Title: [SOLD] BTC/LTC MINING RIG 2.1Ghash/2.2Mhash with 3x5970's, 880 Watts
Post by: 420 on October 05, 2012, 06:05:42 PM
Used for < 3 months

Buy right now at 100BTC, otherwise make your offer

Better temps & more shares:  http://youtu.be/SFv1G5O6Of0 (http://youtu.be/SFv1G5O6Of0)

3x5970's total consumption 880 watts producing 2.1Ghash/s (overclockable to 2.2G/hash or more)
[yes one is setting on top, helps the heat dissipation instead of being stuck in between the other two)

This is also a GREAT litecoin miner, should be able to get 2.2Mhash/s utilizing the fastest card for litecoin mining, only other would be the new 7990 at $1,000
you'd just want to get more RAM to litecoin mine

1200W PSU 80 PLUS GOLD rated

fairly new Asus P8BWS C206 board with 4x 16x PCie2 slots and (1) 1x slot so potentially 5 cards can be run on this board but haven't tested that

60GB OCZ SSD with windows 7 (no serial)

DVD Burner

I'll throw in any 16x PCIe extenders or 1x->16x PCIe adapters that you like

my electricity is around $0.10/kWh, if yours is really high I'd consider selling and hosting it to mine for you

You guys are asses. Jalapeno can only bitcoin mine, -nothing- else, and they aren't even available to the public yet. GPU's, motherboards, cpus, etc, have MUCH BROADER use.

Quit with the retard lowballs and make some realistic offers instead of clogging this thread with your "jokes".

The OP's GPU hardware is 2 generations back already and the 7xxx series is more than half way through its product cycle now.  With the advent of ASIC they will be scooping 5xxx cards on to China bound scrap ships with front end loaders by the metric ton.

Nice PSU though.  But you know what?  I only need one gaming rig.

Yes, the hardware is a few years old, but that doesn't diminish it's value. These 5970s are still going for decent money on ebay, and that PSU is worth more than some of these offers.

Buying these for mining would be a bad idea, imo, but these are still worth $800 regardless.

Litecoin mining is fixing to go into full affect. You watch those 5xxx cards start catching premiums over the next few months. Not just on ebay, but here as well. Just sayin'

And you watch while the difficulty skyrockets, while the price remains the same.

Used for < 3 months
How many is heart months? ;)

How well does something that doesn't exist mine I wonder?  While I definitely agree that the jury is still out on new technology, a bird in the hand is still making you more money than two with an unexpected delivery date that *might* not exist at all.

This is a good looking build, that said, I could not afford the package deal.  What are you selling individual cards for?

looking at least $250 USD equivalent right now to consider the offer (i take silver/btc or usd, just would need the funds first)

but i'm waiting on a pending offer for the whole rig which I like more

EDIT: Currently two offers on the rig kind of close to my asking price, but not 100BTC

I've seen a lot of people mining LTC. I'm not a huge fan of them, but I have a serious question: why? All of my research show that mining LTC is less profitable than mining BTC, both due to higher power usage (higher RAM speeds), and not being worth as much.

I calculated this rig would make either .6BTC/day or .9BTC/day if you mined litecoins and convered to btc at current exchange rate on btc-e.com

Hey crazyates I think a lot of people are mining litecoions and then holding.  I am probably going to do this myself.  I read somewhere? Recently that litecoions are more profitable but not cant fine where that was.

The worth is speculative.  The price is going totally fucking bazonkers lately as people try and buy it all up before the difficulty gets high, as GPU miners are starting to lose faith in BTC as we enter the dawn of ASIC mining and there will be for sure 3 different ASIC miners from different companies by the end of the year.

Post by: 420 on October 10, 2012, 04:46:45 AM
It's hard for ME to say for sure because none of the actually 4 companies now claiming to be working on ASIC's have shown a model prototype or example of it actually hashing (not even pointed us to a pool with a username or a test net one day showing hashpower)

SO all this uncertainty, more reason to cash out of my rig now while I'm still up on my investment (not by much) after mining only for 3 months (I sure got to the game late :) )

Speculative huh?  I had no idea. :). Regardless, if it looks like a buck, sounds like a buck, and *sells* for a buck, it is for all practical purposes (for now) a buck.
