Ah - sub-meters - used in many multi-occupancy locations to provide an interface between the incoming feed (which is billed to the site account holder) and to the individual user.

Going back a few posts - you state that you've spent $80 on the bits for the Samsung, however, only a few days before Christmas it was "about $99", and when I add up the figures that you've thrown around it is nearer $140. Maybe you've used $80 worth of all the parts you've used, maybe you've had a few refunds, or maybe you've just not added things up correctly. Whichever is true, there is another $120 to $350 (depending on where you manage to get the LED strips from) to hopefully get it into a working state. Then what are you going to do with your two 55inch TVs in you tiny home - surely one of them will have to go?

Vic, been watching this thread for many hours think it's time you took a chill pill and lie down, considering the price of a new tv today and with warranty that is attached, would be the better option
than spending on parts to get an old out dated model running that may die "totally" shortly after getting it working again, as most know electrical stuff and most stuff are designed to last
no more than 3- 5 years..
Do yourself a favour mate and save your pennies and buy a new tv that has a warranty..

But please get off your high horse and stop abusing people!..

And the check comes in the mail directly to Me, or to anyone in the same situation I'm in, like in a mobile home park. I've deposited many checks, one per year, no one has worried, it's a mobile home park, and I looked on the site for liheap, I can't even find a reference to a mobile home park, but then liheap does not deal directly with people, the money is a grant.

So is My SSI check, it's a grant.

As to the TV's that is not important right now, the $80 is accurate as I can make it, the psu board cost about $45, the cable $15, the testing of the psu board $20, so I don't know what the extra $19 was for, could be a typo on My part, since I don't keep records beyond 1 month, the bank goes longer, but I have no idea what they would mean, since it's a transaction amount with no real details beyond paypal maybe, the leds might cost $150-164, so far there is only one source, and if things work out like they have in the past, the leds can be in hand in February, instead of March.

I think I do need a new card, badly, why?

Boinc Errors -226 and -3, for a 2nd day in a row, checked for malware, reinstalled Boinc, reinstalled lunatic 0.45b6, reinstalled the 376.33 video driver, reset the pc, weird, it's crunching again...

I'm just trying to repair the old one, which can be used as a monitor, but then I already have a new tv.

And yes I need to go to bed, I'm sleepy.

There is a time when you have to weigh up the costs of fixing vs replacing is all people are trying to put across!

Anyhow Happy New Year to All..

On the video card thing 2 gtx1060 3gb would cost a bit less than a 1070ti and do more work.

---

Well if I wanted to sell it, it would be easier if it worked, otherwise the old tv would have to go in the trash, since to buy a tv from here, one would have to do local pickup, and that means driving a long ways, besides I did replace it, and so since I have the time, getting the parts won't hurt Me any, since I don't know how to to get at the leds, yet.

I think some worry over nothing, I'm competent in My affairs, otherwise I'd be homeless, and I'm not.

And a Happy New Year to you and everyone else too, 2017 is slip sliding away, hopefully 2018 will be better, not to mention quieter, and no I don't mean here either.

I didn't find any outside of the strix that I liked, oh sure there is the turbo, the vents aren't big enough, or the Nvidia 1060 FE on Amazon, which would work really good in My PC case, but is not something I want to buy on Amazon, not at $480 almost, I have $130 there, soon to be $135, so buying off Amazon is not possible. So the 1070 Ti is ok, and it has only one 8pin power connector jack. A 1060 like you are thinking would dump heat into My case, and interfere with My cpu water cooler, so I'll go with the EVGA 1070 Ti instead, since it has the best slot interface and costs the least.


Nvidia 1060 FE $480 almost, no thanks, Nvidia sells these for $299 each on the Nvidia website, but that $130 is captive to Amazon as far as I know.

EVGA 1070 Ti gaming $490 almost, better.

Vic, I run a system with a pair of Asus GTX1060 turbo, and another with a pair of Asus GTX1070ti turbo. Both run far cooler than I expected. Both dump the heat out of the case, unlike the Strix which dump the majority into the case. The blast of air from them is far more than I expected so I'm not sure where you get the impression that the rear vent is in anyway "too small".
I've gone for single fan, external exhaust for all my recent GPUs as they appear to run at the same temperature as the multi fan equivalents, but get the heat out of the case, and the fans last significantly longer.
But, as it has been said many times "yer pays yer money and makes yer choice".

