miner, ran outta space in the title but yes sir, I saw a miner at 43 years of age and my interest in this industry has exploded. I was dead from years of telling people they are not correcting the same mistakes I have been telling them about every year for 20 years.
So, here I am a n00b. I like it. I was a regular contributor at Overclockers.net in the early 2000s and while I am getting to this party very late, oh there is so much more to be done. I came to that scene when we were overclocking and water cooling our GPUs, and had been doing CPUs since they were created, right? I am one of the first people to accidentally glue the processor in the socket with sealant for the cooling block insulating material, no sweating heh.
soon TM been around for a long time huh? Yes, it has.
As I said, I am excited to see what is happening on the techno front in this community. *F* the scams for a minute, they are always gonna be there, but I am excited about what you are teaching me, and thank you.
Point me to the right places, I know how to UTFSE but I have to sit very close with my eyes almost ON the 48" monitor; sometimes I miss a bit of text ;*&
I bought the S4, liked the form factor, liked it coming with a PSU, and checked it was B2 with the corrected PSU. It is a loud summabich which I love. The white noise is part of what has kept me sane for twenty years. I want to purchase another to put in it for OC. I understand the risks with warranty and the fact they claim 10%. Anything else I should worry about? What about the amount of voltage and frequency, what have people been using? I can not find crap on the net, and I have UTFSE! I understand most are not Ocing, and it is probably a few hobbyists, but come on, I have not found anything consistent. What PSU should I buy. Money is important, but I buy the right component. I know what being cheap does for us all, I want to buy smart. Something say I am tired of playing with Ocing the S4 in a week, now I buy two SP20s used. Or 3, how does it play in?
Speaking of that, I want to buy my next unit within 7 days. I am researching hard. 3 or 4 S5s from BITMAIN, or 2, or go spoon? The temps tell me spoon. Remember noise does not matter to me, it is purely the best bang for the buck.
I am not afraid of used, I simply do not want to buy used and it cost me more to run it in power than they make in coin.
I am with BTCguild, seemed liked a solid spot. I am always on the lookout for a family spot to plant roots, but at the same time you have to be true to yourself and if there is somewhere else which is going to make a difference to me feeding the kiddos, please tell me about it.
Thanks for entertaining my post, I hope I get to know many of you as I have already started picking things up. - Peace
