 BIOS modded RX 480/580.
 BIOS modded RX 470/570 will get into the lower end of that range.
 GTX 1070 will hit 30 sometimes 32 when overclocked, depending on the RAM.
 R9 290/290x/390/390x but those eat a lot of power.
 GTX 1080 will hit the VERY bottom of that range.
 GTX 1080ti will hit mid-30s somewhere.

 Note that ALL of these options are not exactly cheap due to the demand miners are putting on mid-high end GPUs the last 2-3 months.

 (edit)
 GTX 1060 6GB might get close to the bottom of that range - think it's 22 Mhs ballpark depending on how well the memory overclocks per reports.
 RX 460 won't get close to that range.
 (/edit)

 From what I've seen so far, the "mining edition" cards aren't going to be a LOT lower than consumer-model cards as folks "charge what the market will bear"....

When do we realistically see these cards hitting store?
I mean by the time these guys hit the shelves the market could have collapsed, haha.

Thanks for a great reply. I might just go for 1060 6GB's because of the ROI. I dont want to overpay for a better GPU and have to mine for almost 5 months to pay it down. With 1060's I can do it in about 3 I think

[vapourminer]

 GTX 1060 6GB and RX 460 might get close to the bottom of that range. [25-30 on eth]

nope.

my stock RX 460 4 gb gets 12-13 mhs, ive seen reports of 15 with a strapped vbios.

I got home and looked at the card and it was slightly sticking out of the pci-e so I thought that was my problem. Also went looking for my powered usb risers.. couldnt find those. Hoping they turn up this weekend and I can hang the cards and not worry about temp issues..

It was running perfectly find prior to putting in the 3rd card.. but I am also auto switching coins at nicehash so maybe it gets hung up on a switch?

auto switching is very hard on gear

Well it's Nicehash's auto switching and I only have 2 coins selected so I would hope/think it doesn't change that much right?

[Chili.Dog]

@ jmattes: I also have the same problem. But (and there has always been a big but in my life I even married a few, another story).
I have 1 rig 7x rx 470 8gig, have had no problems at all, Nicehash.
I have 2 rigs 9 total running 1080 ti's also Nicehash, and have the same problem you have.
Sorry I can't give you a fix, I'm still pulling my hair out.
If you find a fix Please let me know.

  try 1 coin only  for a day or two  see if problem happens again.

btw my 1 aorus  would do exactly the same thing it would go to 82-85 f.  It would not stay locked in on afterburner. but I did find a way to get around it.  I do only zec with it and use win 7 and on afterburner settings I found a third party card option which I checked off.along with resume settings after restart

 since then it works well

it is at the solar array


Yes   solar1080ti   Equihash   2012 Sol/s   =  it has  3 1080ti's 2 msi areo's and 1 aorus

I have 4 of these

I have 4 of these

https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N1070IXOC-8GD/dp/B01JD2OSX0/ref=sr_1_1?

no one is selling them under 550 at amazon

here is one for over 800 on the bay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-Gaming-GeForce-GTX-1070-8GB-GDDR5-SLI-DirectX-12-VR-Ready-ITX-Graphics-Card-/172716270712?

here is a gigabyte for 671

usa buyers only free shipping   whats a fair markup?

I paid about 386 each for the 8 of them  all under 1 month old.

at 450 with free shipping to the usa I would earn  around 50 a card..

So I think I want 440 for them  in btc.  seem fair?  if it does  send a pm  They will ship on July 5th.



I also have 2 katana http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-GeForce-GTX-1070-KATANA_p_130.html

I paid 430 each for them  with the shipping

I will sell them. 460 each and give free shipping.

 not sure if I have boxes for them    I have an offer for the katana's

i do have boxes for the msi and gigabyte 1070's


once these sell I will be all 1080ti
here is a nvoc 0017  3x 1080ti build




comes with NICE


changed to ZEC



put in nicehash pool for zec

made fan 80

saved changes

booted that mofo



I also set power to 165 for each 1080ti

that 140mm fan is from bears and is needed to run the 3 1080 ti's in the tight space


garage is 92 f  gpus run cool.

[TheYankeesWin!]

So that 3 card build is all msi aero cards?  what is that fan?

[philipma1957]

the fan is a 140mm bGears

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX3MBUU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 

grills for the fan

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043SIX4A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
that 140mm fan is from bGears and is needed to run the 3 1080 ti's in the tight space

I ran over night zero issues  this is about 2000 sols at about 550 watt on the pdu meter



this 1080ti build with the fan     is preferred  over this build

2 1080 ti  and 1 1070 itx 

[TheYankeesWin!]

So phil   you are getting :

550 watts 2000 sols for 3x 1080ti
500 watts 1700 sols for 2x 1080ti and 1 1070 itx


Please correct me if I am wrong.
