Mining Ether is all about GPU speed and power! With the performance we were getting from one single new Overclocked 1070 GTX of nearly 31 MH/s , the only next logical thing to do, is Double It! Adding a second GPU brings with it a few concerns though, it's not as straight forward as plug and play, although it could be... Dual SLI 1070 GTX Nvidia GPU First you need to make sure your Power Supply Unit is up to the challenge of powering 2 high-end GPUs like that, I'm using a Corsair AX860, 860 Watts Platinum + certified efficiency. The PSU needs to have the various 8-pin or 6-pin, or 6+2 pin cables required per GPU. The next question will be HEAT , do you have adequate airflow and cooling to handle the heat that will be generated from two cards? because it's a lot more heat than just one card. Try to space the GPUs out as far away from each other as you can, when you're mining the number of PCIe Express lanes a slot has doesn't matter, as long as the GPU f...

Overclocking NVidia GPU 980 GTX to Increase Hash Rate While Mining ETH

After learning about crypto-currency mining, setting up my first Geth account, mining for Ether and joining a mining pool , I was using my MSI GeForce 980 GTX 4G and getting between 18-19 MH/s on Genoil (1.1.7) Ethminer (0.9.41) . Which is alright considering it's an older card now compared to the 10 series from Nvidia, but what happens when we squeeze a little more juice from the GPU? Update: March, 2018: After re-testing this GPU presently the methodology still works for overclocking, but you're absolutely going to see lower hash rates today out of these 980's then you did before the DAG increase, it's the reality of a 4GB card today. Even 1070's w/ 8GBs have seen a minor decrease relative to before, in the good old days of e-z mining rewards. Ethminer at 19 MH/s hash rate Overclocking the 980 GTX to increase the hash rate while mining. The first step in Overclocking any hardware is to learn about the standard settings first. Let's go over a few ...

Decision Science: How do You Choose, What is the Best way to Buy a New iPhone? - Black Friday Deals, Analysis and Results

Retailers and phone companies are notorious for marketing tactics and hidden fees that drive consumers to spend more money without realizing it. The best deals are often hidden in plain sight among a flurry of terms and conditions and some number of easy payments, even more so during seasonal holidays and especially around Black Friday.

How about if you're a skeptic who never signs anything for payment plans come hell or high water so you'll pay full price at Apple and get an unlocked iPhone . Perhaps you're somewhere in between, you're willing to pay a little $ up front in exchange for slightly lower monthly payments? ~Pseudo-Related: Have You Ever Had an Interest in Learning More Code?
