Topic: Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread. - page 14. (Read 80189 times)

I am still unable to login, all is stuck at the point "need to change you password, check your mail"
As far as I get your external wallet do not need to be changed. You internal (nicehash) wallet must be changed, as the old one holds "old coins" that may be reimbursed only in February or later.

my HIS 480 is IceQ Roaring OC and IceQ OC...I haven't disassembled them to the point of getting the bushing off, I'll take a second look at them if they have any ball bearing in there            when the next lubing is scheduled...but sapphire 280x dual x is clearly not ball bearing...since I'm not willing to disassemble it just to prove something, here is a link that will clear things and might help (you can see sapphire 280x dual x sleeve bearing being converted to ball bearing)  http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/sleeve-to-dual-ball-bearing-fans/

I can say thru experience that ball bearing will still get some rejuvenation with lubing because I've lube a ball bearing 92mm and a 120mm...they died after a month, the culprit is the black asphalt like material I used to cover the hole....when I did some investigating the oil dissolved some of the asphalt like material and it leeched inside the bearing, the fan being high speed means more damage.....but I also conclude that oil leeches inside ball bearings therefore it helps ball bearing too because I just put a little drop of oil and just return the sticker(no more using the asphalt like material to cover ball bearing 92mm and 120mm fans)r-these fans are already at least 6 months running with no problem.

used that asphalt like material to cover my oiled lower speed 92mm fans in 2016, they are still fine, I can say some asphalt like material dissolved in there too but I think it just made the lube a little bit thicker which is not that damaging to sleeve bearing--acting more like a grease..a very light grease.

in my opinion 6 months re lubing is okay...but if it takes a year to re lube, its great...it is like re lubing together with each general clean up of a card.

Nicehieeeeesh (those who've watched their video will get it) is back up and paying quite a big premium for Cryptonight currently (if whattomine is to be believed).

Wonder if I should point my AMD hash to their servers for a while.

Also, do I have to mine there using a brand new BTC address?

 As I never found a monero pool with both a REASONABLE payout level when mining to an exchange, AND good reliability, all my CPU miners are pointed at Nicehash - and working again.

 I left ONE of my A2 scrypt miners (the 88 Mhash model) with Nicehash as the default pool.

 I have one older machine with 960/950 cards that runs their software by default

 We'll see how it works out.

 Sapphire is ALL ball bearing fans - have been as far back as I've been using them.

 I'm pretty sure MSI is all ball bearing fans as well.

 HIS - varies with the model. Ice-Q and "reference blower" models seem to all be ball bearing, "lesser" models usually are not.

How come? I am seeing around 1.5-2x better earnings on MPH and auto exchanging to BTC.

No worries I have one for you

and I went back to nicehash on 2 of 3 accounts

anyone can suggest a case for this board? I would want to have my MSI 1080tis move to that board as well.
thanks

Supposedly my boards shipped from letine today. Hopefully I'll be able to run the 8 TI hybrids on the bottom and 4 1080 Ti's up top on risers. We'll see.

can you link to the video?

Vosk's new video on the D8P board was nice to see.   Seems pretty seemless to run 8 GPU, and I can only imagine doing risers for the extra 4 GPU to see if there are any quirks there.  But I am super stoked i jumped on the first batch.  first time for being a "first timer" lol;  I normally test the waters first.

I Hope to finally get my board up online soon so I can have everything at home consolidated into one machine outside finally.   Depending on how well it works, I may recommend them to friends to build using them and the frame that could be bought here on BCT in the future.

Phil;  Ive been meaning to get back to you about the cpu... i'm going to wait for the market to settle a little then resend the pm with confirmation before I shoot =)

I have my cards powerd by the same PSU ~ so its not this problem.
Thanks anyways

wow
Ahashpool is now full!!

Recent announcement from them:
Announcement: (2017-12-21 08:22 UTC) Due to tremendous user growth and rapid rise in altcoin value, the pool's exchange capabilities are fully utilized and cannot handle further volume until we work with the Exchanges to increase out limits. However, Exchanges are on holiday during Christmas. We must make this hard decision to announce we are now NOT accepting any new users (BTC addresses), any new users that points any hashes at us will not be paid until our Exchange limits issues is resolved, which could take awhile. So, NO new users (BTC addresses) please.

