After spending 50 plus minutes on the phone with staples they are sending me a $70 gift card in 15 to 30 days. In store use only. Other option was 10% off an item. Also a higher up manager will contact me in 48 to 72 business hours.
i have a feeling that we all have to get Video cards from scalpers at one point............

i will stop accumulating cards if that turns out to be the case. That being said, there is a small % ontop of msrp I would be willing to pay, but not much

Get some old server setup that has 4 PCEI x16
then, plug in your 3060s

or there are some 4 way PCEI gaming mobo, also works. some of those are cheap too

Yeah I was looking at that but server motherboards and cpus r way too expensive

I was just going to spread out my 3060s across my rigs (can stick 2 3060s onto a board), or just mine cortex/conflux with em instead lol

AMD cards this generation are not that great compared to NVIDIA.

The last time around it was the opposite.

I remember my friend sold his RX 580 that he bought for like $250-$300 for $550 and upgraded straight to a GTX 1070. He was a happy camper.

Its so weird my miners are down pretty much in the same day or same time frame.
They usually run for few days without any issues.

Like this morning, my miner#1 down at 7AM, miner#3 down at 9AM, Miner#6 down at 11AM...etc.
Need to restart them to make them working again.
Its like they all crapped out all around the same time.

I am thinking, it might be caused by electrical issue ? power source is not stable ?

Any of you miners have experienced this issue ?

Yeah just the other day actually things were working great for days, then bam domino effect, and half a day of hiccups and restarts needed, and since then they've been working fine for a couple days so far

Probably an electrical or ambient temperature issue

Been meaning to get a "server room" setup so I can run everything in one room, with stable elec, and ventilation, but I don't have enough rigs to justify something like that I think

Anyone got a 6800XT for trade?

Picked up a 6800XT TUF today, but looking to trade for either a reference model, a Gigabyte OC model, or any of the two Sapphire models.

Yes this will drastically reduce the amount of rewards made by $ETH miners, so you guys should definitely look into the effects this will have on your investments

Oh the mining container listing is back up eh, saw it a month or two ago, my friend had a client who was interested but the listing was removed/expired?

It's using a lot of old, past their due date, cards iirc tho

Zotac and Asus seemed to have shipped out a bunch of cards out, so some of my 3080 preorders are finally getting filled, but shipping will still be a lil bit, might just flip em tho seems like a good time to still

Just wanted to hear some opinions:

Currently Running 2 x EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 and 1 x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti across two towers (me and wifey's computer since we work from home usually). I snagged another 3060 Ti yesterday during the Bestbuy drop, but I don't have anymore slots to run it.

Should I sell the two 3070's and replace it for the 3060 and trade the other 3070 for a 3060 plus cash and straight up just run three 3060's? or should I upgrade my tower to fit the extra 3060 in?

You can run the card outside your tower, just get a riser and let the extra sit outside, provided u have enough pcie cables

As for trading things for 3060s non ti (wait is it non ti? There are 3060s and there are 3060 ti's) dont do it, if its the non ti, not in your circumstance anyway, as mining with them is more complicated
