Good to know. I have some EVGA FTW2 1070ti's coming on Friday ... (Hopefully) ... They are supposed to ship today. I had some ZOTAC's on backorder and ended up cancelling those. This will be my first NVIDIA rig build.
hopefully they rock! Our FTW2s have been our best 1070 TI, much better than the recent zotac 1070 TI mini's -- the ftw2 hashing 30-35 sols more w/ the same settings. The original zotac 1070 TI bought for testing performed well too though . . i sold that one xD
Hey Vosk,
I have my power down to 160W per card. That's total power at the wall 960W divided by 6. Power limit is set at 70%. Core clock +200 and memory clock +700 on these FTW2's. Averaging 525 sol/s per card. When power was at 180W (80% limit in afterburner), I was getting a few more sol/s on each card. I've never overclocked a gpu in my life, so this is making me slightly nervous ... Lol. I'm not sure if I should keep going or not. What do you have your FTW2's at?
Another question ... 3 of my FTW2's only have one fan running and I'm not sure why. Any ideas? I have my fan speed set to 80% in afterburner. It's the back fan that's not running on all 3.
And there's more ...
I just set my fan speed to auto, and then back to 80% ... Now the only card with the back fan not running is the card on the end of my open air frame. 60 seconds later ... I have 3 back fans not running, but they aren't the same 3 cards as the first time. Lol ... This is weird. Do they not run constantly? They'll just turn on when a certain temp is hit?
My FTW2 Hold about 500-505 Sol's each at +200 core and +750 mem. Watts are 110 per card, fan set minimum 50%, and target temp of 70C. They stay around 60-65C.
Also, I'm pretty sure only one fan will run if temp is not high enough to justify both running. Right now my three are siting at 59C 62C and 60C, only one has the second fan running. My guess is that it's the one at 62C. And as I type this my middle ones second fan kicked on. So don't worry about the fan not working if you have one working.
EDIT: I would try to get down to a lower watt setting. While an extra 25 Sol/s per card seems nice, it's only netting about .10 more a day after power consumption, .25 before.
