1080Ti Specific - Best mining option

[Elder III]

We have one rig with 6 x GTX 1080 Ti running at 80% power, 60% fan, +150 Core, stock Mem... with temps anywhere from 45C (during cool nights) to 65C during hot days. This is in a well ventilated room with 9 rigs x 6 GPUs each. Typically the temps on those particular GPUs are in the high 50s or low 60s during the day right now. Note that we are in a relatively norther climate so we don't have to deal with super hot ambient temperatures very often (if at all).

Unlike zpool where you lose 10-20% a day sometimes due to DDOS.  

And you lose 20% that the pool owner steals.  I did my own testing and it confirmed the findings of many others here.

Its a pool for lazy noobs and botnets; anyone with a brain can make more profit anywhere else.

I have been using zpool for around 8 months.  They do not steal anything.  It is the same as every other pool they sometimes get Ddos.  Yimp etc are no exception.

You can see a gap in the graph when it gets hit with DDOS.  If there is no gap I get exactly what I expect to get in a payout.  All you did was google and find some  moron that doesn't understand what is happening claim they were stealing.

It is not in the best interest of the zpool guy to fake ddos attacks before when they happen you get a massive amount of people leaving for a few days.

I allready have 2x ASUS strix 1080ti and EVGA G2 1300w.
PSU has 6x 8pin for GPU, GPU has 2x 8pin.
Is there a safe 8x to 2x gpu cable?
Or i can order this one?

Yeah...mine are good for nothing, I should just throw them in the trash!!

That`s a truly good example of how your shouldn`t keep your cards. I`m not trying to be rude, just a simple tip. Btw, I also have 5 x 1080 ti and I know what kind of heat they generate.
Ask folks here about their GPU average clock and temperature, because right now you are not only killing your gpus, you also lose money due to overheat when mining.

There`s one exception: u`ve got air conditioner located just above this case.

so what's the ideal way for 1080 ti miner ? Open Case ?

Mine are in open air racks



Still pretty hot, my mining room is about 35 degrees near the back. Those cards are 80% TDP, 80-90% fan, 77 degrees.  
Cards closer to entrance is in 30 degrees ambient, 70% fan, 73 degrees, same 80% tdp.

Pascal's pretty sensitive to temperature, my FE cards hash 2-3% slower than the Evga SC2 cards as they are 10-15 degrees higher.

The racks have standard 16 inch home fans blowing on them.

What power supplies are on those FE Racks? I am struggling to get enough power cables with my PSU's.

asus 1080 ti strix 11 gb
gpu boost 1735 (+128)
gpu voltage 71 (+71)
mem clock 11560 (+550)
fan speed 80%
power target 104 (+4)

steady at 54°, mining at 996.93 MH/s skein

The temperature of 1080ti depends much with room temperature, and which algorithm during mining. I never tried skein, maybe it is good on temperature.

Hey new member here, currently finishing off GTI 1080 TI rig, have few PNYs right now and adding more as I can afford. What is the consensus on the most profitable coin to mine currently?

I'm doing ~700 sols on Zcash per card but was reading about SIGT having or may still have potential for higher profits? Where do you guys even trade SIGT for bitcoin? I'm only on Poloniex and was using Bitfinex

Sigt now at some saga stage and hope they can pull thru. Saw many damager going on along with supporter.
Trading is via cryptopia.

Miner as i can see drop 30-40% since last two days.

Good luck guys

just try running ccminer to nicehash pool, check yourself the rates in 5 minutes. thank me later.

Just tried. Getting less than $2 a day per card. Think Skunk mining is over with the recent crash

@evil monkey

The ONLY PSU i have personally found that will allow enough power and cables for x6 1080ti (250 watt versions), is the 1600 watt Rosewill Hercules
watch for them at a good price, PSU prices over 1300 watts have gone nuts
Other than that, keep in mind you can get a server PSU kit for way cheaper, i get mine from parallel miner, wish i would have went server model off the bat way cheaper, and rated for continuous loads much better than ATX's

yep back to zec also. Comparable with sigt, but sigt price to fragile. cant really work with it.

6 cards would require 18 PSU cables.  It really doesn't look like there is 18 cables there.  Those might be 1070's or something.

I read whatomine.com and it is showing me that skunk on Nicehash is just as bad as skunk on Signatum.  I also did your recommendation and checked it on nicehash and it is only giving $3 a day the same as Signatum.  That is with a single 1080ti generatng 55 hash at 85%.  Now I may not know how to check it properly do I just need to login to new.nicehash.com and look at the perday rate?

ALso it took alot longer than 5 mins to give me any meaningful stats.  Skunk on nicehash may have been profitable a few days or weeks ago but it appears to be no more so than signatum on skunk.

Can someone tell me whats the best Miner for Skein current ? Iam using Alexis, but a read that Sniffdogs should be better. But in fact its worse  Is there a better miner for 1080ti out there ?

[Leass]

Alexis give the best hashrate locally, but it fluctuate as f*ck on pool side (~960mh on miner, from 300 to 1500 mh on pool side).
Sniffdog gives a stable hashrate (both on local miner and pool looks similliar), but from testing Alexis giving me a profits which equals to hashrate, just over longer period of time.

[BitBustah]

... testing Alexis giving me a profits which equals to hashrate, just over longer period of time.

Sure 'bout that? Normally its the pool that causes this.
