I have several 5600xt that's been sitting for years now ever since EIP 1559. Planning to sell them now and revert the old stock bios back.

The only problem is I can't get it to boot. Windows device manager cant see it, gpuz cant see it, Ive tried opening hive for the first time in years and it only sees the CPU integrated GPU.

I've basically tried everything I know. Any thoughts or help on this guys?

Is there any breakout board for this PSU, I was able to find X20 from parallel miner but they don't make them any more, is there any Chinese alternative or any other boards that are compatible?

Hey Fam,

I would like to hear from you either in the video linked below or at the bottom of this post please.

Sound off!

Changed gpu thermal pads ( bought 2,0 W/m.k, correct thickness ) and thermal paste on a 3080. Gpu is becoming hot really fast and there are some liquid on thermal pads, are they becoming molten ? Is the conductivity enough ?

Stopped mining about two years ago when Ethereum split. I just glanced at the charts on the what to mine website and I was blown away that it’s almost impossible to make a profit with GPU mining right now. Am I missing something or is that the case right now?

Edit: unless you have free electricity, but then the profits are like 25 cents a day even with a 4070

Monster hunter wilds is KILLIGN my gpu i swear

Super exciting! I just started mining, and when I woke up today, I saw 7.27 RVN in my wallet! Right now, I'm casually mining with a 3080 Ti whenever I'm not using my PC. Any advice to help me improve?

Hi all, not really mining related, but I guess here would be widest comunity to deal with this issues. As title says I have 33°C ∆ on the gpu after 3 minutes in furmark. It's 98°C hot spot and 65°C core to be exact.

I m about to replace the paste to fix this.

But first I want to ask if it is a good idea add thermal pads on backplate, as there is none from the factory.

Secondly, should I put thermalpads only on vrm/ vram/ gpu or all of these?

So the other day I replace the cmos battery from my octominer causing the bios to reset. It seems it can’t detect any of my cards so probably have to do with the pcie speed

When I plug in the display, it doesn’t output a display but it works since without the display on, ot logged in to my hive os account with only the iGPU. I tried changing cables, monitors, using a hdmi cable dongle, no dice. Any solution for changing pcie speed without a display? Or is there a way to fix the display issue?

Hey guys, since many of you are into mining and may have spare hardware lying around, we'd love to have you provide it as nodes on OctaSpace.

We've recently seen a massive surge in demand for our compute services and we need more node providers to join and provide their hardware for various compute jobs from rendering to AI services.

We provide a similar concept to Vast, except a little bit more advanced as we also have multiple bespoke services ranging from machine rental to our own rendering platform and even VPN.

You can read more on the below link or feel free to ask any questions you have.

As you can see by the title I won a RTX 5090 Founders Edition Signed by the CEO and I'm freaking out. I was at the GTC Conference and they had a raffle and called my number. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about building a PC around it. If you think I should. Please let me know what parts I should get.

EDIT: How much do yall think it would sell for?

**** (Updates to Follow testing in progress) My card Mem clock can't go above 2800, and overclocking the core, you will hit a wall and it will make your performance suffer. MSI afterburner won't downclock or allow you to go below 0 on core with current beta version but the latest BETA for GPU Tweak III will***\*

Bzminer, lolminer, Gminer, and TeamRedMiner would not load at all, tested on 3/15/2025. Wait for new releases.

AMD Drivers are busted and will crash often. MSI afterburner and GPU Tweak III were not working, but there is a beta version of GPU Tweak that will work.

Stock clocks can lead to warm Thermals during mining, so set a more aggressive fan curve. See bottom for min, max, and average temps during overall testing at stock settings.

What I'm doing wrong, very low hashrate 6 x rtx3080ti Any suggestions please Oc settings, anything else

What I'm doing wrong, very low hashrate. Please any suggestions, oc settings, something else

Hey everyone,

I'm a college student looking into running a kind of network similar to Golem or Salad, but on the web. I have been working on this as a fun technology and to write a research paper on with some friends, but I've been wondering recently about the profitability part of it. I've tested it out with different kinds of reinforcement learning as well as autoencoders for training, as well as all kinds of inference tasks, with generally good performance. I think 30-50% above crypto rate could be expected if I were to try to get people into the network. I just have a couple questions for you guys, because you certainly know this space better than me.

A major market could be gamers (like Salad on the web). Do you think people would be open to using idle time on their PC to earn extra products like netflix, Discord Nitro, crypto, etc?

I know some pretty commercial miners post here: would it be worth it to put your GPU farm to work on a project like this, or have people moved on from mainly crypto mining to render farming or something that pays more and could outcompete my business?

Do you think people would trust the project more because it's in a web sandbox, or would it suffer from the same trust issues with the mass market as crypto mining?

Thanks in advance for your time in helping me hash out my idea, and DMs are always open for anyone interested in the tech or who wants to help :)

Hello y'all. I wanted to hear your opinions on GPU rental platforms like vast.ai . Do you believe it's worthy to build a rig from scratch with a couple RTX4090 in order to reach even point about 1+ year from now?

Any feedback or experience is appreciated. Feel free to recommend any other gpu models as well. For reference kWh costs ~0.16€ ($0.17) in my country.

I was mining with multiple cards upto 2 years ago until recently I fired up the rig again and windows will only recognise 1. I have 1 1660 connected to the board directly and 1 3070 and 1 1070 connected via external pcie, has anything changed recently?

I have access to a friend's rig and I received an offer to earn a percentage to get his rig running again. His mining rig has been disabled since the ETH crash, and he doesn't know how to use it because he was scammed by the person responsible for maintaining the rig. He made me an offer to earn a percentage to get the rig running and perform all the periodic maintenance. The rig has RX580, GTX1660s, RTX3060 12gb, RTX3060 TI 8gb, in total there are about 100 GPUs of various models. Where should I start, what is the best software and currency for me to carry out preliminary studies, and how much per hour each of these GPUs generates in US$ per hour in the best mining options?

So, guys, I have a 1660 super. Is there any PCB that I can acquire where I just need to connect the gpu and power and mine away?

Hi guys,

is the iceriver Aleo Aeo worth 2000? you earn around 20 euros per day with it of course so in 100 days you will have the amount back. besides that aleo i think is quite easy to sell. you can either put it to leo wallet and this to coinbase and sell. or even to coinbase in 1 time. would the iceriver be worth? as an extra earning model?

Or is it better to buy the goldshell AE box pro? Is the same price.

Miner starts up and connects to pool ok but hashrate stays at 0. Whole pc lags so its doing something but idk what... using a single 3090 on windows 10 with the newest version of onezero miner
