H0R53

This may be of help to Linus to get his server room organized:

Not the older ones. I think Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge Xeons have the highest potential because of their age, yet their performance is still insane.
 
I disagree. My Xeon can max out even a 1070 and a 1080FE. It was like $50.

I used the normal standoffs that I could, and removed the drive cage.
AM4 design is lame, why can't AMD just make it square for once?

I finally got my GTX 1050Ti 4GB above 2Ghz stable. Last time I did this I did it with the SSC variant and popped a capacitor, breaking the card. That was at 2.25Ghz, without a 6-pin plug. I miss that shitty lil thing lol.
 
Here\s a screenshot with GPU-Z and CPU-Z validating my MSI Afterburner settings.
 
I tried bumping it up to 2.1Ghz but it was unstable.
 
I've got Fallout 4 running in Windowed Mode just to bump up the clock, otherwise it stays around 1300Mhz.

Yeah I didn't feel like taking my side panel off and wanted to eliminate the temperature variable anyway.
If the GPU goes to 50C it begins to throttle below 2.05Ghz. At 55C it was at 2025Mhz.
100%, LOL. You can right click + Open in New Tab to look at the image closer.
Haha yeah, thanks. This isn't the furthest it can go. If I can mod the BIOS to get further than 108% power I can probably get to 2.5Ghz.
Yeah, the GTX 970 better watch its ass.

Like I said, anything above 50C will drop a voltage/freq step.
 
My phone does the same thing (custom ROM plus custom kernel = OC Snapdragon 400 (coincidentally also at 2.1Ghz)).
 
I can get it to stick at 2025Mhz if I use my own curve but I wanted the most juice out of my card. It's not loud by any means, but my PC is the quietest thing I have (my laptop idles louder than my PC).
 
Frankly I'm kind of scare to push it past 2050 for any length of time because of what happened to my SSC (literally blew up).

I just had a client come in for a power button replacement on his PC. It's a Ryzen 3+1050Ti SC+8GB system, in an old Dell Dimension case (2004).
 
He comes in and says that he ordered the parts a week ago and then his 'friend' put it together.
 
I open it up.
 
THIS RETARD PUT THE FLOPPY POWER CONNECTOR ON THE CPU FAN HEADER AHAHAHAHA
 
Edit: I should clarify his 'friend' did this, not him. It had not been working since it was first assembled.
 
The guy says that he went to a few other places and they didn't even look at it.
 
He came in because the power button cable was too short. Found out his friend is a retard.
 
I cleaned up the cable management, rewired most of the components (CPU fan was installed -90 degrees so it blew hot air onto the GPU instead of out the back of the case), solved his problem, and only charged him $5 for the cable.
 
He left happy and informed.
 
Please don't have "friends" work on YOUR PC. Use YouTube.

I mean...I've been doing PC stuff since I was 6...even then I knew what connectors went where...
 
It's not 'politically correct', but this is the Internet where political incorrectness reigns supreme. I embrace it fully instead of fighting it, it's easier.

The 1050 Ti has mounting holes of 48x48mm. Now, the 1070 has 58x58 or 61x61 mm mounting holes. So there's a rather large problem.

I think the GTX 1050 Ti's cooler can manage a GTX 1070.

So Inno3D has finally decided to do something about these damn miners who do nothing but waste power and stealing our gaming cards.
Inno3D's solution while it's not really going to change things, at least it's something. Maybe this is a wake up call for AMD and Nvidia to have drivers that detect when someone is mining on their cards and brick them instantly. Yeah I know it's way too much, but something has to be done about these miners. And yes obviously I know AMD and Nvidia only care about people buying their cards, not what people do with them. But once again I say, something has to be done about them.
 
From Hilbert:

 
Source: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/inno3d-warns-that-mining-can-break-warranty-on-their-gpus.html
 

So you must be one of those miners than?

-Yeah they are customers but customers that are using devices for unintended use
-We understand supply and demand. You think AMD and Nvidia can just increase supply with a snap of their fingers, you even know about the memory shortage going around?
-Privacy? Even without drivers seeing what you are doing, you can tell a card has been stressed 24/7 just by looking at the silicon. 
-No, no you shall not.

No, because they artificially inflated the market so people who actually worked hard for their money can't buy a GPU with the money they earned, instead of the lazy assholes with crazy 1070 mining rigs who didn't earn a dime of their money.
Yes, BUT, the miners are not using them for their INTENDED purpose, therefore the warranty (depending on the warranty) is usually automatically void. Like using a hammer to do a saw's work, or using a lamp as a baseball bat. The manufacturer of the lamp is gonna be like "wtf, we're not replacing that"

Oh yeah.... I completely agree with you here. Miners should not be able to use the manufacturer's warranty.

Finally.
 Because you're using it for something other than it's intended purpose, and with anything, that's grounds for voiding a warranty. Like using  a hammer to do a saw's work, or using a car as a battering ram. I'm not using it for its intended purpose so if it breaks the fault is mine alone and therefore out of warranty.
Folding@home is different from mining because the load time and load average differs from time to time and isn't always 100%. Mining is (usually) always 100%, more so that doing medical research.
 
The mining rush  is like the gold rush - people get hurt and jealous. People without a job (most miners) buy GPUs so they can continue to not have a job, meanwhile people with jobs that actually earned their money through physical work that earn real money can't buy what they saved up for because miners bought them all for their selfish purposes.

No, because they artificially inflated the market so people who actually worked hard for their money can't buy a GPU with the money they earned, instead of the lazy assholes with crazy 1070 mining rigs who didn't earn a dime of their money.

So annoying. Generating money for doing absolutely nothing useful.

Because buying from the manufacturer is more cost effective. Third party vendors like Amazon have more steps to complete to sell and deliver a product than going to EVGA's site to buy one. Amazon has a much higher level of operation expenses than EVGA does, so it costs more to ship it back to Amazon, they look at it, then determine if they should send it back to EVGA, which costs even more money.
 
EVGA would then replace/refurb it and send it BACK to amazon.
 
Your mom must be so proud of your social skills. 

Wow I posted this and then went to bed and now I see 6 pages, I didn't expect so many posts in such a short period of time.
Here's the thing for those of you that don't want to believe that AMD and Nvidia can release drivers that can detect the use of mining and not confuse it for folding at home, the truth is they can. The solution would be to have the driver search for either the software that is known for mining and block it, or detect for that specific workload and block it or not allow it. Or even do something better at the bios level.
 
As for those who said it's not fair to discriminate between gamers and miners, because miners are costumers to so they should have the right to warranty, I say fuck fair.
They are buying products which were not made to run in that environment.
Those cards were not meant for that task.
So if Inno3d or whoever wants to say no to miners warranty claim, then yes they should say "No warranty for you".
 
And for those who said what do we have with miners? Well some have already said what we have with miners. They are doing nothing good for anyone apart from themselves, the rest of us who just want to buy these cards for what they were made for can't or when we can, we have to buy them at a much higher price than it's value.
