that's been my luck every time too, some day i'll get a 3060ti or a 5700xt at a reasonable price.

that's a great breakdown/comparison for card types.  i have some 8g/570 cards idle, maybe it's time to spread some more heat around the house

love this thread, my go to every day

This one is a mix of GIGABYTE Aorus RX580 8GB, and a few MSI GAMING X RX580 8GB.

Temperatures are good, I target 68C (no A/C), seems to do just fine.  The spacing between GPU's is much wider than other rigs that have been running for 18months+.

I've been weeding out the 4GB cards over time, rebuilding rigs and cleaning up/servicing GPU fans along the way

I just built a rig with one of those.  The gpu's don't have good/solid bottom support, as they "rest" on the rail.

I'm going to add velcro under the riser cards along the rail so they can't float/move.

Also - a regular box fan would probably work just as well vs having all of those fans connected.

Try changing the line:
         "algorithm": "ethash",
to
         "algorithm": "ethash-new",

I've seen this before - when I mixed cables from different brands of PSU's.  The click is the give-away, it's preventing starting up due to a short.

I'd plug one card direct into the pci-e 16x slot, and try a PSU/cable combo that's known to go together.

(I tried mixing EVGA cables with a Rosewill PSU, same result, connectors are the same, pinouts at the PSU end are different).

That's crafty - I'll try that out.  I have the same problem with a gigabyte 580 gaming card. The rear fan started to wobble, then screech for a few days then seized up.

For your next setup check out the cyberpower pdu's. The SNMP data is more detailed, and doesn't require an applet (and whacky browser settings) to control it. It has a clean web interface you can get to easily.

It outputs per-bank load so you can balance easier, vs the single reading from the tripplite. It some other data too that's neat to see (power consumed since startup, resettable), like this:

CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusLoad.1 = Gauge32: 158 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusLoad.2 = Gauge32: 81 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusLoad.3 = Gauge32: 77 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusVoltage.1 = INTEGER: 2378 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusVoltage.2 = INTEGER: 2378 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusVoltage.3 = INTEGER: 2378 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusActivePower.1 = INTEGER: 3630 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusActivePower.2 = INTEGER: 1863 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusActivePower.3 = INTEGER: 1767 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusApparentPower.1 = INTEGER: 3755 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusPowerFactor.1 = INTEGER: 96 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusEnergy.1 = INTEGER: 240261 CPS-MIB::ePDULoadStatusEnergyStartTime.1 = STRING: "2017/06/13 07:46:47" CPS-MIB::ePDUStatusInputVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 2378 CPS-MIB::ePDUStatusInputFrequency.0 = INTEGER: 600

I have the same tripplite you posted, and also have one of these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812220107&cm_re=CyberPower_PDU30MVHVT24FNET-_-12-220-107-_-Product

The only way I too see if a bank is overloaded on the tripplite is to wait until it pops the breaker for the bank (It happened to me... dual mining testing)

For my next build I'll use one of these instead, it has per-port on/off plus the good snmp output:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA91J4344133&cm_re=CyberPower_PDU30SWHVT16FNET-_-9SIA91J4344133-_-Product

I'm tempted to add the environmental sensor to it too, there's a block of snmp data for that also.

I'm sure there's other PDU's way better than the cyberpower ones, but for the price and features, I like them.

Awesome mining cave btw
