That was a pretty good week.  I have still yet to win at the shuffle.

So now that Doge has been making a big run it has been on CNBC a lot.  Am I the only one who pronounces Doge like Dog E instead of how they pronounce it on CNBC which is Doge' a little more of a soft g almost French sounding.

I was able to put orders in for a few cards at retail this week.  An asus tuff 3070 and an evga xc3 ultra on Amazon both have shipping dates as of right now the last week of February.  Hopefully they ship sooner.

A gigabyte Aorus Master 3070 and a 3080 Vision from B&H Photo.  They shipped the 3070 and it gets here Monday.  The Vision says backordered but I am hoping that is just them catching up from the snow storm.

I will likely switch the 3070 coming in Monday with a 5700 on my 6 gpu rig.  This will leave me with 5 more cards to switch to 3000 series.  I sold a MSI 5700 and a MSI 5600xt for a bit over what i paid for 2 3060 ti's from best buy.

I have about 600 mhs on eth now and would like to add another rig in the house but I'm trying to be disciplined and stick to the plan I laid out a few weeks ago.

Today the crypto market has behaved in a wierd manner wherein we have seen bloodbath for some altcoins like doge, trx and all wherein other altcoins like XLM and XRP has performed well. When the altcoin goes into red then the users usually transfers their funds from altcoin to either a stable coin or bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is in the verge of further pump users would prefer Bitcoin as the most suitable alternative for their funds, by this way it's bitcoin's gain isn't it?

Don't worry bro ,  we are on track and I'm happy with even 100k by the EOY.

PS: Please don't hate Doge or Elon some of us sold the top (not @savetherainforest tho  ) 

BTW, here are a few things you can do to reduce mobo power consumption.
1.If Intel cpu, then you should be able to undervolt the cpu.  My Has(h)well cpus are happy with 75-100mV undervolt of both core,  cache and graphics sub-unit.  You can dl the Intel XTU for this.
2.Install only one stick of RAM.  Any dual RAM module setup will likely double the RAM power consmp.
3.Disable serial and parallel port in BIOS.
4.Disable any mobo RGB
5.Avoid HDD, use SSD or USB

What? My RX580 8gb is pulling 89 - 90 watts and that's a fact, I mean it's measured and correct, all I did was lower core voltage like some advice and it works, maybe you should try that too to see for yourself
