Disregard

I don’t know if a 470 will work or not but I was able to resolve 2 580’s black screens by dumping rom and passing through with the card.

its a 10 dollar try it and find out! If it stopped after the fan, then heat would appear to be an issue.

I'll just stick them on the top and on the side (x marked in the pic below). they are operating within spec range, though towards the top end. Worst case I'm just making them more "Mad Max" themed in appearance. Best case I might get some longevity that I would have otherwise lost. If I have space in the switch I may add some to the sfp+ ports as well, as shown in the second picture denoted by a circle. too much? maybe, but also trying to keep myself busy and I don't see how it could hurt.

amazon has a few https://www.amazon.com/Heatsink-Cooling-Stepper-Regulators-Raspberry/dp/B07V9XDJNF/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=heat+sink+kit&qid=1585487921&s=electronics&sr=1-4 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082RWXFR2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the flat area on my 10gbe rj45 transceiver is 15mmx13mm on top and 15mmx12mm on the side so I looked for kits that wold have something to fit there.. Shortly after posting that update, I rethought about which kit I bought, cancelled the 7 dollar one and went for the 16 dollar 100 piece kit because.... well, "sheltering in place" is going to become "put heat sinks on everything to fight boredom."

Over a year later and I've posted an update in the top post with my experience.

updated original thoughts/observations after 11 months of use.

because poweline adapters are inconsistent and suck. you can't think of it as an even flowing pipe of data with them. its always uneven and can be influenced by interference occurring from outside your house. for now, I'd just go from Mac to switch to server and work on that. once you have acceptable speeds and are maxing out gigabit (assuming you're writing from an ssd in a Mac to ssd cache in the server and vice versa) then start adding back in other networking components. I'd normally suggest starting by going direct from Mac to server and cut everything out, but that implies you have an extra network port on the server and can setup static ip addresses in the same range on both devices. But thats a little more than basic so it's better to focus on ease of testing first.

this is your problem. even though power line adapters are "rated" or even show as 1gb, they rarely do it. I've put them on a clean line short electrical run (2 sockets on the same breaker in the same room) and never saw more than 20-30MBps. They should never be used as a critical route for connection, nor should be expected to deliver anything more than a crawl. please detail what your cache disk(s) are, and what else is running on the server. I use Macos and run 4-500MBps transfers to my server. If you're connecting ethernet cable-router-ethernet cable-server and still getting slow speeds, you may need to look at what smb version you're connecting to the server via. and also consider disabling SMB signing as described here:

have a great one!

yes

mine was set that way. I just left it alone for a bit and it eventually figured itself out. all good now!

this helps recognize the gpu. thanks. but now I'm seeing this error: 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Connecting to 65.254.110.245:8080 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Assigned to work server 155.247.166.220 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Requesting new work unit for slot 01: READY gpu:0:GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 LP] 1862 from 155.247.166.220 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Connecting to 155.247.166.220:8080 [91m16:03:24:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Exception: 10001: Server responded: HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE[0m 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Connecting to 65.254.110.245:8080 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Assigned to work server 155.247.166.220 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Requesting new work unit for slot 01: READY gpu:0:GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 LP] 1862 from 155.247.166.220 16:03:24:WU01:FS01:Connecting to 155.247.166.220:8080 [91m16:03:24:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Exception: 10001: Server responded: HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE[0m problem with F@H?

even with that, mine only uses cpu..... logs show 15:52:30: GPUs: 0 15:52:30: CUDA: Not detected: cuInit() returned 100

No. Don’t be a cheapskate.
