What about newbie favorite, Unmineable

My Aurora R12 RTX3090 mining run at 55 celcius
But im afraid of the GPU Memory Junction Temp which is around 100 - 108 celcius
Is it safe?

Possible for newbie like me, i mean really damn new for all these things to replace the thermal pads/paste?
I swear i'll be very becareful, but im afraid i'll void the warranty or break something else
Budget is not a problem, just don't had any knowledge at all

Checked some youtube video
Ordered thermal paste, 3.5g for RM58 wow
Gonna break into my 3090 and mod it, hopefully i wont break anything
The 1st day i receive my R12 3090, i break the Sata power cable socket
I asked a technician friend come and check, end up using another power socket, so you know how new i am

ermmm, i open the dell r12 side panel, swing the psu to fully open, then it bengkok the HDD socket placed infront cover which HDD placed above of the front intake fan.
I asked my technician friend, they'd totally no idea for thermal paste gpu, and keep warning me that i'll void the dell warranty (actually will it void?)
Im gonna replace the thermal paste myself, wish me goodluck

Did you guys changing thermal pads on the GPU?
Im facing difficulties of selecting thermal pads thickness for Dell RTX3090
Anyone aware the thickness that i've to buy?

Anyone using nanopool?
How to set minimum payout?
My jason file -u MYWALLETADDRESS.WORKER/MYEMAIL
Payout setting at nanopool still incorrect password

Do you think keep expanding GPU currently is still good idea?
How do you determine when to 'stop' expanding GPU and collect profit?
Once ETH changed to PoS, what is your opinion for the profitability decrease to mine other coin?

I'm not familiar with mining alt coin like RVN or others
I can imagine/predict, once unable to mine ETH, there'll be a 'gamer revenge activity like 'lets say no to mining card' or etc.
And it'll earthquake for a month, then everything back to normal again, big mining farm will still get those discounted GPU and expand again
btw what's the lifespan of card like 3080/3090 ? let's say 24/7 working vram temp at 96 degree?
These 2 top tier card always have vram temp issue, while 3070 or below normally doesn't had these vram issue

edit: i did mining ETC on my laptop with 4gb card with GPU temp 52-59, if i change to mine alt coins, the settings is not an issue for me

So you guys doesn't worrying 3080/90 vram temp always stay around 90-100c ?

I did managed to lowered my 3080/90 from 108c vram temp to 86-96 by thermal paste & pad, but how 70c

I doubt if any big player modify all their 3080/90 to custom liquid cooling
What i research from random google search, 3080/90 vram below 90 is consider very decent
But 70c Please pm me if anyone can make 70c

Gonna place 3090 for the riser
Just wish to double confirm, it is not recommended to use 6 Pin > Sata from PSU to power up the riser (i have a free sata from PSU)
My 3090 will need 2 pcie 8 pin, but my PSU only have 2 x 6+2 pin
Can i use 8 pin splitter to 2 x 8pin to power up my 3090?
And another 6+2 pin for my riser?

Or, 2 x 8pin splitter, 1 for riser, 1 for 3090, another 8pin directly from PSU

Does CPU mining really make some profit?
I feeling like CPU working hard and the fan humming, making heat while making penny profit only after electricity cost

My hashrate for Intel i9 11900k RTM 1.1k hashrate, is that normal?
Used to mine XMR, approx 6k hashrate if i remember correctly
Simple search and i found out that seems intel are not friendly for RTM

That's why i doubt the profitability for CPU mining (Intel user)
So conclusion is ryzen is more efficiency then intel in terms of cpu mining
