On the picture only 2 1070?! You also mining with cpu, you know how much wattage with cpu only mining? Or the complete system?
I take picture when setting thing up, its not done yet. I tried cpu mining but miner(Claymore CryptoNote CPU Miner v3.9) report that the CPU(Xeon W3565) does not support AES-NI - slower mining! Mining IntenseCoin speed only 65 h/s for 8 core CPU  Huh, so I mining GPU only.

Not all Xeon's support the AES-NI instruction set.  You will need to upgrade that CPU for mining.

Scroll to bottom, you will see it says AES NO.

Ark should be your first stop whenever looking for intel processors for mining.  Wink

I like to use CPU World (http://www.cpu-world.com) to check on both Intel and AMD processors specs and features.

I like the family major features. The following link clearly shows that the E7-4800 family has the AES instruction and it also has links to all of the Production microprocessors which you can filter by values like number of cores:

The Detailed side-by-side comparison feature is also cool:
