Ok I finally managed to put my one 1080ti card rig together at the weekend and kicked it off on SniffDog for simplicity while I look for other potential better options. It's only mining skein and nist5 at the mo even though I put a bigger list of algos in the startsniffin file. It didn't seem to benchmark the others for some reason. Anyway I'm in the game now and trying to talk the wife into letting me buy more cards! ;-)

As I only had one card I just plugged it into the mobo. Is this ok? Heat doesn't seem to be a problem as it's running at about 68 degrees. If I want to add another card I use risers? Anyone got a link to where to get them from? My mobo can support 6 x GPUs and the PSU is a 1200W one so good for another card or two.

Thanks

Zpool was down for most of Saturday - which meant any algo that attempted to benchmark against zpool will have benchmarked at 0 because it couldn't connect. It happened to me. I had to delete the benchmark files and run the miner again to benchmark properly when zpool came back online

I had 1080ti above a 980 direct on mobo in a closed case, there was basically no clearance between them, air flow sucked and they both overheated. The ti's are quite fat, should use risers if you have more than one or have at least 2-3cm clearance between cards.
Most i've seen the ti draw was 300w, I bet you can run 4-5 ti's on 1200w psu.

Ideally you want your PSU to only draw around 60-75% of it's power rating. So say around a target of 800w for a 1200w PSU. Normally you'll be pulling around 60-70w before any GPU, so you could probably run 3 Ti's with minimal power restriction fine. But you wouldn't reasonably be able to run 4 in my opinion unless you capped them to about 75% TDP or less.
