Ok. Final tally, for 4x1080TI @ 80%, 3 x 1080 @ 70%, 35 CPU cores >= 3GHz is . . . 1779 Watts Comfortably under my 1920W continuous limit although a bit dull numerologically main remaining concern is the fridge. rated 6.5A full-load, which would be (eep) 780W, insta-game over

Well, end of a fun era. I listed four of my GPUs on eBay and set another two up with some tweeps. If I hit the going eBay rate, even after they take their 10% cut I should be in the black on capital, so that's nice.

Have bids on 3 cards already, from a Russian. I panicked for a second at the thought of paying to ship across the Pacific, but fortunately eBay restricts to domestic addresses by default. Hmm. If I'd been more thoughtful + had higher n, could've run some experiments . . .

All right. Six cards sold, roughly for what I paid for them (or at a slight profit adjusting for the fact that I sold my old 1080 and kept one of the 1080Ti FTW). Still mining Monero with my E5 2687W-v4 chips, but I might cut back on that once it really warms up. Full circle!

Overall, I think I made about $1500 net of electricity. Purely as a function of the hours I burned on this project, this was an economic loss given my marginal value of time. But factor in the value of learning, experimentation, heating, and entertainment, and I made a killing.

Thanks for following along, everyone. I'll be sure to document the next slightly-unhinged project I start out on. (This wasn't my first--ask my pal
@Lexirad about living with me sophomore year--and it sure won't be the last.) xoxoShow this thread
