    GPU Mining GTX Zotac 1080 Mini

    GTX Zotac 1080 Mini

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 05:29 AM PST

    Hi guys. I'm thinking of buying the GTX Zotac 1080 Mini GPU for mining, what are your experiences with it? Is it good enough, and what about cooling, I ask because it is smaller than the standard 1080. And one more thing, in my country the price between the standard Asus 1070 and the Zotac 1080 Mini is minimal, about $40, what are you suggesting, which one to buy?

    What exactly is a mining card?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 11:13 PM PST

    https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131725&_ga=2.248973127.1168501590.1512111573-1598585276.1512111573

    What is the difference between this card and a reg 560 besides it having no hdmi ports? Does it having no hdmi make it draw less power? Would it be worse at gaming than a regular 560?

    PCI-E splitters

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 07:52 AM PST

    Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with the splitters to plug 2-4 risers in a single PCI-E slot. I have a motherboard and some DDR3 RAM laying around, but the board only has 1 16x and 2 1x slots. I could pick up a CPU for ~$40 and 2 4x splitters with risers for ~$45/ea and have 9 slots available for ~$130, but have heard that splitting the PCI-E bus can be unreliable. Would I be better off just buying a different mobo? I'd prefer to reuse stuff that I already have on hand if it will save me some cash.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 06:58 AM PST

    Hey guys i just built a new rig with 6 EVGA SC2 1080ti's i had the rig mining last night before i went to bed and it was "stable" for 9 hours and it crashed. i had 80% power +50 Core + 500Mem.

    When i went to restart it it gave me a " Device 3 & 5 Solver benchmark error work with default" followed by device 0 1 2 Error 46 Device 3 4 5 error 77

    i have updated to latest version of nvidia driver, added --solver 0 to config and attempted to down clock and remove device 3 + 5 from cuda_devices but i still get the same error 46 and 77

    Any ideas ?

    Overclock more than 8 GPUs

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 05:12 AM PST

    Hello,

    I just added 2 more GPUs to my former 7 GPU rig, for a total of 9 now.

    To my big surprise, MSI Afterburner doesn't allow overclocking of more than 8 GPUs.

    Before I destroy all the scripts I have made for Windows and move to linux, does anyone know other programs that allow OCing more than 8 GPUs? I will have 14 in this rig.

    I have already tried evga precision, but it is limited to 4 gpus...

    Thanks for your help

    Toggle HBCC Vega 64 Advice

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 11:04 PM PST

    I'm running a few Vega 64's and I the only way to get them to preform is by toggling that HBCC button in Wattman each time something happens to the system then hitting apply - which takes forever across multiple cards. Wondering if there is a faster way that someone has gotten around this Wattman bug? Can I enable via drivers?

    How much energy would I actually use with a 12 card rig?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 10:00 PM PST

    I live at a college apartment where I pay a flat monthly rate and I don't pay energy bills. Do you think if I ran a 12 card rig they would notice something's up and kick me out?

    There are 9 buildings with 12 apartments each in each apartment. So total 108 apartments, which is 648 people in my complex.

    So would a 12 card rig be noticeable in energy increases? How much would the 12 card rig increase energy usage?

    Side note: I live in Idaho, these are the current rates https://www.electricitylocal.com/states/idaho/rexburg/

    Is it to late to get into mining?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 01:38 AM PST

    6 Months ago i was thinking about getting into mining. I read some forums and most people told me that it was to late. Same thing today, most people says its to late. But if i were to start 6 months ago i would have paid of the rig i was about to buy. And i believe if i buy it today i will still be able to pay it off in about 10 months. And if something happens i could still recover most of the cost by selling the 1080s i'm thinking about investing in. My theory is that if people wont go enough profit they will sell their GPUs and people that mines will start to gain money again. And new coins will always be created, i live in Sweden so the electrity is cheap. Im new to this and enlighs is not my native language

    What happened to half of my BTC balance?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 10:59 PM PST

    TL;DR Half my BTC vanished and came back. Is this just something weird that happens when dealing with cryptocurrency? I sort of assumed they weren't gone for good and, sure enough, they came back out of nowhere.

    Sorry if the title is a little click-baity... as I was typing this, the situation seems to have sorted itself out, but now I'm just curious what happened.

    First of all, my rig is just my gaming computer and I'm fooling around with NiceHashMiner as a novice.

    EVGA GeForceGTX1060 6gb; MSI H110M Gaming mobo; 750w PSU, Windows 10, no overclocking, using just my GPU to mine via HashMiner.

    So I boot up HashMiner trying to get my CPU to do some mining along with my GPU. It turns out it won't, at least not without some troubleshooting, so I turned off the cpu as a worker, shut down HashMiner and go play some video games.

    When I come back and open up HashMiner, my BTC balance is half what it was when I last saw it. I wasn't really worried because at this point I've only accrued almost a dollar.

    So after a few minutes I close out Hash, reopen it, after disabling the cpu miner again, and as I started typing this post, the rest of my BTC balance appears just like it should have.

    Any idea what happened?

    Alternative to Nicehash

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 09:44 AM PST

    I've been mining for 2 months now with 1080Ti. I get around 0,014 BTC/month with Nicehash which is pretty nice. I am looking to expand and I plan to buy a 1070 since my current setup will handle additional card and I can buy it for ~60% of the retail price. Is there a viable alternative to Nicehash where everything is automated as much as possible? Can I get better returns elsewhere?

    Server PSU bracket/mount in rackmount server case

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 11:40 AM PST

    Anyone know any good ways to mount a server PSU inside (or outside) one of those rackmount server cases? I saw this youtube video and was wondering if anyone has done something like this (particularly those with ATX+server PSU rigs built in rackmount server cases)? If so, what problems did you run into and how did you fix them?
