Household of 5 (wife, 2 girls and mother in law). 1 Gig symmetrical. $79.99/month no cap. I work for an ISP, let me see if I can pull some stats on average monthly usage. This thread made me curious. We offer residential speeds of 100MB, 200MB, 500MB, 1G, 2.5G and 5G.

Bump and price drop to $525.

Bump and price drop on the 3080 Hybrid to $550.

The 3090 and 3080Ti have been sold. Price reduced on the 3080 FTW3 Hybrid. Also, here are some pics of it.

Just got of chat with MSI support. For their laptops, the only way to reset BIOS password is to send it to them. Fortunately this laptop is less than a year old, so its still under warranty. Still sucks I now have to way 10-30 business days to get it back. But I got a good deal on the laptop...

I found this thread over on the MSI forum: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/forgotten-bios-password.371032/ So if the "password clear" was disabled on my new (to me) laptop, does that mean I'm SOL since the password is stored in NVRAM?

So I just picked up a nice GE66 Raider laptop from another member here. He disclosed up front that it had a BIOS password set that he did not know. I figured I wouldn't need it. However, after installing a new NVMe (WD Back SN850 1TB) and trying to load load Win 11, I got a message that "this...

I just posted my 3 EVGA hybrids in the 4 sale section in case you're interested.

I have the following for trade: Description Model Purchase Date (directly from EVGA) Purchase price with shipping & tax RTX 3080 FTW3 HYBRID 10G-P5-3898-KR 6/8/2021 $967.65 Item has sold. Come with all original packaging and accessories. We each pay for shipping. Heat...

Once I see if the 4000 series or the new AMD GPUs will offer significant efficiency gains over the 3000 series, I'll decide if I want to sell any of my 3000 GPUs. I'll probably ditch my 3 EVGA hybrids (3080, 3080Ti and 3090) tho. I am running Awesome Miner, so I could do automatic profit...

Took my rigs offline day before yesterday and just got done cleaning them up and setting them aside for now. They owe me nothing. All 5 rigs have Delta 2400W PSUs. Zoomed out view showing the solar inverters that kept them fed: I'll be building up a serious kWh bank in my account with...

Yep. Down to $7.16/day now... Might start shutting them off at night. I need to leave then on during the day, at least around mid-day, because I would otherwise be pushing well over 50,000 watts through the 50 KVA transformer on the pole on the street from my solar inverters, which would...

Yeah, my $30/day on ERG yesterday went to $10 this morning to $8 just now. That's across 28 3000 series GPUs (mostly 3080 and up) and 8 5700XTs. Will probably shut them down this weekend for a well deserved cleaning after running for close to 2 years 24/7.

Well, I paid for my solar system with earnings from mining back in 2017/2018. I anticipate getting another 20+ years out of it. It would have already ROI'ed over the 7 years, had I paid from non crypto funds, since my install cost was less than $1/watt by doing all the work myself. I can buy...

If you consumption is the same, they are just raising your rates on you. What was your kWh during previous bill cycle vs. current one? As expected, my daily profit on ERG keeps dropping. Was $36 this morning, now $31/day. Would be fair to say diff and hashrate have gone up a "wee bit" since...

I switched my rigs from ETH to ERG before going to bed last night. I was making $70/day last night on ETH. Today, I seem to be holding steady at right around $35/day. So a drop of 50%, not nearly as bad as I expected, but it will probably take several days or maybe weeks before things truly...

I sold 8 of my 16 5700XTs about 4 months ago for around the same I paid for them back in the fall of 2020. They ROI'ed at least twice during that period. Keeping all my 3000 cards (1x 3060, 3 x 3060Ti, 4x 3070, 2x 3070Ti, 7x 3080, 6x 3080Ti and 4x 3090). I think it will be rough for a while...

My buddy wrote a PowerShell script that we both run that generates a list of all files that we each have. I then sent him my list and he generates two more scripts from the file listings. Both are xcopy batch files, one for what I need to send him, and another for what he needs to send me. We...

