Ick nicehash down

Rosewill is a house brand, that has power supplies manufactured by a few companies for them. A questionable one gave them a bad name years ago, but find the right product/ manufacture and you're good to go.

XFX power supplies are also Seasonic FWIW

I highly not recommend using a cheap generic part for a system-critical one. Use good/great quality components in critical spots, such as PSUs.

Rosewill is nothing more than a sticker brand. They don't make anything at all. Some Rosewill products are actually good quality name brand ones with a rosewill sticker on it. I know this because that's what we did at OCZ Tech. Many of those products had great reviews. THe hilarious ones were when people compared the same product with and without the sticker and somehow came to the conclusion that the more expensive OCZ one was better.

While yes most of rosewill stuff is trash. Not all of it is.

Yeah, that's a good one - you running it on 240v or 120v?

And you have to love that they named it after a fusion reactor "variant".

120 for now, probably will switch over to 240 in the next couple of months
 
Almost nothing. Maybe a dollar or two worth of BTC per day, which may be less than the cost of the power it consumes.

You'd have a lot of trouble with the minimum payout limits that most pools, including Nicehash, impose trying to mine with just one CPU.

if using NH though, it just contributes to your earnings you are already earning.

Here's what two Titan xp's are capable of when the crappy cooler is removed and you put water blocks on
 
Very nice ! How much power is it sucking down with the setting like that ?

Two Titan Xp's that'll be 520watts. Thats my next task, optimizing for power usage. Not to concerned with the actual amount of power they consume ($0.06kw/h here), they still put out a shit ton of heat into the room.

To calculate A/C cooling costs if you don't use like force fan ventilation of the room:

1/3 X heat discharged into your room. (520w + monitor + cpu) X 1/3. A typical air conditioner will use about 1/3 the amount of energy for the heat/energy being removed.

Virtually all the power your computer and peripherals consume will be converted into heat so if that adds up to 1000w you will use about 333w to remove that heat if using an air conditioner. At $.06kw/h that is outstanding.
 
Just going by memory from a few days ago when I was messing with Neoscrypt,
I think my Titan X Pascal on crappy original air was doing better than half that.
Using KlausT's CCMINER 818. I suspect Nicehash rolls out Tuprov's 223, which
may be where you are losing some hashrate. Most NVIDIAs hash even better
on Paglin's hsrminer-neoscrypt. Runs great on 1060 and 1050ti, but TXPas and
1030 won't initialize. At least for Titans, that bug has multiple confimations in the
official thread. I may be the only one crazy desperate enough to attempt 1030s.
 
They announced their repayment plan.

10% back on feb 2. The rest to be scheduled and be paid back at a future date.

The gotcha might be that they appear to have a minimum of .01 if mined to an external wallet. They said if you didn't have .01 yet you could mine to get it to .01 and they'd pay you back 10%.
That doesn't make much sense. So say you had .0075 in your external wallet addy. You have to mine .0025 to get to .01 and then they pay you .001? So you still have .009 in there? That's worse!


I had like .035 in mine - so that won't immediately affect me, but at some point it will affect me as they pay of 10% at a time. I'd assume that anything less than .01 isn't really going to be repaid, unless you still actively use that pre-hack external wallet address.
 
I think you need .01 BTC to start the "repayment program", once started you don't need to mine anymore.

So this is going to take the whole year with last payment in Nov. And what about tx fees? seems tx fees alone will eat up half of a .01 balance.

ps. if you click on your repayment program button for your external wallet it has a disclaimer saying that paying you isn't an admission of liability for the hack. ahahahaha

pps. also I had mined a few pennies to the external wallet address after the hack to make sure it was still active in case of any shenanigans...and its gone. not worth my time even asking them why.

edit: ppps, so given repayment plan question is are/have they reduced mining rewards by 10% to pay for the repayment program? basically their clients are mining to repay themselves. who knew they ran such a hand-to-mouth operation!

If the last statement is accurate, then that blows - hardcore.
 
ok, so well past payout date and no payout for external wallet. I had .012 btc in external wallet waiting for the next payout before "hack" happened. now I have .0012 pending and rest in wallet.

I guess they hold external pending payout till it reaches .01 btc threshold. So really "hacked" external wallets are held hostage to the rest of the repayment program schedule which they have given no comment or hint at other than it will be fully repaid. Though I expect there will be some fraction left over that never gets paid due to payout percentages and payout limits (like .002 btc) and I have no intention of mining to NH external wallet again.

The longer NH keeps this going the longer this is just a reminder not to use them.
 
Yea i am a little put out by how they are doing the payouts. It almost seems like they have
very limited funds to run on right now. Having to do all sorts of backflips and what not to pay peeps
back.

Ill stick with them for the time being. At least they are trying to do the right thing.
 
They should have a bunch of money to pay for this, that they don't doesn't inspire confidence at all.
Will not be dealing with nicehash again, don't know why anyone would at this point.
 
not sure how many of you are using cases/enclosures, but I have a few rosewill 4500s and if you have them too you know the fans that come with them are USELESS. I bought some of these and can say they are the best fans you will find for $6, and probably the best under $15.

https://www.amazon.com/Bgears-b-Bla...8&qid=1518197076&sr=8-2&keywords=bgears+120mm

I just installed 3 of them but ordered another 9 so I can have 6 in each case. I am running some tests now but will let you know the difference I see in GPU temps after I get the rig back up to 100%. Even with 6 of the rosewill fans, putting your hand in front of the case netted a light breeze, if that. Having 3 of the bgears + 3 rosewills (pending replacement) you actually feel air flow coming out of the case.

I was going to buy the 200cfm version for $15 when they jumped to $20 on amazon, and said what the hell, I'll try the cheaper ones. Glad I did.

^ How do those fans compare to Delta's?

Not as good as deltas IMO. But if you don't have deltas already, I think they're a good alternative.
 
Well if they're half as good as Delta's for 1/4 the price, sounds like a win - I'll try some. I can't really stomach paying $20/ea for 120mm fans, especially when I need 10-20 of them.

I'm rebenchmarking my mining software, but once it's done, I will post up the temp differences the fans made, but so far, all my cards are down 2-5C, and all of them are peaking under 70c.

audible, but with the gpu fans running they aren't too bad. Kind of hard to say, but I would say they are medium loudness as far as 120mm fans go. Some of the GPUs I have running are definitely louder.
 
The 4U Rosewill route 100% requires strong air flow out. I've got Typhoons in the front of mine. The first thing that went were those stock fans. Talk about crap!

I have also noticed that with a little bit more intake airflow near the back of the case, GPU temps can be lowered just a little bit more.

are you running the middle 3x 120mm bracket?
 
gtx
980 went from 66c to 63c
970 from 62c to 62c
1060 from 66c to 65c
970 from 65c to 63c
980ti from 73c to 69c (73c was at 65% power, 69c at 80%)
980 from 70c to 69c

and boost clocks all higher (notably, 980ti went from 1000mhz to 1230mhz)

Here is the grille model I am going to install. Probably on the lid, near the back.

I was able to get the middle fan holder in by moving it over the motherboard slightly

I do have 2 cards in my boards, then either 6 or 7 up on the risers. It's a VERY tight fit on them because of the size of some of the cards. The MSI Titanium Gaming X cards are huge, as well as some of the EVGA ones. The Gigabyte Windforce cards are also very long.

That being said, i enjoy seeing success stories with these 4U Rosewills. Lots of folks say it isn't possible, but it is!

yeah, I think I am limited to 12" cards, so the 13" variants won't fit.
