There are some [blocks for 3-4 cards](https://www.vortez.net/news_file/6317_thermaltake%20pacific%20vga%20waterblock%20for%20asus%20strix%20gtx%20980%20bridge.jpg), but not for seven, and not so close either. Perhaps in the commercial section somewhere? > > [quote=“Cryptohminer, post:104, topic:16302”]Only thing I customized was cutting off all the DVI ports to convert the card into a single-slot. Of course, that makes sense - thou such surgery may not be Ok under the Gpu Warrantee! Also, perhaps it’s the (first) image angle, but do you only have (just) one 8-pin Power Connector for each of those cards? ---

I would suggest to use 1080TI [http://mylifegadgets.com/GTX1080TI](http://mylifegadgets.com/GTX1080TI) better to re-sale later also. For PSU always use a gold one to get the maximum and let there be also available like 20% of the total power. ([http://mylifegadgets.com/EVGAGOLD](http://mylifegadgets.com/EVGAGOLD)) ---

@jimmy97one61 I do not have a wattmeter, but i noticed that EWBF’s miner shows almost same watt reading as **Corsair Link** in other rigs. **Corsair Link** is a software that works with top end Corsair PSU’s (AX1500i is one of them) and shows exact in/out watt usage, try to see if you can refund the wattmeter as you don’t need one Example from my AX1200i from another rig [img]//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/zcash/original/2X/5/5faead6c1c9509fe72e45c45c4f833a49fa70711.jpg[/img] Back to your request, here you go : **TDP@ 80** **Core : +100** [img]//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/zcash/original/2X/a/ae52c2794761371001c201f4b24312c66abd8307.jpg[/img] **TDP@ 60** **Core : +100** [img]//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/zcash/original/2X/7/755d1d05f6c4d4414563e083171d8301155eeb45.jpg[/img] ---

Great rig, very cool. But it must be quite expensive in total. How’s the RoI, and is Is the extra performance (& extra reliability) worth the cost? ---

Are you aware of the { [Cryptomined](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQ3XHtsH8Q9iQr9bFbgfDA) } channel on YouTube? I humbly suggest that you watch all of those clips, and many more. (eg [BBT](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVVWXoQfMfQVuzxcLylq9aA)). BEFORE you commit real Capital to something you don’t yet fully understand. At some point there may be a significant market “correction”, and we don’t want to be caught unprepared! Also, you might find this [calculator](http://www.mycryptobuddy.com/ZCashMiningCalculator) useful. ---
