how many of you guys are crypto miners? i'm trying out the nicehash method and i do have my afterburner settings set right (except for the core voltage because it's grayed out / not sure how to ungray it).

according to nicehash, my gpu overheats nearly every 10 seconds and is put on a cooldown. is that normal for something like that to happen so often?

I use phoenix miner on my 3090 for Ethereum, been cranking out about .01 per day or so. Get about $80 every 5 days or so.

I just started a few days ago using this guide:

It was easier than I thought to get going. And just copying this guy's OC settings I'm getting 62.5 MH/s with my 3070, after speeding up the fan curve some. It still drops off some, so I don't have it all figured out yet.

I'm at 60% power, minimum core, +1100 mem and I'm at 63mh with my 3070. Pulling like 125w

Fan steady at 45% and I never get over 50C

Dayum

I'm at 60% power, +90 core, +1500 mem; ~62.6 mh/s at 132w. With custom fan curve, it's sitting at 74% right now and GPU temp is 47°C.

Sounds like I need to drop the core clock?

Everything is on the way except my MOBO/CPU.


waiting for fresh shipment of x570 so hopefully they have the new BIOS flash and I dont have to deal with it.

I know i overpayed on most to simply have it now, and have it white, but frick it, I only wanted to spend 4 and only went to 4200.


ETA that is not the mouse/keyboard I went with, just the same price points so i can keep within budget.

Don't buy that headset. Get a Steel Series Arctis 7. And damn son did you overdo it or what?

I had the sennheiser game ones, and they were better than the steel series to me.. this is the newer version of those.


Def overkill on the CPU, but I talked myself out of the 5950 and 6900XT.


I wanted to go all white like this, no RGB please.
