I have a 200KHASH lyra improvement ready for the 750ti. (+5%) but it is slower on the 970. Need to tweak it some more
Great! If i can help, just ask. In the optimalization i use half of the registers and more level1 cache. Will submit soon. I bet the 970 has also a cut down level 1 cache. (It's level 2 cache is cut down and actually smaller than that of a 750ti) Each maxwell SMM has its own level 1 cache which is actually larger (96 kByte to 64 kByte) compared to the 750ti SMM. So nothing is cut in that regard it seems. Thanks. I reduced intensity and set the threads per block to 9. And now I get +100-150kHASH in lyra2v2 with the reduced register version. Default intensity for the gtx970 is now -X 18. (used to be -X 26) gtx 970: 9950KHASH now (submitted to github) If you can help me find the best intensities on the different models that would be great. (scryptr, are you there?) ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I wouldn't use wood near any electronic equipment, unless the insurance agent is a friend of yours ;-) (In event of fire, regardless how much care you took, the insurance will not pay if they know you used wood)
To each his own I guess but I'm absolutely confident the wood wouldn't make any difference that aluminum would in case of major failure. Yeah I use wood too. Wood has a pretty high point of catching fire. It's a great insulator against electricity and heat up till that point. Wood rack here too and no problems. Had 4x280x on it for almost a year before converting it to 6x 750ti, the 280x ran hot as hell and the wood barely got warm let alone hot enough to catch on fire. 750 ti obviously no problems, cool quit and efficent ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

These +five more where stacked with 5 x 280x cards until two years ago when i stopped mining. I have a total of ten frames but i think i will stop when these are filled up because i promised myself to not go full retard again ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) In total there will be 20 x 750Ti and 5 x 280x cards.

Silicon burns too as do the plastic most motherboards and heatsink fans are made out of. This is why you invest in a good PSU that will auto shut off if such a thing happens. And second the smoke alarm.

Personally this rack is what I use and can be picked up at almost any hardware store. "Lowes/Homedepot" I think could easily be modded for such a cause as these "even tho I haven't myself yet" but my needs where different at the time. This unit: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Edsal-36-in-W-x-18-in-D-x-72-in-H-Steel-Commercial-Shelving-Unit-UR185L-BLK/202995256?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-202995256-_-Nwhich can be setup into two units one with 3 shelves the other will only have two shelves. Instead of one tall 5 shelve unit. It splits in the middle and is part of the reason for odd number of shelves. The center shelve interlocks the two together. In case you can't make that out in the store picture. But for under 60 bucks its a quick solution for muti card rigs or just rigs in general. Open air and easy to keep cool. Could even easily set up a box fan on each end if heat becomes a problem. Push + Pull & enclose it with Plexiglas. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FkvNkrof.jpg&t=665&c=D3bojT6DZV2DDQ)

i think its time to step up to a 980ti and have a look at how this thing works .. is it better? ... and im not asking about the hashrate ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) ... #crysx Looking at the BIOS of that card it has an absolute maximum of 366W power consumption limit if I'm reading it correctly which aligns perfectly with a techpowerup review. Of course that's with some crazy synthetic test like FurMark and the usual peak consumption is about 300W. But even that is a lot. I think these bigger cards are all about scaling; they get somewhat inefficient hash per watt at full speed but get pretty great if you decrease the power target like I found with the 970 a while back ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1091755.msg11636995#msg11636995). With downvolting it could be much more significant but I haven't tried it. So on one hand low profit margins warrants efficiency with lower power target but then the initial card price is too much but from another point of view if the profit margins were to increase in the future pushing the cards to hash as fast as they can would be more profitable. Also, different prices; in my case with the prices I'm presented with it doesn't worth it for me to go for anything above 970s. Yup you can gain efficiency by lowering the TDP slider. However you lose hashrate and clockspeed doing it to the point where it's not even worth buying the bigger cards anymore. Running a 970 at 960 speeds is kinda pointless. I wouldn't use wood near any electronic equipment, unless the insurance agent is a friend of yours ;-) (In event of fire, regardless how much care you took, the insurance will not pay if they know you used wood)
To each his own I guess but I'm absolutely confident the wood wouldn't make any difference that aluminum would in case of major failure. Yeah I use wood too. Wood has a pretty high point of catching fire. It's a great insulator against electricity and heat up till that point. unless your cards throw out sparks ( like 7 of the gigabyte 7970 oc cards did ) when they decided to go faulty when i first started out ... turns out they had a leak in the cooling fluid in the heat pipes and it was dripping onto the board - which shorted a few components and sparks started flying evrywhere - eventually killing the board ... 7 of them in a single batch with the same problem ... wood maybe a good heat insulator - and bad conductor of eletricity - but there is no protection to raw sparks ... wood? ... no tanx ... #crysx

Is this lyra2v2? You need to find the correct intensity for your cards. Try -X 26 on the 980 and -X 16 on the 960' And in the file cuda_lyra2v2.cu you can try different values for TPB52. It is set to 9. try all values from 1 to 32 compile test and keep the best one.

Yes, v2. Ok. -X works separately for cards (-X 10,9,8)?

I am running all my stuff in alu frames. These +five more where stacked with 5 x 280x cards until two years ago when i stopped mining. I have a total of ten frames but i think i will stop when these are filled up because i promised myself to not go full retard again ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) In total there will be 20 x 750Ti and 5 x 280x cards. I went with metal frame this time instead of wood. Building from scratch. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) What are the cost of those frames plz. thz Sorry sp for messing your thread up.
