i got 110Mh but with 90c vram temp is that ok for 24/7 mining

maybe

 I do 87-88 5 months so far. So in theory  you could be good. Or not.

I would shoot for under 90c

 But 90c is under the 95c throttle point.


My 3090 are good in the minerdude cases due to powerful 140mm fans in it.

https://minerdude.com/product/x12012022/

All my 3090's are okay so far in these cases.

Frankly I do not rush to get 3090 cards

I alternate the in the 12 card cases six or 7 cards max.

I run them at 275-290 watts

But they are not ideal cards.

I could get them right now at newegg

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3090-rtx-3090-gaming-x-trio-24g/p/N82E16814137595?

put 6 in a minerdude case and I don't

price is too high at 3000 a card

US Tax code is a huge mess.
Between my late mother my wife and myself we worked over 55 years for the IRS and I can say it is so fucked up in so many ways the list of issues is as long as it is to hit a btc block solo with an s9.

As for the +8% jump it is a non issue

but three of them in a row would be an issue.

To me I am starting to see a bit of 2022 looking like 2018.

Newegg has 3090 video cards for sale.
Limit is 20 cards.
Two models of them
So a deep pocket guy could get
40x 3090 cards quickly.

price is too high but availability is there.

you can buy this:

https://minerdude.com/product/x12012022/


limit 20
https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3090-rtx-3090-ventus-3x-24g-oc/p/N82E16814137596?

limit 20

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3090-rtx-3090-gaming-x-trio-24g/p/N82E16814137595?


this availability is a sign that needs to be noted.

you can have 4gh of eth mining asap under 10 days.
but over priced.


now look at bitmain

https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020220110114909173N9yH519G0619

you can have lots of btc gear asap

if you buy the gpus from newegg all forty and seven server cases

you spend 120 on gpus and 10 on cases total of 130k for 4.4gh of eth in under 10 days

or buy 9 s19s for 100k and 30k import 130k for 1ph of hash in under 10 days.

I know people don’t like other mining info here.

but this is not about other mining info.

this is about mining gear demand

both companies have had this on the table  since very early jan.

jan 3 till now. neither one has sold out.

so the demand for gear is less.

or the demand for over priced gear ⚙️ has stopped.

my estimate for proper pricing is the 130 k deals should be more like 90k

they bear watching. to see if they sell out or get cheaper.

Tested positive for Covid.

I'm double jabbed with the vaccine (recently) and caught it off a triple jabbed person. All Pfizer jabs I believe. I don't think these jabs stop much of the spread.

Felt pretty lousy all day. Pretty much like a flu I guess, but I never had much of that ever in the past, maybe once or twice so it's noticeable for sure when this happens.
Thought I was going to be sick in the morning but was alright after light breakfast and Ibuprofen to clear the headache a bit and could carry on sleeping.

Feeling cold - hot - sweating type of sleep but apparently I was snoring my head off eventually.

Slept 15 hours in total and felt somewhat better in the afternoon.


Will see how it goes I guess. Will have another long sleep tonight.


 My 95 year old uncle had it last week.  He said his secret to success was to stay hydrated.

Drink tons of water and wrap in blankets sweat it out.

Also use this

https://www.amazon.com/Zacurate-Fingertip-Oximeter-Saturation-Batteries/dp/B06Y2FFQB9/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?


your heartbeat will elevate to keep the O2 up.

So if your pulse is 105 and you are not over 90 O2 it is getting bad.

If your pulse is 105 and your O2 is  94+ your body is winning vs losing

My wife had elevated heart rate from Jan 2020 to March 2020 105 to 115 and her O2 was above 94 the whole time.

A local GP gave her a script for valtrex and anti viral and the fever finally left in March of 2020 took more than a year for lungs to heal but the valtrex knocked out the covid. She was lucky to survive.

We caught it again Around  Oct 30- Nov 4 2021 but it was mild.  We were double vaxxed and got third vax in late nov.

I will not vax a fourth time the third vax gave me a sore arm for 35 days. really painful so no more vaxing for covid for me.

or you mine  some xec I have 10,000,000 xec

about 1000 usd worth.

I ladder list it at

1 mill for 0.0004 usd = 400
1 mill for 0.0008 usd = 800
1 mill for 0.0016 usd = 1600
1 mill for 0.0032 usd = 3200
1 mill for 0.0096 usd = 9600
1mill for 0.0290 usd = 28800
1 mill for 0.0920 usd = 92000
1 mill for 0.2910 usd = 291000
1 mill for 0.5910 usd = 591000
1 mill for 0.7710 usd = 771000


so i have the chance to turn 1000 usd into a million

i have 2 zotac 3090 trinity oc. use thermalright odyssey 3mm thermal pad for back vram. and add 2 delta fans

PL 90, mclock 1250


Nothing wrong with modding if it works and you are good at them.

