Re: [FS] Drop-in bracket to mount 7 GPUs at the front of a Rosewill server chassis

Delta FFB1212EH-F00 is what I use in 4 of mine, work great.
Speed: 4000 RPM, Noise Level: 56.4 dBA (max. 60.4 dBA), Air Flow: 150.33 CFM, 12.43 mmH2O, 0.489 inH2O

Note: Some of these fans come bare wire style and you have to crimp your own ends on. I found a really good price of them elsewhere only to learn after I ordered 12 of them that they were bare wire.





Yeah Delta makes some pretty good server power supplies, so I'm sure they have the same manufacturing tolerances for their fans.

Quietness was a big thing for me which is why I went with the Noctua fans. Can't complain about the six year warranty either.

I'm stuffing 1080Ti's in my Rosewill case.  These to be exact:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y11DFZ3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hopefully I will be able to shoehorn them in there.  I also really want to flow to be front to back to match everything else in my rack as aesthetics are important to me.  I'm thinking if I limit myself to 4 1080Ti's, I'll be ok.  What do you guys think?

Here's the rack it will be going in that is busy doing Burst mining already.   Grin

You need to replace the fans. The original fans are extremely weak, and are probably the worst 120mm fans I've ever seen. But yeah, you're going to need some serious CFM if you want the traditional front-to-back setup to work.

The three front 120mm's need to be high static fans since it's being met with the resistance of the front grill, dust filter, and of course your graphics cards. Those two 80mm puppies in the back have to be high CFM to equally exhaust the front fan's intake (minus PSU exhaust). Any less, and it starts becoming a hotbox.

I have NF-F12s for my 120mm, and NF-A8s for my 80mm. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, use these for the 80mm fans.

I'll let you know how well my setup works when I get my bracket...

Re: ASUS Mining-P106 Cards - Group Buy #1
by
poisson
on 10/07/2017, 19:57:44 UTC
P106 models are 6GB, and use the chipset from 1060, it is better for mining. The tdp is prety ok, about 100W

lol there is no "chipset" on a graphics cards. Maybe you're referring to a motherboard? The GPU's are the exact same, the only difference being the 6 GB has a few more GDDR5 modules soldered on.

That being said, it's clear there's some sort of price discrimination (in addition to inflated prices) if ASUS is shelling them out for $300 a pop. They know their market segment consists of financially secure, middle-aged men, who had not the slightest idea on what these "graphics cards" were up until yesterday. They know y'all will suck them up faster than a plate of crab legs at your daughters high school graduation party. The fact of the matter is, production of GPUs probably hasn't increased that much because they know investing in fixed, long-term production equipment for an outdated manufacturing process would depend almost entirely on the unstable cryptocurrency market. What's even more funny, is that these so-called "mining" cards are really just half assed graphics cards that will have 0 warrenty, and limited appeal to gamers when they're put up on the secondary market. Meaning -- less pricing competition for them in the future.

Microcenter, but they limit two per household. Also, most of their prices for Nvidia cards have gone up a bit too.

If I use -asm 2 -dcri 65, my reported hashrate increases slightly but my effective hashrate is incredibly sporadic.

Any reason for this?

nvidia bios are encrypted.  Good luck modifying them.

Not like it matters, its super easy to get 30 mhs out of a 1070 anyway. Just increase mem clock to like +700 or whatever the card can handle. So much easier than trash AMD cards.

Thank you based Nvidia.

I would hope so if I paid almost twice the price of a 570. Sounds like you're trying to justify your purchase because all the AMD cards were out of stock. Or you couldn't figure out how to flash a bios and get 29 Mh/s stable.

Re: Excpected Vega hashrate

Everyone, please do your research before spreading misinformation.

The Vega FE (Frontier Edition) can be used for both workstation and gaming purposes. Unlike Nvidia who released their top-tier Pascal chip (Titan Xp with all compute units enabled) towards the end of 10xx series, AMD released their top-tier card right off the bat. The Vega FE we see today, is the best we can currently expect from the RX Vega that is to be released later on. It's essentially downhill from here on out since we have cream of the crop with Vega FE. Like the Titan Xp, these cards are more meant for the enthusiast market which is why prices start at $1000.

Wait for the drivers to solidify these coming weeks, then form your opinions. AMD already offers different drivers depending your daily use (compute, gaming, professional, etc) for Vega.

The real workstation cards are the FirePro/Quadro series that use actual certified drivers and DP

Re: Ethereum Mining OS

Biggest problem with ethOS is the lack of ability to modify voltages. Wolf0 made a tool for this, but he charges a few $$$ for it last time I heard.

There's a voltage feature in ethOS, but it's been in *experimental* since day 1 it seems and only works with non-RX cards.

I made a strap for my 570 Red Devils 4GB all running on Hynix. Was able get a solid 29.3 Mh/s on each card, with an aggregate hashrate of ~175 Mh/s, with ~890w.

1050 core, 2000 mem.

Quite disappointing from the P106-6G results I've seen. I was hoping there'd be some sort of custom bios for the AIB partners with faster timings--especially at this MSRP.

As much as I dislike gpushack, what you received still fits the description and I don't think you're entitled to a refund.

However, you still have a right to review a shitty product as a consumer. I see a bunch of people on this thread riding gpushacks dick to validate their seemingly unrealized overpriced bundle purchase. I'm not sure who in their right mind would drop $360 when all could be had for <$200.

8 pin power cable splitter

https://www.amazon.com/PCI-Express-Video-Y-Splitter-Adapter-Supply/dp/B00A3OVG4W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Would this work for a GPU/PCIe riser?

Also, would it matter having those two ground cables on the 8 pin connector? I know you can get the cheaper 6 pin splitters for around ~$4.

Re: So is anyone else selling their RX series gpu's with the crazy high prices?
by

on 16/06/2017, 05:24:04 UTC
No.

You try and sell on eBay and you might get a chargeback due to Paypal protection.

You try and sell it locally like that and who knows... might get robbed or might get into some low-balling people who just waste your time...


No idea why you would even sell at a time like this since by selling you would lose more money than selling it at a huge markup right now.

I won't go to the beach because I might get skin cancer and die.

You're paying for 16GB of vram which is overkill for mining. I suspect the gaming cards will be more economically viable with <10GB of vram.
