i want to buy you card! 750 at i13 wtf!
will try later today!
[/quote]You mean 760… and not 1 card… 20! ;D ;)
edit: just seen 1 card drooped to 750 coz that’s the one that still has the monitor on.
If i bump to 1100mhz i actually get 770+ but it’s not that stable with 4 cards per board.

Lol thanks got 760 no problem with your setting.
Now i just have to figure out what to set the 7950 to.
Anyone having some great settings for this one? -

Oooo - Hardware reviews sub forum…Well, you know my fave kit but for the guys that dont…
[/quote]
Mouth watering over here… can you please give a little more spec for your rigs: OS, drivers, CGMiner version, etc? Prepping to build my next rig, and thinking I may have to give your old faithful a try.
Thanks!

[/quote]not that happy. the rig crashed after 5-10min (been stable for days before the new settings). had to remove em and now everything is stable again.
Do suspect the Enermax psu has gotten damaged though. soo im still really wanting to buy some 7970s -

[/quote]If you have stability issues you can simply drop the --gpu-engine down by 10 at a time.
I’m off to the shed to build my headless xubuntu miners. Just tried once and got a whopping 2khs out of the cards! :o
Attempt 2 coming up…

[/quote]Dont think that is the problem since the computer freezes completly, not the cards that get sick and suck.
regarding xubuntu:
if you run sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt what does it say? -
cant remember exactly but it was all as it should be. Picked up all the cards etc.
i started getting nonce errors and found that it was some dodgy bit of code in the latest cgminer.
What driver versions/cgminer/xubuntu are you using?
I tried the latest from the get go and failed miserably.

[/quote]I can’t believe I pulled that n00b trick on the question about CGMiner! I didn’t even pay attention to the screenshot beyond seeing the hash rates! Sorry for the stupid part of the question.

lol - no worries. I haven’t come back with a full spec yet as i’m just changing it all. The short versions though…
4xGigabyte GV-797OC-3GD
1xSeasonic x1250
1xGigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
and the rest doesn;t matter.Software:
win 7
cgminer 3.3.0
Catalyst 13.1Nothing magical honest. :)

Guys…you get me really thirsty! I just wish I had a 3 Mh/s rig like one of yours. How much did it cost overally? less than 3k$?
I feel lost now with my poor 5850, OCed barely to 400 kh/s. -

[/quote]my 2400khash (4x7950)rigs cost around 1800$ a pop
my ordered 3000khash (4x7970) ordered rig cost around 2400$.im not satisfied until i exceeds nutnuts hashing power ::)
for people that have money to invest, digital mining is truelly a goldmine.
especially ftc which i do believe will be much more worth in the future. -

I don’t know how you guys can afford to do it… I have eight 7950’s running now and the cards alone cost me $3000 Canadian. To say nothing of the mobos, processors, RAM, PSUs, and of course - the electricity. You guys must be independently wealthy already - you hardly need to invest in Feathercoin! ;)

i invested around 4800usd in the beginning
on used cards and such (23 cards og different model, mobo/cpu and so on)this was i february. after two months of smart mining it was all paid of.
i then sold all the used cards and bought 15x7950, with a reinvesting of around 2500-3000$
also did some changed to my main computer with 7970’sim earning around 30-40$ pr day counting todays value and substract power.
it will take me around 3-4 months to pay an ivestment down.
id call that a win/win and i do think that the value will rise.at the end of the day i have alot off kickass hw worth some for repurpose.
and ill make a buck or two:)hmm want to buy more as im speaking…
-
The $3000 figure for the cards was ‘all in’ (taxes, shipping, the works), I spent another another $1000-$1500 on other sundry hardware for the rigs - but I’m only mining Feathercoin (and now the partmner coins) and I don’t want to sell any of them - certainly not until they have appreciated in value a bit. Electricity around here is billed every two months, and I’ve only been in it around that long so aside from educated estimates I don’t know where I am yet for power costs. To top it, my server room is in my basement and there is only one small window just below ceiling height - depending on the weather outside the ambient temp in that room goes from around 26 degrees C to 33 degrees C. If I have to add cooling (IE: Air conditioning) to the mix that’ll be more expense.
Sigh…

Nutnut i have one of those gigabyte 7970 oc cards. Which settings are you using to get 760khash? Will try on mine and if im able to get that to work i will buy 3 more for an 7970 rig:P
[/quote]Ye olde faithful…
[code]–shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1080 --gpu-memclock 1500[/code]

[/quote]I’d like to know how you are handling your electricity to the shed and what your actual current total kW usage and how many amps total are being used.
[/quote]As would I, and probably others. It has been my curiosity since I started mining just how exactly people are getting so much power to run their operations. Knowing that I am pulling consistently 8.3ish amps to get 2.5 Kh/s on my little ol’ 4x7950 rig … I can’t imagine. Of course I am limited to 120 VAC (darn U.S. standard domestic wiring!). Most homes max at 180a total feed, with bigger homes usually at 200a.

[/quote]I have an extension lead running up the garden. ;)
When i say “Shed” it’s actually a log cabin (6m x 4m) and was intended to be games room but that never really happened.
In terms of power i have 10mm SWA running from a separate tail from the meter on a 40a breaker at the house which terminates in to another CU in the shed. Then i have a dedicated 32a breaker that feeds a 32a commando socket into the pdu. The house has a 100a/240v supply.
The rigs are pulling 5.9KW/25.9A according to my PDU. It runs @ approx 228v so there’s a bit of voltage drop but that’s to be expected over a 50m cable run.
I’m a card down at the minute so that will increase slightly.
