Title: First Rig Need Help -- 2x 5830, Running Linuxcoin Post by: Crypt_Current on August 13, 2011, 09:10:17 PM So I finally have enough working hardware put together to start mining. It's 2x 5830s with an Athlon x2 and 2GB RAM. No HDD / optical as of yet.
I have found the linuxcoin howto and have downloaded the necessary files and I still have to find a flash drive big enough to put those on. My concern now is -- Where do I go for the proper drivers for the 5830s under linuxcoin? And also, where do I go for the actual mining software to run under linuxcoin?

Well if that's the case... that's a whole bunch of awesome. My brother is giving me a 16GB flash drive soon, hopefully it's bootable and I can get this rock rolling...

Running it with the 2GB persistence file is nice.
Also, another thing (called atitweak) that was written by a forum member here (mjmvisser) is useful for overclocking via linux command line. It's basically a wrapping for the AMD Overdrive functionality, and offers extended functionality (downclocking graphics memory, etc) to the aticonfig command line utility.

Thanks for all the help everyone! I check these forums daily ... I am probably going to be able to tinker with the mining rig sometime this weekend and hopefully get it mining. Dang overtime at work getting in the way :-/ if only they'd pay me in btc |
