My hats off to fullzero!  Thank you for taking the time to put together and maintaining this amazing build.  Back in the BTC days I was stuck with Win 7 and finally dived back in when ETH started it's journey to the moon.  Win7 gave me plenty of instability issues, Win10 gave me low hash rates, Xubuntu gave me plenty of instability as well, specifically with GPUs falling off the bus.  Additionally Xubuntu did not utilize the second CPU core, which made a Kaby Lake CPU run 15-20 degrees hotter.  Under your build, the one Kaby Lake CPU I have runs nice and cool using both cores.  nvOC gave me a completely worry free and easy to use solution.  Again, I thank you!   Here is my current setup

7 Rigs total

OS Build: Yours!  nvOc v0017
MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboards w/ May 2017 BIOS
Celeron G3900 Skylake CPUs (except 1 Kaby Lake)
8GB of Corsair DDR4
Samsung EVO 750 SSD (overkill, but this was before I was on nvOC)
33 x Gigabyte 1050Ti (stock boost clock 1506) - 12.5Mh/s ea. on these with no oneBash changes
2 x ZOTAC 1070 Amp Editions - still testing these.  I should be able to bump the mem up by 650Mhz, but they are running much hotter than in Win10.  I did the fuzzy %/TDP math and set them at 105W, but no difference.  Work in progress.
1 x EVGA Classified 980Ti (why not, just collecting dust).
TP Link Smart Plugs for emergency shutdown or cluster power cycle
3 x 15 Amp Circuits
Shelly SSH App for iPhone

Total cranking out an average of 500Mh/s

Future additions include adding 2 more cards (one for the 7th slot and hopefully at least 1 more on the m.2 slot).  I would try for a 9th card, but I heard the second m.2 slot will not hash (even though I'm going to try).  And I will be adding a couple more 1070s to the 7th rig cluster. Grin

Glad its working for you.   Smiley

I don't have any Gigabyte 1050Tis; but I imagine they are similar to the EVGA Ti SC.  I would recommend trying these settings for Ethash using genoil:

POWERLIMIT="YES"     

POWERLIMIT_WATTS=53 (or lowest)

__CORE_OVERCLOCK=-200  (or lowest)
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=1000  (then bump up until you get a softcrash)
