I sure hope my PC doesn't die anytime soon, god damn

Yeah, the manufacturers are taking it in right now, but when ETH crashes there will be a huge RMA rush, meaning they’ll be stuck with thousands of broken cards and a flood of brand new cards on the secondhand market for cheap, meaning their sales will plummet. Good job MSI, you fell for the trap.

wow, I guess I'm glad I decided to build a computer in the late spring. I debated waiting a little longer, but I missed this whole Ethereum craze by just barely weeks. It's crazy to see how almost every component is going up in price because of this shit

Gee just as Im about to buy a new mobo. Thanks cryptofad number 27 for being even more annoying.

You mean working cards right? miners usually undervolt their cards to get better consumption and longevity.
