Also going to be selling my 3080 Ti if possible as it is also a noisy mofo even at 75% fan speed and hits 106 C VRAM. Can’t open an MSI card so this will have to go. Will buy a Palit Gamerock 3080 Ti to get the silence I want.

So pissed off with all the cards this generation!

The main issue seems to be the heat from gddr6x. Cheap thermal pads from the factory and backplates unable to adequately cool memory on the rear of the PCB resulted in temperatures approaching thermal throttling especially in applications like mining.

I was able to get my 3090 FTW3 down to about 88-92c with the addition of an active backplate hsf cooler. Main fans spun to 85% on the gpu. It definitely wasn't silent especially since I was also running case fans at 100% to help move air through there. If I'd wanted to do better it would've been a tear down and repad.

The 3090Ti FTW3 ran over 10c cooler under the same scenario and also seemed to be less noisy to me.

[KAC]

That's why I went with your 3090 Ti and am hoping it can survive weather in Dubai.

Really shocked to see poor performance from an MSI 3080 Ti Suprim X as the card is hitting 106 C VRAM routinely. It doesn't even have ram on the back and has 3 fans + its own 3 fans blowing directly across the fins in an open case. What a **** show and noisy fans. Terrible cooler.

Going to go for a Palit once I sell it off.

We hitting 24k and staying bear for 2022?
I always assumed for November midterms they would make sure the economy was solid. Maybe I was wrong

[Riptide]

Looking like it's in free fall right now and same with the stock market. Besides my 401k I have money on INTC and AMD. Not a good time lately.

[Leprechaun]

Peeps trying to depeg Luna UST. Luna foundation selling off BTC thus crashing price. This would be cool if Luna wasn't my biggest holding

[Leprechaun]

Well Luna suffered an attack there went 2/3 of my portfolio

[Riptide]

Easy come easy go?

I just added another 10% to my 401k paycheck contributions. Equities are on sale right now might as well try to get them cheaper than usual.

Been trying to update my two rigs but hive is having issues with their downloads for days now. Updating a kernel image 1.1GB over 50K/sec and having the rig down for hours is not really acceptable. Hoping they get this sorted out soon. Been taking forever.

[Leprechaun]

How to lose 75% of your portfolio in 2 days. Well......
Will wait, buy good project low and rebuild. That's where the actual money is made anyways. Just going to take months/years

[Riptide]

You were that leveraged into Terra?

What an epic crash. From what little I read sounds like it was a scam.

[Leprechaun]

An attack from Wall Street is the best guess so far.
Too long of a story.

Nah just that Luna did like a 30x for me it ended up being my best bet.....until now

[Leprechaun]

It's now looking like a BlackRock/citadel hit on terra. Story unfolds

[Riptide]

Should've taken profits while you could.

Yep. I said that a million times. I've learned lots. Never again will this happen.

The only difference between me and a baby now is that a baby cries itself to sleep just a few nights a week

[Riptide]

It's definitely a tough choice sometimes.

Should you sell on a 5-10% gain? Probably not. Most people wouldn't sell.

50% though? Now we're talking sell territory depending on who you talk to. But as you are aware, the asset could always fly up 250% higher or more. It may, it may not. But the greed factor keeps a lot of people in and refusing to take a profit.

Look at BTC they say. What if I'd cashed out at $2000? See!!
Then I say, look at LUNA.

[Leprechaun]

Luna about to be delisted from binance. It's basically almost close to confirmed as a BlackRock/citadel attack. I want alts down 99% so I can scoop up the decent ones

[KAC]

Damn man wtf is going on.

No idea. Maybe it's a China or N Korea attack. Maybe the US govt needs a reason to go after stablecoins and crypto so they are behind the mess. It's all a conspiracy.

Bottom line algorithmic stablecoins don't work they way they are, amyone with more $billions can manipulate the market

[Riptide]

Haven (XHV) isn't vulnerable to the type of situation that happened here. Or so I have read on their discord anyway.

Nobody has any real proof of what happened at this point. If it was some attack or conspiracy I haven't seen any actual credible verifiable evidence. Just speculation and unnamed sources.

Palit is such a beauty of a card.

My MSI Suprim X wouldn’t go over 102-104 MH/s. This Palit runs at 114-115 MH/s plus temperature are only 96 C VRAM and fans only at 45%. Amazing. That is better performance than my EVGA 3090 FTW3 and I haven’t even started memory overclocking on Palit.

For sure selling my RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 edition as soon as it is here and getting a Palit 3090 Ti.

What an amazing set of cards. Never buying another brand again!

[Leprechaun]

Good info to know. I doubt I've ever seen Palit in Canada though.
Just stay away from Gigabyte

[Leprechaun]

On the flip side I spent my last $30 UST to buy Luna at like six decimal places. Was able to turn it into $3300. This is all fudged up. Luna just dropped like 3 decimals.

[KAC]

Got my thicc boy in. Tuned it for a pretty decent outcome.





Also tuned my 3080 Ti and 3070 for high efficiency.

Pretty much a complete collapse at this point. Bummer, but most alts are basically casino territory. We've been over it a bunch even projects that have a good dev team, been around for a while, have decent use cases, still usually just end up cratering into the toilet while some total garbage project moons 400%.

Good luck predicting this.

KAC the FTW3 card is just flat massive. Only bigger air cooled 3090Ti card I know of is the Suprim X.

[Leprechaun]

My total mined is down to 0.001 BTC/day basically.
I guess it's the mining bomb slowly taking effect?

[Leprechaun]

You see another 50%++ drop in alts from here? I'm hoping so

[Riptide]

Much to the glee of PC gamers everywhere.

Valuations are continuing to drift down.

[Leprechaun]

Over the coming months I see a continuation of the drop. BTC might go up and down and even up a tad but I believe the alts will bleed to the usual 98%+?

Looking to scoop the big ones there

[Riptide]

Who knows. If the stock market continues to tank then it will probably continue down. How far is anyone's guess. I've seen people predict mid to high 20K on the stock market for the bottom and others think it will go even lower yet.

I have no idea. I'm just not selling at this point. I don't like to lock in losses lol

As for mining though, continuing to get what little ETH I'm able to mine before the end of POW. When I go to sell (some) of my GPUs they will be worth less than half of what I paid. That's what happens when you hold out until the bitter end haha

[Leprechaun]

I'm mining until the end. All good alts that survive will rise even more next bull run. Poop coins will die. Which is most of them.

Easy 10/20/50x maybe on good projects when we buy at pennies. Didn't get rich in the bull run as I got in late, but damnit I'm going to accumulate during the bear run.
