Tuned my cards around the same. +100 core clock, +400 mem, 80% power limit. Their hash per watt goes up significantly with not much loss in overall hashing power. e: The NiceHash complacency is pretty entertaining. Best of luck to those still using them.

PerrineClostermann posted:My cards ran at around that temperature. Gpus are made for that, iirc. To further answer the question people are also flashing their card's with a 3rd party BIOS image to run outside of the GPU's design parameters for an extra 10% hash, which is what can really gently caress things up for someone who wants to use the card later And no the consumer-grade cards are actually not designed to run at full load 24/7, NVidia's warranty terms even say so

Im getting solar installed and a power wall next year. The estimate from the consultation says I can easily afford to run a few rigs off the excess power from the panels. Free money 4ever

I think I broke out of their normal negotiating script because I bought and installed everything myself and no one at the power company was expecting that so had no idea what to do and was able to get paid the same rate they charge. There's no benefit to using more power or only using it certain times of day for me. Leave nothing on during the day and time shift all those earnings to the night when everyone's home. The standard way they pay people in my city is some percentage of the cost of the power generated, I think something like 70-80% of the cost. Based on my experience they probably have room to negotiate and it might be worth calling them every few months and trying to get a better deal. Power is still 21 cents/kwh, but at least I don't need to think about how I'm using power at all.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:You're not maintaining a massive and complex electrical distribution system so: No. Nope. But, they could incentivize the payback rate to get more people contributing back in to the grid to reduce their costs. There's very little incentive to feed back in to the grid with the current state of affairs and it is more beneficial to myself to completely cut ties with the power company(can't because of monopolistic ordinances  ). Therefore I'm still reducing pollution by saying gently caress you to the power company and generating/storing my own electricity.

Mining Pool Hub is supposedly pretty great if you can be arsed to set up the multiminers and stuff. I’ve only mined Ethereum and Siacoins directly, so I can’t say, but for what I’ve tried, it’s a solid pool, and you can exchange your earnings for other coins.

Axe-man posted:So you would tell the electrical company instead to "gently caress you got mine?" I am pretty sure power companies are being two-faced about it. Crediting people for net metering just for the PR value, when they in fact they want to make it as low-paying and obnoxious as they can because they want solar to fail, for obvious reasons. I'm fine with people telling the power companies to gently caress-off even when they're in a position to sell electricity back. I just hope I live long enough to see them all go bankrupt decades from now when a full roof of solar panels and a dozen power walls cost a few hundred bucks.

There's nothing new about the technology, it's the economy of scale that will solve all our problems. Solar panel pricing has dropped a tremendous amount in the last decade due to China pumping them out, and Tesla opened the largest battery factory in the world (I believe the largest factory, period). Give it a while more and it won't make financial sense for new houses to be built without a panel array and fuckoff-huge battery.

does anyone still make a reference rx 580? I dont really like how the open air coolers dump hot air into the case which then moves through the air cooled cpu. If this was an open air milk crate it would be fine but I cant have that on my desk at work. It needs to fit in my case, and blowers would probably be perfect. To be clear im the boss, its my business and im not stealing power from my job.

Well maybe you do, but that high pitch noise is awful at load. AMD blowers are the most obnoxious thing. I had a couple 480s in a rig and when I toggled them to full speed I could hear them a couple rooms over - as in, one time I toggled them from 70% to 100% and the dog perked up at the leafblower that had erupted. On the NVIDIA side, I have a pair of 1070 ref blowers in a rig I keep in my living room and they're fine even at 100% fan speed.

Peachfart posted:Tesla is a scam for dumb nerds Speculating on TSLA stock is for dumb nerds, Tesla themselves are terrifying the large car manufacturers, to the point where Detroit automakers are planting union shills at Tesla to disrupt them and lobbing to prevent Tesla from selling direct-to-customer in many states. I drive an electric car and they are loving great, as you'll hear from virtually anyone who has one. It's not some tree-hugger conspiracy, they are quiet and save a shitton of money, both on fuel and on the near complete lack of maintenance. I'm not even a total fan of Tesla, they run their stores like loving Apple and are equally walled-garden about their products. They've even tried to "brick" salvage cars over-the-air and restrict replacement parts, though to be fair they probably want to avoid an electrocution/fire lawsuit. On the other hand, they have the best engineers on the planet, just launched the fastest production car on the planet (with YouTube videos to prove it), they have a tremendous head-start on autonomous cars vs the competition, they put out a big-rig with range so good and a price so low that people doubted it could be legit (one of the largest logistics companies has been test driving them and says they're the real deal) and last but not least the Model 3 production is ramping up and has 310 miles range while being middle-class affordable. So what's the scam? Yeah, some people live in apartment buildings so they can't plug it in at night, that and lack of education are the only things holding electric cars back.
