    Sadly, besides cutting the card open to check the degradation, there's no way to determine what the card has been used for. 

    However, I'll say to just use the card until it fails. It should last longer than you expect. Proper mining setups are actually not that stressful on the cards actually. Check out more on here and here if you wanna learn more about GPU degradation and stuff.

    Snipeon got a reaction from TopHatProductions115 in How much does my setup trigger you?   
    Ok, I get why this triggers people. To sum it up, here's the list of stuff that triggers people:

    1. You have your PC in a drawer with 0 airflow.
    2. You have an overclockable CPU in a non overclockable motherboard.
    3. You have 12 GB of RAM. 
    4. You are trying to run a triple monitor setup off a single 1050ti.
    5. You expect your PSU to deliver enough power.
    6. You have a ton of HDDs, but only a 64 GB SSD.

    Seriously, I won't just dismiss the statements of her two best friends... Though if you need substantial evidence, go interact with her more, and find out her intentions directly. Unless you're used to women and are willing to risk making a fool of yourself, trying to understand the workings of a female mind usually ain't the forte of us males. Just be direct. Period.

    And remember, if all else fails...

    Why do you want it to be clocked at 2024mhz on idle? it's a waste of energy, GPUs will boost their frequency on demand.

    Snipeon reacted to AshleyAshes in cryptocurrency(bitcoin) Vs meltdown & spectre   
    Yup.  It's all part of a grand conspiracy.  Intel introduced the first Meltdown/Specter vulnerable CPUs in 1995 with Speculative Execution in 1995, a whole 13 years prior to the Bitcoin white paper being published in 2008.  Now, you'd THINK this means that it's impossible but it's not, you see, Intel has been hiding their most secret technology for decades: DMail, short for 'Delorean Mail'.  It's a system that Intel uses to send messages into the past so that they can change history and ensure their dominance.

    1. It's normal for the LEDs to light up when there's power.
    2. Seems like you messed up the front I/O connectors, consult your motherboard manual.
    3. It may be USB power on or something, there's such a setting in BIOS.

    2. Consult your motherboard manual, it has a section on where and how to plug in your I/O headers.
    3. I'll get back to you on the extra info later, too lazy to restart my computer to check BIOS. The power on headers are in the I/O headers section. As said, consult your motherboard manual.

    Snipeon reacted to JokerProduction in 3 Phase and Single-Phase   
    So much misinformation here.  Everything is supplied from 3phase power if you go back far enough as any power plant generators are going to be 3phase and power is ALWAYS transmitted with 3ph.(I'm talking the 400,000-700,000v 75m towers)  A 3ph supply(as long as its 4wire) can be used to feed single phase without issue as it just 3 single phases.
     
    I think a lot of people are mistaking an Edison 3wire circuit for a 3phase circuit and i cant count how many times I've had this happen. Common  Edison 3wire circuits are going to be 120/240V here in north america or 230/460 in EU.  Now its very important to note that these are still single phase voltages and cannot be used to power something that truly is 3ph.  Some people even mistake this as 2ph as it 2 seperate wave forms but it is still single phase because they are in phase with each other.(ie both cross 0 at the same time)
     
    3ph common voltages are 120/208, 277/480, 347/600, 240/415.  3ph voltages will always have the higher voltage 1.73x larger than the lower voltage. If its double its single phase on a Edison 3wire circuit.
     
    Generally 3ph is not used for residences unless its a big apartment building, condo complex, or massive mansion as a 3ph transformer is more expensive than a equivalent sized(which is measured in KVA) single phase transformer and 98% of the people will never use a 3ph load.
     
    2ph is also a thing but its very uncommon and has been phased out and  equipment for it is no longer available.  It was really only ever used back in the 1930s.  (2phase is actually 4hots 90° apart)  Its so rare that it isn't even taught in electrical programs anymore.
     
    Every different voltage and amperage has a plug and receptacle that is specific to it and wont plug in as they are keyed.  the only exception being the "t-slot" receptacle that is rarely used in NA.  It will accept 120v15A and 120v20A  There is also a straight blade  and a locking "twist-lok" receptacle for each voltage.  As well and the IEC pin and sleeve type connectors posted above.(which are not always 3ph as Snipeon  suggested above)
     
    If you do happen to have a 3phase service to your house that is nothing but a good thing with no negatives as it will you more voltage options when ordering equipment as you can run either voltage in 1ph or the higher voltage as 3ph.  Its common(in NA to have a split receptacle with 2 different phases(actually by canadian code they have to be on separate phases) so having 2plugs in the same room on separate phases is not going to cause issues unless its sharing a neutral and that nuetral happens to break which is extremely rare.
     
    Short of it is, you as a homeowner the only thing you can really do is invest in a surge protection device which could be anything from a 20$ power strip to a 20k$ panel mounted TVSS  or better yet a UPS.
     
     
    This is also incorrect you are not charged by how many amps are drawn but by how much power. A 100w light bulb still draws 100w if its powered by 120v or 600v and will still use 100w/h every hour its on.  The advantage to higher voltages is that there is less amps drawn and therefor require a smaller wire(but thicker insulation) and copper is much more expensive than the plastic or silicon insulation.  Most electrical stuff is done with economics in mind.

    Homes do have 3 phase power incoming, for stuff such as private generators. The only difference between home and commercial power is that usually in homes the 3 phase is rarely used as it is. Both commercial and homes have their 3 phase power split out into 3 different single phase lines to power stuff which do not need a 3 phase line. This balances the load on any of the 3 lines and ensures you do not have a electrical fire on your hands due to too much current flowing through any one of the lines.