I have both. If  the colorful said colorful and not k17 a knockoff.i would have ordered more.

My k17 uses a 2400 watt delta. Nice.
It is spaced tight . Since I run eight cards 7 1070tis and 1  1070

All are hybrids overheating is Not an issue..

Once I push this board to 1100 watts it smells.

I suspect there is a limit in the traces of the pcb.

I use the pass through this means all 1100 watts passes in the pcb.

I could use the server and bypass the pcb pass through .  In theory this would limit the pcb to 8 x 75 = 450 watts.

I did play with the board and get 2 x 1080 tis power directly from the psu and 6 1070 tis powered with the pass through I pushed this to 2x200 + 6 x 125 = 1150 watts

Since the 1080tis did not use the pass through in this setup the board did not smell.

I think I can do 4 1080tis and 4 1070 tis using  4x200=800 and 4x125=500. That would be 1300 watts

Most of that would come directly from the psu.

In a perfect world I would use this board if it said colorful and not k17 knockoff.

In stead I stuck with the onda as I feel it can run 7 cards easy.

different solutions for different situations...i guess..

looking at my fury strix temps i can say two 92mm can cool it.

my MSI 390 and MSI 290X is about 2 months since i first lube it, my HIS 480 is about 3 months already..sapphire 280x is at least 6 months....I can say that they are obviously better compared to the times when they are not yet lubed..

I'm thinking if leaking is a problem, I will look and try a good grease....grease are not good at leaking.(thinking about silicone grease at this time)

Let me add some little Comments for Colorful vs the Onda 2.0,

Colorful Pro
Colorful have special cable to power SATA HD from the board (supplier sent both CPU and Sata cables)
Colorful have 4 Fan ports
Colorful Posted from first boot and ran 8 GPUs without touching the Bios.

Colorful Cons
Colorful only has two USB rear ports which is pain in initial quick  setup

Onda Cons
Onda was pain for me for first boot , only booted on built in GPU with no GPUs plugged until bios settings changed
Onda has only 2 Fan hearers

 The whole reason that sleeve bearing fans fail is that the seals that seal the lube INTO the fan bearing fail and let the lube leak out.
 "snap out and snap back in" does not fix that issue, and tends to cause MORE damage to the seals.
 Any lube you add to a fan that has already had the seals start leaking isn't going to be around for long - at which point the fan fails AGAIN, usually in less than a month and rarely in 1-2 months.

 The pic you showed of the 120mm was making my point - a 120 sticks up too far, and on my current setup won't FIT. 92mm on the other hand is about the same height as the HS and will fit - and I already HAVE the 92 mm fans.

 I doubt I'd need 3 fans for anything - the 92mm NMB fans I have flow a LOT more air than the gimp fans card makers put on GPUs.
 They're not high-end Delta 38mm thick screamers, but they ARE good for a lot more airflow than the original Gigabyte fans are rated at - and the extra thickness isn't enough to be an issue.
 Even with only 2 of the 3 original fans working at ALL on the Gigabyte Windforce 3-fan cards, they stay fairly cool.

Problem with Nicehash "being back online" is that their mining servers seem to NOT be back online yet, or they changed the addresses and haven't posted the new ones anywhere that folks can find them yet.

So you're NOT actually free to lease etc 'cause there's no hashpower TO lease.


 (edit) looks like they finally got the servers up around midnight - PACIFIC time, not "CET".

Here's what I found on their site:

Now that the site is back online, you are free to lease, mine and make money once more. Our community is very important to us and given the loyalty of our users, we want to make sure that everyone is fully reimbursed after what happened. This has been under discussion since the day of the hack. We have now been able to reserve the funds required to restore balances from a group of international investors in our business. The exact date of reimbursement for old balances will be announced by January 31, 2018. We need this interim period to ensure all legal paperwork is processed correctly, so please be patient while we do this. Please also note that balances lower than 0.0001 BTC will be written off; apologies for any inconvenience. We have considered a number of ways to help our community to cover the stolen funds and we feel that this is the most appropriate way to ensure that everyone is back in business as soon as possible.
