With recent massive price dip on btc and eth, I dun think it make sense to purchase any overpriced gpu for mining now.
My little mining rig still running, but everyday i only can see my wallet balance in RM value is getting lesser cry.gif moneyflies.gif

I saw dell already added the i9 model and after applying  discount and cashback the cheapest i can get is for RTX3090 i9 model with watercooling is RM11,626.82. The safest and cheapest way to get Nvidia GPU without getting LHR and scalper 's price. Only 3090 is safe to buy IMO. Later i will find out how to watercool that 3090 inside that case.

I know we can choose the i5 model and sell it off, its ok i plan to keep the pc because i dont have i9 PC perhaps can use it for gaming too.
Only gripe is the 11 gen CPUs has less core compare to the previous 10th gen.

What do you think?

It is a good deal since u getting a complete pc instead of just one gpu for that price. Please share your review here after you got it, the mining hashrate, power consumption, memory temp and etc. laugh.gif

i'm still waiting for my unit that I ordered in April. It's going to be a long wait.

I did that once I thought can get a ready stock R12 from a scalper in Carousell ended up he is just affiliation with dell. I mean like that also got, advertise a product that it’s not yours and worse you dont have them.

haha ya, like that also can.

Found a youtube video regarding alienware RTX 3080 Repaste, reducing the memory temp from 110 to 75.

Just heard rumor recently that eth 2.0 will come out and we cant mine eth anymore.

The founder just mentioned the realistic timeline for merging PoS & PoW will be early 2022 at recent interview @1:34:40


But I guess it will always be late, so at least we have 6 more months to go. laugh.gif
After that just move to other profitable PoW coins

any miners purposely switch to nicehash so that he/she can short the market every 4 hrs, and buy btc down on all platforms. devil.gif

I'm using nicehash, but i din know it allow u to short.
i usually transfer btc to binance and trade there.
btc dipped below the support $30k, eth $1.7k, but i dun have extra $ to collect now

He means to short as in to sell. Long is to buy. Unlike CFD brokers, you cannot short what you don't have in nicehash.

ic, thanks for the clarification. i thought short as in something similar to binance crypto loan, u borrow first then pay interest later biggrin.gif

QUOTE(jett138 @ Jun 23 2021, 12:38 AM)
sell your btc earnings at 30 /31k buy back 29/28k repeat the cycle.
Since cost of miners is the electricity assuming you already ROI. you sell however you like still make money while creating fear in the market.
even if you missed the boat to buy back 28/29k you only lose transaction fees to buy back at 30/31k.
like just now easily you make 7 to 8% deducting fees just by shorting yourself.
whether to take another gamble to hedge is up to you on binance or other platforms that allows you to short. <-- risk higher, time it right make 2 sides. dont be greedy la
*
ya, u got the point.
so far i traded a few times and only profit once. the profit making was by "accident" because i was initially traded btc for usdt at $58k to put usdt into binance 6% flexi deposit. after putting for few days btc price dropped to $55k, so i traded usdt back to btc laugh.gif
the rest no luck, but only minor loss.

How the hell he has so may RTX3090 from the Aurora unit. No wonder Dell has no stock. He resells each for 10K per piece.  mad.gif

I'm using nicehash, so far btc received per day is down around 16%.
I checked 2miners eth network hashrate statistic, it is now 583.65th/s.
Will just let nicehash miner pick for me what to mine, fate will decide laugh.gif

Anyone here with aurora? mind telling me how to make other slot detect another GPU? i ve been searching the net and people keep answering irrelevant answers like space really tight to fit another GPU, you gonna have heat issues all that, bla bla ignoring the real question how to enable the other PCIE slot. Seems that Dell disabled them to prevent overheat issue or miner slotting multiple gpus inside and then claim warranty if they brick-ed the stock gpu due to overheating.

Orang tanya lain dia jawab lain.

Im gonna put less heaty GPU like 3060 and 5700xt inside before i waterblock-ed 3080 or another 3080 or 3090 when i get one. so space and heat issue will be dealth later. Now i want the other slots to be enabled first. How. Bios setting? Mods?

Now i baru know aurora got this kind of issue, thx for sharing, no, i dun have the answer u desired, since my motherboard can detect 3 gpu without issue (all nvdia card). just wait other sifu tell u the answer laugh.gif

How to get Dell stock RTX 3080 to hash full rate without applying new thermal paste and pad risking brick plus void warranty

1. Take it out and put it on a riser
2. Bring down the temp and blow the ac directly to the card

Sekian

interesting, actually dell already replaced my unit almost like new, it has new mobo, new GPU and RAM,

The PCIE 1 could detect my other GPU no problem (RX5700 XT , RX580 8Gb or even the Nivida RTX 3060) but not when they are in PCIE 4, I even tried PCIE2 and 3 with riser and adapter , still not detected by device manager.

I tried to boot using HiveOS with 2 GPUs : one in PCIE1 and another one PCIE4 , HiveOS couldnt detect anything in the latter slot
*
so most likely dell disabled those slot at hardware level or bios. Recently dell aurora gaming series were banned in some states of united state due to some stupid energy regulation.
So u should write to them regarding this disable slot bs if u haven't already.

Dell TS reply with another question

[attachmentid=10946105]

Looks like they really disabled the slot.

Wait i need to confirm, your aurora seems doesnt having this problem?, you can use the second slot?  i mean if you relocate your GPU into below slot it will post?

I don't have any dell aurora pc smile.gif
Just hope that they will provide you an easy solution to re-enable that additional slot, good luck laugh.gif

i already got it working, Aurora need manual diagnostic whenever introduce new hardware if they're not working. i didnt know that.

So now i can use all the slots and let the alien mine all earth resources and bring to their home planet in proxima centauri.

congrats rclxms.gif
ya, make alien your minion your slave, mine with full force bruce.gif laugh.gif

I using watt meter to record my mining rig power consumption. My little 3 gpu mining rig only consume around 450 watt per hour.
Planning to add in more gpu but now gpu price started to spike and more people are joining the party.

Heh, good news & bad news day~

bad news is crypto all red red today

good news is LHR is officially defeated

tried latest NBMiner 41.0 on my 3080Ti, it's getting a 120MHs now similar to a 3090 rclxms.gif tongue.gif
update:
seems I celebrated too early, seems it's still unstable, had random crashes over the night, guess I'll stick to other miners for the time being

Same here, switched back to Excavator.
But since everyone is getting 100%, the difficulty went up also, so far my profit went up a bit only (in term of btc/eth, not RM)
