    Did the Gigabyte 3080 thermal pads mod. Amazed! 60-70MH to 100MH!

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 03:17 AM PST

    My 3080 is the Eagle, so I guess is the cheapest one.

    I was holding back the car to 60MH so that memory wouldn't be pegged at 110c, so it stayed at around 104c, but only 60mh. If I let the memory temp go through, I could mine at around 70-73MH at 110 Tjunc temperature. Fans at 80%.

    Not only in mining, even playing heavy games like flight simulator, the memory would reach 96-98 degrees

    Yesterday I did the mod by replacing the cooler pads and adding pads to the back. 2mm in the front, and 3mm in the backplate. Bought GELID GP-Extreme form amazon. Not only Eagle lacks thermal pads on the backplate, the ones in the front are absolute terrible... leaving like oil all over the memory.

    AMAZING RESULTS!

    It might be the cheapest Gigabyte card, but that cooler is very capable, just holded back by the crappy stock thermal pads and lack of them in the back.

    I'm now mining at 100MH, with 88-90c Tjunc memory temp with fans at only 70% (sounds high but it's pretty slow on this card, barely audible. like 1200-1300rpm.

    I wonder why brands like Gigabyte cut costs like this. How much a couple of thermal pads cost to them? Should be next to nothing for a company that buys those things in bulk. I bet it could even reduce RMA's, covering some of the cost of the extra thermal pads.

    The crazy thing is that the cooler+backplate are very high quality, they shift A LOT heat, but they are let down by simple cheap things as thermal pads. Backplate gets very hot now, so it's doing it's work well!

    Edit: I followed this video. It's not a Eagle, it's a Vision, but looks to be the exact same card and cooler, just different branding.

    99.5 MH/s Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity (no mods)

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:16 AM PST

    Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience with a Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity.

    Right now I'm running with 72% Power, -200 Core, +1200 Mem, 85% Fans.

    96°C on memory junction. The temps are stable for 13 hours now.

    I don't intend to open the card to add thermal pads because I don't want to void my warranty.

    My setup is far from ideal right now, since I'm still waiting for the rig frame I ordered. I'm sure I'll get better temps once I can place my cards properly. I know it looks horrible.

    Why am I getting more Profitability from nicehash than mining directly from a pool?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 11:38 PM PST

    I was using Ethermine days before and found out that Ethermine are 2$ lower than Nicehash no matter how much I tried..

    My GPU is MSI Ventus RTX 3080 X3 (OC) I'm running around 100 MH/s from excavator, tried Phoenix Miner tried any plugins from Nicehash and went to see if mining directly will get me more profit, turns out it's way less..

    Any reason why it's better using Nicehash than mining directly?

    How to find out if I found a block on Ethermine pool?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:53 AM PST

    There's a list of recent miners that found blocks on the main page but how I can browse all of the blocks and check if I'm there? I'm curious if my card found anything.

    Stratum-Ping Tool Checks the Real Ping To the Mining Pool

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 07:24 AM PST

    Stratum-Ping Tool Checks the Real Ping To the Mining Pool

    Let's get to the mistake many people are making: when they talk about "ping to the pool", they actually think about the standard ping utility (named the same in Windows and Linux), which uses special ICMP packets to measure the particular host response time, but… this is not exactly relevant for a mining pool.

    Ping Test

    Instead of sending an ICMP packet, it does what a real mining rig does — actually connects to the pool, sends the login command to it using the Stratum protocol, and waits for the valid response, then repeats it several times. As a result, we get an accurate and honest measurement that discards all of the routing trickery and shows how fast or how slow in reality the mining pool of your choice is. In fact, these numbers should look somewhat similar to the numbers reported by your own mining software. For accurate results, it's best to look at the resulting averages as situational single cases may vary. It is also advised to try and re-run the test at different times of the day.

    Are my GPUs memory temperatures safe for 24/7 mining??

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 07:15 AM PST

    Are my GPUs memory temperatures safe for 24/7 mining??

    Hi Guys!!

    I'm a bit new in mining and I have a small rig with this specs:

    MotherBoard: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600

    4 GPUs MSI rx5700 MECH OC

    2 PSU CoolerMaster 750w gold Plus

    OS: HiveOS

    When I build it the memory temperatures of my GPUS (MSI rx5700 MECH OC) were at 95-100° Celcius. Then, after bios modded, OC settings and undervolting following the guide on the page 32 of this thread https://www.igorslab.de/community/threads/gigabyte-5700-xt-bios-mod-fails.3304/page-32

    my GPUs mem temps are at 78-84° Celsius; do you think that these values ar safe for 24/7 mining??

    How to mine dogecoin on gpu

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:02 AM PST

    How can I mine dogecoin on my GPU? I've tried it on my cpu, but when you are running an 10900k at full power, it will create a lot of heat. Has anyone tried it? And how can I do it?

    Converting Dryer Outlet to Household Outlets

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 03:19 AM PST

    Howdy folks, I currently have an unused 4 pin dryer outlet which runs off of a 40 Amp 250 Volt circuit in my garage. I am looking to move my two mining rigs (each one drawing about 1200 watts) into the garage to deal with the heat.

    Would a product like this be safe and or adequate to plug the rigs into off the dryer outlet?

    MSI Afterburner Power Limit Not Applying on Restart (but hidden)

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 07:10 PM PST

    I've configured the mining rig to run on restart automatically.

    The Afterburner settings all appear to apply (as the hash rate for each card remains about 61 MH/s) but I noticed the meter on my wall is listing over 900 watts after restart. MSI Afterburner shows the checkbox as "greyed out" indicating there are no changes to apply. However, when I just click a setting (such as the power limit at 60) and hit the check my power at the wall drops to the low 600's.

