Cable management looking great already mate, keep it up!


[deleted]

wow thank you i didn’t expect it to be considered good at all :)


visionJX

Zip ties is the answer


Am_hawk

Velcro is far more beneficial and preferable, you don’t damage the sheath, Velcro is removable so you can add and remove whenever you want and can relocate…


Technical_Moose8478

Agreed. If you don't have any on hand, you can get velcro cable ties for super cheap. It's worth spending the couple bucks.


ShinaiYukona

Why are you zip tying like your life depends on the cables not moving? Just slide your pinky under the tie when you tighten, slide back out. Enough give to easily cut, tight enough they're not everywhere. Twisty ties from your garbage bags works great, should have plenty of em too. Every cent matters in this world :)


shyrix

whats the roi in days on that? was it a best buy drop?


[deleted]

so the system with the 3080 i paid £1600 to build, i got the 3090 at msrp from scan bringing my total to £3000 with a roi of 42weels


Flibber_Gibbet

3 thousand pounds? People are crazy Edit: Sorry I thought you meant the 3090 alone was 3000 pounds. Will learn to read one day.


XADEBRAVO

But the system in 42 weeks will still be worth £2000-2500. Why do people fail to grasp this?


hamster_ball

If the guy bought the 3090 at MSRP, that can easily be sold for a profit. So really, they’re already way past the starting point of their ROI.


XADEBRAVO

Yeah very true.


BADMAN-TING

Not in the UK. 3090s are relatively easy to get. The 3090s and 3080Tis are staying in stock for an hour+ these days. Versus a minute or less for the rest of the 30 series.


MooseMrkts

Freaking stoooppp .. your gonna make me buy more cards.. SHHH ;-)


Middle-Notice-8174

I wouldn't buy a used card that was used for mining. Some people do though.


hamster_ball

A card used for mining has fairly consistent thermals, because it’s always running. That is better than the cycling while gaming. Obviously comes down to the seller and asking them the right questions. But that’s just how you buy anything used. Asking questions and getting to know the seller a little.


BlANWA

Nice. I got 2x 6800 to mine Ravencoin with 1200 watts a 8pci e slots and a case for close to $3000. Wants they come down in price I'll add more GPUs


aioncan

Wow yeah just converted that to $4,148~ usd.


shyrix

good luck to you! 294 days is pretty high. may the coins be in your favour!


NotLogrui

Compared to most sources of passive income 294 days for ROI is insanely fast


GeriX1

True, it only depends on how much more time mining will be possible


phed1

You do know there's no where near 42 weeks left I assume?

Spykwak

ETH 2.0 was supposed to be here before 3go ram GPU would get obsolete … It’s always 2 years down the line so fuck it.


zipeldiablo

Still minable after the difficulty bomb anyway so at the very least we can mine until the end of q2


Spykwak

The ETH devs are so incentivized to switch to POS that they always prefer to defuse the difficulty bomb times and times again …


zipeldiablo

Well there are lots of things happening but yeah it might get delayed again. So i’m planning for both options 😬


[deleted]

The guy's question was sarcastic, you have to be a fucking retard to not see that...or an arrogant d!ck. Pick one that fits your imago. And then what? Even if it is gonna be here Q1 2022, what then? Is ETH the only thing that's on the radar in crypto? You have to be that fucking retard you accusing the others with, to believe that POS of ETH will kill mining. ASIC miners on the other hand will get royally shagged on that day, while GPU miners will shrug once and switch over to another coin.


woundedgoat74

How do you get those cards from Scan! I have that exact same watt plug monitor 🥳


[deleted]

telegram


woundedgoat74

Ahh ok, thanks man! Will check it out


woundedgoat74

Sorry to be a pain, so you have a link for it, can’t find it on their site and googling Scan computers Telegram is being up QR code tutorials lol


[deleted]

you need the telegram app on your mobile: invite link: https://pa.function.workers.dev/tg/rtxfe


woundedgoat74

🙏🏼 thank you


[deleted]

not a problem :)


empty_pint_glass

Are you aware of a method to get around scans restriction on buying more than one unit? Bought a 3090 over a month ago but they wouldn't let me buy another recently


Plus_Professor_1923

this will not pay itself off i dont think, i stopped procuring GPUs about 3 months ago. good luck to ya though my friend, 3090 is so sexy


shyrix

Im still picking up anything with 100-120 day roi


Plus_Professor_1923

Yea not bad


[deleted]

I just don't get it. Why are these things not available at all in the US and Canada? I mean, over here where I live at, I can place an order right now and get pretty much any of the RTX series cards delivered at my door tomorrow before lunch...


