Rafa…how did card temperatures change after you stuffed the 5th one in?
Looks very nice!

Interesting… The price though is crazy! How is it so cheap? Can you let me know how it runs after a bit (I will probably ask you).
Running just fine. Haven’t had any issues since we started using the first one a few weeks ago.
Duplicated post from another 1080ti thread, but I really need assistance
Hey guys! I There is a question regarding PSU. I use beQuiet 1200W for 3 GTX 1080TI Extreme on Asus H81-M K, on Windows 10 and all is good. But, lately I tried to add the 4-th same card on ASHRock H81 BTC Pro. And I was not able to add it. I made changes in Bios, so cards setup was OK. The problem was with Aorus Engine - it just don’t recognize the 4-th card. I reinstalled it to v1.24 and Nvidia drivers. So, I ended up with presumption that my 1200W are not enough.
I would be grateful for your thiughts
same here, try another OC software before investigating on PSU
my config: 6x 1080TI Extreme @ 85% TPD = 1420W (wattmeter)
Will investigate. Thanks
Dont know if this thread is dead or not, but I have had pretty good luck running three 1000w gold evga power supplies per 8 cards. I run the components + 2 cards on one, then three cards on each of the two remaining. Vega 64’s too. I think they are at about 250-300w per card so similar to the 1080ti? So a bit more expensive but works. I killawat meter is usually showing right under 1000w per power supply.
I think most miners would prefer to reduce power somewhat to increase efficiency. And I think you can get away with fewer PSUs than you suggest.
I’m running 8x 1080ti cards on one EVGA 1300W gold and one 1000W gold. Power reduced to 85-90% for a total of 1800W for the GPUs (225W per card) + system. The biggest problem was the lack of VGA outputs/cables on the PSU, and I had to buy some extra 6+8 power cables off ebay.
I Buy EVGA 1600w and connect 5x GTX 1080ti and undervolt 80% 180/208w everything take 1070w.
Hi, nice rig! I am building a similar rig. Which risers did you use?
I’m aware that for the 1080ti, you shouldn’t use Molex to SATA connectors because they will burn out.
OR
Thanks!
Hey, where did you buy this case? Really liked!
Here very good case

Hey, I’m talking about the one in the picture, I liked the closed ones, not open air. Can you tell me? Thanks!

Good case but too much Fan noise
Great info. Definately following. About to start my first GPU build and my S9 is on the way too
@Sprucemoose - Indeed. People seem to think that gpu’s consume huge amounts of energy. In fact, wattage is way lower compared to gaming load, e.g a 1070 ti could easily be at 170-180w during gaming, whereas with mining, you can reduce wattage to circa 115w with ±500 sols.
I’m running 6 x 1070ti with a 850w psu just fine. The total consumption of the rig is about 730 - 750w.
They do consume huge amounts of energy, that isn’t an opinion, that isn’t speculation, that is a fact.
Wattage is not way lower compared to a gaming load. Most gamers are online 8 to 12 hours a day playing ( I know that number might be a little low, but I am basing that number on me) and the GPU(s) (what you can’t game with only one GPU that’s sacrilege!) does not run at 100% max load every single minute. Whereas a mining rig is running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. and before you bring back up that you can reduce the voltage, well you can do the same thing under a gaming theme, you will take a FPS hit, just like you take a H/s hit.
As for the fact that you are running 6 1070TI’s on a SINGLE 850w PSU, (cough) HOW?
6 risers = at bare minimum and I do mean bare -150w
Mobo/CPU/HD/fan = @ bare minimum 100w
850w - 250w = leave 600w
That means you are running each 1070ti at 100w or less and this leave zero room for power fluctuations
oh wait! you said you use between 730w-750w, let me redo this.
@ 750w - 250w for mobo and risers = 500w for 6 1070ti’s which means you are doing 83w per 1070ti
I I would absolutely love to see screenshots of your O/C settings, H/s, and pictures of your voltage/power meter because you sir have the most efficient rig I have ever heard of.
I have several friends that would love to use your setup and reduce their energy footprint.
