Yep, you could do a unlimited gpu rig with it.

I think BC electrical code is 15 Amps. I calculated roughly 1500 Watts at the wall to trip a breaker.

I could be wrong though, I'm not an electrician.

Amp x voltage = wattage.

Mine power outlet is 120v
So, mine goes 1800w max.
But you don't want max it out. Always leave 15% room for safety.

What about the motherboard. My Biostar BTC motherboard has 2 four pin connectors to provide power to the PCIE slots.

You can use any spare PSUs to power the cards. Either the pin method or buying a ATX switch.

SWEX (ATX Power Supply Power-On Switch)

How to Power Up an ATX Power Supply Without a PC!: 3 Steps

https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws...ch-supply.html

Prices for coins have been historically low for this time of year, as I recall reading. It should make gains over the year.

Not to power the cards but to power the motherboard.

If you look at this Asus motherboard you will see it has 3 4 pin connectors on the bottom right.





Most EVGA PSU's come with a power on self tester. Let's you turn on the PSU with plugging in the 24 pin cable to the motherboard.

Hmm, I always thought that PCIe slots were always self powered by the MB, any additional power would be needed to be connected on the card itself. That's why the 16x part of the PCIe riser has a 4-pin (molex) connector.

Interesting that a -64% drop from the high is referred to as a dip...

Maybe I'm just old fashioned but a 5-10% drop is a dip... 10-20% is a correction... 20+ is a crash.

Good, GFTO bankers, let us use bitcoin how it's meant to be used

I'm confused, a month ago, it was at almost $17k. It's floating around $6k right now. Hasn't been at $6k since mid November.

I tethered out of all my positions yesterday... Thank goodness. Saved me the heart ache.

I'm just going to hold tether for the time being.. though, from what i've been reading, holding tether is a bad idea too, in case it goes under...

Either way, you lose... fml

Live stream of people talking about getting rekt. One guy in the states has 20 S9 miners that he has turned off because they cost more to run then they make. He also has some investors that gave them money and he was going to buy 100 1080ti's and start a farm. One person suggested renting an apartment that has free hydro and mine there.


This is not the end!!!

I would like to remind everyone that got in recently that thinks this is the end..

Bitcoin was the same price back in November.

This is honestly a ripe time to sell your cards and invest in tech you believe in. You will see massive returns in the next few months.

On the bright side mining difficulty should go down as less people mine.