    Any ideas as to what is going on?

    Driver issues with 3060 and 3080?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 01:18 PM PST

    XFX 6800 MERC AT 67MH/s? How? I come home from work with these settings applied but was only getting 62MH/s? Where did the 5 extra come from?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 07:05 PM PST

    Can anyone help me with my settings? I was told i should be able to get 90mh/s with a 3080 but im only getting 75. info in comments

    Why are 2x3070 mining ETH at 75-80 mh/s average instead of 100-120 mh/s that I see on websites and calculators?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 02:28 PM PST

    Any idea why my 2x3070 cards are getting 90 mh/s max, but it's more in the 70-80 mh/s range average. Looking at calculators and different websites it should be mining in 100-120 mh/s range but I'm not getting that. I decided to mine when I'm not working so it's not a dedicated mining machine and I left Gpu-s on default settings. I set GPU power limit to 70% and the difference is negligible in performance, but the temps are lower.

    PC specs:

    Asus Prime x470 Pro
    Kingston 32GB Ram
    Ryzen 3600
    2x Gigabyte 3070 at 70% Power Limit @ 1950, 1850MHz / Memory @ 6800 Mhz

    RIO of various cards spreadsheet?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:48 PM PST

    Has anyone put this together? I have a workbook with the top cards and their estimated ROI based on just the card and also cards plus additional components (factoring MSRP vs *certain sites* vs the retail market). This also includes some additional stats such as ROI w/ extra component cost.

    If anyone is interested in this, I can post what I have. Otherwise, I would like to see what you are using to make sure I'm not way off base.

    Help with historical calculation

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:13 PM PST

    An old friend of mine was supposed to buy a Radeon 5850 for ~$250 USD and mine with it, on a campus with free electricity in, uh, January 2011.

    I want to figure out the historical potential profit that could have been made if they had mined continuously since then, stopping when it became unprofitable.

    Anyone have time to help out? Purely just for fun.

    Newbie here, is this a good strategy for starting crypto mining with barely money?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 04:13 PM PST

    TL;DR

    I don't want to invest a big ammount of money in a crypto miner rig and had an idea, convince friends and pretty much everyone with a high end gpu to rise GPUs and MH/s and make more profit for each participant thereforce rising more money every single of us will probably contribute in newer hardware in the future if prices don't go up

    Has anyone ever tried this or something similar? If so please share with me how it went

    ;

    Okay so i've been wondering this for a while, I started being interested since the WSB thing and wanted to get into it.

    The thing is, a friend of mine and I started doing some math about how much can we make with our GPUs; GTX 1660ti 6GB, RX 580 8GB and a GTX 1070 8GB, the profit margin was quite slow and there was a probably one of our gpus could stop working because overheat/burnt etc

    At first view this is very risky, as eth can go down, and pc hardware is expensive.So I thought about this, now I'm studying in an IT field, and most people here have Gaming PCs, buying a GPU nowadays is not very clever since I've seen that prices rised, probably because 1000 more like me are doing the same.For example my GT 1030 in 2018 was 85eur, now it's near 90eur, It's not aging well.

    The idea was convincing arround 8 people with 200-400eur GPUs to collect a total of 10 GPUs and rise arround 300MH/s, I know there's a lot of factors that can make the outcome different, since mining calculators are the evil like someone else said in this sub

    Now that would seem stupid because the benefits are distributed by 10, but since we are making more money, every of us will probably invest even more in more gpus and rigs if the thing goes well

    Have to say it will be very difficult to convince someone to stop playing videogames in their gaming pcs, I even offered my spare GT 1030 since I don't really need it but it's not mining focused.

    Okay, we did the math and let's say each person gets 480eur year, which is not a lot but by just providing a 300-400eur GPU I'd say it's a great deal.

    The first year would be to cover all the rig hardware, so in case something breaks we could cover it by using our gains. After a year, we will start seeing green numbers, and If every participant sees the investment is going well and beneficial then they wwill probably invest even more, if everyone gives 30 eur, then we have 300eur more to buy gpus, If we want to get another PSU we can get one by paying 6/8 eur each person

    I've searching ways to minimize electricity costs, the plan would be to find someone with a constant monthly payment for a fixed kwh/power/month that can handle a mining rig of 28,2 kwh per day (1235 eur year) plus light and home appliances which will be probably impossible unless we get some solar panels or we move the rig to someone's house who's gone to vacation and has the same electrical plan. My mum pays 70eur / month, a total of 840 year, and we get ~10kwh

    I even researched about solar panels, they are good if you are planning to live 10-15years more at your current home, saving more or less 80% iirc, but that would be a big investment and I don't have job/money to cover that, sorry if I'm not very informated atm

    We planned to mine Etherum

    Thanks for your time

    Rig from hell - Afterburner sees gpus but gives 0s for half of them

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 07:16 PM PST

    Just reinstalled a fresh copy of windows 10, all the drivers, disabled windows update and defender. Can't get nicehash to open (another issue), quick miner doesn't see any cards, device manager does and they're all green, afterburner sees all the cards but half of them display all zeros. I tried turning low level io off and it didn't help.

    Any ideas?

    Firepro GPUs

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 01:06 PM PST

    Are those able to mine anything? There are some posts here from 7 years ago but they don't tell anything.

    I am trying to find some information online but no luck.

    It is like those GPUs do not exist at all.

    My first assumption was that they are specialized GPUs for some specific tasks but can't figure out their mining capabilities.