Problem is you do them wrong and it voids warranty. but if you do it right most likely the best results are the 122 mh x 2 = 244 mh

I don’t do the full mods until warranty expires.

I have a good relationship with cards builders and my rmas are honored.

Nothing wrong with full mods on cards. But you need to be good at them.

most all these cards have bad pads and just use backplate as a heat sink.

I have seen multiple mods on many youtube videos and went the way of minerdude cases and no mods

run at 275-285 watts with clocks at 800 to 1000 for ram.

I have a dozen of different 3090s  and they run at 107 to 117.

if they all were modded to 122 I gain about 100 mh and worry about warranty.

If hundreds of MW are brought in for under 3 cents in the U.S it is only a matter of time before existing gears start to move there so even those who are forced to shut down else where will have to migrate or sell thier gears to the folks in the U.S.

I'd guess these large operations that are able to get those sub 3 cent rates are not interested in buying older used equipment that would require 2x or 3x the infrastructure for the same hashrate even if the miner ROI is 6 months shorter. They are spending millions to build out datacenters. I think most would rather go in with new 3kw miners that have better efficiency, and make up the additional miner cost with the extended profitability time and lower infrastructure costs.

The cost for the infrastructure and labor in the USA is high, in places where that cost is much lower I think there would be more operations that may buy up the older equipment.

you would be surprised. in 2018 we were consulting on a large build were avalon a821s would be used as an excess power sink for five pennsylvania coal power plants used to feed philiadelphia they were slightly out of date. plan was nixxed due to btc collapse of 2018 .

I would think any of these excess power companies if they consult with any decent consultant would be told to get gear now even if it its old along with get gear later.

Any texas company going all in on new gear ⚙️ will get fucked = my prediction.

any texas comapny understanding the need for old gear now in 30 days or less and new gear later will do okay.

but even though I can type this it does not mean they will do as I say.

Along with the stupidity of not having some solar and some wind in their plans.

No concept of pretty curtains to hide the mess behind it.

When I see the solar industry and the coal ,gas , oil industry at odds all I can think is fucking dumb.

no way for me to use windows again i am using nhos , but i will install windows and replicate the nicehash os low settings with afterburner to watch the vram temp if it is acceptable will switch to nhos with peace , but how can i know the low settings in nhos details so i can replicate

I never used Nicehash OS, but you can try Hive OS, it's simple to use and install
Hive OS shows memory temperature on Nvidia cards

But I agree with philipma1957, try windows to at least know your card better for a few hours or a couple of days, with GPUz you can extract a lot of information about power consumption, vram temperature, memory usage (here you can see if it's throttling or not) etc
You can use msi afterburner to make the overclock, and after that you can use another OS knowing which settings to use
thats what i though too , and i did install windows running NHQM and after some OCTune tweaks i got 100MH with 45c and 88c core and vram with 80% fan fixed speed Tdp 75% , i am still doing some memory tweaks to get 110MH without passing the 95c vram flag

also remember my 3090s are in minderdude cases which have five 140mm fans moving air bigly.



https://minerdude.com/product/x12012022/

i have 9 of these cases the fans help cool the backplates and the ram.

I like the way it looks and that it's equipped with a touchscreen. It's different from any other hardware wallet I have seen.
I don't like seeing Bluetooth, wireless connections, and batteries. *Makes me think of the Nano X.
Bragging about having tamper-proof seals is also not something worth highlighting really in today's time and age.

I have trezor and they are good

when given the chance to try this I decided to go for it.

i am interested in safety of it along with ease of use.

Yeah especially with $2500 usd cards

The 3090 do 105 to 120 all depends on how cool the ram is.

finding the memory junction temp is good to do.

Since I don't do a lot of mods on these cards I simply lower ram a bit and watts a bit. Good fan action.

I keep getting decent temps and decent hash with ram backed off a bit and external fans.

on Simple mining os most cards can do 1000 to 1100 on ram clocks
and most card run too hot with that setting.

so more fans or drop ram to 950 or 900 or 850 or even 800

Most of my 3090 have ram at 950 smos settings.

one or 2 have 1000 ram setting

one or 2 have 800 ram setting.

most of my 3090 units including the Zotac do 106 to 117mh/s

Well we are mostly remoras and not great white sharks.

most of us are 100kwatt to 3 or 4 megawatt

They don't like us, but squeezing us out is not that easy.