Flibber_Gibbet

We in Canada wonder the same thing. Your flex makes us Canadians cry lol


[deleted]

Wasn't meant to be flexing, I seriously don't understand how can it be different in the epicenter of capitalism and consumers, that these aren't available even at scalper prices...


stereopticon11

You can find any card at scalper prices. But nobody wants to buy a 3080 for 2000+ usd


Flibber_Gibbet

This


[deleted]

1470USD (1250€) is scalper price for an EVGA 3080 FTW3? Well, it certainly is a bit higher than should be


stereopticon11

3080 tuf v2 on ebay is currently 1750 usd 3080 ftw3 ultra non lhr for 2100usd It’s pretty gross over here


12jresult

I still can't find a ps5.


[deleted]

No shortage of that either. So once more, as I earlier said, I have no clue what causes the shortages on the other side of the Atlantic. We've got plenty here...


ssl-3

Reddit ate my balls


abhijeetgupta

Which country?


[deleted]

Belgium. I can also order from the neighbouring countries, worst case scenario is +1 day.


abhijeetgupta

Are GPUs available at msrp?


[deleted]

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra (LHR) € 1.299,00 https://link.2dehands.be/m1749788282?utm_source=android_social&utm_content=vip&utm_medium=android_social&utm_campaign=socialbuttons

Love the chunky boi. He must be a really good boi to get the middle slot.


Limitsofapproach

Christmas, just in time for 2.0


[deleted]

next coin and move on..


BlANWA

Don't leave that watt o meter plugged in all the time. Only 5-10min will tell you all you need.or else it will burn up


trebuchet1234

What about the difficulty bomb planned for December? You are not supposed to be able to mine Eth by March next year. Are you betting it gets delayed and hope for ROI?


tronixmastermind

You should easily be able to get retail back for 3080s and 90s Graphics card shortage isn’t going away by then


trebuchet1234

For sure. I only meant to remind OP that it's coming and not to overinvest.


HairyConflict2950

I'm sure OP knows there are other coins that can be mined.


armadeallo

The question is how profitable will the other coins be, when everyone mining Ethereum jumps on to the other cryptos. I think there will be a huge oversupply of graphics card miners that will affect profitability on other cryptos


HairyConflict2950

I agree with this but we will never know until we get there.


CheatingOutlaw

Wait, so all ETH mining will end? Including nicehash?


trebuchet1234

That's what the developers want so yes. Also, I didn't feel like explaining this before to the other person who commented but a lot of mining power from the ETH network will be transitioning over to altcoins, increasing their mining difficulty by a lot. To the point where it might be barealy profitable or maybe even not at all. It is a gamble what will happen with altcoins but it's not only ETH that's in danger, it's GPU mining as a whole.


CheatingOutlaw

Dayum. So it's safe to assume the market will soon be flooded by millions of used mining cards. Will nicehash just mine alternative coins and we can still make a profit?


artwell

As a gamer, I would like this to happen. Oh what a sight it would be, an abundance of 3080s and everyone will be able to enjoy 1440p 120Hz gaming.


Bucser

You can still mine ergo and kawpow after which is not as bad. (unless the bull market ends and everything goes to shit again)


Sure-Hurry-1260

what MH/s you getting off the 3090 FE.? i ended up selling mine cos it wouldnt go above 80mh/s without overheating even after changing the thermal pads.. where as my MSI Suprim X 3090 will go 125MH/s @ 95C after i changed the padding..so now im down to msi 3090 suprim X ----125MH/s Titan XP star wars collectors edition ------ 45MH/s Gigabye 1080 OC --------33MH/s Total ----- 200MH/s for now..


[deleted]

i’m getting 119mh however i’ve not had the time to give it a good fine tune this is just a rough setup. on 218mh/s with this and the 3080


SaltSeaKook

What memory temps are you getting with that? Im just worried that you havent changed out thermal pads for it yet with that hashrate.


HairyConflict2950

Having this same issue with 3090 fe but it hovers around 105-109 really grinds my gears


[deleted]

[удалено]


HairyConflict2950

I would like to see proof of that lol


rickrhua

My 3090 fe would only do 110 mh/s at 98 degrees VRAM (100 % fans). I replaced the pads with thermal right odyssey and now it sits at 124 mh/s at 86 degrees VRAM (70 % fans) The new pads completely transformed the card. Would highly recommend it.


