Based on @BUTUZ numbers, to keep your PSU in the sweet spot you would want 198w @685 sols or less. Remember the mobo,cpu,fan(s), and HD use 100w to 150w alone ---

No doubt, Thanks for chiming in. Being conservative and bumping up the 1080ti needs to 250 W each then, the 1000W PSU should still cover everything for 3 cards. In fact at his highest numbers I’d come in at 1008W if the rest of the gear draws 150 W. I’ll stick with it for now unless I can get something bigger for comparable value ---

> [@politico](#): > > I picked up a 1000W Evga PSU thinking it’d be enough to handle 3x 1080ti cards w/ a 7700k. You might be better off with something like the EVGA Supernova P2 1200W. It does cost more than the P2/1000W version. But you get more efficiency, and the ability to run another GPU later. Also, you probably don’t want to be running your PSU at full tilt 24/7 (even though the EVGA/P2 sports a 10-year Warrantee). Imho. ---

Finally I have built my rig. Sorry for the huge delay. I only have two cards right now. But here is my build. Any questions or comments are welcome! I hope this helps somewhat for people wanting to build a rig with 1080 Ti’s. - Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11GB Graphic Cards GV-N108TAORUS X-11GD - Crucial 4GB Single DDR4 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) CL15 SR x8 Unbuffered DIMM 288-Pin Desktop Memory CT4G4DFS8213 - Intel BX80677G3930 7th Gen Celeron Desktop Processors - ASUS PRIME Z270-A LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI DVI M.2 USB 3.1 Z270 ATX Motherboard - CHICPICK USB3.0 PCI-E PCI Express 1X to 16X Riser Card Adapter, Mining Dedicated Graphics Card Extension Cable with SATA Power Slot Connector ,60CM US - SanDisk SSD PLUS 120GB Solid State Drive (SDSSDA-120G-G26) [Newest Version] - EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 80+ GOLD, 1600W Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 120-G2-1600-X1 I do have a question. I have two of the Aorus 1080 ti and one of them is running at 76 degrees C while the other is running at 67 degree C. They are not near each other, not connected to the monitor, pulling same wattage and putting out the same sol/s. Anyone have any guess as to why? ---

Thanks for the tip, So far I’ve got the rig at 2 1080ti’s and a 1060 6GB running on an 850W PSU and it seems to be running ok. (Using the 1000W on a diff rig, also bought a 1200W for a 4x RX580 rig but can swap out as needed). ---

No idea, but I experience something similar, but my two 1080ti’s are SLI’d as well (its my gaming/htpc machine when its not mining). Card 1 runs close to 80 degrees at full power, while card 2 runs below 70. But I usually decrease power and increase fan speed on card 1 to get cooler temps, but then sol/s suffer. Hopefully the tradeoff is longer lifespan of the card ---

> [@Blue](#): > > I have two of the Aorus 1080 ti and one of them is running at 76° C, while the other is running at 67° C. With AMD cards you can check the ASIC quality via GPU-Z, but I don’t think that works for Nvidia GPUs - That way you could tell if one of them has better capacity. Do you use the Precision-X utility, and do both cards show the same settings? Others on the forum report much greater efficiency, for Cash mining, when the Power (& Temp) is dialled down. ---

I Have a MSI Aero 1080ti making 684 sol/s at 100% power, +150 core +500 mem at full speed cooler. I want to upgrade another 1080ti, maybe Gigabyte AORUS, but I saw this article [http://yiimp.ccminer.org/bench?algo=all&chip=387](http://yiimp.ccminer.org/bench?algo=all&chip=387) based on real users, what do you think guys? ---

Is the one that is plugged into the monitor/ gpu0 the hotter one? That might be the cause. ---

I use Afterburner on both cards. They both have the same settings applied to them. ---

The one that is hotter is the GPU1 actually. Neither of the GPUs are plugged into the monitor. ---

At least I am not the only one experiencing the same problem. But it is a bit odd why it is though. ---

Besides the odd temperature, it is running without any problem for me ---

Just an update! I got two more 108Ti’s I could only run one of them because I ran out of SATA cables. Will probably get another PSU or if anyone knows where I can get individual EVGA SATA power cables please share! I will be sharing a screenshot of my Afterburner and miner soon. ---

Using Nvidia Zec miner 0.3.3b it displays fancy stats like wattage automatically and seems as fast as claymore. ---
