Powered USB 3.0 risers
Converts x1 to x16
Technically, I can add another. Just need m.2 to to x1 card in there


TIL. I had no idea there is enough bandwidth. But thinking about it, I guess it just submits job and waits for output from cards so probably not that much is required.

So it uses something like https://www.amazon.de//dp/B071KWM9FV/ ?

Why not just buy bitcoins and flip them when they rise.


Higher risk.
Mining = an asset I'll still have at the end of the day, and allow me to diversify what I mine. As long as 1 ETH doesn't drop to $120, it's profitable

with EVGA precision x
60% power
+425 memory - memory is much more important than clock speed when mining - need to lower your power draw and this accomplishes that.

Bitcoin was 3800 dollars on the 22nd of August. Now it's sitting around 4375 dollars. You're telling me there's no money and it's too risky but as soon as it bears down it bulls back up.

Not really. I'm thinking profit. You have to mine for a year to break even and that's if the value doesn't drop. Hard pass on that. You could play the market a few times and make way more money.
