    GPU Mining Got 1k back from credit card promotion after 4k spending. 6800 and 6800xt caught on sale during the August price slump. Motherboard and GPU are ~10 years old. It ain't much, but it keeps my room warm, offsets electricity cost, and currently makes ~ $200 monthly. 😆

    EVGA 3080 Ti XC3 Hidden Power Limit

    Posted: 02 Nov 2021 06:23 AM PDT

    If you, like me, have been struggling to get and EVGA 3080 Ti XC3 to achieve the ~80 MH/s unlocked Ethash mining speeds, then you are not alone. I thought that I just had a bad card, but I recently lucked into a 3080 Ti FE and found it easily hitting those hash speeds and did some more investigation

    It seems that the factory VBIOS has a hidden power limit that will cause the core to down-clock during periods of high memory load (like mining or high-resolution 3D rendering. Users on EVGA's forums complained about the issue and it appears to have been resolved in the latest firmware update from EVGA. The firmware update requires Windows, EVGA X1 Precision, and the disabling of both "Fast Boot" and "CSM Support" in your motherboard's BIOS. I followed the instructions in this post on the EVGA forums and was able to get the VBIOS updated.

    After doing the above, my EVGA 3080 Ti XC3 went from ~66 MH/s "unlocked" (it was the same for GMiner, NBMiner, Trex, etc.) to immediately flirting with ~80 MH/s with the immediate improvement of my locked-core-clock actually being honored. It appears the cause of the lower-than-expected hash rate was the GPU core clock cycling down below 900 MHz while mining. The new VBIOS leaves the core at the locked speeds and I'll actually be able to tweak the OC/unlocker without the frustration of watching the core down-clock and tank the hash rate.

    I couldn't find any other posts here about this card and its hidden power limit, so I hope this helps others that may have been suffering the same issue.

    3080 ti eagle mining requirements

    Posted: 02 Nov 2021 07:51 AM PDT

    So I've got a handful of 3080ti eagle on the way. Anything special to get these newer nvidia cards mining compared to say early gen 3080 ? Like dummy hdmi plugs or like that ? Plan on using hiveos

    In the end... What else can you do with GPUs?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2021 07:15 AM PDT

    Aside from selling them, has anyone looked at what other services we can provide? I know Azure and AWS (and many others) offer this already but is there a way we can join a "pool" to provide a service?

    Thinking about loud.

    Daisy chained PSU troubleshooting

    Posted: 01 Nov 2021 01:04 PM PDT

    Have a 2400w psu setup (2x daisy chained 1200w 100v server psu's) that has been running fine for the last 6+ months...

    Turned rig off yesterday to do some cleaning, turn it back on a little while later, now the psu's wont sync -- only one turns on at a time.

    Press the power button on main breakout board to turn it off, that psu shuts off, but then the chained psu starts sending power... press power button on main breakout board to turn it on, and the chained psu stops sending power and psu attached to the main breakout board starts sending power...

    Didn't change anything or disconnect anything while cleaning, there's nothing obviously fried that I can see...

    Still trying to look and see if I have another sync cable laying around to try and see if that's the issue...

    Anyone familiar with these breakout boards that might have any tips on troubleshooting this? Is there a hard reset button or process I can try?

    Edit:
    This is the psu kit I'm using for this rig -
