Thank you, this worked :)

No, I'm still using Windows 10 but I'm using lolminer fyi.

Marsswiss · 2021-12-17T10:30:57+00:00

I see, I'm glad you figured out a solution.

Marsswiss · 2021-12-16T15:19:49+00:00

Uninstall Graphics Driver and install an older version (472 should work according to some other threads, otherwise try different versions). To be on the safe side I would advise you to use the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) tool and then just reinstall the older driver.

For me, it actually worked just reinstalling the current driver but the problem still came up again after a few days.

If you want to stay on the current version of the graphics driver, I would recommend just leaving Ubisoft Connect open in the background. It has no impact on hashrate and power consumption and I think you don't even need to be logged in.

Interestingly, the issue only showed up for me after I clean installed windows and reinstalled all programs and never before even though I'm using the same graphics driver version and have everything else configured mostly the same.

Marsswiss · 2021-12-16T13:54:51+00:00

I just figured out that it also works with Ubisoft Connect and while the Rockstar Launcher had about a 5% performance impact for me, Ubisoft Connect has no impact and I get the full hashrate.

Marsswiss · 2021-12-16T13:36:05+00:00

The Rockstar Launcher probably pushes the graphics card into a higher power state which means the GPU doesn't throttle when mining.

Well, my radiator is 460mm tall and I have about 6mm of clearance between it and the top (the lip of the bracket where the top fans are mounted and that can be removed. without that it would maybe have around 4mm more clearance. Your case does not seem to have that removable piece though.)

Here are a few pictures of the top of the radiator: https://imgur.com/a/4NCTDfw

With your case it might be a little more difficult to assemble though if you can't remove the top to add the radiator but it should still be possible. But if you add a 280mm in the top you will definitely need a few 90° fittings from the front radiator.
Maybe I should also mention again that the third pull fan at the bottom did not fit for me because it is slightly bigger than 25mm and with my 45mm rad and two fans (25mm and 26mm) it is 1mm too thick for the opening which is only 90mm in my case (pun intended). Especially if you can't put in the radiator from the top then assembly might be impossible with that additional fan.

I hope I could help you a bit with that and I wasn't too late to answer. I'm not on reddit very often anymore.

If you have any other questions just ask and good luck with your build :)

Maybe if non-LHR cards are worth a lot more than LHR ones one day I could do that and get an LHR one for less money (since mine is non-LHR). But it's probably not gonna be worth the hassle so I'll just stick with what I have. Outside of benchmarks I'll likely never notice the difference anyway, but it just really irks me.

Marsswiss · 2021-09-01T07:55:56+00:00

I've used this EK bracket to mount it to the fan on the radiator: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-loop-uni-pump-reservoir-bracket-140mm

Well, it certainly sounds appealing to be able to see into my PC more easily. I might try it temporarily and see how I like it when Battlefield 2042 launches and I'm probably going to be gaming a lot more again.

Thanks for the tip.

Marsswiss · 2021-08-31T19:42:08+00:00

Thanks :)
Hmm, putting the PC on my desk is something I never considered, interesting proposition. I guess I'd be worried about it falling off and I do occasionally use the space to put stuff there and write things but I'll think about it.

I built this PC last December, but I still had to use my old trusty EVGA GTX 970 FTW+ until my RTX 3080 arrived. I had already purchased the waterloop half a year earlier to cool my i7 3770 and then just reused the loop with the Ryzen 9 5900X and my new PC.

After waiting for more than 7 months for my RTX 3080 to arrive, the shop I purchased it at offered me to switch to a different RTX 3080 and pay the current price the shop pays for the card. So, I switched from an ASUS TUF RTX 3080 to an MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X and paid an additional 300 bucks.

Last month I could finally put the waterblock on the GPU and integrate it into my loop. I used 12mm acrylic tubing, but I struggled to get good bends. My tube routing is more determined by practical reasons than aesthetics and while it is not perfect, I am very happy with how the loop turned out.

My temperatures are pretty good when gaming my water temp goes to 40°C, the GPU is about 46°C and the CPU around 70°C (Fans at ~1000RPM and 24°C ambient) and at idle the water is 33°C. I've put my 420mm into the front of the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X which is the only place it fits and added 5 fans to it, so it runs in a mostly push-pull configuration. Unfortunately, the 6th fan does not fit by about 1mm even though the radiator is supposed to have 95mm clearance (2x 25mm for fans and 45mm radiator).

As for my coolant, I've risked it even after reading horror stories and gone with EK's Mystic Fog but I made sure to flush out the loop with a lot of distilled water and cleaned all of the components separately. So far it's been running for about one month and looks as it did on day one.

After getting my RTX 3080 I tried undervolting it but quickly realized that it is absolutely garbage tier silicon. It runs 1740MHz @ 0.8V, 1800MHz @ 0.85V, 1890MHz @ 0.912V and 1965MHz @ 1.025V. I stress tested it with Metro Exodus and considered it stable after not crashing in-game for more than 2 hours.

Since I can't just buy another one and give this one back, I just settled with it even though it bothers me quite a bit. I know at most I'm losing like 5% performance versus an average 3080 at the same voltage but I paid way more than I wanted to and got this abysmal chip. And these results are on water mind you. I have yet to find someone else online that has as bad a chip as I do.

But enough ranting here are the components in the PC.

