+This wiki collects what the cmpunlocker Discord has worked out about the [[CMP 170HX]]: how to unlock it, what to run on it, and how to keep it cool and fed. There are two versions of the card and they unlock differently, so start by finding out which one you have: run <code><nowiki>lspci -nn | grep -i 10de</nowiki></code>. '''10de:20c2''' is the 8 GB card, '''10de:2082''' the 10 GB card. Not sure? [[Which card do I have]].

+Every fact on this wiki links to the Discord message or repo it came from. A badge on each entry shows how far to trust it: Proven (reproduced by a second person), Reported (one person's result), Theory (untested idea), Contested (people disagree, both sides shown) or Warning (damaged hardware or lost data). See [[Status taxonomy]]. Words you do not know are in the [[Glossary]].
