Title: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed! Post by: #Darren on May 14, 2013, 03:34:04 PM Hi all,
I just set up my modest little mining unit. My setup is: Processor: amd fx 8-core processor 4.00 ghz 8.00gb ram 64bit Graphics Cards: gigabyte hd7970 x2 Motherboard - 990FXA-UD3 Power Supply: 750 watt ----------------------------------- I am running GUIMiner x2 and it is bringing in approx 560 Mhashes x2 (1120 Mhash) I am using slush's pool Expected hashrate is not set to anything Suggested Difficulty is set to 1 --------------------------------------- would appreciate any comments and advice :) Title: Re: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed!

Title: Re: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed! Post by: #Darren on May 14, 2013, 04:06:14 PM Should look exactly like that. :) Ah, I see.. I am using GUIminer (v2012-12-03) which seems to be a different program to GUIminer-script but I will dl it and give it a go - will report back with results. Thanks again :) Title: Re: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed!

Still, thanks to autodidactic, I am interested in litecoin and will give it a trial spin :) Title: Re: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed! Post by: #Darren on May 16, 2013, 07:22:27 AM Check the hardware comparison chart for some suggestions for Bitcoin mining. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison Thanks, I believe my cards are doing just fractionally lower than they are capable of. I have them now running at approx 575-580 M/hash x 2 Title: Re: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed!

I have them now running at approx 575-580 M/hash x 2 I'm running 5 of those same cards and they run stable at 660-675Mh/s for log periods of time. Yes, you're results are "fractionally" lower, but IMO you could have saved $$$ and bought different cards if you were willing to settle for those numbers.

- Dump GUIMiner and learn to love CGMiner directly - Install either Sapphire Trix or MSI Afterburner - Overclock your cards' GPUs to at least 1130MHz. Downclock memory to 600MHz to save energy and generate less heat Should yield you a stable ~685MHs hashing on a 7970. Title: Re: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed!

I'm getting these same numbers stable on my 7970 rig. Title: Re: Just set up my little bitcoin mining kit - advice welcomed!
