Bug: No temps in on Nvidia cards in Windows driver 461.92
Confirm the same for Pascal cards in Linux with 460.67 driver. |

In the Amazon product reviews, few people wrote that it doesn't work. I don't expect this to work in all motherboards because it will be drawing the whole power for the GPUs through a single PCIe slot, there is something similar to this on amazon too that has power cable on it, that should work instead of this, remember, the reason why riser works better is because you have to power it using molex or other The 4-way splitter is connected to the risers through the USB cable which is for the data connection. Only a small 3V current is sent through the USB cable. You still need to power the risers. These splitter won't work in all motherboards. On some you can only get an extra card per slot. It all depends on how the lanes on the PCI-E slots of the motherboard are configured. You probably want to set he speed of the slots to GEN 2 or GEN 1 in the BIOS. Same goes with the m.2 adapters, though typically the splitters are more compatible than the m.2 adapters which requires you to configure the slot in PCI-E mode instead of SATA mode in the BIOS. |

If it's true, that going to be one expensive doorstop once ETH moves to POS. Hopefully this will improve GPU availability.

Windows is your best option for turning them off. With some cards the LED's reset with each boot so, it's not permanent. If you are on Linux, the packages for managing LED's are stuck in 2016, so they don't work with many of the most current cards. Other than covering them up. some cards have a connector on the board you can unplug to disconnect them.

You need to remove the '#' sign from the beginning of each line. That comments out the line so that it is not read.

Thanks guys!
I may try Ubuntu.
When it comes to overclocking, is there a utility/app for 8+ cards?
Overclocking multiple Nvidia GPU's on Linux requires running the X server as a root user. Overclocking is done through nvidia-settings and nvidia-smi using scripts after enabling Coolbits, or you can also do overclocking through flashing the GPU Bios. An excellent resource for configuring Linux is the Arch Linux wiki. As Arch is Debian based, like Ubuntu, much of the information applies. Just the package names and commands may be slightly different. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Overclocking_and_coolinghttps://www.ethmining.net/ |

Unless you are already familiar with Linux setup and configuration, are comfortable with scripting and are willing to make a commitment to learn, setting up a Linux distro to mine is not something I would recommend. Linux is by no means 'plug and play' like Windows. Setting it up on a multi GPU system you will come across many issues that will require you to figure out. Like setting up drivers, configuring the X-server, configuring permissions, overclocking, etc. It would be difficult for someone not already familiar with Linux to solve. Ubuntu is probably the easiest since many of articles and tutorials about mining on Linux are based on Ubuntu. The mining distros make it much easier as they do all the underwork for you and are a better option for someone new to Linux. Gwe is a Nvidia overclocking utility on Linux. It aims to be a replacement to Afterburner, however currently it's limited to just one GPU.

You can overclock the GPU memory higher on Linux than on Windows. Linux is more efficient than Windows at how it handles VRAM. Windows 10 automatically reserves an enormous amount of VRAM of ~30% on each GPU in the system, whether it's use or not. This causes less GPU VRAM to be available for mining memory intensive algorithms such as and Ethash and Cuckatoo31. The general recommendation is to double the Windows overclock value on Linux, but I would say that is the upper limit and it depends on the card. For most cards the performance is generally the same on both Linux and Windows and some cards can do slightly better on Linux. With algo's like Cuckatoo31 you're not able to mine it at all with Windows 10 on GPU's with 8GB or less VRAM, which you can Linux or Windows 7 which doesn't reserve as much VRAM.

