    PWforPower reacted to X-System in Booting bios without not bios supported cpu   
    He means you can't update the BIOS with an unsupported CPU.
     
    You must use a supported CPU to update the BIOS. After that, you can to put your E5-2640 on your motherboard.

    PWforPower got a reaction from Motleyguts in Applied paste on gpu and hotter than before   
    I will do that again, but tommorow. Expect for more than 12 hours.
     
    Im sure that nothing elese than pcb itself makes not touchin correctly gpu die. Many time screwed and reaplied paste which I use always, also all thermal pads applied to the same place where they were, but again after that all there can be some fauilure, so I will check it again and send photos.
     
    Thank you for help, it could be helpful to many others.

    If the heatsink is screwed on with too much force, it can cause the PCB to flex and create hotspots amongst many other issues. As far as pads, they usually need to be a specific thickness for the heatsink to mount correctly and make good contact with all the relevant components.

    Damaged cards like that are not reliable because of the layers that include etched copper “wires”.  They are easy to break.  Copper has a bit of stretch but not a lot and it doesn’t retract much when pressure is reduced.  The stuff is not a rubber band.  If I had a component that I had bent that still worked at all I would avoid touching it or jostling the device because there’s no telling what could make it stop working entirely.

    Interesting. That one didn't use thermal pads to the gpu so that shouldn't be the issue. 
    Is the pcb bent or the cooler? Maybe pictures would help. 
    If the pcb is bent but when you have the cooler off it isn't bent then it might be on too tight. Just a thought.

    If you put thicker than the spec, 1.0mm thermal pads, then it can surely cause you to have less mounting pressure on the GPU die, less contact, and worse thermals.

    If its bent, I would double check where you're placing the thermal pads, and making sure you haven't accidentally put them on something that isn't meant to have a pad on them. Compare yours to high resolution PCB images on the web for proper placement. PCB shouldn't be bent so there's only so many reasons why it would be... thermal pad in the wrong spot, thermal pad too thick, a wire from the heatsink's fan or something in between surfaces...
     
    As you know, hard to tell without the card to examine. Maybe take some high resolution images of your own card with cooler on from top-down, side-view, remove the cooler and get some good shots of both sides of the card.

    Sag is a different thing than putting it back together differently. Sag is about the weight of the card as a whole being too much for the support system.  It’s more about the motherboard and case than the internals of the card.  You say the pads are different then you say “I putted right pads as before” which I’m not sure I understand.
    ”can bad not soft thicker pads bent gpu pcb if strong screwed” there is a bit of tense confusion there, and I’m not sure I understand, but I think “yes”.
     
    second part is less unclear to me I think. 
    there is a difference between “bent” and “bowed”. “Bent” implies permanence.  If you remove the pressure it will not return to shape. I don’t know if the part is bent or merely bowed.  Bent in this case would include the breaking the strips of copper embedded in the fiberglass of the pcb.  If it’s actually bent this would be a don’t touch it and thank your lucky stars it still works at all.
     
    If it’s bowed it would be take it apart again and use the right thermal pads this time. And apparently also a torque wrench.   I don’t know whether it’s bent or bowed though.

    I made a glycol chiller for my home brewing. I bought food safe glycol from amazon and mixed it with distilled water. i don't recall the ratio but its based on how cold you need it to not freeze at. For chilling it i bought a cheep window mount Air Conditioner from home depot for like $100 and carefully bent the cooling side into an ice chest that i filled with the glycol water mix. I put a submersible pump in the ice chest along with a temp probe and it works like a charm with no issues for over a year now. Its all mounted to a furniture dolly and looks pretty great and very safe
    Temperature unit i cant say enough how awesome this unit is and for only $15 if you can do basic wiring it is a steal.

    I dont see why this wouldn't work for you unless you want an easily portable option but then you're getting into very custom and very expensive

    I thought where they have servers, how they use connection with us.
    Ive seen that they use MARKMONITOR INC for servers and are located in Washington DC.
    Can someone explain me how they are connected with internet providers and which they use.
    I would buy rtx so if its help if we are in same town with same internet provider maybe I get better chanches to it respon faster.
    If its not possible i would again know how it work.

    PWforPower reacted to trag1c in Which internet provider BestBuy use and where servers are located ?   
    Best buy doesn't run their own hosting servers. Best buy uses the CDN provider Akamai Technologies and more than likely they will have a few locations hosting the site. When i use trace route I can see it brings me to the ip address of 23.49.141.158 which is based in Vancouver, Canada. I am sure you will find that once you run a trace route that it will give you another different IP for somewhere else on continent. So really you can't get any closer because they have datacenters all over.

    If only bot can buy New stufts which are limited in stock, why would not made simple BOT WAR ?
    After engineers and web automation related people which stealing rtx and after we all boting, what would next happen ?
    Next?, we need fastest server with own internet providers or hacking industry to block other to buy and ?
    Fuking we can't buy rtx when its stock even when you have checker and click on link its showin only OUT OF STOCK !?!?!? or you buy but nothing.
    So I would try to make bot, but don't lnow what is important and how sites detect bot and how fast it must be to compete with other bots.

    If you didnt set it up correctly you wont get anything, ever. But some require you reach a certain amount before getting a pay out. Which can take a long time with a single card, especially if you are only getting a 2.2 hash. I assume you mean 22.

    as said above they are all just manufacturers, the chips have the same use, just produced differently. The reason you only see samsung is just coincidence, other manufacturers are also used on other cards, it just depends on what the card manufacturer wants to use.

    Make sure you downloaded T-Rex from the official page and all should be fine. It detects it as a miner, because.. well it's a miner! They're considered malware, as you wouldn't want someone randomly mining on your machine without your knowledge or permission and as such will be quarantined/removed by antimalware software.

    PWforPower reacted to tikker in Zcoin(xfr)-Firo vs ETH vs BTC   
    Every coin is unstable except for, well, stablecoins.
    They're not really. They go up and down all the time and every now and then crash hard (mostly BTC that crashed, but point still stands). BTC went up from $10k  last December to $48k at this moment of writing. ETH underwent a rise from 700 to 1700 as well. If people were to panic sell all there BTC and ETH tomorrow or just declared it was worthless, everything would come crashing down.
    Not familiar with the currency, so I don't know what the point is. Looks like they want "anonymous currency".
    Profitability all depends on what it costs you to obtain it and what the market will do. The former you can calculate, the latter is anyone's guess and is pretty much unpredictable. Keep in mind that if you buy a $2900 setup you'll first have to earn $2900 plus electricity costs of running them in whatever crypto before you make a profit.
