Hi All

Newbie to the forums and to the world of crypto mining.

Recently started building out my mining rig and have come across some issues and hoping somebody can help.

Spec:

Asrock H110+ Pro BTC MoBo
Intel Celeron G3930 CPU
Windows 10 Pro - unregistered
2 x 4GB Corsair Value Select DDR4 Ram
Samsung 850 SSD 256gb
550w PSU - for MoBo and SSD only
2 x HP Server PSU 1200w
2 x Breakout Boards
6 x ASUS 1080ti Strix GPU

I've installed all GPU's one by one, and has been all good. Eventually it will house 8 x 1080ti and 2 x ASUS AMD RX5700xt.

All the GPU's and risers (6 GPU and 6 risers) are equally distributed among the 2 x 1200 watt server PSU. Everything boots up fine, all the GPU's are all showing on device manager and even are able to benchmark/partially start mining on NiceHash.

However after about 15 minutes of being on, it completely shuts down. Initially thought it was a power supply issue, so ensured there is nothing connected to the Mobo PSU and moved all GPU's and risers to the HP server PSU, however still no luck. The temperatures on the GPU and CPU barely reach about 50 degrees so it cant be a temp issue shut down.

Any help would be great.

Thank you
 
However, the breakout boards connected to the server PSU do have a voltage output display. Its shows 12.3 and 12.5v respectively.

No, i don't have a power meter; do you any suggestions on a good power meter?

Doesn't need to be amazing, just something that will give you a good indication of what each PSU is pulling under load. About £25 for a 2 pack from Amazon.
 
Ok great. Just ordered a couple from Amazon, should be here tomorrow. Will let you know how I get on. Thank you

Really handy to have in general, especially if you are tweaking the voltages in the cards, you be able to see the power saving realised, and record comparisons.

Are you sure it's not the default windows power saving kicking in?

You would be much better to use something line HiveOS and mine directly, really easy to setup and free for the first node regardless of how many GPU you have on it.
Linux based so no random windows updates, restarts etc to deal with.

I’ve checked the windows sleep options which are all off. Will look into HiveOs and see if it makes a difference.

Another issue is that with 6 x 1080ti it barely is mining anything at all; the hash rates are showing 0 on some of the GPU even though it shows it as mining on NiceHash. When these cards are plugged into a difference PC they work and mine with good hash rates...any ideas?
 
**Update**

I’ve started to remove GPU to see if I can solve the random shut downs.

I’ve managed to get it down to 1 GPU to mine with NiceHash and no random shut down. It’s starting to sound more and more like a power issue even though I’m using 2 x 1200w server PSU, sounds like it could be a plug issue...
 
**Update 2.0**

The power meters have arrived and plugged in. Currently have 1 plugged into the server PSU and one into the PC PSU.
With only 2 GPU plugged in, the server PSU reaches approx 280w and PC PSU reaches about 22watts before everything shuts down.

I’m now running 1 GPU, and from the same server PSU and shows 274watts whilst mining and PC PSU is showing 21.5 watts, no shutdown and seems to be mining fine.
The minute I connect an additional GPU the rig shuts down. I even tried connected 1 power supply to 1 GPU and still shuts down.

Starting to think this isn’t a power issue....

Any help would be great.
Thank you

Can you supply the full model number of the PSU's and any revision number also listed please?
 
**Update 3.0**

Tried HiveOS mining eth and it works fine. All 6 GPU’s fired up and no random shutdowns. Still would prefer to use NiceHash on windows 10. This must be an OS issue.
My version on windows has not yet been registered, could that be an issue?
