You cannot fully power the device off using SSH. There is no way to turn it full off without using a switched PDU or unplugging the miner itself.

Note that I said 'official' discount lol

Just run linux and all those garbage windows driver problems and other issues will go away instantly.

The software from getpimp.org is great if you want a turn key fully featured linux setup. I run it on over 500 machines myself.

If this is a service you are trying to offer, you might want to flesh out your post with more information. Also you need to post it in the marketplace under service announcements so it will be seen by people looking for this kind of service.

Man you guys are so hilarious.

All of your care about coins being GPU minable is pure and simple greed.

Try not to  forget what crypto is for, its not just mining profits....

You said the middle "board" is loose. It is normal the the boards move around a bit, what you need to worry about specifically is loose heatsinks and you didnt make it clear if that is what you meant.

I suggest you look in the proper subforum, there is probably an answer there already. This is for bitcoin mining. Altcoins are about halfway down the main page.

Make sure when you are shaking it you are holding onto the hashin boards themselves as they rattle around in the case like that normally. If you still hear that noise you might have a loose heatsink, if thats the case you do not want to power it up without repairing the board first.

 Once the card reaches around 83°C, the clocks level out at around 1705 MHz, which is still 100 MHz higher than the base clock.

^^^^still higher than base clock, and those few mhz make basically no difference in the real world.

Here is one of my GTX 1070 machines as an example:

ETH:

GPU0 26.668 Mh/s - GPU0 t=82C fan=96%
GPU1 26.694 Mh/s - GPU1 t=74C fan=81%
GPU2 26.685 Mh/s - GPU2 t=69C fan=64%
GPU3 26.673 Mh/s - GPU3 t=82C fan=96%
GPU4 26.685 Mh/s - GPU4 t=81C fan=93%

All cards are within 0.03Mh or so......does that really look like a bunch of thermal throttling? I can post hundreds of other miner status lists showing the same thing.

Everything im reading says that this zeus miner is for scrypt. That means it does not mine bitcoin and you should be posting in the altcoin section about them.

You should never recommend Vega cards to anyone. They are complete piles of crap, you are stuck using windows and mining nothing but XMR with them. Everyone should stay as far away from them as possible.

The thermal cutoff is over 90c. Not sure why people say they throttle that low when they dont.

You should ask this in the altcoin section. This section is for bitcoin, which has nothing to do with coin staking.

You need to put this into the altcoin section, this is for bitcoin only.

That being said, GPUs are not tied to a single algo, there are hundreds that GPUs can run. You can find more information in the section you should be posting in.

You would be pulling 1800w out of a 1600w PSU, it would be a really bad idea to try.

If you check the marketplace you will find plenty of coupons for sale. Give that area a try, this is not the place for purchase requests.

Here ya go.

3% is the max official discount they offer on large orders.

Why not? The only 3gb cards with issues were running windows which makes some forced memory reservations. Run linux and you can mine ETH just fine still

You want to use a thermal epoxy.
