Weekly wins and losses thread
Been thinking about this all week. undervolting bought me 4% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Am I missing something obvious?
Strong disagree with the last reply — the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. What's your setup?
Difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power.
The noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. the attic was the real fix. Convince me otherwise.
Not sure I buy that. I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Would you do it differently?
