Title: 5970's driving me nuts... Post by: max in montreal on November 09, 2012, 11:08:57 PM OK, here is the setup...
2x1000 watt psu 1x750 watt psu 3x5970 5x5870 2x msi 890fx-gd70 main PC My main pc is running windows 7 and has a 5970 using cgminer to mine. It does not matter which of the 3 5970 is in there, they all run fine. No issues, all 3 cards work great. The 5870's are split up, 2 on one mb, 3 on the other. No issues, all run great. If I need to I can use 2 PSU on one machine. there is a 5970 on each of the motherboards, and at first it runs fine for a few days, but lately I need to reboot the machines every 30 minutes. If I swap cards with the main machine, the card works fine. I have a killowatt, and I see the psu is never drawing more than 800 watts from the wall. I am using the latest version of BAMT, and not using cgminer. Running off a usb. What the hell keeps changing that the cards stop running? Title: Re: 5970's driving me nuts...

Try a noOC in the ACTIVE folder. cd /live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE cp ../noOC . Title: Re: 5970's driving me nuts...

thanks. Title: Re: 5970's driving me nuts... Post by: abracadabra on November 10, 2012, 12:55:01 AM I do not understand, can you elaborate a bit more? thanks. You said you are using BAMT? 1 - Open an ssh session and add the noOC file to that folder. or 2 - stick the thumb drive in a windows machine go to J:\BAMT\CONTROL\ and copy the noOC file to: J:\BAMT\CONTROL\ACTIVE |