True, I was pointing out the differing sizes of the holes for heat to be exhausted thru, Nvidia's seems to be the most restrictive, MSI seems to be in 2nd place in this regard, and EVGA is in 1st place, at least by looks, since EVGA has the biggest vent, buying a couple 1060 FE's or even one doesn't seem worth it to Me, due to cost, since the cost is almost the cost of a 1070 Ti.

Don't get too carried away with the size of the exhast ports as the crtical parts of these cooling systems are the fans and fins on the heat sinks which are very different to those used on earlier generations.
Core count should be read alongside memory bandwidth, bus width as they are just as important. Although, in general, those do vary with core count.

I think some here, who'll remain nameless, have the wrong idea of how electricity in a mobile home park is billed, it's integrated as part of the rent bill, as is the gas, water, trash, and sewage.

And that is not Fraud, nor paranoia either, I've seen people say the following, and neither is using the money to save energy, a new video card will do just that, but some will whine about spending money by people like Me, since they would rather I be in prison on trumped up theft charges, prisons are expensive to run, and private ones are profitable, especially if the inmates are leased out as chain gangs(slave labor).

My last electric bill in the space rent, was $44.72, My gas bill is $42.99, and that is for December 2017 usage, and that includes both the CARE rate and the Medical Baseline Allocation rate, I'd love to go into details on KWh price per hour, but Yes Energy Management doesn't publish that info, and Yes Energy does all billing here.

[quote]Look this far from civilization, the only place for the Samsung would be the trash bin...

Most of them are by now, but why do you keep wasting $'s on what was just crap to start with Vic (it's just like those poor performing power hungry GTX580's you bought, not mentioning the water cooling parts for them) and I'm over 2hrs away from any sort of place that others would call anywhere near real civilisation.

Cheers.

Well that will change asap Wiggo, but I have to wait for a check to come in from the Liheap program, and for February to get here, and the last post was about the TV, not a 1070 Ti.

So your going to spend Your Liheap money on parts that you have no clue that will work, And not its intended purpose for those funds?
Sure sounds like a case of fraud to me.
Of the many cases where familys need those funds, Your going to piss it away on a broken ass SAGA TV.
If I had a phone number to report you to the governing bodies, I would in a heart beat.

No I'm getting a 1070 Ti card, but then you are probably confused.

Fraud?

BS, do you even know what a sub meter is?

Of course not, typical jumping to conclusions, the park has an SCE account, I have an account with the park, but then you've never lived in a mobile home park, just in a stick built home.

The check is to be deposited to My bank account, as reimbursement for My electrical expenses, so how is that fraud?

Think hard on that.

Since it's reimbursement, it's not fraud, and is mine to use, it will make My PC more energy efficient, and that's a good thing.

It's a grant, so no fraud... https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/programs/liheap[/quote
Well I do live in a mobile home park. Its a double wide as a matter of fact. My home is 20 years old and paid for. I get sewer and water for free. (well that is factored in my lot rent )I have my own electric meter and for my propane.
Unlike your home I only have one outside light switch that dosent work and that will be fixed in the spring. And I dont need 50' extension cords to power other rooms. instaed of buying junk parts for the SAGA TV or buying GPU cards , Why not fix your electrical problems?
We have HEAP here in NY state to. its called Home energy assistance program. Its for poor folks who have a hard time paying winter energy uses.
Im sure there are crack heads and alcoholics who use the money for other uses. But then I havent seen any post on the SETI@ home boards bragging they are going to buy GPU cards or fix an old junk TV either.
Thanks for the number. But i wont call it. Id rather see you hoist your self on ypur own petard.

My Xrays came back, the Doctor wants Me to have another CT scan, He thinks I might have Emphysema, He also wants to check for Lung Cancer.

Note: I've never smoked, I have had a problem with 2nd hand smoke, most of My life in fact, up until 1998.

I hope I don't have either one, I don't want to go down My brothers path, I want to out live Him into My 80's.

It seems that I'm going to out-live Ol' Pookers by more than ten years, but then again don't believe everything you read on the internet! There were no questions on this calculator about family cancer history. My family members on both sides are quite cancer-prone.
