Well it still works pretty decently, it just struggles with some programs i need for work and college, and also getting barely 10-30 fps on min settings in games is dissapointing 🤣

#

But couldnt expect more from a 6 years old laptop

keen nacelle
#

Yeah I was gonna just use it for valorsnt and mc lol

#

I've still got my 8 yo laptop

#

4030u

#

7*

steep basin
#

I plan on saving this one too

keen nacelle
#

Yeah its nice to have smthn to use when you can't use your pc

steep basin
#

Yeah it does the job, pretty nice to have when u have to move around a lot

#

Also i am attached to it for the sentimental value too

keen nacelle
#

Fair

#

The laptop I have was my first ever piece of technology

#

My grandma got it for herself but it was too complicated for her so she gave it to me for hannukah

#

Played the hell outta minecraft with it

#

My auto correct is so awful

steep basin
#

Thats nice, interesting, cuz mine was also a gift from my grandparents 😄

keen nacelle
#

Lmao

steep basin
#

Gotta value that stuff 😄

keen nacelle
#

Surprised it even works still

#

Still got the original hdd in it, been debating replacing it with an ssd

steep basin
#

Why not just remove the optical drive and get an ssd next to the hdd

#

Thats what i did a year ago

keen nacelle
#

Don't think it has the space or the slot on the mobo

#

It's an hp probook (15?)

vital oriole
#

You could buy an hdd caddy that replaces the dvd drive, if it uses sata connection

steep basin
#

U could open it and check, i had a sata slot so it was pretty simple

vital oriole
#

smth like these

steep basin
vital oriole
#

I have one myself

keen nacelle
#

Pretty sure the screws are glued in actually

#

I'll have yo check when I get home

#

The last 2 times I opened a laptop I broke them (they were scrap so I wasn't exactly trying to be gentle)

steep basin
#

That makes it harder, but u can always just try and check, if u are using it still its pretty worth getting the ssd

vital oriole
#

Probooks never had glued screws

keen nacelle
#

Oh cool

vital oriole
#

They're kinda like

#

Thinkpads but hp

keen nacelle
#

Sick

#

I'll have to check when I get home

vital oriole
#

One time I almost picked a probook up ngl, it was a 4441s

#

14 inches

#

But I'm glad I didn't despite how cheap it was

#

It had i5 3230M and like HD 7650M

keen nacelle
#

How much?

vital oriole
#

Like 130 bucks or so

keen nacelle
#

Ah

vital oriole
#

It was in 2019

#

Thing looked brand new

keen nacelle
#

Yeah even then I wouldn't go for it

vital oriole
#

yeah

#

I managed to extend budget to like 300

keen nacelle
#

Wonder what my laptop would sell for

#

Like 20$ lmao

vital oriole
#

Took some talking but it went well

keen nacelle
#

Whatd you end up with?

vital oriole
#

4710hq and 850m

keen nacelle
#

Nb

vital oriole
#

it's meh but certainly a huge step up from i3 2310m i had that died

#

no dgpu, just igpu

keen nacelle
#

Yeah lol

vital oriole
#

I conviced dad quite easily with this laptop

#

Got it since march 2019 or so

keen nacelle
#

There was this weird *** person I found last night (like, creepy wanting discord kitten vibes) who said he makes 70cents/15min mining ergo with a 3070

vital oriole
#

But I didn't know it would have so bad thermals, ah well

keen nacelle
#

Different server

vital oriole
#

Least I cope with fps caps lmao

#

Can't let gpu run 100%

cerulean rover
#

could just be lucky with blocks yaknow

vital oriole
#

Else heat would rise so much

#

I also have to have cpu at base clock all day

#

2.5ghz

#

I legit considered 2.0 but I figured it'd suffer hard in games

keen nacelle
#

Foxy you ever tried mining ergo?

vital oriole
#

na

#

I mine eth on nicehash

cerulean rover
#

mining is eh

#

very variable

keen nacelle
#

I tried it for a bit last night and I got 10cents the first 14min but then it dropped off