That has not been my experience. I'm running a pair of RAID60 arrays with 24x WD Red 6TB and 24x WD Red 8TB drives. Some are white label, others regular red labels. Mostly from BB during sales in the WD Easystore and MyBook or whatever they call them these days. Here's the RAID layout...

They are all either 8+6 or 8+8. You can of course use a Y-cable if you only have a single 8pin from your PSU, but probably not a good idea if you plan to drive the card hard.

Uploaded pics and test results for all 16 cards.

Got all the trouble cards flashed using hiveos and then ran Superposition again and updated the GPU-Z information. Much better: One of the ASRock and the Red Devil still score a little low, but I'm good with the numbers overall and those silly memory clocks are gone. Not only does Gigabyte...

Using hiveos was the ticket. GPU-Z now looks correct and I get the expected result in Superposition. I should be able to fix the rest of the GPUs that have odd timings now as well.

I tried the DOS version with all the -f options and still I get the same error: That 068 BIOS (E426) on Pulse cards 4 and 6 isn't even in the TechPowerUp database as being valid for a Sapphire Pulse. I'm going to try to upload that 068 BIOS to their database. EDIT: The 068 BIOS is in their...

Yeah, the issue is I can't do that in Windows, I get this even when using the -fp option: So I'll try the DOS version and then hiveos if all else fails I suppose.

Yep, most (if not all of the cards) have that switch. I tried both settings and got the same performance/clocks on both setting with the one Pulse I was testing with. I'll see if the other cards behave differently. All these cards were purchased used back in October 2020, so who knows what...

Appreciate the feedback. I did take a peak at the Techpowerup database, and I don't see different versions of the Pulse card. I may try flashing the "faster" bios using either hiveos or DOS. But it does seem like that's just the way the cards came since I put the original unmodified BIOS back...

I have 16 5700XTs that I flashed back to stock ROMs using the amdvbflash utility. I had the original rom images saved from when I did the memory straps. Once I was done, I ran the Superposition benchmark to check if the performance was as expected. It was for most of the cards, but a handful...

Listed my 16 5700 XTs for sale.

Its a 50,000 watt grid tied system with net metering. It also powers my house. Last year it generated 67,535 kWh, which works out to 185 kWh per day or 7,708 watts 24/7. So it just about covers my miners 100%. During the summer when the days are long and the sun stronger, my monthly bill is...

Here's where I'm at: Certainly not as good as it was, but still profitable. My power cost is $0 (solar) and I purchased the 5700 XTs back in November 2020 and most of the 3000 GPUs during the first half of 2020 at list price. Over the last month or so, I picked up some more 3000 GPUs used...

In the hive config file, I just set the rig id to like 99999999 and then ssh into the rig (username "user" and password "1") once it comes up and then do the following: #Host Rename sudo vi /etc/hostname sudo vi /etc/hosts hostnamectl set-hostname miner001.home #Allow root to login remotely #...

Interested in EVGA 3080. Would you consider $750?

Yeah, I ended up doing a fresh HiveOS image, but hardcoded a bogus rig ID and then installed the Awesome Miner Remote Agent on it and control it from AM. I then manually switched to R mode from the local console. Works like a champ now: I'm still having some issues adjust core voltage for...

I have 16 5700 XTs for sale as follows: (6 5) Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT 1 sold (3 1) Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT 2 sold (2) ASRock 5700 XT (4 3) Gigabyte 5700 XT 1 sold (1) PowerColor Red Devil 5700 XT All have been sold. Heat: https://www.heatware.com/u/105236/to

I tried bumping core to 1100 and vcore to 700, and that got me to 48 MH/s. Still way less than before. These cards ran 56.5 MH/s since December 2000 until a few days ago on Phoenix Miner. And on TRM for the last several days until I moved the rig today. Guess I'll tear it down and put it...

I moved a couple of 5700 XT cards to a Hive rig and it ran great for 24 hrs: I then moved it to another location and fired it back up, and I lost 12 MH/s per GPU: No amount of rebooting beings it back to the correct hash rates, nor does reseating the GPUs (they are both plugged directly...