The difficulty of a coin is correlated to the profitability. The higher the profitability, speculative or otherwise, the more miners will join the network in seek of profit. Some will move from mining other coins. Others will come back online and others build more rigs with the hope of recovering their capital investment before the difficulty gets too high. Once that happens and profitability goes down, the miners with the highest recurring expenses are the first to go offline.
With transactions and gas prices being at an ATH, along with the price, instead of the standard 2 ETH per block, miners are receiving an average of over 3 ETH per block and as much as >9 ETH, which is a big reason why it's currently profitable to mine ETH. EIP 1559 lowers the mining rewards by burning the transaction fees instead of including them in the block reward, but it also reduces the ETH supply inflation from mining, which tends to cause downward pressure on the ETH price as miners sell their ETH to pay for expenses. Hopefully leading up to EIP 1559 implementation the ETH price will keep up with current profitability, otherwise it could be a rough time for miners once the rewards are reduced.

I would use a minimum of 25cm of space from the backplate to the faceplate of the next GPU. In open air rigs you can use inexpensive box fans to improve convection and remove the hot air from around the GPU's, but adequate spacing minimizes conduction of infrared heat radiation emitting from the GPU's.  |

The problem with buying older GPU's, especially from the era of the 2017 mining craze, is you don't know how hard the cards have been run. The cards you link being mining cards, I would wonder why they are selling them being mining is currently as profitable as it has ever been. Adaseb is also not a fan of Gigabyte Windforce fans (no pun intended). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2796713.msg28590095#msg28590095IMO, if you want to buy used, I would look to buy locally 1-2 cards at a time from a gamer if possible. Bad idea, even gamers are into mining too, they can easily sell cards for you pretending to be full time gamers only, for example I game on PC and I'm also into mining 24/7, I can easily lie to you that I game with the card only, I can even make video of me gaming and you will believe me Sure, it could be a miner pretending to be a gamer or, a gamer that is selling his old rig to build a new one, no guarantee's. In any case, I think overpaying for old GPU's looking to invest in to mining is especially risky in many ways since once the profitability goes down, you will never recover the cost you overpaid for old hardware. |

A PSU's rated efficiency is based on how efficient the PSU is in transforming the AC power from the wall in to the DC power that your components can use. 80 Plus is an organization that tests and certifies PSU's for manufacturer's and groups them according to their efficiency.  Higher rated PSU's consume less power because they use better quality components that are more efficient. e.g. In converting a 500 watt load, a PSU rated at 90% efficiency will consume 555 W from the wall vs a PSU rated at 80% will consume 625 W from the wall for the same 500 W load. The rest is wasted in heat. How efficient a power supply is also depends on the percentage of the rated load being outputted, with most PSUs running at maximum efficiency around 50% load. Better quality PSU's are able to keep their rated efficiency for a higher percentage of the maximum output. Better quality dual conversion PSU's also convert the entire energy into a 12V single rail and then uses VRM to generate 5V and 3.3V. The cheaper PSU type converts using different taps in the transformer for each voltage and use the 5V line to regulate the voltage, instead of the 12V line like the dual conversion models. In mining, that causes voltage instability from not loading the 5V line. As far as for mining, I would stick to Gold or higher rated PSU's from EVGA, Superflower, Seasonic or Corsair. |

Well history has shown you are wrong. The most effective strategy since the early days of BTC has not been to trade. It's avoid buying in to hype in hopes of getting rich quick and sticking to projects that have a market fit for the long term. The long term winners since BTC have been the HODL'ers.
There is no scam like cryptcoins in the world, they can get money easily from everywhere and every person willingly and scarcity and hype plays a role in the scam. I have never been wrong because I trade since 2011 and I have earned a lot lot more trading than if I had just held bitcoin, period. Yeah for the losers, holding is and was the safest route because every time scammers create a huge bulltrap and then they crash a lot but that lot is not to where they started the bulltrap and this time will be the same but this will end in 10 years or so if not earlier, this same bulltrap will not keep working, there is a limit to everything, good example is gold. You're trying to have it both ways. You call all Crypto a scam and the demonstrably effective strategy of HODL for losers, yet you want us to believe you are this trading genius that knows exactly when to time the market, contrary to all market dynamics and whales parking billions in Crypto and DeFi projects for the long term, despite ATH's. Well congratulations, you must know more than everyone and if you believe that, there's a token for you to 3x your profits with that strategy, which by the way is built on ETH. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/3x-short-ethereum-tokenFor 99.9% of Crypto enthusiasts trying to time the market is a losing game and it's best to stick to a proven effective strategy. Of course there is nothing wrong in taking profits, especially in the case of miners which have capital investments to recover. |