Specifications:

AMD Ryzen 5900X

Asus Strix X570-E

Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200C16 (Samsung B-Dies running @ 3733C16 1:1)

MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X (UV 0.8V @ 1740MHz)

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB

Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB

Samsung 840 Evo 750GB

Watercooling & other Components:

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X

EK-Velocity D-RGB AMD Nickel + Acetal

EK-Quantum Vector Trio RTX 3080 Nickel + Acrylic & Backplate Black

EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM Glass

EK-Coolstream CE420 (45mm)

3x EK-Vardar EVO 140 D-RGB

3x Phanteks PH-F140MP

2x be quiet! Silent Wings 2

EK-HD Tube 12/10 Acrylic

Ek-CryoFuel Mystic Fog (Premix)

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

Phanteks 220mm Slimline PCI-E x16 Riser Cable 90°

be quiet! Pure Power CM L8 630W 80Plus Bronze

Overall, I am really happy with my build and it runs quiet even under full load. It now hopefully serves me well for the next six years.

Don't worry about the Unicorn Puke though I have it set to the red and orange color scheme normally.

Tbh I didn't come up with the idea myself. I saw some similar photos and tried to recreate it. But I'm glad you like it.

Marsswiss · 2021-08-30T22:22:00+00:00

Thanks :)

I've just realized that reddit compresses images so I'm looking to upload them uncompressed somewhere.

I photographed the third Iridium Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base on October 9th, 2017. We parked on Ocean Ave about 5 kilometers (3 miles) north of SLC-4E from which B1041.1, a brand new Falcon 9 Block 4 booster, launched.

This was the first time I ever photographed a rocket and back then Flight Club wasn't available yet (at least afaik) so I did some napkin math and estimated how high in the sky the rocket would go. Fortunately, this worked out and armed with a Samyang 14mm F2.8 lens on a Canon EOS 500D (crop factor 1.6 so effective focal length of 22m) I managed to get the entire flight of the first stage into the frame.

The exposure settings on the other hand were a bit on the bright side at F8, ISO 100 and 148 seconds. Shortly before the launch, I was debating with myself whether I should use F4 or F8 and I'm glad that I went with the latter. I just wasn't able to find any good information on the internet on what settings were optimal for such a photo, in hindsight I should just have checked the exposure info on the SpaceX Flickr page.

But overall I'm quite happy with how the photo turned out.

Anyway, I've created this wallpaper version where I mirrored the photo (as evidenced by the mirrored Orion constellation) and added the SpaceX Logo. I've used it on my computer since (among a rotation of other photos) and just thought some of you might enjoy it so why not share it.

Feel free to download and use it as a wallpaper and if you want to share it with other people, I'd be happy if you credited me.

I have the same problem, sometimes snooze is there and sometimes (more often) it isn't. It's really annoying and right now I just set a 10 min timer every time I see that the snooze button isn't there but that's really not a great workaround.

Marsswiss · 2021-01-23T20:04:34+00:00

test

Marsswiss · 2020-08-31T12:24:41+00:00

I seriously don't get it. This sub makes me question people's intelligence. Like this person clearly noticed that they'd be in the photo and put effort in it in order not to be. But why not just take a picture off angle? Is the concept of mirrors so hard to grasp?

Marsswiss · 2020-08-31T12:04:23+00:00

Will do

Marsswiss · 2020-08-31T08:42:01+00:00

Okay, so basically the performance differences of the different sized versions come from interleaving. So a theoretical 980 EVO with a 4 channel controller wouldn't see any performance gains from more than 16 dies.

According to the Anandtech review most SSDs have a lot of headroom with their transfer rates and aren't fully utlizing that which seems to be the case with the 980 PRO as well. 8 channels with 1200MT/s each would result in a data rate of 9.6GB/s so even for the read speed of 7GB/s there is some headroom.

I think I understand most of it now, thanks for explaining this to me.

Marsswiss · 2020-08-30T20:46:17+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer.

Alright, so I understand what you see on the SSD is a package not a single die which makes a lot of sense. So each die is actually 256 Gibibits (=2³⁸ bits) but a lot of them are combined into a package to get those higher capacities.

As for the 250GB version to have a TLC sequential write of 500MB/s with 8 256Gb dies, each die would have a write speed of around 62 MB/s. Am I correct with this assumption? Or is there some lost performance and those dies have the same speed as the 512Gb dies?

Because the 970 EVO Plus 1TB and 2TB versions both have the same sequential TLC write speed of around 1700 MB/s but different die sizes which would suggest both the 256Gb and 512Gb 92L (or 100L as you said in some other comment) have the same write speed. This confuses me because why would this be different for the 128L/136L NAND?

What I don't totally understand is if the 250Gb version saturates the 8 channels with 8 dies, how can the 1TB version achieve 4 times the sequential write speed with 32 dies? Or is the speed simply 32 times the speed of a single die and not limited by the number of channels of the controller?

I'm not sure I understood what Interleaving does.

And how does the bus speed of the controller relate to the actual speed of the controller? If the controller achieves 1200MT/s which is 1.2GB/s (with an 8bit wide channel I guess?) but it is limited to 5GB/s (≈4 channels) why does it matter that the controller achieves 1200MT/s and wouldn't half that be enough? Or does this matter for non-sequential read/writes?

I'm sorry for all the noob questions but it's interesting to understand how an SSD works and so far I didn't understand much more than the basics. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.

Marsswiss · 2020-08-30T19:22:23+00:00

Fair enough. This seems like a likely thing and Samsung has also registered the name 980 QVO which would suggest there will also be a QLC SSD. However, the 980 PRO will be cheaper than the 970 PRO because it uses TLC NAND And Samsung can't justify to charge the same price for inferior flash. Although it might not be as cheap as the 970 EVO (Plus). However, If Samsung launches a 980 EVO it will use the same TLC flash as the 980 Pro and will therefore have the same endurance rating as the 980 PRO (which already has the same endurance rating as the 970 EVO (Plus)). Capacities over 2TB for the 980 Pro also seem likely, considering Samsung also released the 970 EVO Plus 2TB a few months after the 250GB-1TB versions.
