Well if it was true cost 769 + 54 tax = 823 and direct from EVGA I would have got 4 pieces
I got just the one and paid the 856.
I will hook it up with the threadripper 3970x.
The unit should pull 400-500 watts and will run in my house as a space heater until April.
I am also waiting for the better amd but I am not a fan of either. I just want good cards.
I stopped mining at nicehash due to poor stability.
I have almost every rig point at viabtc.com it is a very stable 1.85gh
Once I figure out which I like more of I will push to get 20x of them.
I will be selling off all the 1080ti's
Are you mining Monero with the Threadripper?
I'm still having stability issues on NiceHash with SimpleMinerOS restarting on a regular basis and it's frustrating. I've been mining on Ethermine, but that means that I'm accumulating ETH instead of BTC.
I didn't bother going to VIABTC because I'm only running 1 rig with 4 cards and it will take me months to get a payout.
1.85 gh on viabtc takes 10 days to earn a coin. it will go to my coinbase account. i will cash it when it comes. not an eth fan. I still have two coins stuck in an old wallet which I will most likely never recover.
I should try to recover them again. have not tried since last year.
i mine monero with my two thread rippers.
22000 for the 3960
28000 for the 3970
i have amd 5500 card on each rig.
they earn a small profit
they heat my house
the threadrippers clock at 1.05 volts and at 3200 freq
the amd run 25 mh at 70 watts.
the two rigs earn about 4-5 a day and burn about 15 kwatts so if you have 20 cent power they make 1-2 a day and provide heat.
I have not turned my furnace on since march.
Once it gets to 35 f i need to turn some heat on.
but all of the above cost $$$ close to 4k . now I sold older gear to help lower that bill.
and will likely sell these in april to upgrade to newer gear.
these are more for bragging rights then for profit as my home power is 10 cents for five months a year and 18 cents for 7 months a year.
