Well I had to give the 4 gig's back to my daughter since one of her games is a ram hog.

So I put the 2 gigs back in and fired up afterburner and configured it then started xmrig-nvidia and then shut down afterburner.

Now its using 1.6 gigs of ram instead of 1.9 and all the settings stuck even after I shut afterburner down.

I'll let it run a while to see what happens.

I have a few of these running now, all with 6-8 X Nvidia 1080ti's in either founders or turbo style cards so I can manage airflow.

Some of them are setup with airflow from front to back, and others reversed, and whichever way I run them temps are easily under control at 70% fan speed.

I'm using the following components:

  • Delta 2400W PSU with 2 x breakout boards
  • Pico PSU to power motherboard 24 pin, 8 pin EPS and SATA
  • Supermicro X9SRL-F so I can have IPMI to the DC!
  • Xeon E5-1603 because they are ~$9 on ebay!
  • Supermicro SNK-P0048AP4 2U HSF as it's only 65mm high
  • 8gb DDR3 ECC stick
  • Any old 120gb SSD I can find
  • Version 008C risers with direct 6-pin pcie power
  • 3 x Scythe DFS123812H-3000 ULTRA KAZE 120mm
  • A sawzall blade for cable management :)
  • 1" square aluminum tube to rest risers/fans on
  • right angle aluminium for cards and as PSU support
The cables look pretty messy in this picture but I tidied them up and zip tied them :)

Do you use a Pico power supply for the motherboard?

I did not think of using that power supply, I was tempted to use a HP 1500 watt plus a Pico ps but I just did not need that much power with the 1060's

Oops. Forgot that important detail :)

Pico psu uses 1 x pcie power plug and powers motherboard 24 pin and 4/8 pin EPS, as well as the sata power for the SSD.

I really need to find some more delta 2400W PSU’s if anyone has a source

Otherwise I’m going to have to do dual HP 1200’s or the big IBM 2000+ units, but they’re both a bit more awkward to mount

Been running ~48 hours with zero issues.

I will swap out the one oddball cpu cooler fan I used as an exhaust fan as its just too loud, I have a fan speed reducer that came with the 120mm fans that I plugged in as a test and its much much quieter and only a couple of degrees higher temps.

Wow. Ran the numbers on this build at current prices and such using whattomine.com you’re at a 18k/year run rate.

Grave digging here. Has anyone found none consumer focused fan? I ended up buying the L4500 and getting an extrusion kit from a person off the forums. However I am finding the 8 fans that come with the L4500 to be very very weak.

And spending $10 a fan for a 2000 rpm 120mm / 80mm is a bit crazy.

AFB1212SHE-PWM

3700rpm goodness. :)

They're pwm controlled, so they can get quiet.

I also have the 4500 with the spotswood kit. The 38mm fans fit fine, but they have to go on during construction of the kit.

Any shots you took with how they look? I do have a PWM controller - do you just pass 12v to a controller - or do you run them off PWM on the mobo + 12v dedicated?

Oh my - $20 a fan, can't seem to find these used apart from chinese listings. Almost cheaper to just keep this on the bottom of the rack with the top off.

I have a lot of the 3000rpm Scythe Ultra Kaze 120mm Case Fans, and they have been rock solid so far.
Not a lot cheaper but they can be found at $10-14 :)

My hodgepodge of nvidia cards mines Zcash @ 1800 sols/s, driven by an X9SRL with 2680v2 onboard (also mining XMR @ 600h/s). 4gb memory, an SSD, and a Supermicro PWS-1K25P-PQ power supply round out the package. This system draws 1150w from the wall @120v with Delta fans front and rear at full tilt.

Too loud to be in the same room with comfortably, but this will be going to colo shortly. :)

I have the front fans driven using these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DV1Z0WC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The wires are scary thin, but they don't feel hot with the fans at 100% so I'm cautiously optimistic. I was trying to set Ubuntu server for a constant 70-80%, but eventually gave up and set to full speed from IPMI.

I took the plastic holder for the filter and filter completely off, now I have plenty of airflow with the door shut and you wont have to worry about losing a finger. LOL
