Title: Howdy ;D Post by: Crunchysocks on May 29, 2013, 03:53:47 PM Howdy y'all
Texan here, just saying hello! Been trying out mining for a month or so, figure I should get my account up and running so I can post some hardware questions. Finally got up to 2 gh/s woo! Can't get my 4th 5970 to connect though. >:( Title: Re: Howdy ;D Post by: nor9854 on May 29, 2013, 04:05:25 PM Hi, welcome to the forum.

Title: Re: Howdy ;D Post by: Crunchysocks on May 29, 2013, 04:15:40 PM hahahahaha
I think it's because people's first reaction is what would make a sock crunchy? I mean I KNOW what would make it crunchy...but SURELY that's not what he means... . . . . Yes Title: Re: Howdy ;D Post by: iram9062 on May 29, 2013, 04:57:13 PM Hi welcome.

I have a 7970 + 7990 (2x7970) and adding a 3rd card destabilizes the system. And that's with a 1200w PS.

Bucking the trend, I'm not in Texas, I'm in the South of England. Still, not that far from you.... Title: Re: Howdy ;D Post by: Nik1ab on May 30, 2013, 09:18:17 AM Hello from europe :D
Title: Re: Howdy ;D Post by: axefrog on May 30, 2013, 09:34:17 AM Hey there. Jealous of your mining power. Hoping my BFL ASIC miner gets delivered this century, then I'll have 50GHz :D

I am mining on four cards with a 1500W power supply, but mdbssm is right, check to make sure how much you need per card and try to double it.

Been mining for about 6 weeks myself. Going to scream and delete all my accounts / mining programs when I get the damn power bill though! Title: Re: Howdy ;D Post by: Crunchysocks on May 30, 2013, 01:24:02 PM Thanks for the welcome all!
Howdy ;D Good to meet another Texan on here, from whereabouts are you from? San Antonio, born and raised. Sure you power supply can handle that? I have a 7970 + 7990 (2x7970) and adding a 3rd card destabilizes the system. And that's with a 1200w PS. I am mining on four cards with a 1500W power supply, but mdbssm is right, check to make sure how much you need per card and try to double it. I have my machine plugged into a Kill-A-Watt to measure how much wattage I'm pulling. At full load with 3 cards I am in the 800's. I have a Seasonic 1200W gold+ certified PSU. If my PC was locking up or shutting down while all 4 cards were running I can see how maybe it'd be a power issue. But, my computer will not even post. It hardly pulls any power at all when i hit the power button and just sits there. Guessing my motherboard doesn't allow all 3 PCIe x1 and the x16 to be used all at the same time or something. I've tried all the PCIe connections in different combinations, can use any 3 and get the cards to work, but once i try 4 i get nada. Was hoping to post my problem in the hardware section on the forums but reaching 4 hours of active forum time is looking to be a challenge!

I have my 7970 on the mobo, and the 7990 externalized with a riser cable. The extra power connector on the riser cable overcomes the GPU card's tendency to draw power from the mobo apparently. System is certainly more stable this way. http://cablesaurus.com/PCIe-x1--%3E-x16-Adapter-Extender-Cable-w-Molex-Connector Title: Re: Howdy ;D Post by: rdsc on May 30, 2013, 07:10:08 PM Nice link, thanks
