Phil, some questions:
1. 4GB RAM enough? I know 8GB RAM is just nice, 16GB maybe overkill in a miner rig. Did you have to setup 16GB minimum for windows virtual file, as required by Claymore to run his miners?
2. Pandaminer paint and finish seems nice from pix -- good sturdy build? At a glance from your pix the miner is quite small.
3. From boot up -- could you see any BIOS opening screens, ie. American Megatrends, Panda? etc. Have you tried all the possible keys to enter BIOS?
4. The small "on/off" switch is tiny as per pix but I think like it this way to prevent any accidental reboots or shutdown. Did you have any specific reasons to have the button larger?
5. In a multi-panda farm format; with some clearance on top and below, do you reckon that can easily rack the miners vertically? PSUs on top of rack?
6. What is Crimson drivers that was installed in the miner? Have you tried upgrading to 16.11.4? Compatible with W10 Enterprise?
7. Have your tried running Nicehash Windows Miner? sgminer-gm? wolf XMR miner?
Thanks
@ Citronik - You don't need 8GB RAM yet. I have many rigs running up to 7 GPU 470, 480, Furies 390 and are still using 4GB and this miner is doing the same with 8GPU which is validation for that. You just need to change the windows page file size to 16GB and since we're running SSD, it won't slow down our rigs. In the future when if it becomes necessary, you can add another 4GB easily but it's an unnecessary cost at the moment.
@Phil - Is this Panda completely just powered by PCI only? This would be fantastic news, as I can power a ton of this without needing ATX Power supplies. The IBM 4KW Server PSU bundle seems like a winner's choice for this. .
