alt Hacker NewsI bought a RTX 3070 off a miner when Eth went to proof of stake.
It was clean, cheap, and is still going strong for daily gaming.
In its working life it was undervolted and probably cooled better than in my rig.

I got an entire Prebuilt PC when POW ended from a miner. AMD 5950x, 64gb ram, 3090, 2tb SSD, all for $1700. This was 4 years ago when the 3090 was $1500 by itself, and with minor upgrades it's still going strong today.
It's wild to think that the system now is worth at least as much as I paid for it then if not much more than that. I saw a similar one going for $2500.
