Couldn’t agree more. It was fun learning about it, and I can say I’ve done some mining. But that’ll be the end of my journey!

I was curious to see what all the hype was about surrounding mining, Etherium in particular. After 24 hours, I've made $11, with my 3090 under volted and under clocked, producing a hash rate of ~100M\hs. My take away is that the memory junction sits way too hot for my liking, at 90-92...

haha if only I looked first before posting - whoops!

I think a photography sub forum would be really good for the community. A few of us are keen photographers (I’m amateur!) but there could be a some good activity in it?

I was expecting much longer too! Now I need to stop looking at 4000+ MHz kits 🤣🤣

Good news, memtest86 showed a nice clean pass :)

I had a 286 originally, with 8MB RAM 🤣 (and I’m only in my 30’s!)

And I remember playing on my first ever Voodoo graphics card with 8MB RAM :D Those were the days, Quake and Doom looked fine back then!

FWIW I find it helpful that with COD Black Ops / Warzone you can cache textures and add all sorts to the VRAM, so it really can be set to meet the maximum specifications of the card. My VRAM usage hovers at around 19GB in those games, for me I know I'd constantly be worried about the 3080...

I'm on high performance at the moment, what would your recommendation be?

Yeah that's Karhu, I read a few different posts regarding memory stress testers. Older posts, admittedly, stating that MemTest86 was not as likely to identify errors compared to Karhu? As you've said though, if it gets left to run over night it won't do any harm to run that too, and it's free...

For anyone interested, my Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3200MHz 64GB kit (CL16-18-18-36) now runs at a comfortable 3400MHz with CL16-16-17-36 timings. This has seen notable benchmark improvements: Baseline, stock D.O.C.P: After OC'ing: Voltage was increased slightly from 1.350v to 1.375v...

It's worth the wait chaps, honestly!

I have the Alienware aw3821dw. It’s a beautiful beast!

Ive saved a stable and ‘in testing’ set of profiles 👍

That’s excellent advice thanks, I’ll need to read and digest all of that. I’m just thankful it’s posting now, the safe timings on the ryzen dram timing tool seemed to be very unsafe and unfortunate for me! First time messing with gear down and anything other than the first few digits though...

So, much like @NoddyPirate I believe, I thought that by buying some of the highest spec kit out there, there wouldn't be a need for any overclocking. And then.... Well the Crosshair VIII is made for overclocking, right? The Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro marketing does reference specially selected...

Absolutely stunning work here, easy to understand too! Thanks for posting!

Two weeks from order to delivery for me, as I also opted for the Strix impatient tax 🤣

haha, you’ll be delighted to hear that for the cost, the specialist courier deliver it to the room of your choice! 🤣
