yes and if you use 2 molex cables not 2 jacks from 1 cable it can work. of course you can not jack the gear to 200 watts Running the 1080 ti at 75% or less means .75 x 250 or .75 x 300 that is 187.5 watts to 225 watts and that would be about 94 to 112 watts on that part. since you have a second pcie cable doing the other jack it would do 94 to 112 and of course if plugged into a riser a third cable from a completely different molex could do 75 safe It should work. I would worry more doing it with a 1070 supply all the power to the 1070. I used these back in the day mining btc 2012-2013 they never smoked but I tend to downclock and undervolt to be safe.

With this DAG epoch increasing and amd rx eth hashrates decreasing.. Anyone considering selling their amd rx cards for nvidia cards?
Will these amd rx cards not be great for eth soon? At least they should still be fine for zec but what is the best plan going forward (besides selling them and holding cash/coin)
Keep the amd rx cards or trade them for nvidia cards?
Hashrate decreasing ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1977653.msg19686243#msg19686243Thx , was not aware of that.

Oh dear ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Can't transfer BTC from Electrum 1.6.1 anymore. It's asking me to upgrade to version 2.5.1 but when I went to Electrum website they have 2.8.3 version there. Can I just go ahead and update it or I'm at risk ? Can I install Electrum on Win 7 64bit ? (tried but it was stuck on synchronizing for 10 minutes so turned it off and now I can't find icon how to turn it on again-only instalation file) Thank you

SegWit2x and UASF, there may be more updates in the near term

2 molex to a *6* pin PIC-E I would trust, 2 to an 8-pin I would not. *3* molex to an 8-pin PCI-E would be OK with a GPU.

ZOTAC or EVGA ? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thank you again for help All my zotac are good. Don't own evga but evga was the second best rma ever in my life out of a hundred rmas . intel was better they took four days. evga was 7 days. to be fair evga traveled further. I never had to return a zotac they may be bad on returns I do not know. Oh not to beat a dead horse but I sold 500 in coin today 200 at 2930 200 at 2850 100 at 2780 all were coins from my selloff of rx 480 8gbs. when I sold the gear I was paid in 2100 dollar coin rate to 2450 dollar coin rate. so I was able to profit on the coin sales and on the card sales. To be fair if you are mining eth at nice hash you boosted with this also.

I highly recommend EVGA products.

I actually have a hate love relationship with 1080ti evga cards, they are the only cards that when freeze up they just lock up the computer solid and it never recovers, EVERY other brand i have when they freeze up they just flash the screen and reset the settings on the GPU, but always recover... i absolutely hate when a random EVGA card locks up a computer and its stuck unable to mine for hours tell i realize its locked up..

that's very strange. I have never had a card that doesn't recover from a driver crash.... not unless I was trying extreme over/underclocking....

I have Gigabyte and ZOTAC for 1080tis. The ZOTAC 1080ti AMP Extreme editions are absolutely king right now - the best cards in my small NVIDIA farm. I dont have EVGAs cards... but I have a few dozen EVGAs PSUs -- top notch PSUs. I am sure their cards are just as good ... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I highly recommend EVGA products. I agree. My farm is mostly FE edition and after getting 2x evga 1080ti sc2, I'm never cheaping out to go with FE again. A lot quieter, 100mhz higher boost clocks at same power draw, 3 - 5% higher hash rate that my batch of FE cards and best in industry warranty. Even if it costs $30 more, I think we can recoup part of that $30 when reselling. Have you checked if zotac gives 3 year transferrable warranty too?

that's very strange. I have never had a card that doesn't recover from a driver crash.... not unless I was trying extreme over/underclocking.... Ya, i have an ongoing hate/love issue with the EVGA rig i have with 1080ti's. All 4 of the ones i have randomly lockup, its not always the same GPU and its not the computer they are plugged into, because i thought it was that also and swapped it with my spare computer i have with no change. I think they hold onto the heat more so than other cards even with the so called advanced cooling, because when i point my laser gun on them to check temps, the EVGA cards report LOWER temps than other cards, but the metal overall on the cards are easily 10-15c hotter than other cards reporting the exact same temps in MSI Afterburner... I will say this tho, the EVGA cards hash the highest out of ALL my cards to date on AIR, so that is the love side of things, but its annoying when i wake up and find that rig has locked up and i has been since like 20 minutes after i fell asleep... just my kind of luck i guess.
