hiveos is very simple, you won't have to deal with any of these windows headaches..... get HiveOs it's free, x10 times better than Windows crap, I installed HiveOs 1 month ago and I'd never look back at Windows, ever!

It's just the regular ATX Psu, but for some reason it's quieter than the previous one, no 2 speeds.

Would you guys ever consider joining the ASIC war against BITMAIN? has that ever crossed your mind? we need a competitor for bitmain as it seems like GPU mining is damned. We were just having a conversation with one of the ZenCash admins about forking off equihash as their difficulty increased insanely recently and it's kinda obvious there's ASICs mining ZenCash....

I gave them the Monero example, they forked and their difficulty dropped like 75%, it was obvious bitmain is pre mining their asics before shipping them, look at the answer Blockops gave me, one of their admins:

Give the monero and other GPU mined cryptocurrency hashrates a week or two to see what it normalizes to. Big GPU operations would just switch away from monero while there is a fork, then it takes them time to get their mining software updated to the new fork software, then they get back onto mining it.

It is not obvious that there are ASICs mining ZenCash. It is more probable that GPU miners switched away from the Monero drama, and after they get their updates done, things will settle out.

There are also going to be, if there are not already, miners that are FPGA with external memory for algorithms like Ethash and Equihash. The FPGA's would be able to be reconfigured after a fork to match the new algorithm.

The Ravencoin algorithm, X16r, uses 16 different algorithms in different order every block. Even that can be turned into an ASIC by using something similar to a Bitmain D3, and provide a connection to each of the 16 algorithms, then use a controller board to route the solutions in and out of the 16 algorithms.

Developers tend to underestimate ASIC and FPGA designers. It's not as simple as it seems, to just call for forking the algorithm when the hashrate gets higher than people like.
Hashrate can be a leading indicator. It means miners are willing to pay more for mining a cryptocurrency because they expect the price to go up in the future.

/////////////////////////////////////////

it seems like big miners are aware that GPU mining will eventually disappear since we can't really do anything about ASICs, this are very smart people and they are aware of the situation, the only way the game will be fair is if bitmain gets aggresive competition, otherwise, in my humble opinion crypto is useless, centralized coins? I might aswell go buy USD$ and Euros.

What's your take on this? would you ever consider this?

Got to say that octominers customer service is great, my PSU died, I spoke to them on the chat and then an quick email stating the psu had died, they sent me the new psu after a few days, you don't get this kind of support in many places, because of this, I will continue to buy octominer products.

Btw octominer did you change anything on the new atx psus? this one is quieter than the last one which seemed to be running at full blast 100% of the time

Instead of...?

That looks like it. Now to figure out some measurements! awesome find thx.

I was thinking of asking the same thing.

it depends on which 1080 tis you are talking about. I have 6 1070 zotac minis and 2 1080 ti aus strix oc.

I have to run the fans on the 1080s at 70% and they stay under 70c. Running no external fans, but I do have a few extra case fans I might start running to lower the gpu fan RPMS.

I could not figure it out, I had to do a clean OS install, blocked all windows updates and it worked.

It sometimes beeps 5 times when I restart it but now it does boot (we were troubleshooting by chat yesterday) to get it to boot i just kept restarting the mobo several times, there probably was some sort of software bios glitch or who knows, but got sorted out flashing bios a few times and restarting the system a few times.

I finally got it to work! reinstalled windows 10, disabled updates, changed a bunch of things windows settings and now i have x6 1070's. running,  a bit toasty at 65 C... I will keep moving that down, 65 is too hot I think.

OC:

Power Limit: 79
core clock +114
memory clock +650

Has been stable for 2 hours.

Did you figure it out? you have to "jump start" the psu. Google PSU JUMP it is easy and tons of youtube videos on how to do it.

Yes I did. I just hooked up my 6th gpu and it ran, very slow, in the desktop i can move the mouse but I cant open anything. I try Start, and it does nt open, i try nice hash, and it loads for a bit and closes itself... weird. i pressed cntrl alt delete and gave me an error: failure to display security and shut down options. the sign in process couldnt display security and sign in options when ctrl alt delete was pressed. if windows doesnt respond, press Esc or use the power switch to restart....

Guys I am having issues connecting 5+ gpus.

I have their mobo, 128 ssd, 8 gb ram and their ATX PSU. For some reason windows is giving me a freaking hard time getting more than 4 GPUS STABLE, 5 gpus and windows gets choppy, 6 and it wont even load. Suggestions?
 
I have been installing one by one, turning the rig on, off, next gpu, on, off, and does not work. I change them slots, connectors, not sure what is going on here. any ideas would be appreciated. THANKS.!

Good to know!

Well, I just received my PSU, paid 32$ tax on it charged by the DHL guy, ouch. Still waiting on the MOBO, ssd and ram.

Hey good to hear, let us know how it goes when u put it all together and send some pics!

Hey Octominer, thx for the update. Quick question; my orders still show as "Processing" on your website, doesn't that update automatically? Thanks!

Processed and shippped? Mmhm mine still says "Processing".

Good to hear there are some people who already received their packages!! Those who already have  their MOBOS please send pics with GPUS installed and say what model/brand is installed!! I am getting excited!!

Hey guys, please update here if you have received any tracking numbers from octominer, I have not  received anything yet and I placed my order on   Jan 28th...

how much are they making a day$? in the last 2 days? thanks! got someone selling one for  3k, is it worth it?
