Is anyone using 8GB to mine this coin using 5 or 6 GPUs?

Just for your info, I do have two rigs, each running 5 x 1080 Tis and both Ryzen 1700 and Ryzen 1600 (stock clock speeds) run fine. But both rigs are using 16GB RAM.

got an 8 card 1080ti rig and an 8 card 1070ti rig both using 8GB and running excellent.  got virtual mem space set to 60GB

Good to know, thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to ask - which CPUs?
i7 8700's, but it only uses 1 thread per GPU

Does hyperthreading count? Or only # of cores?

Well of the 12 threads, 8 of them are 100% and the other 4 are 25-60%. Some of the other guys here are doing 8 card rigs with 4 core i7's and doing good.  So hyperthreading counts.  Not sure if 8 physical cores would make a difference.  Although I get the same hash per card when using 1 card vs 8, so probably not.

Even on my Ryzen 1600 machine (a 6 core CPU), it's utilization is below 40%... I guess any of the higher end CPUs will do the job...
