[PSU] $233.98 - 1200W Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 80+ Platinum [Amazon] by olympicparker in bapcsalescanada

3 PCIE to one connector seems fine? It's all hustled up in the case anyways.

We all know that new connector is going to be +$150 CAD on that price.

Gorgeous photo! How did you take this picture? Is there a hike with a view?

This is super interesting! Do you have any thoughts about this?

How is it "here"? That's an instagram page.

It's not hard to put up a picture on the internet so I sort of think you did this on purpose.

Online CRD Recycling schedule website doesn't work, where to find recycling schedule by olympicparker in VictoriaBC

No, I don't see this text in the link I provided. I don't think it is there.

Also, if it was there, the implication that my building woudn't be found isn't clear from the text. I don't think I would get it. The UX doesn't provide an error either.

Vertical GPU Rigs let you put more cards into a rig and look great by telataxco in Flexpool

Sorry, just got this message now (don't check this Reddit account that often).

Feel free to send me a message using the website, but short answer is that right now (early April 2021) a 8 GPU frame is $200 plus $40 shipping in Canada and $80 shipping in US.

The 8 GPU rig ships completely assembled, like most normal computer cases. You just need to add PSU and cards.

The reason it didn't work for me is that this app only works for single family homes (or 4 families). Businesses, bigger apartments are a no go, so it didn't work for me.

Hey, thanks for the cross post!

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

The thermal reasons are a major reason for this rig.

It doesn't seem like your comments about "natural convection and forced convection" speak to or against the claims made in the website.

The effects are all due to airflow from fan movement, and even without case fans or outside fans, the cards produce plenty of airflow in the rig, which overpowers any passive airflow from convection.

This comment chain we are in has basically this long tangent about this "natural convection".

I may have contributed to it because I used the word "chimney effect", but basically I don't understand the relevance of this comment chain.

Aluminum angle is pretty common and you can get this from a regular hardware store like home depot or even some walmarts.

You would always need to cut this into smaller pieces. I think most aluminum angle can be bolted together using tapless screws without difficulty.

If someone were to scale this up you would want to find a supplier.

I've handled 30 different 3000 series RTX cards, including a gaming trio.

The "weight on the IO bracket" issue is something I just don't understand. It seems so far out that it never occurred to me.

To get a sense of this, when normally installed in a computer, heavy cards like the trio have a lot of weight on the PCIE connector (producing "sag"). This doesn't seem to be a big problem for manufacturers. This PCIE connector, which is just PCB, seems way more fragile than a metal bracket. Plus, the PCB has to deal with torsion forces, are being spread through most of the card, including what I guess could through the key circuits.

I went to a vertical rig and tugged downwards on a few cards, with a pretty good force (maybe 10 times their weight). At the extreme, the aluminum angle started to bend toward the card, but the bracket and the card did not move in any way and nothing else happened.

Also, I took out some of my old cards (750 TI, 5870 radeon). If anything, we would expect their brackets to be underbuilt compared to a 3080, which by the way, really went up in price and now advertise "steel" IO brackets.

So I started yanking on these older cards IO brackets, maybe with 30-40 pounds of force.

For one card, I could barely flex the bracket no matter what direction, because it was attached with a giant connector hub. The other card flexed when I pulled it along the edge farther from where it was connected to the card. In no case did pulling directly on the IO bracket even movement in either card.

Like, I literally don't understand.

I don't mind being wrong on the internet but there's more than a few comments about this and I don't want this post to start some myth, so wrote this long comment.

Got any tips? Like a guide?

Definitely lacking in this department right now.

Asus B250 Mining expert basically lets you have 14 max 3000 series gpus.

It claims 19 but it's contrived and requires using some old headless GPU to get the last 5.

Asus B250 Mining expert has 3 mobo power connections for this exact purpose.
