yeah, im ordering one. (It wont let me) says its out of stock at costco, but you better believe im grabbing one, gonna leave that sucker in garage all winter long (nice and chilly) 60* lol
I have a msi ge76 3060 that I game on, but im gonna buy the 3070 ge76 just for mining, costco gives 4 year warranty, so I dont even care about running it into the ground.
Check out the walmart deal on the lenovo 5 pro with the 3070 for 1399. Capital One is offering 8% cash back and discover has 5% back. It is listed as 1529 but they are price adjusting it to 1399 to match the in store price after it ships.

if it can pay itself off in a year of just sitting idle in garage, whatever. after owning my 3060, I realize how darn nice it is. (costco has 4 year warranty) which to me, is worth its weight in gold, if it dies within 4 years of mining, it'll go back. or I will stop mining and use it to game.
how much wear tear does it do to laptop? 24/7 mining? the ge76 i7-11800h, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 3070 140 watt gpu. I'd put a little cooling fan under it too to run full-time or maybe not if not needed. like I said, winter time it'll be churning in garage in cold air. (but mainly because I dont want to hear it)

I just ordered a msi ge76 3070 for 2100.
I need to make a crypto wallet, then download program to mine, and that's it really? Is there a site to give me the basics.
Is trex the best one for this? Is 4.8kwh cheap? I guess it's 4.8 to 6.5 kwh for my area. Seems like cheap energy.
My garage is 440 square feet, 2 shared walls to house and 2 external. It stays 60 degrees all winter long and like 70-80 in summer. Stays cool due to all the insulation and everything.
Perfect for this. Toss her in, and let her run.

This one will tell you how to tweak t-rex:

If you plan on selling your coin, set up a coinbase account or similar to mine direclty to that wallet. This will lessen the fees.

Lol my 3060 laptop I want to use for gaming as I have 4tb of ssd' and 64gb ram in it. Really not sure if I wanna toss it into a mining rig.
But idk. Maybe have both running together. I mean a 3060 115-130 watt should pump some money out too yeah?
Can you toss another figure of profit at me?
I paid 2100 for msi ge76 3070
I paid 1400 for msi ge76 3060
Prices are after tax
If my 3060 can pay itself off in a few months, I may let it. I bet the laptop would still be perfectly fine after. Just not sure how much $$ it will churn out compared to the 3070.
If 1 year of mining would pay off both units, consider me sold.
Edit I read nvidia locks down the gpu for mining to 50% on desktops, does this affect laptops too?

It's November 1-5 when I get it. I bet 8 months I can churn some decent profit back towards the laptop.
I'm more inclined to do this w the Costco laptops due to 4 year warranties vs standard 1 year warranties anywhere else
I'm actually in my return period I could return my 3060… but I'm happy w it overall. I like the idea one perma mining rig that I don't care about til it pays itself down and use other laptop for games
I have 3k in laptops. One 3070 and one 3060 both msi ge76
Here are hash rates I found on Google. I don't know how hash rates turn into money. But I'm thinking letting my 3060 run too.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU:
- Stock ETH hashrate: 34 MH/s
- Optimized ETH hashrate: 38 MH/s
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU:
- Stock ETH hashrate: 45 MH/s
- Optimized ETH hashrate: 50 MH/s
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU:
- Stock ETH hashrate: 49 MH/s
- Optimized ETH hashrate: 56 MH/s

That being said I think that the main argument people have for a mining on a laptop is that they either have a spare one lying around or use it to mine while not using it. Buying a laptop to use 24/7 to mine and hope that it pays itself off after a year is silly imo when you could just buy a desktop setup with the same hash power for less and still churn out the same profits.
I bought the 3060 to game on, but I wanted the 3070 but there wasn't one and now there is but unfortunately the 3070 model is expensive. 1299 price of 3060 vs 1999 Costco 3070 for same model.
Steep increase. But if it can earn it's $$ in meantime, itl pay the difference. The cooling on msi ge76 is a monster system, and I'd pair with a little fan under it
I don't mind using it to mine if doesn't really damage it, Costco gives 2 year warranty. And my cc warranty racks another 2 years on it
So if it mines for 6 months, and mining goes away. It would prob of earned the 700 diff from my 3060 to 3070.
Part of me is thinking of returning the 3060 model now and letting the 3070 mine it's heart out for most part.
If I wanna game one night with my friends, there's no reason why I can't just turn off mining and turn it back on next day right?