#

Ima stick with my gminer mining eth

#

15*

vital oriole
#

probably block luck

keen nacelle
#

Probably

cerulean rover
#

for example my eth payouts from the past 24hrs in 15minute blocks

#

some are better than others

keen nacelle
#

But like, the first thing he dmed me was a guy kissing a sleeping girl

vital oriole
#

but atm

keen nacelle
vital oriole
#

eth is the best to mine no matter what

cerulean rover
#

I could tell you 0.13$ every 15 minutes

vital oriole
#

as long as you have 6gb+ vram

keen nacelle
#

I use gminer cli+

cerulean rover
#

but I don't

cerulean rover
#

iirc salad runs phoenix

keen nacelle
#

Well it can

#

I use salad, earnings go into salad through cli

vital oriole
#

do you guys think mining will thrive once eth goes pos?

keen nacelle
#

Yes

#

Oh

cerulean rover
#

many other things to mine

keen nacelle
#

Pos?

vital oriole
#

proof of stake

cerulean rover
#

proof of stake

vital oriole
#

effectively no mining

keen nacelle
#

Ah

cerulean rover
#

but yea stuff like ergo and rvn will prob just take over

vital oriole
#

you stake 32 eth i think

cerulean rover
#

transition over

keen nacelle
#

I make about 4.5$/day rn

vital oriole
#

ye

#

people will move to ergo or rvn

cerulean rover
#

or new coin

vital oriole
#

both might even be close lmao

cerulean rover
#

who knows

keen nacelle
#

I was gonna use nicehash but it locked me out

vital oriole
#

f

#

nicehash is fine for me

cerulean rover
#

rip

keen nacelle
#

Didn't feel like going through the trouble

#

Also

vital oriole
#

well just mine eth straight atm

keen nacelle
#

I get lower hashrate with nicehash

vital oriole
#

there's time

sturdy marsh
#

what is a good music bot

vital oriole
#

jan is when eth drops mining

keen nacelle
#

58mh/s instead of 60.5 or higher

I have a 5950x already so I'm looking at picking em up.

red panther

Bb shows 2k.

heady turtle
#

Not worth more than 1800 absolute max

keen nacelle
#

Yeah the msrp is 2k

#

At that point you can get a 3090 for around 2.2k

red panther
#

Isn't the strix going to clock higher under water

#

Because it's not powering 12gb vram?

#

I guess that's like

#

0.00001%

#

Thanks squad

heady turtle
#

Not more than other cards anyway

#

Not worth paying over 2k for anyway

There is a service offered fizing them for 30 bucks

Pcie gen 4 Mobo > pcie gen 3 riser > pcie gen 4 GPU can still cause issues right? Wanna make sure I have the right advice

Person just upgraded to a 11700k on a Z590I board and now their GPU doesn't display out. It worked with the 10700k when everything was still pcie gen 3. So I'd assume that's probably the issue, The riser cable being gen 3.

#

I’ve got a theory to run by you guys. I really only need a 3060 to run the games I want to play, but the only cards I’m able to get in my cart are 3080ti’s or more expensive bundles

#

Would it be a good idea to try mining on a better card to make up the difference on the higher price?

#

I’ve never done it before so I have no idea what the profit margins are after the expenses

brave violet
#

what you mean? Are you been fortune to get 3080ti on shuffle and such?

red elm
#

That and bundles that pop in and out of stock every now and then

keen nacelle
red elm
#

Idk what that means 😅

#

What’s an ihr card

keen nacelle
#

Do you know about the hashrate limiters?

#

Ok

#

So lhr is low hashrate

#

Any card that is made after ~may is lhr

#

However

#

The hashrate limiter only targets eth, bitcoin, and eth mining pool

#

So if you mine ravencoin with a different pool (nicehash) you'll get decent earnings

