Yeah I did that on the test bench, but they cannot get what they're getting as individual cards, so I was adding em to the rig one by one letting em run for a couple hours before adding the next, and this last one was such a pita! This whole rig was a pita compared to my other :lol

To add they're not even thermal throttling, hottest evga is sitting at 80°c for the memory junction temps, and the one that keeps messing things up is at 72° Bleh

If any of us would have known! :ahwow:

My evga rig that keeps messing up, my only solution is to have it set to auto start afterburner and mining

It still reboots itself like once a day, but the only thing I can think of as being a problem are the risers (my crappy backups) can't do anything about that until my preorders come in

Just got a Asus Strix 3070 from amazon for $966 taxes in. My 2 3080's from the states have been pushed back to March 11th.

Post up what you have I don't think the mods would mind.

Autorice 02-25-2021 08:00 PM

JackAss 02-26-2021 04:06 PM

my BestBuy EVGA 3070 delivery turns out to be a fucking HP toner inside... Now I have to go thru the process of returning the fucking toner and get my money back. Also have to wait again for them to drop so I can hopefully get one... super mad :flamemad::flamemad::flamemad::flamemad::flamemad:

Manic! 02-26-2021 05:43 PM

fckn amazon canceled my 3070 order but they have one for sale on there site from a 3rd party for $2499.

StylinRed 02-26-2021 06:00 PM

I've seen the 3070 notifications pop up a lot recently too, even today for amazon


I've got a 3060 coming in from Japan, so yay

SkinnyPupp 02-26-2021 06:23 PM

If it's a regular 3060 you might want to reconsider, and Nvidia are crippling the mining capability of that card.

I don't know if it's firmware based or what, but if it's driver based I'm sure hacked drivers will come out day 1 LUL

It's only crippled for eth still mines other coins at full speed.

What is the amount of energy needed or used for these mining computers? Word is that crypto currency is not good for the environment because of the high energy used.

Like how much $$ is needed in terms of electricity to run your designated computers for a month?

Yeah it's in the driver and only works on ethereum, other coins still work as expected, I imagine there's a driver hack coming or on its way, if it only works on eth, I wo der if the driver is just targeting the miner program

Call in and complain. I had to call in twice but got my Amazon prime membership refunded but still got to keep it.

I feel like ordering this one for $2500 then canceling just to mess with the 3rd party seller.

Of course it's not good for the environment, you're using electricity to run gibberish calculations for no actual benefit.

StylinRed 02-27-2021 11:56 AM

That's like saying accountants/accounting software are useless and bad for the environment

I need a bot, I'm clicking in stock links before I even get notified, but they sell out as I'm clicking "buy now" /cry
