It's been a tough week, but finally we got all 24x GTX 1060s up and running on our Linux set up!
"Our first project under Hash Courier name (our wanna-be-company) that we've build together with my friend and Co-founder of Hash Courier mining services - David."
HARDWARE SPECS:
- Mobo: Asus Prime Z270-A
- Procesor: Intel Pentium G4400 (I know - celeron is cheaper, but hey, I got these with 20% discount...)
- GPUs: 8x EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 (on each miner)
- Memory: Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR4 single
- PSUs: 2x Corsair HX750 (on each miner)
- SSD: Western Digital 120GB green
- Additional fans: 3x-4x Corsair AF140mm (on each miner)
It did not start very well at the beginning....
We still had to wait for our risers and additional Add2PSU + M.2 to PCI-e adapter that were all shipped from USA
We decided to start with our shelf, which probably was the easiest part... :D
Then we moved on to 3x builds...
After connecting more than 3 of the GPUs on each cards we encountered the stability problems which forced us to switch from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 16.04 (my natural habitat, hohoho)...
And after like 5 days of testing benchmarking and patching we finally managed to run all 8 GPUs on each rig!
We decided to go for Zencash mining via zenmine.pro pool - around 7000h/s gives us a solid 30$
We are looking forward to essembling more mining rig in the future (once we get some ROI back :D), stay tuned for more cool mining rig builds!
What were the prices for 1060s? They are really hard to get so im kinda surprised how you got 24x of them.

I got them from wholesales in a specialized shop - I was lucky my friend's father works with computes so I bought them with 15% sale All 3 rigs costed around 3000$ each so that makes 9000$ plus Monitor, keyboard, mouse and some cabels... :)

Hi, im builing a rig with this gpus but im having trouble with my mobo detectinf this cards.
I currently have a gigabyte 990fx gaming g1 when i connect this gtx 1060 with my powered usb risers they are not detected but if i use older gpus they get detected! Im using a evga 1600 g2 so power is not problem.
Do you have a recomendation for workinf with this cards?

It might be a problem of the GPU drivers - if you're running Windows 10 uninstall all the drivers and install them via device manager, also make sure your virtual memory is on 16GB. I hope that will help :)

Im running it with ubuntu 16.04 latest drivers available, y have 3 other gtx 1060 different manufacturers only the pny one is not detected with risres i have a box with 10 more risers so risers is not the problem. I have other gpus and tested and they got detected just the pny is not. I will change this card for an asus or gigabyte for further testing thank you!

Nice setup. But I've got a question. How do you get to use 8 GPU in only one MoBo? I know some motherboards have up to 4 PCI-E slots, but... 8?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

hey @jfuenmayor96 :) thanks for asking! I am runnnig an ASUS Prime Z270-A motherboard that has 7 PCI-e slots and in addition to that 2 M.2 slots that can be used as a small PCI-e slot if you find the right adapter to it. That means I can even run 9 cards on that mobo, but because of the lack of wattage from my PSUs and because of the sake of stability I only run 8 cards :)

Be careful with the EVGA FTW cards, some have had issues with cooling the VRM, my guess is yours not affected, but you might want to check up on it and reach out to EVGA if there is any issues and have them send some thermal pads!
