What kind of hash rate are you picking up? I hate to be redundant if you mentioned it in the video, but I don't have any sound right now so it wouldn't do me much good. It seems like you might be using more parts than needed to get the acquired goal. Beginners would be better served by fewer parts IMO, so with this being the case you would probably be able to cut down on all of these cards and just go with a pair of 1080TIs that you find for a good price. All of these cards would be taking up much more electricity than a couple 1080tis I would think and they give you more of a chance for failure with so many moving parts. More time spent RMAing and all of that. I suppose one benefit would be that when something does fail you would be out a less significant portion of your hash rate, unless it turns into a domino effect.

Nice review, but I'll never advise anyone to get 1050Ti's and RX560s. The lack in VRAM is just bad for long term. Add that to the efficiency rating compared to GTX1060s and 1070s... It's just not advisable. Rather get 3x 1060 6GB and add more later.

thanks, I see your POV, a big part just comes down to what people can buy. I'd rather have more expensive, fewer, but denser rigs I think that's one of the best ways to get into this (adding cards as you go) Some people won't buy the more expensive cards, but they will buy 8 sub 200 cards and thats what I tried to gear the video towards |

~13.6 / 108 mh/s @ 585 watts drawn That was actually my previous recommended beginner build (2x 1080 ti and 1070 mini) however prices everywhere are jacked and a super compact $2000 rig (assuming you got decent deals on parts) turned into a $3000 rig in todays market . . lol Some people just prefer the cheaper cards, personally I'm focused on 1080 ti and 1070 ti rigs myself but I'm trying to expand my content some |

Hey there, good to see you here. I watch a lot of your videos! Do you prefer any particular type of risers yourself and would you recommend them? Like 6-pin PCI-E, Molex, 103C, 006C, etc... I'd like to build a rig with 1080 Tis  Thx and say hi to Tails from me!  |

I guess it is harder to find a 1080ti priced well for ROI than it is to find 1050's with the same criteria. It would just kill me to settle for lesser cards when I know a little bit of diligence would get me stronger cards that ROI quicker for the same overall price.

I'd like to build a rig with 1080 Tis I don't think 1080TIs need risers, never heard of anyone having a sufficient need for these with their 1080ti rig. Some people just put them in there as a precaution or out of habit. |

It would have been nice if you actually brought something to the discussion. I'm assuming this means you disagree, but you've not explained yourself or clarified a position. You can set up a perfectly fine mining rig, without risers of any kind. I've known many people to run dozens of 1080tis at once that have never even considered risers. There are endless amounts of problems that pop up with the usage of risers and the benefits they provide are mostly nullified by better planning/design. Their usage can be avoided, while saving money and without losing power is what I'm talking about. You can set up a rig with less of a chance of failure, for cheaper without them. |

Let's assume you are hooking up 6x 1080ti's to a system board that has 2x pci-e x16 and 4x pci-e x1 or whatever. You could plug in two cards directly, and for the other 4 are there different options other than risers? Just trying to clarify as you say their usage can be avoided but I don't see an alternative mentioned. Thanks! |

I use the RX580 in my rigs. I prefer to have less GPU but more profit margin. The most popular coin for mining now is ETH. What will you mine with RX 560? My opinion that RX 560 this yesterday day. For this reason, the price of these GPU is kept at a low level. It is better to buy more advanced equipment and add a GPU at least the appearance of money.

The alternative would be buying a different board. I don't know why you would buy a board that doesn't support what you plan to do with it. I understand risers have been solid for people in the past, but I've done fine just buying boards that have the amount of slots I plan to use. I guess I've just had the benefit of not being put in a position or situation where I am trying to make something work that wasn't meant to. If you buy a board and a bunch of cards that you didn't research, then I guess yeah you could use risers to fix your mistake. I just wouldn't suggest them as a first option or a priority. |

That's the exact issue, finding a reasonably priced 1080 TI, when their price point moved over $800 usd they became a lot less appealing most of mine were bought for 650-700 |

I just wouldn't suggest them as a first option or a priority. it is kinda hard to find a board to do 8 NVidia gpus on one pc or to do 8 nvidia and 8 amd on same pc. there are some boards with 4-6 slots and one that I know of with 8 (octominer) but risers are easy and there is a semi cheap mobo that you can hook 16+ cards to.. so having 3-4 pcs to do the job of one is a massive waste of resources/money. asus b250 mining expert. you can hook 3 separate psu's up to it for whatever combo you have in mind. |
