        paste your config? atm i have 3 + 1 7970 running in a rig. They are close together until those openrigs come in! [url=https://openrigs.com/]https://openrigs.com/[/url]

        i have one that sits at 80 degrees but its stable.

        Here is a pic of my 2 top rigs.

          newegg, amazon, tigerdirect… ebay is 7950s are going for 450 a piece… its getting silly. Help out with my other forum topic. If i find something i will post. I managed to grab 2 saphire 280x cards today but they instantly went sold out.

            we should buy all the 1000w and up power supply’s!! then we hold all the power. then trade em for ther cards lol :)

                Nutnut’s toptip for the day, run 13.04 instead of 12.04 for mining rigs. Then see if you hash 750+ ;)

                  Try toggling the iommu setting in your bios.

                    standard setting but 1055 on the GPU.

                    I think the gigabyte cards are a bit wobbly (struggling with stability) but then i am mixing 7970 & 280x on the same board. Maybe i’ll do a fresh build one day.

                    The Asus Matrix Platinums are my new fave card! 765Khs ~75c ~50% fan. :D

                      As someone who was able to snag three of these cards, I’m now running into the fact that Gigabyte doesn’t easily let me undervolt these cards. Plainly put, I’m overheating them quickly running either Linux (13.10 works great!) or Win7. I’ve been able to undervolt some MSI 7950’s and get great performance out of them, but this problem is vexing me…

                      How exactly are people getting 700+ speeds out of this card while not hitting 85+ temps on these?

                      EDIT: ASRock 970 Extreme4, 1000w PS, 4gig RAM, Sempron 145, Win7 64bit, tried either Catalyst 13.9 or 13.11 beta. Have tried guiminer or cgminer.

                        Solved to a very large degree. I followed the undervolting procedure as described in this article:

                        [url=http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/10/undervolting-in-linux-via-modified-bios/]http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/10/undervolting-in-linux-via-modified-bios/[/url]

                        Set all three cards to 1.075 (which actually yields 1.075, 1.100, and 1.100 for some reason) and now I’m seeing much more reasonable temps, better speeds, better stability.

                          What did you get out them when undervolting to 1.075V ?
                          What temps/fan speed ?

                            just my 2 cents:

                            maybe you want to set a clock-range, target-temp, overheat-temp and cutoff-temp? - espeacilly you run it unattended.

                              I haven’t been able to get the rig out to the garage (mid-40’s temps, more air flow) so I haven’t been able to really whip them yet.

                              And oddly enough, the exact same rom flash to all three cards yielded 1.075 on one card, 1.100 on the other two. Close enough, I’ll take it.

                              [b]Most importantly they’re stable[/b] running in the mid-500’s at low 70’s at something like 50-60% fan speed. Once I get a dedicated fan on these I’ll try to get them up to the high 600’s, low 700’s.

                                I am working on a guide but that will help for now. I am so pissed my new Gigabyte R9 280xs are voltage locked…I am going to have to flash each of the 2 bios to different voltages, one for power optimization and the other for max hash rate.

                                    Power leads / connections for the video cards. Most higher-end GPUs need aux power in addition to anything running over the PCI-e connection.

                                      This is good info to keep on hand. As for unlocking the voltage, I was a bit turned off by it and worried that I’d bork the ROMs on these cards until I followed that process ([url=http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/10/undervolting-in-linux-via-modified-bios/]http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/10/undervolting-in-linux-via-modified-bios/[/url]) and found out how easily it’s done. And very, very effective.

                                      Finally moved the rig out to the garage to take advantage of the sub-freezing temps outside and only now begun tweaking settings. Running at a thread concurrency of 8192 and intensity of 13 I’m getting 675 at 70deg C without even trying hard. Seeing your guide I think I need to bump TC to 21000whatever or something, see if that works.

                                      BUT I’M MUCH RECEIVING MANY DOGE AT THE MOMENT AND DON’T WANT TO TAKE THE DOWNTIME or whatever
