Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread.

[JaredKaragen]

The V2.0 board looks interesting...

I dont like the vertical HDMI port;  I know they were saving space, but damn... flimsy looking... eek.

I like the re-positioning of the ATX power, but not the location.  over by the CPU was smarter. you would have to extend the power cable on a pico to reach, and the cable for ATX from a PSU would have to go under the gpu's... more mess there... I want airflow there.

They removed the +4 1x connectors;  I could live with that.

replacing that many molex/sata plugs with that many PCIE plugs does not make sense in a wattage standpoint.....  I think it could have had fewer.... plus, forcing the psu to be in a odd/undesired location.

That is the case i have my new 1950x setup in... its really nice with the magnetic filters, but boy is it large and heavy...
https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Stackable-Certified-Computer-CA-1D8-00F1WN-00/dp/B00TQI9BY8

Can you really fit 13 cards inside?

I have no clue how you would fit 13, i have 4 installed on my 1950x x399 board with watercooling and its a little tight with all the wires and tubes... im using PEX as my tubing for testing purposes.....

There is room on the bottom level, but not really a lot imo and its not a great high flow air case... to much open space with the amount of fans on the case, server cases push more air compared to this case. My 4U, 4 x 1080ti rig on water runs cooler than the above thermaltake case due to the sheer amount of forced airflow in a tight space. The thermaltake seems to have hot spots in the case even with 3 radiators and fans supporting it.

Any chance you can post some pics of your PEX project?  I have PEX in my new house and use it for my self watering garden set up.  Would love to see how you incorporated it in water cooling!

My ver 2.0 should've  arrived yesterday but still getting delayed from aramex , hopefully they will deliver soon .

I deleted your post as it was taking forever to up load the photos.

I will try a faster way full size above smaller below

[TheYankeesWin!]

I see multiple problems or possible problems. With new board.

The good side  eight cards of any size  fit.
The bad side  it is still ATX based  and it wants 6 pcie jacks in this means  less pcie jacks  for mining.

If you get  a server  psu  you need  a good  pico psu.

Hey guys just put together my latest rig. . its a 12x 1060 3gb evga superclocked miner, ideally I want it on ETH for the time being as that's projected to be the most profitable and I've been only doing equihash builds lately

getting ~21.5 mh/s on these cards with 100 core 700 mem and 70 PL on claymore 10

Big thanks to the several people who posted tips to update my drivers for ETH + DCR mining! I was finally able to get my hashrate almost back to what it was earlier this year. I am still about 10-12 Mh/s short but this is much much closer than the 35-40 short i was per rig, so thank you very much to all that contributed!

Here is exactly what I did (in the hopes it might help others with this same issue):

1- Updated DDU to current version (I was using old version on previous attempts)
2- Rebooted in safe mode and ran DDU (I was previously running in regular mode)
3- Installed latest Crimson drivers 17.11.2
    (At this point I did NOT try installing the Pixel patcher that was recommended)
4- Rebooted and updated Afterburner to v4.4.0
    (Font size and icon size seemed good at this point but when i checked watt-tool and AB & Device Mgr, nothing was showing up)
5- Downloaded Pixel-patcher and ran it
    https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher?page=1
6- Rebooted again and now everything in Dev Mgr & Watt-Tool was showing up ok
7- launched the new AB but everything was zero value and grayed out
8- opened up the dreaded AMD wattman
    a- switched all 6 GPUs from Graphics to Compute (WM had to restart each time)
    b- went in and lowered core and voltage settings and increased clock speeds (had to do this 6 times of course, again ridiculous)
     (watt-tool undervolts showed as before but they were NOT taking effect as my power draw prior to wattman changes was through the roof!)
9- Launched Claymore and speeds were very close to expected

Couple of issues still:
A- 1 of my 6 GPUs would not change from Graphics to Compute. I tried several times and it would not take effect. So that GPU is now running about 4 Mh/s slower than the other 5. Anyone know how to address this issue?

B- It took FOREVER to update all of those settings in wattman! Reminded me again how much I hated working with that POS before i discovered watt-tool and AB. 
My question here is... are these settings essentially saved there once applied? Or am i going to have to go through all of that again if that rig crashes or reboots?

Thanks again!

nice build  a wider  rack 4 foot would keep cards cooler. I know you linked a wider rack

so 3000  for 3120 sols  using 840 watts


my 1070 ti hybrid 8 card

was 4500  for  4100 sols using 960 watts  more efficient but cost more per sol.

my is waterblock  so I paid a few hundred extra.

[philipma1957]

I can do  170 in btc shipped on monday via large flat rate.


you need a shorter card for first slot but  it may be better deal.

If you mine  7 x  1070's  set to 105 watts  = 735 watts 

running smos  this psu  is a good one on sale

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=120-G2-1000-XR


No one has tested the newer model and it still has flaws.



I am running mine with 7 cards easy peasy no hassles

On my Zotac P106-100, 200/1400/100w gets me around 23Mhs on smOS/Claymore10.

Hanging cards on both sides 6 by 6 (like an upside down "V") will give more room to ventilate.

Metal frame racks better than "plastic" frame... keep the plastic rack for your storage, and get a metal open cage rack.

Below my 12xGPU rigs on Biostar B250 12xGPU mobo with single Delta 2400w server PSU - cards are 6+6=12 x RX470s.

The Delta is also hung with s hooks, with exhaust pointing upwards.



On another note:

The ONDA D1800 boards will move to old farm soon for the 390s and Nanos, so the P106s will now go to the Asus 19xGPU board.

18 x P106-100 Batman rig coming up soon.... with nvOC.

With Air cooling . .how many cards do you think you could squeeze in there? hell of a case! lol

Definitely an interesting trade off, you've definitely peaked my interest with the water cooled builds, have you considered a central radiator type build?

Also thanks for the quick shipping on the board! I am going to start messing around with it soon! Will leave you + trust (not that you need it xD)
