Merugi Beli GPU Bekas Mining | Ini Alasannya | OBROLANBISNIS.com — Maraknya razia tambang kripto membuat para penambang menjual kartu grafis yang sebelumnya dipakai untuk menambang aset kripto dengan harga miring.
Harga yang murah ini tentunya sangat menarik, terutama pada kondisi saat ini. Yaitu di mana harga kartu grafis baru masih sangat tinggi dibanding harga jual yang disarankan oleh pabrikan.
Namun menurut Palit, salah satu perusahaan pembuat kartu grafis, mereka tidak menyarankan konsumen untuk membeli kartu grafis yang sebelumnya dipakai untuk menambang karena akan mengalami penurunan performa yang cukup signifikan.
Dari hasil pengujian independen oleh Palit, seperti dilansir detikINET, Senin, 2 Agustus 2021, performa GPU yang sudah dipakai menambang selama setahun bakal menurun sebanyak 10%.
Pasalnya saat dipakai menambang, kartu grafis akan digenjot sampai 100% secara terus-menerus.
Terutama jika si penambang bisa memastikan kartu grafisnya mendapat pasokan udara yang mencukupi atau bahkan di-undervolt, penurunan performanya mungkin tak terlalu terasa.

Namun seringkali penambang tak memperhatikan hal tersebut. Mereka mengoperasikan mesinnya di tempat sempit dengan sirkulasi udara tak memadai dan suhu yang tinggi.
Hal ini bisa memicu oksidasi di bagian-bagian yang disolder juga menurunkan performa thermal pads dan paste yang menghantarkan panas dari chip ke heatsink.
Selain itu, kartu grafis yang dipakai menambang bisa saja sudah dimodifikasi. Seperti mengganti sistem pendingin untuk memaksimalkan hasil tambang, yang bakal menghilangkan garansi kartu grafis.
Palit tentu tak mendapat pemasukan dari konsumen yang membeli kartu grafis bekas, jadi wajar saja jika mereka menyarankan hal ini. Tapi alasan-alasan dari saran mereka terbilang masuk akal. ***
Loss Buying Used GPU Mining | This is the Reason | OBROLANBISNIS.com — The rise of crypto mining raids has made miners sell graphics cards that were previously used to mine crypto assets at low prices.
This low price is certainly very attractive, especially in current conditions.
That is where the price of a new graphics card is still very high compared to the selling price suggested by the manufacturer.
However, according to Palit, one of the graphic card manufacturers, they do not recommend consumers to buy graphics cards that were previously used for mining because it will experience a significant decrease in performance.
From the results of independent testing by Palit, as reported by detikINET, Monday, August 2, 2021, the performance of the GPU that has been used for mining for a year will decrease by 10%.
Because when used for mining, the graphics card will be boosted up to 100% continuously.
Especially if the miner can make sure the graphics card gets sufficient air supply or even undervolts, the performance drop may not be too pronounced.
But often miners do not pay attention to this. They operate their machines in tight spaces with inadequate air circulation and high temperatures.
This can trigger oxidation in the soldered parts as well as reduce the performance of thermal pads and pastes that conduct heat from the chip to the heatsink.
In addition, the graphics card used for mining may have been modified. Like changing the cooling system to maximize mining results, which will void the graphics card warranty.
Palit certainly doesn’t get income from consumers who buy used graphics cards, so it’s only natural that they suggest this. But the reasons for their suggestions are reasonable. ***
