Oh look, this thread again.
>>55375997
Is that m5a97 mb
>>55375997
MemeOK! :^)

The alleged 480 issue wouldn't cause a 24-pin connector to go up in smoke. A bad PSU is literally the only thing that would do so.
I thought GPU mining has been retarded for years by now?
I hope he doesn't get his rma. Miners should be allowed to live.
>>55375997
>Triple RX480
>BUTTCOIN MINING
SERVES THEM RIGHT.
>>55376618
It is, which is why the kind of retard who'd buy three 480s to do it are the only ones left trying.
>buttcoin mining with three 480's on a shit mobo
No reaction image for this
Why Radeo's usually used for mining if Geforce usually has much better power efficiency?
>>55376745
Bad DP performance.
>>55376618
>>55376674
>>55376740
didnt even look at the image
>FUCKING
>GPU
>MINING
WHY?
>MY GPU MADE MY MOBO CONNECTOR BURN OUT
No, it didn't.
>>55376775
Buttcoin mining isn't about double precision.
It's just that Nvidia has shit tier compute performance.
Still, VLIW was better at raw number crunching throughput than GCN.
>>55376544
I don't think any the m5a97's have IDE.
>>55376745
Amd cards have always been the best for mining. When CPUs were the go to hardware, and CPUs beat Intel as well
>>55375997
Miners are fucking cancer. AMD designed 480s so miners will fail. Fuck them.
>>55376798
this
>>55376745
AMD had more raw compute power (muh tflops) and were cheap
>>55377133
Significantly more tflops come from some of the features on AMD cards. Nvidia cards removed them for gaming performance and efficiency.
fucking amd
B-b-but muh trolls
SAY IT'S NOT TRUE RAJA-KUN
>>55377277
This wasn't an issue when people were burning cards by the dozen, why it matter now?
>>55376912
You're the retard, GPU mining hasn't been a thing since mid 2014 when mining ASICs became available. A $100 USB ASIC has 10X the performance of even a high end Radeon and consumes a tiny fraction of the power. I was able to build a triple crossfire 290 rig precisely because the guy I bought it from said it cost him more in power to mine than he made
>>55376592
Wanna explain the reasoning behind your statement? You're wrong, but I'm interested in how you got to that conclusion.
A power supply cannot affect how much current is drawn, and damage like that is caused by excessively high current.
>>55377506
Dude, that's the connector. There's nothing to resist. Only thing that would cause that is a short.
>>55377809
Are you retarded? Even a fucking piece of straight wire has resistance. Connectors are the part with most resistance on the path from PSU to power draw. High current draw, which can be caused by a short circuit somewhere on the motherboard by the way, will most likely burn out the part with most resistance on the path there since that's where most power is converted to heat.
>>55376009
Just because it was posted before it doesnt invalidate the truth, idiot.
>>55376912
>amd cards are shit on purpose.
Thanks for admitting
Oh shut up faggot
>>55375997
The connector shouldn't have burned out unless the connection was shit. Motherboard is to blame even if the GPU is pulling a lot of current
>>55375997
i-is that an ide connector?
