12x 1080 TI Mining Rig Build (8300 sols)

[VoskCoin]

Hey guys I've been working on a 12x 1080 TI Mining rig for about a week hit a couple bumps in the road, its pretty much working properly now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEPasa6y2rA


Here's my video on it for those interested, guide on how I built it basically and overview.

A couple notes
 2400w Server PSU https://goo.gl/oG3vh6 is powering only the cards now and the EVGA 750w ATX PSU https://goo.gl/Wu5jvu is powering all risers, asrock h110 pro btc+ motherboard and the CPU / Molex slots. Powering ATX / Mobo / Risers then Server PSU/Cards

Screenshot was shown with 100 core 0 mem - now experimenting with best settings its been on 200 watts entire time, currently at 200 core -500 memory but always open to suggestions / mining equihash / ZenCash

For those interested in the parts used I put together a full part list that has everything I used to build this 12 gpu 1080 TI mining rig

Nice guide

I'm about to do a similar build but looking to use this PSU.

Interesting that you'll need only 6xVega56 (950watt) to have the same earnings as your monster 12x1080ti zec rig ))

Show your calc's. There is no way.


OP, it is recommended to power the risers with the SAME psu used to power said gpu.

Interesting and very detail video. But it would like to see the work of the rig. Temperatures, hashrate. You don't use external fans for additional cooling GPUs. Why?

[jmigdlc99]

Wow. I really enjoy the videos you post. Always juicy and just what is the dream of every cryptocurrency fanatic. My friend to me you are living the crypto life. Kudos, i envy you.
You've made a follower out of me and i've subscribed to your videos. I can even click on ads for you. Looking forward to more of your videos. Cheers!

[cryptocoinfarmer]

Looked your video nice mining rig construction.
Keep the good work.

I was told with my setup it'd be best to power everything aside from the cards with my ATX and then plug the server PSU in to power the cards about 3 seconds after turning on the mobo so that all risers will be on and can sync the cards?

@rednoW What calc leads you to believe that?

Thanks!

I would be all over that PSU if it was higher efficiency, seems PERFECT for this build lol

The PSU you use is a server psu, its powered up at all times, meaning your risers will have constant power. If two supplies power two different things, things can become out of sync.
If two different things are powered from one supply, things can NOT become out of sync.

I am no electrician therefor I wish someone with higher knowledge can confirm this to make you more certain that it is indeed wrongly setup.

Here's a read out of it right this second

This was 200 watts 100 core 0 mem

The structure it's setup in uses ambient air so now that its cold it will be no issue, next summer I may place a fan in front of it and I may put a 120mm fan in front of the server PSU since I'm pulling 100% out of it - constantly trying to improve my rigs and setup but seems like a never ending project . . lol

thanks my friend and thanks for watching

haha I'm not living the dream, apparently THE craig grant of bitconnect is . . . .

On a serious note I'm just chasing the dream / crypto life . . hoping to go full time into crypto in 2018 so we shall see. Really appreciate that and thank you, means a lot!

Thats pretty awesome. I realized to build a professional business it boils down to only the three essential factors:

* hardware price (Mh/s per $)
* hardware efficiency (Mh/s per kw/h)
* electricity price ($ per kw/h)

I also use the 2400w psu from parallelminer to power my cards on two miners one breakout board for one miner and the other for second I haven't had any issues my rigs been running for months with no down time or crashes when I was running psu's for my 290's I constantly burnt out plugs I'm also going to try out a pico on one and if all is good I'll run all my rigs off server psu's they are meant to run 24/7 the only issue for some people might be that the 2400w run off 220v so if you don't like or no how to play with power that can be a issue other than that I love these

[citronick]

Ahhh.... I saw the video now and make sense now about the power/wiring/synching issues.

Glad you got this going Vosk - congrats!

Those Deltas are very good - all my 12/13/19 GPU rigs are using them with PICO kits.

I have it on order and will be testing it  very soon.  I will run it with  about 1150  watts running 8x 1070's

when you say plugs you mean pcie plugs?
also I was talking with Joseph @ Parallel Miner the other day and he said that the 2400w supply is running low & that is why the price has gone up because their cost to get them has gone up. So we might need to stock up O_o

yeah xD

haha thanks my friend

Yeah I'm really impressed with the 2400w, a ton of power for such a small footprint

on your 12 13 19 gpu rigs, what cards do they consist of and do you use the pico kit from PM?
