Nvidia CMP 170HX Testing for 190MH/s

[Miner2048]

We have been asked to take this down due to a current NDA. Sorry all!

We can however release the firmware for review.

If it does 190 Mhsh for real then it means it is like there are 2 x RTX 3080 in here or near that.That is a lot of power,I wonder what the power consumption will be together with the price.We can easily find right now (at least where I am) people who are disappointed in mining and are selling a RTX 3080 non LHR 1500-1800 EUR each.Hopefully the price of this card won't be more than 3000 EUR otherwise what's the point,beside that these cards as far as I know do not have the best of the cooling.

The Team black Miner v1.11 which is optimized for the RTX cards by opensource developers, can almost do 140MHASH on the rtx 3090

It's the CMP version of the top end Ampere Quadro, with a price to match.
It's hard to say if they will be worth it with RTX prices so inflated.
At normal pricing RTX class CMP would probably be a better value but if Quadro prices
aren't so artificially inflated they might be worth it.

But then again it's difficult for hobby miners to get CMP, the big farms hord them all with
volume deals.

looking at CMP 170HX pics...does it have only one pcie 8 pin power?

seems like it will run at around 200W, efficient, dense and seems like it will run at cooler temps than gddr6x's...i'd say it is a good mining card

AMD just have to make one with video output and they will win the competition LOL

also LOL at 3090 at 362watts...that is one hell of a very hot (vrams) card

2x 8 pin mutex can deliver 300 WATT, this cable have to be special, or it will melt.

seems to cost around $4000

Mutex? Spending too much time buried in code?

I wouldn't use a Molex cable for more than 1x8 pin. They only have 6 wires to the PSU.
I'ts better to split an 8 pin cable to 2x8.

In the case of these CMPs they seem to be under connected with only 1x8pin while the bigger
RTX draw over 300W and often have 3x8 pin.

I would put these cards in a closed server case with some 4000RPM fans that can chop a finger off.

[FP91G]

I also do not understand how these video cards should be cooled if they are installed in an open case.
If external fans are used, they are very high-speed and noisy. This is the same as the noise from three ASICs.
If you do a review, then write about the noise level.

if you think about it, there are 2x8pin cable that has only 1x8pin connected to the power supply, it seems doable.

it is not molex in the pic, but 2x8pin pcie merged to 1x8pin and the wires in 1x8pin are really thicker than those in the 2x8pin.

[JayDDee]

if you think about it, there are 2x8pin cable that has only 1x8pin connected to the power supply, it seems doable.

Precisely, PSUs have single 8 pin and double 8 pin PCIe cables that are interchangeable so making a double 8
out of a single is trivial, as long as the splitter is of good quality. The cables should also have genuine 8 pin PSU ports
and 8 wires. Some cheap PSUs cheat on one or the other.

Molex cables are typically 6 wires and SATA sometimes only 4 so they have proportionally lower capacity.

Tk like this is an adult video, then I'll make a picture
If you've put in so much effort to show everyone your farm, add a multimeter to the video so you can see the real power draw from the wall.

And then beginners are used to saying that Hive OS shows real consumption from the wall.

[Miner2048]

You see the wattage in the main picture do you not? 1500 watts per hour, plus 105 for the MB/CPU...

Ok, I was curious to see the exact power consumption from the wall.
What's going on there? Does the NDA prevent you from posting mining test results?
Russian miners posted these tests on YouTube ten days ago.

If you look for information on YouTube, you will find many tests for this video card.
