Title: Best time to stop mining (for a reboot) ? Post by: TomH on May 30, 2013, 10:53:50 AM Hi - I'm using Guiminer (with 2 miners), on Slush's pool, and I would like to know if there is a "best time" to stop mining (e.g. for a reboot) ?

I should really do it every 2 days max. I have 3x5850's with decent overclocks. Getting 400mh/s on one of them. Title: Re: Best time to stop mining (for a reboot) ? Post by: atomicchaos on May 30, 2013, 12:50:28 PM I have 17,000 k/hs on Scrypt, and will soon be up to 40,000 kh/s, and I think people are overestimating the impact of a reboot. We're talking less than an hour of time away from mining, and you do not even make an LTC in an hour (I know, you're worried about the block you'll miss).
Just do it as needed, it should not even be a factor. Title: Re: Best time to stop mining (for a reboot) ?

Hey join the 5850 club 400 on all of them. What are your settings? I have found 950/1175 works best :) |
