For most people, an 8x3060 Ti rig that is powered off is more profitable than one which is actually mining.
Cool. How many of these CPUs is he buying? Don't forget that he's going to need a PSU, mobo, RAM, and boot drive for each one. With free...
I'm certainly no expert on RAM timings, but aren't there settings for refresh (tREFI, maybe others?) that could need to be reduced if the frequency is reduced, to avoid too long period between refreshes? I.e. say the refresh period should be 7 µs...
No it isn't. It's not hard to be more profitable than a 3060Ti setup currently. Even with crypto near ATH's, GPU mining is making pennies a day at best and would never meet a ROI. You might have some people with cards left over from the end of...
Part of me wonders if they purposely "leak" these price points to random press to gauge community reception. Then if they find that most people get over the ridiculous acceptance hump and gradually accept it, they'll have a much easier launch. As...
I also took the plunge late last year via the Best Buy open box for $508. They pulled a few out as there were about 10 open box at the time so I was able to cherry pick. I think when they launched, people thought it was plug and play and were...
I don't get it. I'll just have to remember the timings off the top of my head when it comes time to update the bios.
If I get time to play around, I'm going to enable XMP and then set it to 4800 and see if it will boot. I just find it strange...
After the first few times it wouldn't boot, I unmounted everything and checked. Running it with an AIO. The paste was even and there were no bent pins. I almost swapped in the old CPU just to check it, but I'm in the process of selling it and I...
I've been using a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX for the past several months with a 7700x. I have a set of Corsair DDR5 6600 (2x16GB, SK Hynix). I don't have the box for it in front of me, but I'd bet it's regular XMP Intel stuff (non-EXPO). I...
It's sad to see so much coverage of such an obvious trolling of our hilariously weak tech news industry.
1) This isn't a problem.
2) There is no reason for AMD to solve something that isn't a problem.
3) The $3/day of profit is a total lie to...
This is a blip on the radar. If you've followed crypto mining on CPU for any length of time, it's profitable for 2-3 weeks and then the shitcoin goes away. The only really stable CPU minable coin, XMR, isn't generally CPU profitable. We had...
