@tikkerStrange to hear the hashrate on your 1080 Ti has dropped like that. I still have 5x 1080 Tis and they are all hashing between 47 to 49mhs with Phoenixminer and the ETHpill. 2 of those 5 cards were the original cards that I started mining with at the beginning of 2018, which is the only reason they haven't been replaced already. To answer your question about memory throttle, it's definitely possible. As many are learning on newer gen 3080s and 3090s (myself included), you can easily throttle memory while having great core temps. The only way to know is to find a way to monitor those mem temps or to simply replace the thermal pads and see if hash improves. Either way, good luck man!

I know that what I do with regards to mining upsets some people, but regardless of what anyone thinks or feels, the fact is, it is not only profitable, it's extremely profitable. Even when the market is low and supposedly "unprofitable", most of us that have been doing it for years know that we mine for tomorrow's profits, not today's.

You should test the 5900x while you are at it.

@Desp567 Only compare your graphics score within the Time Spy benchmark. The overall score is a combination of your graphics and CPU score. Your 3700x will get outpaced by a few CPUs out there so your overall score could be potentially lower. Additionally, your CPU will slightly impact your graphics score within that benchmark as well, so when comparing your graphics score to others, keep in mind that someone else's 3060 Ti may be paired with a CPU with higher single-threaded performance for the graphics portion of the test. Overall, if you compare graphics scores to others, I think you'll find that you're not too far behind. Good luck man!

Any PWM (4pin) fan header will be fine. Just remember that some headers, such as those marked for water pumps, are set to run at 100% all the time on certain boards. I hope that helps.

Just to add to what @HairlessMonkeyBoy already stated, all the fans connected to the hub will run at the same speed commanded by the motherboard for whichever fan header you plug the hub into.

That sound is coil whine.

@Moonzy You gonna send me that address? If you don't want to, I completely understand. I just wanted to assure you that I wasn't kidding.

I'm guilty of all the above. Man it's good to be back to the LTT community. A lot has changed, while a great deal has remained the same!

Sir, either post or send me your mining address and let me know what you are mining. My wife just set up the Christmas tree, everyone is in a great mood and I like your damn style sir!

Thank you! It's not just profitable, it pretty dang lucrative. That said, I completely understand your point of view, but I'm going to continue. I think that if I could just show you the positive impact it's had on my household, you'd be less upset about it. That said, I completely understand.

Hey bud, do you mind me asking what type of cards your are mining with?
