@Phil just running 2 60ti @57% PL, 40-60% fan and it is acceptable from noise in living room.
Are your 3080 also ok from noise, or are the much louder because of the more wattage vs the 60ti or are the bigger coolers compensat it?

Whats your choice favourite choice ryzen cpu price/hashrate/power? Any details of consumption on your variants?

my 3 evga 3080 pull 220 watts and are quiet they are midrange cards

my 3060ti aorus is a premium card I kind of feel guilty with it as a mining card. It is very quiet and it is physically bigger than the 3080 cards

If you could get either card at msrp you should.

as for the ryzens

3600
3700
3800
3900
3950
3960 thread ripper
3970 thread ripper is my preferred ryzen but it is not worth the money they ask for it.

my amazon invoice :

Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal: $1,899.99
Shipping & Handling: $0.00
Total before tax: $1,899.99
Estimated tax to be collected: $125.87
Gift Card Amount: -$800.00
Grand Total: $1,225.86

1899.99
125.87
2024.86

the 800 gift cards were discounted to 640

the remaining 1225.86 ws discount to 1164.57

so 640+1164.57 + 1804.57 cost for me

It is a stupid good cpu

I used this motherboard

https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/summary/edit.html/ref=dp_iou_view_this_order? it dropped from what I paid 383.84

so mobo + cpu was 2188.41

ram = 480 for 128gb super over kill
nvme ssd = 102
cooler = 100
psu = free I have a corsair titanium 1500 watt

so 682 and I think the psu was a refurb from. corsair back in 2017 for 250. so 932

932+1804.57 = 2736.57 for this psu not counting the amd 5500 xt which brings this build to 3000 or so.

It won't roi as It earns 4 a day, but it is truly an outstanding cpu which you would not be able to build at 2736 right now due to price rise in the cpu and in the gpu.

I could switch the amd 5500 with my evga 3080 and sell this for 4000 bucks.

for a practical build the ryzen 3900 is a good cpu
