I repurposed a few old computers, shockingly getting even 60khash out of some older cpus.

Main effort is my aging 5770 that runs at about 190Khash when I go to itensity 18.

Sheesh how are you getting 60kash out of old CPUs? :) what software are you using?
[/quote]
Depends on their definition of old. I have some ‘old’ computers lying around for me too. But they equate to like 667MHz Intel Coppermine, Athlon 2.7GHz, Intel Celeron, etc… Although I do have a nice amount of dual core and above rigs ‘spare’ xD
( The only gripe is that the cost to run them way exceeds the shares they’ll make and earn from :P )

Well if I wanted to mine with my CPU what would be the best software to use?

Read between the lines on how to mine with CPU!
[/quote]

Thanks will read through it when I get home :) I was mining with a CPU before but I got such a low hash and I’m sure that I could get a much better hash with my current CPU.

What parameters are you using for your 5770? I have 2 of them myself in my ‘normal’ pc and getting 120 ~ 140 max out of them.
[/quote]

New settings as of yesterday :-)

Core i7 860 @ 2,8 Ghz
16 GB RAM
64 bit Win 7 Ultimate

Cgminer 2.11.3

Fan 59%
Engine 875 Mhz
Memory : 1250 Mhz
Voltage : 1,200V
Intensity 16

Currently hashing at 225 Khash :) :) :)

Nice!

You only changed Intensity to 16? Nothing with thread-concurrency, worksize etc?

Armandoke

nope, all standard 2.1.1.3 settings

nothing changed except for the intensity

Maybe you have a version with less shaders than mine, I think you can verify this with CPU-Z

And that’s a possibility, but I wasn’t aware there are/were two different models/releases of the 5770. o-o

Well that was a certainly an interesting read, the more you know. :)
A little curious as to why 80 shaders are locked down initially, it’s not like the sold this cards at a cheaper price. Hmm.

SpyTec

Current setup
None are headless atm though.
Running cudaminer and cgminer atm.

Machine 1
[b]GTX 560 SE[/b] - 61 KHash/s @ 830 clock [i](get around 90 stable without anything else messing about (could probably get 110KHash/s headless))[/i]
[b]HD 5850[/b] - 206 KHash/s @ 725 clock [i](get 300KHash/s headless)[/i]

Machine 2
[b]HD 5750[/b] - 108 KHash/s @ 900 clock

Im only running 1x HD5850 @ 310 KH/s 8)
[/quote]

Same… I get about 380-390 if I set I18 but then I can’t use the machine. With cpu mining included I get about 410.

depressing when you see pics of people who’ve just bought things specifically for mining. oO

It is a little, especially when I think ‘why can’t I afford to do that’ xD
That aside, I’ve just used my gaming rigs, not brought any hardware specific for mining really. (If I was, I’d of brought 3 x 7950s instead of 2 x 7970s =w= )

I use minerd (pooler/cpuminer from github) on them under Ubuntu. Some old dual core cpus can even score strangely high, probably because they have a higher rate which these days get’s compensated with more cores (and lower clock speed). I run on an old toshiba Notebook, that’s at least 6 years old now with 26K hash even.

These are speeds I read on the accepted messages from minerd, so they are the real ones, not some odd ones some pool s sometimes report on.

4X 7950 running an average at 2.4Mhash in total, no overclocking done.

Good grief, that threat and setup of Detritus’ makes me flail and want to do it o-o;

I’m hardly a hardcore miner, but my 7850 is pushing along at ~302kh/s.
I’ve had it up significantly higher, but am pretty satisfied considering I’m only working at intensity 13.

It means I can do other things on my rig… like read this pretty forum :)

Thanks! will give it a shot this weekend or later tonight :)

Hi DeadZebra,

I’m getting about the same hashrate as you averaging about 610 per card.
I have 4 7950s on my board (3 cards in the pci16 slots and 1 in a pci1 slot) and for my next project I’m going to try to mount 6 7950’s to a board, I haven’t looked for a board that can take that or even if its worth doing because I heard you can fry your pci slots with too many cards, so my question to you personalty as you use the 7950, is would you limit your rig to 4 cards or try 6?

I’m not sure about 6 but I think 5 might be fine because I have heard of many rigs using a 5 card setup but none using 6x 7950. You are going to need to use PCI-E risers for a 5card setup though I think.

I have the 4X 7950 setup on risers which is great for cooling, but I guess its a 5 card setup for the next rig, it must be a motherboard limit. Cheers for that.