We have our  3 solar setups and they are cheaper  than anything they have.

Since we paid two off and third will be paid off soon.

They all have 15 to 25 years of life in them. So people with the right power deals will hang in there.

But the guy with a 6 cent deal or an 8 cent deal will struggle.
7756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [self-moderated] Is LN Bitcoin? franky1: About scaling, on-chain and off-chain on: January 14, 2022, 06:29:19 PM
I create this topic because I challenged franky1 to join a civil discussion with all arguments in one place:
@franky1: If I create a self-moderated topic (Lauda called me Switzerland for being neutral; I won't delete any of your posts, but I will call you out if you go off-topic), are you willing to engage? I expect it will be "you vs a couple of other users", but from what I've seen, you can handle yourself. I would like to discuss your points on LN that I've seen in far too many different topics, and it would be nice if we can reach consensus on at least part of the discussion.
My invitation was accepted by franky1:
i can engage.
and out of respect i will even take my own advice and step back from the computer between posts and take some breathing time between posts, and avoid (as i see other do)just hitting reply to rage reply.
 
if others can do the same. and answer without shining their bias/advertising PR stance of utopia, and respond rationally and thinking outside their small box. then great

it could actually lead to some proper dialogue.
Anyone else than franky1: I will delete unfriendly posts, and I will delete off-topic posts. See my unedited archive when that happens.

Rules Guidelines:
Please keep this topic civil.
Please keep the discussion only here, and not in other topics.
If there's something worth reading in another topic, quote it here instead of posting a link.
Try to limit the scope: don't throw 30 different arguments in one post, it will lead to endless replies. Update: separate posts in a row aren't allowed, so making different posts for each argument won't work. BlackHatCoiner expressed intentions much better:
I want to add this as a condition: We'll speak of one topic at a time. Scalability? Scalability. Lightning's protocol? Lightning's protocol. Consensus? Consensus. This way we can clarify which are our interlocutor's disagreements and constructively (& friendly) correct them.
Read everything before responding. Try to avoid duplicate replies.
Newbies: read more, post less, and create an informed opinion.
To consider: I removed franky1 from my ignore list. I think that's only fair considering the topic I started.




To start: I use on-chain Bitcoin, and I use Bitcoin LN. Bitcoin can work with or without LN, LN can't work without Bitcoin. I don't like high fees, as it limits adoption. I would like to see Bitcoin grow in value, userbase and number of transactions per second, and I think we need all three of those for Bitcoin to grow. How, that's up for debate.
LN is a different network for a reason. it has its own usecase and niche and utility that differs from bitcoins.
Nice work .

I am glad you did this.

At franky1 if btc writes code to alter from 0.00000001 to 0.0000000001 and it is voted on via miners do you concede that to be okay.

note  I said sats to 1/100 sats

or eight digits to ten digits.

I know that BTC is directly responsible for the install ion of 2 solars arrays we use

45kwatts
115kwatts

and is responsible for the 280kwatt array we are installing today.

Worthless real estate ie rooftops are now creating power.

So BTC actually creates new real estate and new power. much like a hammer it is a tool that if use properly helps people.

Philipma, are you using battery storage or grid-tied? Just curious.

grid.  NJ is a net meter state.

so use factors of 5 and 6 like this

280/5 = 56
280/6 = 46.67

so the 280 watts array will give between 46.67 to 56 kwatts 24/7/365

depends on rainy year vs dry year.

so the big array can do 14 to 17 s19pro miners for btc
or 23 to 28  12 card server cases for the shit coin eth

mining on low settings getting 107.5mh/s at 60c core with nicehash os but how can i see vram temps i think the backplat is too hot when i touch

How about power consumption?
Did you lowered the power limit?

3080s and 3090s are hot, specially on the memory, you can put a 120mm fan blowing air into the backplate, it helps a lot to reduce the temperature
Some people even put heatsinks on backplate, but a fan should be enough



You can find a lot of content if you search on google "reducing memory temperature rtx 3090", some people make a new backplate, some changed thermal pads, you can read to understand better, about safe temps to mine, but again, a simple fan can help you reducing temp
does the card thermal throttle itself if mem temp reach dangerous levels

yes sometimes dropping ram settings does better as it runs cooler.

if you are running windows you can do gpu-z software to see your memory temp.

under 90 is better and at 100-110 it will throttle
