yeah bots may be the way of the future.

Getting cards is really hard. No indication of them coming out and being available.

Don't forget plain 3060's are coming out in a couple of weeks. Which should hash about the same speed as a 5600XT or better with a price point of $329 USD. I'm sure this number will be doubled by just about every vendor due to "tariffs". Also the 3080ti's are being tested. I would expect to see those end of march.

This deal goes live on 2-11 and seems to be a pretty good price for a pre-built with a 3070 for those looking for one. Probably will sell out instantly lol.

https://deals.dell.com/en-us/mpp/productdetail/7fpz

For the record, you were right, sold out instantly. lol

Like I tell my daughter, "I hope I am not right but".... Yeah it was a great price and no way they had a ton of them at that price. That was like a Walmart black Friday door buster deal.

I grabbed two of these this week one from B&H for $599 and the Newegg one I didn't realize it was $760 after shipping until after I checked out. No way Gigabyte raised their price by $150 from Monday to last night.

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3070-gv-n3070gaming-oc-8gd/p/N82E16814932342?Item=N82E16814932342

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1598689-REG/gigabyte_gv_n3070gaming_oc_8gd_geforce_rtx_3070_gaming.html

Only reason I think I was able to grab it from Newegg is the price was likely above where people had there bots set to so it lasted 2-3 minutes.

A couple bots figured out work arounds on B&H Photo and Amazon and since Tuesday they grab everything so quick some notification bots don't pick up on stock.

We need a bitcointalk retail automation buy bot lol

That's a hefty price difference. Seems like Newegg is cashing in on the price gouging. Best Buy hasn't jacked up their prices yet either. I never seem to have any luck with B&H. I need to find some of these bots. I heard the fancy ones checkout for you and everything.

are you looking at laptops too? Grin

no I think they would not have resale. That the omen will.

I sell a lot of gently used gpus.

At 1320 if I earn 600 with this in 100 days. I could likely sell it for 1000 which is about 250 profit.

Just want to share something here phil

I was using windows 10 for mining, since ever, only tried mining os for a few times, but always got back to windows
But last week my system started to crash without any reason, it was working 24/7 without any issue

Rig with: 5600xt, 5700, 5700xt, 3070 and 1660super
I made everything i recommend to people Cheesy

- drivers, card position on mobo, risers, cables etc

But now I decided to gave a chance to HiveOS, put on an SSD, configured on website and voila, my system are now stable for some days, without any issue, it's just hard to undestand the overclock on linux coming from windows, but it's really good to have everything stable again

Maybe I'll try simplemining on my secondary rig

I suspect windows 10 updates messed with my miners, and this is annoying because I blocked everything, but windows always find his ways to update Cheesy

hiveos (and probably other linux based os) is hands down better than windows at running amd rigs. My amd rigs go down maybe once a week but hiveos always reboots and recovers. Sometimes on windows, the whole system freezes at the bsod and you have to manually reset it

Yeah my smos (linux) runs 100-200 days in a row at times zero issues.

I pulled the trigger on an omen pc. with a 3070 in it.

I paid 1357 - 40 = 1317 which is okay decent specs good psu. good nvme.2 It only has 8 gb ram but I have 2 of these sticks coming from the newegg shuffle

https://www.newegg.com/oloy-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820821309?Item=N82E16820821309. they will look nice in the case.

if this earns 6 a day after power it pays off in 220 days.

a good chance I will sell this off in 6-8 months

Windows is a sneaky mofo.

I have some ryzen rigs mining monero so they use nicehash and windows 10 as smos is not running ryzen cpu's

Those rigs are at home and crash over and over and over. Due to up dates.

Gpu mining has spread a bit too much for me as I have

5 pc's in Lakewood nj -------------10 gpu's
8 pc's in my house ----------------12 gpu's
1 pc at buysolar's house ---------- 3 gpu's
7 pc's at the big farm in Clifton -- 30 gpu's

hard to track it all and multiple arrangements for power deals.

Right now gpu's are making so much I could run all of them at home even with my 13.7 cent power cost prior to heating savings.

all the ones above are spilt differently.

I have a 3090 and a 3070 coming.

I am debating buying a fully assembled 3070 rig for 1350 six months to pay it off.

Unless i have misunderstood you, and that the board powers a couple of slots off of the atx connector, you just plug in cables from your server psu. You dont use the pico to power any pcie. Infact it doesnt have a pcie output. The one in the pic is for 12v input - not an output.

My fault not yours that you don't understand the odna boards.

they have six inputs for the six slots on the board.

3 are molex and 3 are sata

you need to feed those inputs with sata and molex cables

These pico psu are powered by server power supplies. So they can be use for riserless motherboards.

not so they simply can't provide enough power for a lot of slots

My boards use 6 cables for the slots 3 sata and 3 four pin molex

The pico can power 1 of the six slots. maybe 2.

I have built a few hundred mobos and melted more than one pico when trying to run riserless boards.

Those adapters are good for riser mobos. as you do not pull power in the moboslots.

then odna are slotted boards you need to feed the slots with minimum of 3 separate cables from an atx psu.

I have gone multiple ways building:

8 and 13 card riser builds
2 card gamer/miner builds
6 slot boards
8 slot boards

My preferred board is an 8 slot board that just takes 6 pin pcie cables. But I can't get it. It runs very well with bitmain apw3+ psu. I have lots of apw3+ psu's

I am waiting on newegg shuffle I should get results soon.
Based on what people are telling me I am either super lucky or someone is looking out for me at newegg.

I have a source for a 3070 full pc almost as cheap as the Alienware that sold out.

If I miss this shuffle I will get 1 or 2 of them.

phil do you not like server psus?

they are good but not with the onda boards. the odna need atx to feed the built in pcie slots

this one below uses server psu's well

I have a clone of this one below

it wants atx.

They make boards that convert server psus to ATX. They are honestly a godsend. https://www.parallelminer.com/product/zsx-breakout-board-16-ports-pico-24pin-atx-fan-hubs-100-gpu-mining-a-game-changer/

I have not done my homework, is it worth getting 5000 series CPU's?

Eh, just missed the window.

I have no direct experience but I have heard they don't mine as well as 3000. The new cache helped a lot with many
applications but hurt massively multi-threaded applications like CPU mining algorithms that are sensitive to cache performance.
That and the price increases make the 5000 series less attractive, IMO.

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about them, possibly because they are hard to get or maybe people are consumed by Eth
at the moment.
