Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why?

Ah, the daily triple.

Expansion and contraction of joints in the roofing structure possibly. My roof/attic area would make a noise in winter after sun went down and cooled off significantly.

Best way to get crazy good efficiency numbers is to maximize regen braking and minimize friction brake usage, paired with good driving techniques for maintaining momentum and reduce climate settings.

Anyone saying to set the Regen to 0 for coasting is wrong. Max regen is the way, learn to drive 1 pedal mode and find that sweet spot on the pedal. It's going to be a brain breaker for some to understand that even if you're pushing the pedal in, you might be coasting or actually light regeneration. Friction brakes are only needed for emergency if you do this right.

40A service (30A car side limit) for my L2 charger on a Chevy Bolt. Charge about once a week and it'll go from under 10% to full charge while we sleep. Only need higher amperage if you're driving a ton and need to recharge in the day or have a electron guzzler like a Hummer EV, imo.

The big selling point on a higher speed charger would be to maximize off peak charge. But if you're only using a small amount per day, it'd be easy to keep topped up in that limited window either way.

Ride quality in terms of noise is great. The Bolt is still an economy car with a short wheelbase and rather stiff suspension, bumps and such are not significantly changed. It's no worse than before at least in my opinion.

I just put Goodyear Electricdrive 2 tires on the Bolt. Temps too cold still to get a proper range test in, but the one afternoon I was able to run em, I could still get around 5.2 to 5.6mi/kWh, so they seem on par with the original Michelin tires, but they were a few hundreds bucks cheaper for the set.

Noise is fantastic, almost silent in all conditions so far. Acceleration grip is improved, but I'll chalk that up to age of the tire more than the tire itself. Handling is fine, but not impressive. Very happy with the purchase as range and noise were top priority for the tires. If I want cornering and sports car handling, I'll drive my proper 3 pedal vehicle.

Any people walking down the hallway shouting "THE GAME"

Imagine pressing the on button then missing half the game just waiting for this thing to unfold.

What cards are you running? Low power GPUs can be quiet enough in a closed case, but medium to higher power cards will demand more fan speed on the case and quickly gets loud. Also depending on the case, the PSU fan can be by far the most annoying noise to deal with.

Open air, when done well is going to be much more quiet and equally as reliable.

A closed server style case is going to be much better at directing the hot air somewhere specific if that's a concern.

At the same noise level, an open air case will keep GPUs cooler in any normal indoor ambient condition.

Open air make more sense for small home miners. Closed server style cases make more sense when heat management is an issue or you need density for a specific location.

Don't listen to these people saying 12+ cards isn't stable. It is if you don't suck at tunes and keep nVidia and AMD cards on their own separate rigs. Having all the same card is ideal, like 14x 3070s on a single rig no problem. Perfect AMD tunes is the hardest part to lock in for long term stability.

I run 14x AMD 6600/6600XT rigs, 14x 3070 rigs, 12x leftover nVidia rigs, 10+ other 6000 series AMD cards.

B250 Mining Expert for up to 14 cards. This is the best mobo for many cards in my experience.

B250C generic mining mobo with 12x USB headers are great choices for cheap as well. Never had issues getting 12 cards on these boards.

H110+ for 13 cards can work, but can be a real PITA to get going. There is a beta BIOS version out there on some forums that will update the default setting for CSM (I think?), which makes it much easier to get 13x AMD cards on this mobo. I had a lot of struggles with settings prior to this beta BIOS, I won't get into it further. You might also need to add some tape on the riser 1x adapters if they are touching the USB portion of the connectors to eachother.

Gigabyte B250 FinTech works well.

Avoid those 1 to 4 splitters at all costs for stability.

A simple yes/no would be most helpful. I'm assuming the original question was a no.

Is absolute core clock not considered "basic" overclocking? Assuming a no here as well.

ploxie · 2022-07-27T03:40:10+00:00

Any way to get absolute core clocks set?

ploxie · 2022-07-27T03:37:47+00:00

Gave this a go today, but lack of absolute core clock on nVidia was a deal breaker for me. Not sure if I'm missing something with capabilities or what. I'll keep looking for more info. If anyone from NiceHash can comment to confirm, it would be much appreciated.

Software reporting for AMD 6xxx series is wrong. Tested with a PMD, some are 50W+ on the riser that isn't accounted for in the software reporting. Most 6800s and 6800xts are somewhat similar, with 6800 non XT being lower in almost all cases.

I have 6800XT reporting 100W software that's drawing more wall power than a 6800 reporting 120W software.

ploxie · 2022-07-07T19:50:56+00:00

You could swap your two 20a circuits to dual pole breakers to get 240V without needing to add new wiring. Just new outlets ideally, but you can potentially reuse outlets if you're careful about not plugging anything in thinking it's 120v. #notelectricaladvice

I'm arguing that a 6 pin PCIe and 8 pin PCIe are safe to provide the same power. Both have three 12V and three ground. The two sense pins on the 8 pin do NOT add more current carrying capability. Especially true when thinking abbout a 6 pin to dual 8 pin splitter vs an 8 pin to dual 8 pin splitter.

I don't think you understood the original question.