The current dynamics for ETH are very different than from 2-3 years ago. The previous times ETH reached the current levels, it was mostly based on speculation of future adoption, evidenced from the short lived spikes on the chart. In addition to speculation, the current rally has been sustained for almost a year and is based on actual adoption from DeFi projects and participants paying to use ETH, evidenced by the transaction costs, which are nowhere near previous levels. The high transaction costs have actually slowed adoption considerably, as it prices smaller participants out and gives fuel to competing projects.
DEFI to me is no different than the ICO's hype in 2017 to 2018, I wonder how long that will keep it up because from when it started, some tokens increased 100 times, that is not sustainable and it will crash hard just like 2018, also I always hear "this time is different", from what I see, there is nothing different at all hehe, hype hype buy buy trap noobs trap noobs then sell off and let them have all the bags hehe Well history has shown you are wrong.

The charts show ETH adoption and utilization is at ATH. This is all bullish for ETH https://etherscan.io/chart/txhttps://etherscan.io/chart/networkutilizationThe uncertainty for miners is the upcoming fork substantially reducing the rewards by burning the transaction fees instead of rewarding them to miners. This is also bullish for ETH. Less supply from miners = less coin to dump to drive the price down. The question is whether competing chains can drive adoption away from ETH given the high transaction costs, before ETH can move to improve capacity and lower transaction costs. https://etherscan.io/chart/avg-txfee-usdNo different than what it was in 2018, in the end we know what happened and the interesting thing is they went on with the forks to reduce issuance and yet price had not changed a bit, stayed around 100 usd ehhe, I think they reduced issuance 5 to 3 eth and then reduced a bit more later on and price stayed at 100 usd ehhe, not saying this will not go up, I'm saying that anybody holding it has a lot more chances of losing profit than earning at moment, a lot of holders could have sold at 1200 usd in 2018 and they have not then it crashed to 100 usd. I'm not expecting it to crash to 100 usd, but 200 ~ 300 usd is within my range of buying it back and trust me it will fill my order very soon. Once they start the sell off, you trolls will see what hehell is like, from July last year they have been accumulating, they will have to sell at some point aka distribution.

Do not hold anything, time to hold was before eth 1000 usd, sell anything you trolls mine and then thank me later when everything crashes to hehell because that is where eth and all cryptcoins will be going very soon, let the moon moon trolls hold, be smart, remember that eth stayed priced around at 100 usd for around 2 years and profit was negative most of the those 2 years.
I hear it from the time then ETH was $600. Several my friends sold ETH between $600 and $800. I sold rather big part of my ETH at $1300. May be you are right, but may be it can raise up to $4000 before $100. We cant say really, just trying to guess. The charts show ETH adoption and utilization is at ATH.

Looking at the market right now I believe that ethereum will keep growing higher and probably hit 3k soon, I think I'm going to keep storing my ETH from now on doing so can get you closer to ROI faster since the ETH you keep will add more in value, I suggest you do same thing if you buy your GPU at high price like many did this year
You will not be able to keep all the mined coins. Any miner has electricity costs, room rental costs, and others. You can hold some of the mined coins, but some of the coins will probably have to be sold to get a return on investment in mining. Because if a price dump occurs, you will incur losses. Because if the prices of coins fall, then you will lose money. Exactly. It's easy to say HODL your mined coins when you're not the one paying the bills  . That being said, historically the miners that did the best are the ones that kept mining and paid out of pocket for expenses while the profitability was down. |

Haven't mined on Nanopool for a while. That was the syntax I used for the Claymore miner. Try this:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9433 -worker Myrig -wal wallet -pass Bobmarley87 -rvram -1 -eres 0