#

Not as much as a full hashrate version of that card would mining eth, but close enough

red elm
#

That limiter kinda seems anticonsumer

#

but that’s a convo for another time

keen nacelle
#

It was bc miners are going after 30series a lot to mine eth

#

But agreed to a certain extent

red elm
#

Are there brands that are better at maintaining temps for this or all about the same

keen nacelle
#

Eh

#

Just avoid ventus 2x and gigabyte for the most part

red elm
#

Oh ok thanks, I just don’t want to ruin my card before I get to enjoy it

keen nacelle
#

I've mined on my gpu quite a bit

#

The longest was probably like 3 weeks straight

#

I make up to 120$ a month not counting energy costs

#

130*

red elm
#

That’s a pretty big factor to not include lol

keen nacelle
#

Not really

#

Probably net 100$ a month minimum

#

Just make sure you change the oc settings properly

#

For raven mining I'm not too sure how to oc properly

#

Since I mine eth

red elm
#

Is over clocking needed for mining? I’ve never done it before either

keen nacelle
#

Raven uses both core and memory for mining

#

Eth uses mem

red elm
#

Oh I didn’t know that

keen nacelle
#

Yeah

#

Power limit is also important, as is good case airflow

#

I keep my gpu fans on 90%, but thats bc mine are relatively quiet

#

For most people 80% is better

red elm
#

So I should also not just stick to the stock case fans

keen nacelle
#

Depends on what stock fans and case

#

For eth mining I keep my core around 50 or lower, but rvn mining as i said is different

#

Core will be higher since it's being used

red elm
#

It’s a fractal design

keen nacelle
#

I'm not a case or airflow guy

#

Pato is but he might be asleep

#

Idk what time it is in Ireland

#

There's a lot of others too

#

Mr111, toppercent, alec

#

How many fans do you have?

#

And what are they set to (intake and outtake)

red elm
#

I think it’s two in the front and one in the back

#

I didn’t change the directions though

keen nacelle
#

Probably gonna want more fans, even if you're not mining

#

I tried 2 stock fans in my pc

#

Didn't go so well

#

When I added 2 artic p12 pwm Temps dropped 10+ degrees on both gpu and cpu

red elm
#

Hope I can get a fan bundle again then

keen nacelle
#

Check the artic p12 pwm 5 pack on amazon

red elm
#

Most of them are Ram or moniters

keen nacelle
#

I think they were having a sale on them

red elm
#

Just checked it out, they’ve got adjustable speed too

#

Sounds good

keen nacelle
#

Yeah thats what pwm is

red elm
#

Oh 😅

#

Sorry first build

keen nacelle

I believe it adjusts automatically but don't quote me on that

#

2080TI - Gigabyte gaming OC version-

#

Since an update a few months ago it seems to run really hot

#

anyone else dealing with this?

#

It usually sits at 70-73C even on Ultra- but even on games like For the King it is pushing 80-83

#

Am using Afterburner as a guide,- Temp Monitor it is not OC or curved by me at all

#

I used Nvidia settings and made sure it was default on everything

#

I have plenty of airflow- Fans are spinning and have 2 intake fans even bringing in fresh air directly onto the unit..

#

Anyone else seeing this or hear about the same issue? Setting that got changed?

It's a GPU, nothing special in general. Average in most ways. Memory might get hot when mining.

True yeah, they're scalping their own GPUs on the website

500$ more than my 3080 ti

livid idol
#

Also $750 over MSRP

normal hawk

Ye

livid idol

And that's the inflated MSRP

normal hawk
#

Mine was like 1450$ lol.

verbal crown
#

Damn

#

I’ve been debating between getting a evga or zotac gpu

#

Most likely a 3060ti

livid idol
#

You just have to take what you can find in your budget right now tbh

verbal crown
#

Like I can spend 900 on it but I’m worried about is zotac the Walmart brand of gpu

normal hawk
#

Nah they aren't that bad

#

My brother has a ZOTAC 3080 and it runs fine

livid idol
#

Like I said, it's a GPU. Nothing special but nothing especially bad.

#

Now if it was a lesser brand like Palit...

brave violet
#

Also, zotac does do queue and their decently fast. Their GPU there if you get the standard version are FE price or few hundredth more. The Halo are the top of the line @verbal crown
I did the queau on Friday and yesterday, you may have to be fast to get the cheaper GPU those sold out quick.

no idea. Just got in queue for fun and see

Well when they have 3080s listed at $1600 what else do you call it?

Would you prefer they get the profit or middleman kid who flips it on ebay?

