Because of supply shortages of AMD graphic cards i decided to setup an 6 GPU Nvidia Mining Rig for Etherum and ZenCash Mining.
Bill of Materials:
Motherboard – Asus Strix B250F Gaming
CPU – Intel Pentium G4400
RAM – 8GB Curcial 2133 MHz
SSD – SanDisk 120 GB
PSU – Coirsair HX1000i
GPU – 6x Asus Geforce GTX 1070 Dual OC
GPU Riser – 6x ELEGIANT
Rig Frame – DIY Frame

sudo nvidia-smi -i 3 -pl 110
sudo nvidia-smi -i 4 -pl 110
sudo nvidia-smi -i 5 -pl 110Powertune doesn’t work very well on my system, so i decided to reduce power consumption by setting GPU watt limit to 110 watts with nivida-smi command. This is only needed if you want to save power or use a 1000 Watt PSU.

Do you know how to add MORE GPUs to my existing alienware? I have two GPUs attached already
are you able to get the individual setting adjustments to work? or just the globals?
on nvidia chipset,
for ethash mem speed what matters,
for equihash only core speed what matters.
