Has anyone used one of these molex to PCIe adapters long-term?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DV1Z428/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500582341&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=molex+pcie+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41sPSW11CgL&ref=plSrch

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.

I am assuming you answered the question as though this was being plugged into the card directly.

For powering risers would a double molex be overkill, does a single molex supply enough power to the riser for 100% TDP?  Or would two be safer?

okay  theory is  a riser pulls 75 watts max and a molex  can provide 75 watts max.

now  to go past theory  you need to know  the molex cable you have.

as  that is for 18 gauge  not 20  or 16.

most molex is 18 or 20  gauge not 16.

If I were certain  of three things

 1) molex is 16 gauge
 2) card maxes at 75 watts
 3) psu  has good molex receptacle

I would maybe run  the card at 100%  with 1 riser  to 1 molex

Fact is  the few times I have done it I burned out my molex at the connection on the risers
So I am 0 for 3 .
or 0 for 4.
With hard pushed  cards on a riser with a single molex and or a single sata.

Others will say  they are good.  But I was not.

What is the best way to mine DGB direcly.  Without any conversion.  For example you can mine DGB on zpool with skien algo.

:START
ccminerAlexis78.exe -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u DBHZh39j9eG4Tw1B49W3Wy1Su8i2io96TK.Aorus -p c=DGB,skien,stats
goto start

So it mines other random coins then converts to DGB this is not ideal so you cant do this on zpool which ppools can you mine it directly and can you still do that with the skein algo but only mine DGB?

you can mine any coin  and then buy some DGB.  I  have 30000 of them at the moment.

Where is a good place to pick up some additional Dual 6+2 Pin PCI-E and a couple 6 Pin PCI-E for an EVGA G3 psu?

no where .

but if you look here on this site a few guys will make custom for you.

I have not had a custom done in a while.

anyone had some custom done  lately?

use latest ccminer:

OR

goto DGB's multi-algo mining pools at http://digihash.co/ .... but beware of 5% fee to "support" DGB devs.

I once used DGB's SHA256 pool as my 3rd backup pool for the 2PH S9+A721 BTC farm.

I just buy DGB on bittrex.com

for now I hold

DGB 30000 coins
SC   40000 coins


BTC in a core wallet


and most  everything else is in cash.

 only 10x 1080 ti's  and the BTC mining gear

ccminer-alexis78 is currently the best miner for "skein"

[JaredKaragen]

ccminer-alexis78 is currently the best miner for "skein"

agreed;  yet I havent tried ccminer 2.2 yet....

And the reason why skien is chosen, is because there are no ASICS for that algo;  and it has the highest hash to net-hash ratio compared to the other algos.

*edit*  I thought I was crazy and seeing double after posting this, but it seems I just matched you in post count citronick.... lol!

The only issue I have had with Alexis is it not loading all GPUs. Recently I discovered --cuda-schedule auto and wow. I have all cards hashing within 3-5 seconds.

 In theory, Baikal or any of the other X11 ASIC makers COULD have split out just the skein (and the groetsl) algos to run seperately, like the Baikal already does on qubit and quark.
 Doesn't seem to have happened though - but if it did I'd expect it to be Baikal that did so, since it would be a smaller redesign (if any at all) of their chip.

I read somewhere that Apple Inc. has selected DGB for their coin.....

 Probability zero.

 If Apple were to have an "AppleCoin", they would start up their own - they've ALWAYS been about trying to maximise control on their products.

Apple's main "thing" from the beginning, and still today... has always been hardware... not software.   Thus the forcing devices such as macbook pro's, iphones, ipods.... into obsolescence.  My mother's macbook is a prime example to where in they pushed an OS update to it;  that literally broke it.  Not enough ram to boot.  No support for more system ram to upgrade.  She literally had to go buy a new model the other day.

This is a realistic thought to weigh in the assumption you are making....

Sidehack has done some custom cables for all my needs when I had a couple of EVGA 1300 g2. Give him a buzz.

Edit: I have switched everything to dual server PSU + minipico PSU now. So much easier working with them.

they are scum  as that set  is all you can get

it is 1 dual headed pcie  cable which is what he needs
it is 2 single head pcie  cables which he does not need
it is 1 cpu cables which he does not need.

so he would pay 30 usd  for 1 cable

[slackert]

I saw those prices as well. I don't understand why they don't sell individual cables. I found a few sites that custom make them but charge $20 for shipping!