Nvidia/vendors should take the profit imo

I'd prefer they go unsold so they don't list them so high

But fat chance of that right now

what do u guys think of the new shuffle look, i like it

scalping is artificial increase in scarcity, except its not artifical snd thers also a huge increase in demand

twilit mirage
#

How tf

rustic pulsar
#

yep

#

only 2 where GPUs tho

compact panther
#

scalping = artificial increase in scarcity (i.e. buying all the tickets to a sports game or music show)

#

the scarcity does not change with higher msrp

#

this is simply low supply and high demand = high price

in the current market im not selling for less than I bought it for

#

sold 3060 for 580, bought for 460

#

I will always start my bids at or below what I bought it for though

#

I think talking about selling GPUs in general is ok

torpid garden
#

more for their products than their actual worth at MSRP because people are willing to pay higher prices
This is faulty logic

cerulean rover
#

worth = what people are willing to pay

#

wat

#

I'm just saying that's the faulty bit, you do you with the discussion

south solstice
#

I went to Microcenter today and got a 6700xt

normal hawk
#

I agree with you rommy 🤷‍♂️ ZOTAC and PNY are charging the same price that scalpers do. Which not only reenforces the scalpers pricing but also prevents those who would potentially be able to get one for the MSRP not try to get one from them.

#

Regardless of their "assumed worth" due to the shortage

south solstice
#

i got mine open box for $760 PowerColor Red Devil 6700 XT

normal hawk
#

Most other AIB's for RTX 30 series restock for a viable price which can end up in the hands of people using them for gaming or mining. Who wouldn't want to spend 2000$ on a card that should be 1000$ to 1400$

#

Like it doesn't help anyone other than ZOTAC and wealthy people when they overcharge in that sense.

#

Sure they stay in stock longer, but so do AMD cards. Because they aren't selling for what it's really worth.

south solstice
#

Vote with your wallets is all you can do

#

Yeah it was a return. I think it was returned for being too massive for their case

Nice nice

All they did was scan the little yellow tag on the thing and it did it like a coupon

it clears my noctua fans by like a few mm

Things are worth what people are willing to pay, it's as simple as that.

Which 3080 ti did you get

Is a 3080 worth 1600 to me personally? No

Rommy your score is super good.

torpid garden

Ok yeah - that shouldn't be popping a breaker - maybe that breaker needs replacing, $15 at the hardware store

#

It's possible your microwave is faulty and is drawing too much current - but doesn't sound likely. Could test with a kill-a-watt

#

Eh - you don't want to do it that way

#

You could measure current, but I don't recommend that

Unless you also have a current clamp

If you're in the US tell them you're calling an electrician and you'll be deducting the cost from rent

If that doesn't get them off their butts you can legally deduct critical repairs from rent

torpid garden

#

Yeah typically the mere threat of getting someone to fix it is enough, since it'll cost them more to not do it themselves

torpid garden

Tell them you smell something burning coming from the outlet, ez

Tell them about that, fire bad

It's certainly more expensive for them if the whole building burns down

ignore brillo's sub - wrong card

normal hawk

Tbf, 5950x has 3.4ghz base speed

torpid garden
#

Base speed hasn't been relevant in a long time

normal hawk
#

True true

torpid garden
#

It'll be boosting well over 4g throughout the bench

normal hawk
#

Don't tuned 9900k get close(ish) to 5.0ghz?

torpid garden
#

Almost all can do at least 5.0 all core for gaming, yes

normal hawk
#

Yeee

torpid garden
#

I mainly meant mem tuning for time spy cpu score - core is easy, just setting two numbers lol

#

Will also benefit greatly from dual vs single rank, but you can still do well with single

normal hawk
#

Oh my cpu was above 4.5 the entire time during the test.

torpid garden

Most 9700k can do 5.0 all core

What cooling?

You run 4.7 manual?

That's higher than my GPU score 🥲
I'm not bitter

Yes. 3090 gimp edition.

Oof

3080 ti and 3090 should have close scores though tbf right? Aren't they the same chip

livid idol

Not totally, no. The 3080 ti is different in subtle ways like less cores and it has a mining lock built in, the 3090 doesn't.

normal hawk

Ah

solemn panther

true

but for the average gamer theyre basically the same on frames. no one is going to care for a 10 fps or less difference

I could prolly find a link,but I'm pretty sure it's 800$ now

The build i got is now 2k but with a 3060 (alteast the same amszon listing lol)

I asked him if he wanted me to build it but he said no, so he bought the prebuilt. I did give him my 2060 for his 1660 super however which we put in the PC i built my youngest brother.

