Title: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ? Post by: noogai93 on August 03, 2011, 10:58:16 AM I'm new to mining and I'm wondering what the best settings for a 5830 are.
I'm currently testing one 5830 @ clocks 975/300 with phoenix miner with phatk kernel with 3% mod with the following arguments VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 Running windows 7 x64, 11.6 drivers, 2.1 sdk, i can only get an average of 270/280 Mhash/sec. What are the best settings and options that will maximize my performance ? Title: Re: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ?

Title: Re: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ? Post by: mike678 on August 03, 2011, 02:07:13 PM move clocks to 1030/350 your card might not be able to handle this if thats the case lower the card to 1025 then to 1020 ect until stable.
next aggression=12 and use this phatk mod https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7964.0 I might have done a few other changes but this is all I remember at the moment. If you do this you should get speeds of around 333. Title: Re: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ?

340.6 Mh/s Title: Re: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ?

Any clue how many more watts that requires?340.6 Mh/s Title: Re: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ?

Any clue how many more watts that requires?340.6 Mh/s Not sure but I know it's less than the 2 6970's I got in another rig mining 24/7. I don't worry about electricity as long as I make enough in bitcoin to cover the overhead. My electric bill for my entire house with central air running when I'm home, 2 PC's and a TV is around $250 a mo and I make roughly $350+ (well at least before the recent price drop think I may hold onto my coins till they get back up above 13) so wasn't a big concern. I may move my 6970 rig to my friends garage who has free electricity but I didn't want to share my profits but if the price stays low under 10 It may be better. Title: Re: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ? Post by: noogai93 on August 03, 2011, 10:17:20 PM are those core speeds you guys have, are they the upper limit to the 5830 ?
also great help so far, thank you Title: Re: Howto Setup a 5830 rig ?

Every card is different but I would think 1000 to 1040 is achievable with a bump in core voltage and I have been running mine at the upper limit on core voltage since I got this card about 2 weeks ago.

Yea I agree with him its the upper limit but I can get between 1030-1040 before it becomes unstable on stock voltage I got really good 5830's though. I'm kind of curious how high I could push it if I up the voltage but I haven't really tried because I don't plan to use non stock voltages for long term. |