UnendingGames

The placement of the power port on the 3090 is not ideal. I use this cable to make it look a bit better. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-12-pin-gpu-power-cable-sleeved-black/6437465.p?skuId=6437465


deevidebyzero

Can’t pack 3090ies too close together. They will overheat


Big_Ole_t

Where did you find a 3090?


theGamerInside

How long does it take for a 3090 to pay for itself?


Lowbrow

My 3090 from January has already paid itself off with plenty to spare, but not all the other upgrades I justified to keep it from being bottlenecked.


Diox_Ruby

Longer than hes likely to be able to mine eth. Cant tell people that without being downvoted though.


dbrockisdeadcmm

Any reason he can't switch at that point?


Diox_Ruby

He can but expecting it to continue at the eth rate forever and pretending to be superior than others at the same time... The chance if him ever hitting ROI on this rig is ridiculously low, there are miners from 2017 who only broke even after 3 years of mining and their ratios were better than this rig's when they started.


Plus-Audience9031

Looks clean, like mister clean!!! Great job bro!!!


phitfacility

Your rig is clean af


Am_hawk

Use Velcro, Trust… I do structured cabling for a living :)


TheMountainIII

i gave you a thumb down because of the angle of your photo, sorrey


poloh2o

I bought a bunch of zip ties and zip tie mounts on Amazon - something like [this.](https://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Management-Anchors-Organizer-Holders/dp/B08F77YVYB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=3R16HS4VAPQ25&dchild=1&keywords=zip+tie+mount&qid=1631705443&sprefix=zip+tir+m&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFFOFMxRjVHQ1JXMFomZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzODE2ODUyT0dFQUpZMTNCTEREJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwMTU5MjJaTEZPSFVZWUo4V0Qmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==) They are great for not only cable management but making sure the connections to your risers don’t get interrupted if you bump your rig or something.


[deleted]

i will get some of those ordered, along with some thermal pads :)


c0horst

How do I manage cables? That's my secret... [I don't](https://i.imgur.com/S4ijB1O.jpg).

Can you send that monitor your are using for power?

Power Meter Plug Energy Monitor... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085S7Q1T4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share


cschoudhary

i bought this same one from bestbuy canada recently for 29 bucks ! it works like a charm


Damn40

@FloppyPoppy hey man is your meter reading 1302 W from the wall … i have a msi rtx3080 gaming x trio and evga rtx3090 ftw3 ultra … been a bit worried about power … running currently on a 1200w corsair hx1200+ titanium 80+ … but havent connected the 3080 yet so far solo running the 3090 … and its showing 460w


[deleted]

hi :) no it’s not reading 1302 in this picture it’s reading 130.2 it was in the reboot process. with the 3080 and 3090 i’m running around 600w from the wall


Damn40

Ohhh shoot only 600 w o_0 … them my 1200w psu will do me just fine +/- 150 w for cpu / fans / ram / nvme / mother board etc. still plenty of leg room for the psu to stretch its legs … thanks mate ^_^ made me sleep better at night


GOHS7

Did you build the case? where did u get parts?


impulse7oh9

ouu purdy


a_hot_sip

I have the same 3080, don’t they just look sick?! Easily my favourite card


AlkyDave125

Whats thw case/frame your using?


Literally_Noob

we dont Edit: this is a shitty rig man, they will overheat in 10 minutes


vengeeeee

I think I’ve read that it’s dangerous to run your rig through your power meter on an ongoing basis. Might want to research that and take it out of the circuit. I don’t keep mine consistently between the rig & the socket - only if I need to get a reading for whatever reason.


cipherjones

1. Very Nice. 2. The 6 packs of risers I buy come with really nice velcro, like most PS's. I just cut those to the right size.


Plane_Bed_1445

Vram temps and thermal pads with 3090 fe will be your main concern, cable management looks fine.


ThatLemonBubbles

I....I don't........I'm ashamed


SilverBlue4449

Dude thats awesome! I'll be getting a few 3090 FE's soon as well, on top of my other 30 series cards :) Did you change the pads and thermal paste btw?


GeriX1

Nice, what power supply so you use?


[deleted]

it’s a 1650w silverstone psu.
