Title: His Radeon 6950 Icq Turbo - need help Post by: bbxx on August 31, 2011, 08:12:53 PM Hi
I just bought His Radeon 6950 Icq Turbo 1GB http://www.hisdigital.com/UserFiles/product/H695QN2GD_004_1_400.jpg - it is very quiet and cold - i dig 342Mhash/s - mem 1250, gpu 840, no voltage tweak, 75 celsius degrees, fan speed 49% all the time (guiminer -v -w 128 -f 0) - i am very happy. It is not for mining only, i use it for gaming too. i have some questions. 1) why i get only 290Mhash/s in btcguild pool ? is it pool issue or it is normal ? (602 shares/2.9%stales) 2) is it worth to overclock more, change voltage ? fan at 49% is quiet. 3) if i overclock by 10% power consumption is more than 10% ? i think yes. 4) what application is best for overclock/fan speed, temps ? riva tuner or sh else ? 5) is it worth to underclock cpu when i leave/night ? i have c2d 6750 2660@3600 - it works like that by 20 months... 6) is it better to use linux miner or maybe just Oracle VitrualBox with linux ? thank you. my card: http://www.hisdigital.com/us/product2-609.shtml |