Would the gaming x trio 3090 be good for a kingpin bios? It has the same number of hdmi and displayport and has the same amount of power connectors. But i heard some bad reviews about it

kingpin bios on an aircooled card? sounds like a bad idea lol

#

isn't that basically meant to be used with ln2?

late haven
#

It has a waterblock

obtuse haven
#

oh interesting, that's a misleading name

#

nope, its not a misleading name. you waterblocking it yourself?

#

personally i wouldn't buy anything other than evga or asus, asus for their superior product quality and evga due to their superior customer support. but that's just me. no personal experience with msi cards tho, but i'd imagine as long as you can keep the temps under control it'd be ok?

keen nacelle
#

Kinda a shortage rn

#

Can't be picky really

obtuse haven
#

yeah i would agree, except we're talking about a 3090

keen nacelle
#

Still hard to find at msrp

#

And if you're water blocking it does it really matter?

CS in general seem to suck recently

Didn't evga have like hundreds if not thousands of gpus die from a single game? Lol

Tho tbf that wasn't evgas fault iirc

obtuse haven

it wasn't just evga

cerulean rover
#

not just evga

keen nacelle
#

The game was made wrong or smthn?

#

Oh

obtuse haven

and it was, apparently, an early batch of 3090/3080ti's

EVGA said it was bad soldering

keen nacelle
#

Ah

#

who knows what it was for the rest

Heavy overclocking

cerulean rover
#

eh, tbf gaming x trio vbios is a bit low on the pl

#

380w it seems

late haven
#

Yeah

obtuse haven
#

yeah why not just throw a 3090 hydrocopper vbios on there? i think that's 450w max

late haven
#

I want a 550w bios

cerulean rover
#

kp is 1000w iirc

#

something like the ftw3 hybrid is 500w iirc

keen nacelle
#

Prolly more lowkey

late haven
#

I have a 1200w psu lyin around and i need to put it to good ise

keen nacelle
#

Fair enough

#

I ran my system on a 500w for a while bc skytech is word I cant say

#

White rated too

#

Supposed to be a 600w gold

cerulean rover
#

anyways fun bit of msi is msi warranty allows you to change cooler

#

and they allow oc iirc

obtuse haven
#

the only part that sucks about that is when you wanna rma something and have to reassemble it with the stock cooler 😅

cerulean rover
#

yea but makes sense

obtuse haven
#

ye

cerulean rover
#

also side note

#

stock vbios on kp might actually be 480w

#

lemme see which one is 1kw

obtuse haven
#

xoc bios i think

#

is the fully unlocked one

cerulean rover
#

found it

#

was looking through the database for which one was the 1kw one

Pretty sure that 1kw disables all thermal protection - don't screw up your mount

#

ya

obtuse haven
cerulean rover
#

interestingly, lower boost clocks in the vbios, but the point is to oc it sooo

#

Would there be an xoc 3090 super card released?

#

I heard it was confirmed and would arrive q4 this year or q1 next year

cerulean rover
#

don't think 3090 super in general is confirmed yet

torpid garden
#

There will always be faster/newer coming out - but it's unlikely that whatever 3090 ti/super will be much faster than a regular 3090.

#

There's space on the die for a few more SMs and that's about it. Maybe some faster gddr6x from micron? hopefully they cool it more effectively

#

#

It's just one more GPC, yeah

And it'll be 500$ more 👻 spooky

real tapir
#

Can a 20 degree gap between 80 degree to 60 degree for GPU temp can increase its life ?? I mean 90+ degrees are bad for gpu but going from 80 to all the way upto 60 can STILL increase its life ?? i am asking this because I want to choose between an extreme water cooled gpu and a simple fan cooled gpu .....

cerulean rover
#

You could just UV the normal card and have the same results..?

keen nacelle
#

Not many decent gpus will get to 80 if you have proper cooling, even my gigabyte card doesn't go over 70-75

And yea it's probably not going to hit 80c anyways

but for heavy workload, can it ??
