Can you do a submerged dielectric overclocking.

[@TekShinji]

Oh yeah that would be fun for sure! Question though, have you ever noticed that there's never a part 2 or part 3 to almost every submerged video?

[@Edwinphilipsam]

@@TekShinji why is that. Bixbit shows that submerged mining can increase hash rate upto 40% and it will increase the life of cards to a large extend . I don't have any hands-on experience in mining just KZbin and other articles. but I would like to make something submerged and forget about it aircooling needs frequent cleaning on a monthly basis.

[@TekShinji]

@@Edwinphilipsam so when it comes to submersion. There is a lot of factors that people just don't consider and it's one of the reasons why there's not very many after the first time videos on it. I highly recommend you look into mining to see how things work. Often the case, when it comes to gpus and mining they're already running close to what they can lowering the temperature doesn't actually give you that much benefit compared to the cost. Just like the rig I built in this video, there's a limit to practicality and what is reasonable. Lifespan nearly $18,000 on 1 g of hash when you can just buy an asic for $20,000 and get three gigahash? Come join our discord linked In the description and join the crypto stuff chat!

Buying gpus when the prices are high and it's profitable is the only way to lose your money. Nobody ever actually makes money during the bull run. Any minor that's only mining for profit will probably fail. You have to think long-term and mine during the bear market for the yield you'll get during the bull run. In other words, if you see the price of crypto low, that's the best time to mine. If you mind during the bull run, hard words expensive things are hard to get and you lose your shirt when everything inevitably crashes.

The 3090 is more efficient than the 3070. In fact, from Nvidia's RTX line up only the 3060 is more efficient. It's about on par with the 3090 except you would need double the cards to mine at the same rate... so double the real estate. So in my opinion they were right to go with the 3090.
