Personally I'm just building out mine with 8TB drives until I can spend a stupid amount of money on giant sata SSD, for the media storage only really need a tiny amount of endurance, but want to shove like 100TB in a SFF.
Interesting, I think theres some at stock in my local store, I was gonna swing by and pick up an order anyway, I'll go in store and see if it still has the hero sensor logo on the box.
What do you mean by this? Its the same sku and model as the one with the hero sensor.
I have one with a pickup label from 10/22/2020 with the same info on it and the hero sensor logo in the top right corner.
Or do you mean they changed manuf and its no longer made with the hero sensor?
They only do it once though, thats how I got my 3070 I got a notify in like February and completely missed it as it went to my spam.
They had pitty on me still and let me get it 2 months later in March, they rock (I have since whitelisted them and got a 3070ti from the queue and my wife got the...
Nice, I'm way too cheap to go U.2 yet, my stuff is all media pretty much so very little needs anything fast and the stuff that does? I've got 512gb of ramdisk available :D .
I'm still rolling the X10 with the V4 xeons but it works well for what I'm doing.
OOoo what case is that? looks bigger than the antec twelve hundreds im using right now and I need an extra bay
I got a quad set of some HGST SAS SSD which I had the same issue they were 15mm thick boi's and ran HOT AF (50-60c with no airflow just sitting in the case).
Ended up getting this...
Yep when it turns off the standby mode seems to keep the pixels warm still or something, haven't tried turning it off directly but just windows tell it to turn off the screen it seems to semi-stay on.
Yep the lhr are starting to roll out well with less interest from the miner groups.
Markets back up 10-15% today actually and showing signs of going back up so tbd :s. If you can manage to get cards can you really blame folks for wanting to make a quick buck? Just my 2 cents.
That said the...
Its basically a 25% off 3090 with 1/2 the vram, unless you're doing 4k gaming or want/need really high framerates most folks don't need it.
That said it hasn't been cracked yet and crypto is down, so they're pretty available overall, an available card is an in demand card still. (it has been...
Since release day thats pretty substantial time jump though, its been 20 days since release and about 20-25min into the queue.
(due to the server issues I feel like the real start time was about 7:20 PT, this is basing I got my 3080ti the day after launch at 7:25PT time)
It sends you back whenever you enter a code to make it less ideal trying to spam different ones for the best price.
It used to just let you apply it but they changed it in the last week.
Thats fair, I would think its more likely eventually nvidia stops caring and releases an unlimited driver when eth finally goes POS, at that point it wont matter.
iirc its supposed to get about 66 mh/s but still at 240w its pretty horrendous, would be better to mine cfx or erg at that point
that said, how long til nvidia makes another oopsie with the drivers
I suppose I did, I was going off the original title that was asking essentially what the risers were used for (mining) which has very low bandwidth requirement.
Was just trying to say it doesn't have to be a dedicated mining board to be used efficiently.
I disagree, any board with at least 4 or 5 slots is great for mining still as long as its recent enough to have 4g decoding (iirc its z270 and newer).
That will allow the cheap 1 to 4 adapters to be used like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CWPWDF8
A normal motherboard can provide a...
1) install the card directly in a pcie x16 slot
2) locate and install the dev driver without the limiter
3) either plug in a monitor or a dummy hdmi adapter
4) configure your OC undervolt settings
5) mine away at about 47mh/s
Problem for alot of folks is the 30 series cards are already almost comically long, the powerlink puts it off the end of the board instead of behind it.
Even in the example above you couldnt fit a powerlink in that sliver of space, but the 180 degree connectors fit.
