So do you think I will be ok running at 85w? I bought 20 awg 8 pin  pice to dual y 6 pin off amazon and I'm using those to power the 4 risers. I've bought a multimeter to test the riser wattage anyway so should be here tomorrow. Was just a bit afraid to go over 150w between the card power and teh riser power

PCIE cables/connectors can carry more than 150w.

I run each card and riser on one lead using good quality pcie 8 pin to 2 x 8 pin splitters. No problems at all.
Besides which, if your cards are using 85w, then that is their total draw. The riser power is included in the power usage for a card, not additional.

So I spaced out my cards a little more. Maybe a cm or so and it has dramatically helped with gpu heat. 65c at 80% fan speed at 75w per card. I have had it up to 80w and the temperature stays the same so that sounds good doesn't it?

I have some worries about wattage though. I understand that a 8 pin pcie can carry 150w? I have 4 cards running off one evga 750w gold. I have it wired with 4 cards powered with the 2 split pcie cables you get in the box and the risers powered from from the single pcie cables you get in the box but I've added 6 pin to 6 pin dual splitter to give me enough connections. Does that make sense?

I worry that if my 8 pin cables from the psu can only carry 150w and say I'm taking 80-85w per card and my risers were taking 80-85w I would be overloading my cables.

Even though the specification allows for a delivery capability of 75 W (six-pin connector) or 150 W (eight-pin connector), the total power-handling capacity of these connectors is at least 192 and 288 W, respectively, using standard terminals, and even more using the HCS or Plus HCS terminals.

Mem matters with certain parts of the algorithm.

I'm getting absurdly good responses from clocking up core and mem fairly heavily on all my GALAX EXOC cards 1050 TI and 1060 3Gb EOC and close to nothing on my MSI Aero cards so they're sitting at stock but I'm not seeing any weird drops or instability issues that other people seem to be reporting with heavier OCs.

Mine rvn buy nct u will not regret it.

Installed a 3rd GPU today. Can't get it to work
Crashes my miner. ""Aes_cpu_init out of memory"" A quick google makes me think virtual memory is the issue. Problem is I have no idea what I'm doing. Can anyone help?

Why doesn't CryptoBridge display all sell orders? For example, currently I can see sell orders up to the price of 550 satoshi. I know that there are sell orders with bigger price because I had sell order with bigger price.

Those of us that have corporate networks CANT.

Which is why we stick to Skype. If Discord (or any other of these supposedly awesome products) actually work through a corporate proxy (like Squid), then we would happily do so. All those that can't, won't. Believe me when I tell you that the corporate players are the ones to take note of also, as apps like Discord is one of the WORST apps to use in a corporate environment.

This is why Skype is STILL the most widely used in the 'real' business end of industry.

Until WebSockets based apps like discord can actually be used in proxies like Squid, there will be no reason for a large company to bother with it, unless they have a system where they do NOT use a protected system or Proxy system.

This is the main reason why it begs the question of WHY the corporate that seemingly backs RVN is also part of the Discord system. Makes me wonder how much of their corporate network is actually exposed. Might have to look at that one day and see which is the actuality of the situation here, and which is fiction. Until then, we will keep mining/trading/watching and guessing as to what the facts really are here.

Raven is starting to show it's value already ... these messages of truth, ...  at this point, I really can't imagine mining anything else- virtually any other minable coin is also being mined by ASICs.

The few mineable cryptocurrencies that haven't yet been affected significantly by ASIC mining will eventually be affected unless the coin developers themselves enact significant changes to the coin's mining algorithm, and even then only X16R is a remotely satisfactory algorithm for deterring ASIC manufacturers. The other coins must change to an algorithm that doesn't lend itself to being practical or profitable enough for ASIC manufacturers to pursue development of an ASIC miner. Obviously, X16R (RVN) is the only coin providing this solution while all other coins are being mined and diluted by ASICs as you read this message. Even if they change those coins in the future, such as ETH- it won't change the fact that millions upon mllions of the coins were mined unfairly by those using application specific integrated circuits, many of which are not available to the public. Bitmain has been known to keep private it's new ASIC miners until profitability drops, at which time they sell the same devices to the public that are purposely not released to the public while they are especially profitable. This causes many coins to be necessarily diluted.

But when I mine RVN, I know there's less than 2THs of mining power on the entire network despite the presence of well over 12-15K unique miners. A fair playing field.

It's the only way to mine on a fair playing field and the only current way for any coin to be fair regarding mining, dilution and ASIC's.

But, it's important for much more than just mining, it's important for valuation purposes ... among other things.

I do declare, this 'RVN' coin is the only way that I can mine using my GPU, knowing for sure that the playing field is 100% fair and that there aren't big whigs using ASICs to rapidly, unfairly mine coins and dilute my holdings.

I plan to mine this coin in perpetuity unless or until something changes regarding cryptocurrency algorithms and exploitation of mining via ASICs or other exploits.

One of the people talking about it on discord is a Moderator from the discord group MrFanelli.

Anyone who is dealing in raven be it mining or trading should definitely get on the Discord group. More information there and rarely any garbage posts to comb through.
