same, did around 3 hours with my 5850 and got 0.14 bitcoin. I used it when that amount was worth $150, had I held it, it would have been $7-8K when ibtc hit $65k.
I don't even know what I did with it, lost the address/key everything, was like this is some dumb shit back then lol
Yeah its basically free money
My card gets really high Mem temps if I dont power limit it.
Which card do you have?
Pretty sure it's a 3080 and he hasn't replaced the pads.
Yeah its a Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC
If it's a full block that covers the memory chips as well then it would definitely help.
Yeah but still needing rear thermal pads I presume.
Is that 95mh combined?
Yeah, her 5700xt does 50 while my 1080ti can get around 43-45, though using 30 or so more watts of power. This is also using NH, I don't care about mining enough to do any of the other methods.
Oof, yeah, it seems Gigabyte must have used some really crappy pads on their cards. Replacing the thermal pads shows a huge improvement in memory temps.
Im getting 70-80 on my 3080 because Im capping it 92C mem temps
Seems like a lot of expense to water-cool. Im just going to buy thermal pads and paste and see what that does first.
That's one nice thing at least. Both of our pcs are custom looped for the hobby side of it. So the gpus/CPUs stay nice and cool doing their work.
Does the CPU actually earn anything. I did mine separate for a few minutes on NiceHash and didnt look like it was doing anything.
The CPUs are adding another 15 percent of what the gpus are earning. Fair enough since the ryzens are very power efficient.
No it is not. It is doing 15kh/s not 15mh/s. Cpu mining is pointless
The btc payout is 10-15 percent of what the gpu payout is.
When I ran it on my 5950x NH showed it running at 15kh/s and barely bumped my profit. It only loaded up 8 of my cores. It was sitting at 50% while mining. Didn't seem worth it for the extra heat and power it was using.
Well electricity depends on your cost. Mine is around 0.12/kwh. Heat? Well I run an oversized loop on both computers anyways so *shrug*.
Mines like .08/kwh. Still even with my custom loop minging on GPU and CPU really warms up the room. It is perfectly fine during the winter time but not atm. Especially once summer hits.
I mean that's also a pretty hot cpu compared to a 5600x
I mean that's also a pretty hot cpu compared to a 5600x
But yeah, it's not amazing, but I'm running a pretty small setup so the percentage added on top isn't too tiny. For some passively generated money I wouldn't quite call it pointless.
Edit - the 5950x is showing 1.70 or so daily profit for me. I'd gladly be ruining that, but that would require me buying one. That wouldn't fly with my wife
Thanks, and that's a HGE temp difference!
Safer in what way? GPU mining is far more profitable
. First power bill was only ~$30 higher at $0.101kw/h
Looks like the 6700 xt isnt any good for mining 192 bit bus speed
How much mh does the 6700 xt get for you?
I get 47MH/s on it. In low intensity mode I get like 46MH/s, so it's nice for that because you can still use your computer while mining. I used More Power Tool to reduce the minimum voltage to about 650-680mV or so and then downclocked the core to about 1250MHz. Fast memory timings on Windows and you're basically good to go. You can overclock the memory but I didn't notice a huge difference.
If I run multiple cards on one pc do they need to be the same breed? I mean like all AMD or all Nvidia?
It looks like Ill be giving the 6700 xt to my daughters BF
Yes
