If you’re doing 3060ti, you can get them down to around 120-125w each, so 8 of them would be about 1000w… so either dual psu or single doesn’t really matter, but if you go with dual make sure you get that cable to connect them together.
I have a founders edition that gets about 60mh/s at 120w. However, the brand really doesn’t matter, they’re all about the same hashrate. There’s a ton of videos on YouTube with different brands being tested, and they are literally all within the same range.
I use the Biostar motherboard and as it’s a B250, you can use 2400mhz memory with XMP profile. H110 motherboards can use the same memory but without XMP it will run at 2100 mhz.
I like EVGA power supplies because I like the connections on their modular supplies. Seasonic is one of the best and most are made by the same vendor anyways. 1000 watts on a 1300 watt P.S is perfect.
-gser 2 command in Phoenix miner batch file will start the gpu’s separately to keep power levels low while starting up. Starting all GPU’s at the same time causes a temporary surge in power you should avoid.
Great machine,
What processor and memories are you using?
Did you need to make that XMP profile mentioned above by @Dollyshunk?
What software are you using to mine ETH? And configs?
Grande máquina,
Que processador e memórias é que estás a utilizar?
Tiveste que fazer aquele perfil XMP mencionado pelo @Dollyshunk?
Que programa estás a utilizar para minerar ETH? E configurações?
Rott1w4: You asked about a command in the batch file and I noticed you set compute mode for your AMD cards. The readme file in phoenix miner folder is a good source of information, and it accepts Claymore commands . I think you’ll like these:
Mining options
-amd
Use only AMD cards
-acm
Turn on AMD compute mode on the supported GPUs. This is equivalent
of pressing “y” in the miner console.
-mi
Set the mining intensity (0 to 14; 12 is the default for new
kernels). You may specify this option per-GPU.
-gser
Serializing DAG creation on multiple GPUs (0 - no serializing, all
GPUs generate the DAG simultaneously, this is the default; 1 -
partial overlap of DAG generation on each GPU; 2 - no overlap (each
GPU waits until the previous one has finished generating the DAG);
3-10 - from 1 to 8 seconds delay after each GPU DAG generation
before the next one) I use -gser 2
-rmode
Selects the restart mode when a GPU crashes or freezes: :0:
disabled - miner will shut down instead of restarting :1: restart
with the same command line options - this is the default :2: reboot
(shut down miner and execute “reboot.bat”) I use -rmode 2 as I get a random gpu failure when pushing the gpu’s and it may take 12 hours before a gpu crashes. I want a reboot and have a shortcut to the batch file in the startup folder so it boots with windows and select start with windows in MSI afterburner with the padlock open to get the windows icon lit. That way both afterburner and phoenix miner restart on any gpu failure. Will use same settings.
I can lower my settings a touch and never get a reboot, but I like to push the cards a bit and a reboot doesn’t take long.
