yeah I have a new video  it is very quiet  and does pull some juice.

give me time to post it.

Now I have a prototype unit.

I have zotac 1060 3gb gpus.
I have a celeron 3930 cpu
it came with 4gb ram I did put in 2x 8gb sticks.  why I had easy access to do it and i have the sticks.
the cpu will not get upgraded for months to come.
swapping out cards will not happen for months to come.

better psu's may happen sooner may not.

In my minds eye I see it with 10 msi 1070 itx
and 2 corsair rm1000x psus.
16gb ram
and a i5 7400t cpu.

all that can wait

this is a good piece of gear I will be trying to reduce power and tweak it with software not gear.

So using  nicehash soft ware it does 3500 sols and pulls 1500-1600 watts

I went into nicehash software menu and removed the fan control from nicehash.
I downloaded msi afterburner.
I set 59% tdp
I set 95 core plus
I set 230 ram plus
I set fans at 80%

and sols dropped 10% but  power is now 980-1020 vs 1500-1600   this means you can run on a 15 amp usa circuit  since 15 x 120 = 1800 derate to 1440 watts

and 980-1020 is way less then 1500-1600


I will post new video.  in it you will see  some lag this is due to the celeron 3930  but since you won't be using the gear as a real pc you can go low cost with the celeron.  down the road I will upgrade it but that will be a while from now.

hang on I will post video in a bit  it shows the large watts  drop

very nice on this bolded part

second  nicehash set to do only zcash and it is controlling fans

nicehash set to do only zcash and msi afterburner has been tweaked

Now I have a prototype.

So I had 4gb ram ---------- my opinion is  4gb works good with linux smos nvoc not as good when you do windows

I had the celeron ----------- 3930  my opinion it works with linux better then windows

I have 2 bronze psu's  1000 watt and 800 watt    and I have to check the psu  more closely.

If you have 2 corsair rm1000x    they have 6 jacks  for pcie or cpu.  so 6+6-1 =  11 jacks for pcie

2 headed are  22 jacks.  that  makes for 11 1070's.  I would love to see a jacked version option

but I like this one a lot.  3130 sols at 1020 watts = 3.07sols per watt at the wall.

and well under 50db  nice!
