Title: Miner Issues - Please Help Post by: cryptopi on July 26, 2013, 06:43:56 PM I recently built a rig with:
To start it out, I decided to only use two of the GPUs just to make sure that it worked. After some fiddling (plugging in monitors, etc.) I got the two 7950s to hash away in cgminer at intensity 20 at roughly 630-640 mhash each. Then I decided that I wanted another GPU so I shut the rig down. I then used a 16x to 16x riser cable and plugged another 7950 into a 16x PCI slot on the motherbaord. Then I plugged in the necessary 2x8 pin connectors to give the card power and the molex connector into the PCI riser cable. Then when I turned on the compter on, it did not even recognize the card. After I restarted the card, it finally did recognize it but when I activated cgminer and tried to mine on it I only got roughly 50 mhash out of it or so. I have switched out riser cables and I have plenty of power so I know they are not the factors causing the error. I have also tried plugging in monitors to the cards and that did not work either. Does anyone know what could be going wrong/have any suggestions? I have tried everything I could think of and would be extremely grateful for any assistance. Is there anything I should change in the BIOS? Thank you Title: Re: Miner Issues - Please Help Post by: kuusj98 on July 27, 2013, 02:46:54 PM I recently built a rig with: Have a look and see if the card is stuck at low clocks (power saving)

Is there anything I should change in the BIOS? Thank you I already changed the clocks several times - overclocked it, set it to stock clocks, and underclocked it. None of those made it work. Thanks for the reply though Title: Re: Miner Issues - Please Help Post by: mccminer on August 02, 2013, 12:59:08 PM Disregard....I see now that it's Win8. Unfortunately all of my experience is on Linux, so I'm not sure I have much to contribute now. :-\ Title: Re: Miner Issues - Please Help Post by: Zanatos666 on August 02, 2013, 09:22:11 PM What miner are you using and what are your settings?
