Buysolar has closed on three 2 acre lots. Plan is build a two acre 240 volt 400 amp using funds from current array. Maybe may or June. Then using funds from two arrays build a second two acre array and finally build a third one. Maybe may June 2018 Then may June 2019 Then May June 2020 So 1 x 400 x 240. Now 2 x 400 x 240. June 2018 3 x 400 x 240. June 2019 4 x 400 x 240. June 2020 About 15 kwatts 42 kwatts 67 kwatts 92 kwatts And in a way it is close to free power. |

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=16- 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! A - Are you sure it's not on Compute mode? After reboot it's still showing Graphics? B - the settings are saved, so you don't have to do this every time ar reboot |

B - the settings are saved, so you don't have to do this every time ar reboot A- yeah, after a crash and reboot, that 6th GPU that was showing Grpahics before did indeed change to Compute, so that issue has been rectified B- well, the Compute vs Graphics settings do indeed stay intact after crash/reboot, but sadly the actual individual settings (clock speed, undervolt, etc - all on the wattman tabs) do not save, even after hitting apply, so have to be reset after every reboot  another posted recommended a 3rd party app that I will be trying soon, so hope to alleviate this as well. |

Should I just get the Ver 1.0 then? Phil, do you have any left?
Yeah I have 1 for you are you usa based? 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-XRNo one has tested the newer model and it still has flaws. I am running mine with 7 cards easy peasy no hassles So you have to pick your poison so to speak. hey Phil... thanks for linking that EVGA 1kw PSU! I just picked one up as that is by far the best price on this or any other good 1kw PSU i've seen in a long time! I am actually finally about to take the plunge into Nvidia mining so this PSU should be perfect for what I think might be a 6x 1070 rig. I have eliminted both 1060's and 1080ti's from consideration but still trying to decide for sure between 1070/1070ti/1080. All seem to be about the same cost/hash/watt/profitability ratio... at least from what I have gleaned so far. Any recommendations between these 3? I assume I can mix and match? maybe something like 2 of each? Any recommendation on brands? EVGA seems to be good in this space but seems like they have various versions even within say the 1070. It's a bit confusing coming from Radeon-only GPUs so far, so any recommendations would be welcomed. For instance, these 2 look identical spec wise but the 1st is $25 cheaper than the 2nd. I am missing a nuance? And is that nuance important for mining? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487265https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487248Also, has anyone here put 1070ti's to use and compared vs regular 1070s? What kind of difference hash-rate and wattage have you seen between the 2? |

What kind of difference hash-rate and wattage have you seen between the 2? I can not tell the difference between them other then the part number. I love my 1070ti's https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-5678-KRthey get 500 sols using 130 watts my 1070's get only 465 sols using 130 watts |

Those 1070Ti are decent, but it's like always: a function of pricing. They are okay... But also a classic nVidia money grab! For a tad more money you can get a 1080, and a little more will buy you a Vega56 that will exterminate it in Cryptonight. |

460-470 sol/s on a GTX 1070 ti running at 106 watts +200 core +700 memory - working both of my EVGA SC 1070 ti, the bunch Voskcoin used in his rig in his video, 6 more in a rig I helped build as a consulting job last week, and the Zotac Mini I got today.
1080 hits almost identical figures, but costs typically 10% or so more for the "same model" card.
+100 core +100 memory seems to be the optimal point for the EVGA SC and Zotac Mini 1080 models, haven't done a lot of fine tuning on the rest of my 1080 collection yet (mostly Gigabytes).
1070 has to push a lot harder and runs noticeably less efficiently to get anywhere near that ballpark, but it DOES tend to cost a fair bit less.
I've not done any "most efficient point" testing on my 1070 collection yet, as they're all low enough power that I can run them at higher TDP % to maximise hashrate (they're also all in left-over FAH 3-card rigs at this point).

did you try it with zm miner too ? because i get around 478 - 491 on 1070 with it and 580 on gtx 1080 with 550 memory and 120 cclock tdp 90 % |

Nah, 1080's do over 550 and that's at 80% tdp (+110 core). Higher at 90%, as halker2010 mentioned above. DSTM's zm miner works better than EWBF. Again, we shouldn't be debating raw speed. We should be debating speed&efficiency vs price. If you overpay your 1070Ti you're getting a bad deal vs a 1080 and a Vega. nVidia placed the 1070Ti as a short-term "answer" to Vega for gaming needs, mostly. Do your homework as a miner and know what you are paying, and what you'll be getting for that money. |

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 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2467999.msg25281155here's a link to the thread with parts and video // here's the video again if anyones interested -- think I could take performance any further? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxBYbAAtXWA 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. Agreed I have a metal rack on order, just used the plastic rack as it was just simply there, the upside down v is interesting //// give me your farm citronick lol |

To be honest, Just get the GPU type that is on sale/lower price than usual. I got some 1080s for cheaper than 1070tis some time back. And with profitability right now ( and if you have low electric cost ) its profitable to get old GPU's too, 7950, 7970, 280x, mod them and stick em on equihash for example. If you have the room/space/etc.

yeah price is king next is sols per watt then rma service here is a decent card at a decent price https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-5170-RXmy first rma today of a 1080 ti the msi aero is not detected on 3 different boards. and a question my asus 1080 ti turbo fan is dying any repair tips? I know I can simply stick a bgears turbo fan and problem solved. |
