Nice Thread - yes I did just read all from the beginning - so thought I'd register, say hi, and tks.
One thing I was wondering, there are some posts concerned with efficiency (hash per watt), is this because they are more interested in increasing immediate fiat returns?
For me personally I take the cards as far as possible with an eye on max mBTC return, even at lower "fiat returns" Reason I do this is increasing BTC holdings is priority for me, Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Regards.

for me my farm is a business, and if i lower my costs i increase my profits, so efficiency is very important for me, it makes the difference in 100's of $$ a month in power bills :/ everyones situations different, i have enough revenue sources for BTC i dont worry about increasing my holdings personally, i am ever expanding with my coins (saves me come tax time too hehe)

It's power cost and also allows more cards on a circuit it makes very little sense to jump your power bill up by 20% for 1% more hashing power or something Better to just take that money and buy more coins edit - also will significantly increase the longevity of your cards edit 2 - and also reduces heat generated, which saves you money in teh summer from AC, increased longevity from reduced temps too

I overclock the memory...With reductions in TDP I don't get anywhere near 2k on core tho
~1850 max
5500 very stable on the memory tho. Could probably go higher
on eth only? I have been mining LBRY and MONA then trading it Also mined Chaincoin for a while when it was profitable. (it's not and probably will never be again lol) Also nicehash if the rates are good

Thanks for replys, CJ, Ben and Benny. I did some testing with average power draw, and average hash rate, over different power targets/OC a while back, using nicehash (so varying payrates) https://i.imgur.com/SFeuuXO.jpgIt gets complicated rather quickly, but I do see your points What I'm wondering is where to draw the line, pushing it for example, from 218mBTC to 239mBTC (720sols to 770sols) on one 80ti would actually cost more in electric, but gets more mBTC Not too concerned about the longevity as 5y warranty, and I only have a few, so return and replace would not cost me anything significant downtime. UK, so even now in July heat is not an issue. (cry) More cards on a circuit, smaller psu's and other electrical concerns, yes totally understand that, things are different for us all. My calculations are probably off, I'll have to try them again, or keep doing them as things change and adjust the power accordingly. There are a lot of variables, I'm kinda trying to reduce the complexity some. Regards

Regards One consideration is pay more electricity now in exchage of the lower difficulty and potentially get more coins now. And also possible of mining more coin now with higher hashrate for future gain. Could be a balance decision. It depends on how you play

But suffice it to say you probably aren't going to want to run it at 100%, where that sweet spot is for absolute optimum will probably depend on the individual card, pay rate, projected increase in hash power, how bullish you are on the coin, temperatures, and probably other things. You're obviously really trying to dial it in. Gotta go card by card I would imagine. Not sure how much variance there is between individual cards in your model.

^^^ agree
@miner14 keep in mind these are technically gamer cards, they weren't really built to run 24/7 at 100% load , thats asking for trouble 6 months+ down the road imo . course if that dosent matter to you, disregard that, some people are balls to the wall on their cards haha
the great thing about the 1080ti is its such a beast limiting the power really dosent affect hash TOO bad, so the benefits are like 5 to the one bad part (less hash)

Living in some states we get tiered metering. Going for less power is more profit unless you have solar. If we hit over 400% over the baseline they will charge us 40 cents. But they don't charge everything at 40 cents. One month we got charge $70 worth at tier 3 while before solar we got charge $340. Majority of the time we are at tier 2 which is 28 cents.

im from philippines and the new mobo that has multi pci slot has been released, what do you think is the best combination for this mobo? .. , is it better to buy gtx 1080ti ? ... , does stronger graphics card mine's very fast than other graphics cards ? .. or there's a specific graphic card that is best for mining ? .. i want to know your ... thoughts ..

7 cents ?! Where is that Heaven on Earth ? Here in Atlanta , GA we pay 15 cents (if combine all fees , taxes ) in Summer season 5 moths from May to September . And that is with nuclear power plant , outrageous . Is there a map of ACTUAL power cost per states somewhere ? Id move to a 7 cents state in heartbeat Heat , humidity and expensive power , 15 cents is plain robbery with nuclear reactor power plant in state

Off topic a bit
Any guru here can help advise how to set the batch file to force rerun the miner every one hour?
Example while the miner is running, how to auto rerun in one hour.
This is to prevent at some point the hashrate gone to zero that need manual stop n re run
Thanks

to restart the miner just do @echo off :loop start miner.exe here(full path) timeout /t 1000 taskkill /f /im miner.exe goto loop
