Title: New Rig - Up and Running . . . .
Post by: meb on June 19, 2011, 08:41:53 PM
Hi All,

Just got my new rig up and running:

MOBO - ASUS Rampage III Extreme
CORE - INTEL i7-950
RAM - 4 GB Corsair Vengeance
PSU - CoolMaster 1200W
GPU - (4) Diamond HD6970

Being new to Mining and to Over-Clocking - I am currently getting right at 1.4 Ghash/s (GuiMiner - v2011-06-14 - solo)  using flags ( -v -w 256)

Should I try to get better results by OC'ing or setting different flags -- or, does what I'm getting seem acceptable?

Thanks . . . . .

You could probably get more hashing with overclocking. Overclocking is pretty easy. Only challenge is the time involved in finding the ideal clock speeds.

Also, if you do end up overclocking, don't have the programs apply overclocking when the system starts up. This can cause a lot of headache and lost time.
