I set my (msi gaming x) 1070's power limit to 70 and temp limit to 70 because I don't want this stupid thing burning out on me buttmining. Clocked up +75 which is 25 less than what's stable for this power limit so I don't have border cases loving me over.

Currently "making" .011 BTC a week. I hope I can at least buy a new PSU before the bubble pops.

Im thinking of buying a Nintendo Switch with the profits of my tricked out gaming PC that I never use for gaming

It was a flash crash. Somebody dumped a bunch of Eth, causing the price to crater. Then it quickly rebounded. This had no effect on anyone holding Eth or mining Eth.

Hilariously though, some people were margin trading eth. The crash triggered various margin calls and stop loss type things, so the margin traders were wiped out.

Using your spare GPU cycles to mine is all fun and games, and if it all goes to poo poo won't cost you more than some wasted electricity. Do not attempt to margin trade on unregulated exchanges.

My only disappointment is that the insanity did not cross over to 1080 and ti cards simply because they were 25% less efficient per watt for mining butts

Seeing more 1080 Ti models out of stock on nowinstock than usual so people are probably actually doing this :lol:

quote:

The reason for a shorter ROI here is the ability to use fewer parts for a given amount of graphics cards used. In other words, the outgoing cost will be less due to fewer systems needed to be built. Only one Motherboard, CPU, SSD, and set of RAM is required for 19 GPUs, saving money and lowering initial costs. According to ASUS, users are currently only able to utilize up to 16 cards due to a limit in GPU drivers. This is accomplished by using a mix of eight AMD and eight NVIDIA GPUs. Late in 2017, a new driver from AMD is supposed to launch enabling the full complement of 19 GPUs the motherboard can handle. When using more than 13 cards, the NVIDIA GPUs will need to use mining specific (P106 based) GPUs.

Of the 19 expansions slots, 18 are PCIe 3.0 x1, along with one full-length PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. ASUS separates the slots in three groups each with a dedicated 24-pin assigned to it for power. The top 24-pin covers slots 1-7 (includes the full-length slot), the middle header 8-13, with the last covering 14-19. There are also three Molex connectors for additional slot power. Along with separated power sources, each PCIe slot has its own dedicated capacitor to condition the voltage going to GPU.

Some of the really early 1070s have absolutely atrocious memory that'll just up and fail after around +200 MHz. You might have one of those cards.

gently caress hopefully this blows over and it recovers at least a bit, I still have like $30 tied up in there. And it kind of fucks with my plan of paying off my 1070 with mining :v:

I didn't know anyone made decent power supplies at that rating. That's... interesting. SLI isn't a thing anymore, so that means that if mining evaporates, so does the entire market for those things.
People will still try to overclock Skylake-X.
