Believe it or not, I am a computer nerd. That’s right, the Chia coin suddenly appeared and then collapsed instantly in just two months, which directly flooded the second-hand market with slag. This part of the slag includes hard drives and i9 10850k CPUs. I seriously remind everyone that these things have flowed to the second-hand market. What is more noteworthy is that the pitfall in the complete machine market is the most serious.
Chia currency has now fallen by about 70%. It can also be seen here that the virtual currency is a futures fraud in the nature of electronic gambling. Mainly absorbing funds from other countries, which is consistent with the nature of illegal fund-raising in the financial market. And this thing once caused the hard disk to skyrocket in an instant, but now, this new currency has been cut off by traders again, leaving a large amount of slag behind.
In terms of hard drives, they are basically large-capacity mechanical disks and 500g~1T solid-state drives. Regardless of whether it is the second-hand market or the complete machine market, it is best not to touch it. If you have already bought one, the first thing you want to do is to get a picture bar toolbox to check the power-on time and usage of the hard drive to prevent accidents.
Another thing worth noting is the i9-class 10th generation Core, 10850k CPU, which is extremely cost-effective. Because its price is more than a thousand yuan different from the top-end desktop i9 10900k, but the number of cores is the same, and the difference in frequency is only 0.1GHz. The 10850k with a main frequency of 3.6GHz and a 5.2GHz turbo frequency has high cost performance, making it the best choice for Chia coin mining machines.
At present, this CPU is also experiencing leakage of slag in the second-hand market and the complete machine market, and some purchase channels for loose chips cannot escape the clutches. Don't think that the CPU is not easy to break, just buy it boldly. This kind of CPU is pushed by an old man on the mining machine, and the strength of the milk is squeezed. There must be a big gap between the system and the new CPU.
I would like to remind all friends who have installed this U. If you want to buy this U, please buy it through formal channels. If you buy it from second-hand channels or the complete machine market, it is best to ask the store to take pictures to see if there are any indentations, or check the CPU identification code. Persimmon here reminds everyone that if it is difficult to distinguish, just give up the channel. Good products may not necessarily be cheap, but at least they are genuine.
