its like saying that feul efficiency IS the factor in high octane drag races ... its not - its the time it takes to get from one point to another - and the fastest wins ... period ... they dont care how much feul or noise or rubber is used or destroyed in the process ...
that's because they have a wide margin.
everybody must take expenses into account.
if you made more money by lowering your TDP, wouldn't you do it?
do the math and you'll see.
agreed ...
expense IS a factor IF the result takes it into account ... if all you want is more hashrate at the expense of power - then great ...
i will concede though that in a larger farm environment - this view would be the deciding factor for the farm and its design and setup - as the smallest decrease in power would save a huge amount ...
but in this case pallas - i honestly dont think the power reduction is that great that it would be anything to worry about - especially if thehasrate is increased by a larger margin ... not a very small one ...
as for money - im not fussed on that end ... it comes good in the end when it comes to money ... im more concerned with the coins themselves ... more hash - more coin ...
hence the reason why i have always said - that my view of 'profitability' is VERY different form what most people accept it to be ...

WE ARE NOT IN A HIGH OCTANE DRAG RACE--
There has to be a standard for measurement, even in a drag race. The amount of sassy banter that goes on in this thread is extra-ordinary, and it is all about who has the best code. Even drag races have rules, it is not always just the fastest time. Some races are about the closest time to a point, etc. There has to be a standard way of comparison.
I like my beer, I am not an idiot, and I want to keep my beer free of the yellow-tinted spray wash that is wizzed around so frequently in this happy thread. Don't pollute my sudz, please. --scryptr
hahaha ...
and as usual - you manage to put a smile on my face scryptr ...
you are completely wrong - it IS a drag race here fro the highest hashrate - but nonetheless a very funny read ...
i dont drink alcohol - nor smoke - nor do drugs ... i do drink a LOT of water though ( about 5 litres a day ) - so go figure with the yellow spray ...
...
if there was a standard of measure that could be verified by a reliable source that had standards to abide by - then i would totally agree ... but this is a drag race that has no rules - so the end result is who hash the 'bigger' hashrate and stable miner - no matter how much power is involved ...
power is expensive here in australia - and so i need a LOT of coin to cater for it if i were to trade in all the coin i own ... luckily for me i have other businesses to make sure there is other income flows ... or maybe not luckily - just smart enough to make sure it doesnt kill everything i do ... im old enough and ugly enough to know the difference ...
either way - hashrate is king in here ... whether we like to conserve power or not ...
i guarantee you - that if a miner comes out that is twice the hashrate we are getting now - but uses three or four or five times time the current power usage - miners worldwide would jump on it like a sexy hollywood actress turned hooker giving away her services for free ...
