For you guys running the ONDA D8P boards, did you need a "power button" to start the board?  (e.g. short pins to power up)....

once you get the board powered up, use the setting in the bios to autoboot when power is connected.. you should never need to worry about shorting again.

So the first/initial boot requires a short?

Wow I can't believe how quick that was - I just decided to list 10 1080 Ti's  on OfferUp last night just to test the site out - had 15 offers and some dude is on his way over that supposedly wants them all.

I'm going to have to say considering these have been mining for a year this isn't bad at all.

no, mine fired up as soon as i powered up the psu. and it was set to power on after power failure by default in the bios from the factory. even a bios reset results in it powering up with the psu.

First question is, what does the 20Amps derated mean to 30amps PDU's?
 I am looking to see if I can run 4 rigs on a 30amp PDU from my Dryer connection. I live in an apartment and I have no other of changing anything, so I'm sacrificing my washer and dryer, I can do laundromats.

 It depends on the PDU - a few are "continuous rated" in which case they will probably be listed as "24 amp", most are not in which case a 30 amp unit should be derated to that 24 amps.

 The drier circuit is ITSELF probably a 30 amp circuit, in which case you would have to derate to 24 amps continuous usage ANYWAY.

 If your rigs eat 1320 watts "at the wall" or less, you should be fine with 4 of them.
 If your voltage at the outlet is higher than 220 volts, you can go proportionally higher on the wattage per rig safely.

Very well clarified, so you saying I can run 4 rigs if I pull 1320W from the wall, I truly was hoping to run 4 rigs off this one dryer outlet, so I can have run for expansion cos I see my incinerator runs on a 20Amps breaker but only rated for 5.6Amps, thinking of running an extension cord from the other outlet its plugged into.

Each rig running right now pulls 1050 and 980 respectively, still plan on dropping down the power draw on the 1050 one, letting it run because it gives me 204mh/s with 1150/2020 core/mem with 1500 straps and top at 110W, will revisit the rig and see if I can trade 10W on each card that's 70W for 1mh/s, 7 total, will bring the rig down to 197.

 Should be able to run *5* rigs if they are only pulling 1050 watts each.

 Extension cords to run a miner = VERY BAD idea, even the heavy-duty ones tend to heat up a lot at the connections.

I have had clients that ran huge grow ops in Bell Air and would run 10 gauge extension cords throughout - I think the lights only pulled like 1200 watts or something each.

I did a couple tours through some of these mansions and I still can't believe or understand how they would get away with gutting these multi million dollar homes. Rent was 25k-30k on some of these homes and they didn't even hire an electrician to wire things...  people amaze me.

Long story short, heavy duty extension cords do work. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but I had these clients for about 8 years doing their financials and they didn't burn down a single house. Luckily.

I know a lot of you guys are into the riserless mobo setups, mining cave is coming out with a new rig kit (gpu mining rig w/o gpus, along with premade rigs) with a nice box around this setup, I tore one down in todays video if you're interested -- looks like a colorful board? anyone know the model number?

Message Sedonia, she can probably tell you what board that is.  How much is Mining Cave selling the case/mobo unit for?  I didn't see any listing for just the case/mobo....

Only one extension cord that'll bring the 30A 240V connection from the dryer socket adapter to the PDU, no other one other than that; and it's a 10/3 gauge wire. I'm keen on safety too, I don't own the property and my insurance covers only my four wall. Thanks for the advice, will monitor the connection once it's set up and gradually put load on it.

Can someone explain how all those 16 PCIe power connectors on that board are used?

The connectors on the short end are power inputs and the connectors on the long end are outputs??

Guys, anyone know how to prevent windows 10 from installing the falls creators update ?
My 4 GPUs rig doesn't work with the update, don't know why, and don't have the time to troobleshoot.
So I have to come back to previous version almost everyday, as the update install itself automatically every day ...
Very annoying.

You got it figured.

So if you're powering a GTX 1080 Ti that uses 250 watts and power is supplied by 2x 8 pin PCIe power connectors, you'd feed the power to the board on the short side.  That single lead would give the board the bus power it needs and then the power for the cards would route through the board out the long side connector to a double headed PCIe power lead to the top of the GPU?

I can see how cabling and wire management would be neat and clean.  BUT, seems like you'd be pushing a ton of watts through the board as a result.

yeah that makes me nervous too. potentially ~2000 watts if your cards come up at full power due to whatever. are there any published specs on what the upper power limit per card is for this board?

Go to Windows Button, Right Click > Execute > services.msc > windows update > STOP, and then click on properties and deactivate

Thank you for trying to help !
Unfortunately it doesn't seems to be enough !
I do it each time I roll back, but it finally end installing the update anyway ... (generally I wake up and see the rig is down, then I check and see the fall creators update is installed  )
