Hello there!

I am looking to build Ubuntu 16.04 with (3) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's for starters (plan to add one more) to mine ZCash using EWBF Miner.

I have already performed the following with little success:

     Asus Prime P270-P  Motherboard
     1350Watt PSU   
     16GB RAM
     240GB SSD
     Base Ubuntu Server build
     installed CUDA 9.0 as per instructions here-=> https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
     installed 1080ti drivers from NVidia version 384 (latest long term release)
     installed EWBF Miner 0.34b


Once I installed CUDA 9.0 the following command did *not* work:

     nvcc --version

it recommended i install "sudo apt-get install cuda-toolkit" of which installed version 7.5

     nvcc --version *did* work

However when running the actual EWBF Miner the GPU temp would be zero and the miner would freeze up.

Does anyone have a fail-safe guide or step by step to use in order to get the a succesfull Ubunut miner?

I have have plenty of issues with Windows and was hoping to get a plain vanilla Ubuntu minig build.

Thank you in advance!
