it's up fast today  and I literally just sold some thousands like 30 minutes before it shot up as I was tired of holding them..ze name of ze game..shit Memecoin QT taking forever to sync? ?
have you updated to the newest qt? http://memecoin.org/memecoin/memecoin-update |

Was about to order those risers and thankfully stumbled upon this thread..pheww Is there anyplace in Los Angeles that you can walk in and buy risers? frys,etc? or is that a online only type of purchase?

anyone else have trouble with their GLDcoin syncing? With macs do you need to put that GLDcoin.conf still in place or is it already handled?
Thanks!
I believe my GLDcoin wallet is up to date for the hard fork that happened on June 3, but you may need to put something in a conf file--that is really a question of what's going on in the network. You may also have to wait until the next block is mined before a sync starts. If you do want to create a conf file, it should go in "~/Library/Application Support/GLDcoin". Thanks! It was all synced up until yesterday and now just constantly spinning. Anychance you can give me example of your .conf file? |

1.3.8 adds cgminer 3.2.2 which I'm told allows you to use USB devices for mining without installing usb serial drivers
1.3.9 will polish the current feature set and assuming it's a bug-free release become the new stable version, 1.4
Awesome! Will give the newest one a try today on my 10.7..your on a roll my friend! p.s. thanks for fixing the save config...ahhhh! i can relax now  |

any idea why my Gldcoin-qt for mac stopped syncing today? It says syncing and the wheels in motion but atlas nothing be happening  As far as I know there is no official mac client. You should check it out with the guy who developed yours. On the windows side we're still okay . Thanks for the heads up will do just that! |

Been dealing with very similar thing and curious if anyone has any guidance to push me just a bit further :
After several BIOS flashes and fresh installs of many catalyst versions I am currently running stable at 700/khs on a 925/1275 speeds with TC of 8192 on 13.6 beta 2 catalyst and cgminer 3.2.2. I flashed from a OC to TO BIOS to get a default of 1100/1500 instead of the 1000/1375 it came with. It allowed me to shoot into the high 750plus kh/s speeds but would constantly crash and go to black screen 5 minutes later when using 1042/1500 and was about to hit 90temp before I shut it of.. Found the 925/1275 on a forum and that brings me to a stable 700 kh/s with a 82-85 temp still being in the case with no risers(side panel off).
Does anyone have any configs for cgminer to get above 705 kh/s using a GPU engine speed of less then a 1000? Making progress one kh/s at a time. If I could get 30-50 more Id be such a happy camper...thanks guys!

Quoting my previous post lol... Check out the first image. You really need to get them out of the case and into the open air. Particularly if the room they are in is not temperature controlled, i.e aircon and ambient temp in room is a little on the warm side... Just get yourself an el-cheapo shelf (mine in the image cost me 15 bux! from a bunnings/home depo type hardware store), some x1 or x16 risers and suspend those puppies above the board. The fan you see in the image is from a decommissioned Xigmatex CPU cooler. It feels like my 50w floor fan/box fan it pumps that much air but not nearly drawing as much power. I used to use the floor fan/box fan to cool these babies down when they were in my case, which was a Sharkoon T9 Value case on it's side with the side off and temps were what you're reporting atm (80ish-90C). The rack they're sitting on is just from an old fridge we have in the garage that does not work anymore, so I salvaged one of the racks from it and use that along with a couple of pieces of dowel to rest them on. I tried to avoid all this shit to keep temps down but I had to bite the bullet and get enough air flow through them, especially since I wanted a constant 750+kh/s without the risk of cooking the cards. It paid off in the end. The biggest hurdle was attaining the risers... I had them on order already but couldn't wait for stock to arrive so I managed to get some sent locally aswell and was back up and running in a couple of days. Then that is exactly what I am going to do especially with wanting to add a second 7970 into the mix here sometime very soon. How come you don't just keep everything else in the tower and just pull the GPU's out on risers like the following mockup with of course throwing a fan somewhere in the mix :  Also what would be the difference between getting x16 or x1 risers btw? sorry pretty noobish when it comes to this part but am a fast learner!! Feeling pretty stoked though on my constant 700 right now but still want that 730-750 to really put a smile on my face =D thanks for dealing with all my questions..really a big help and hopefully to others reading with 7970 issues. |

Well with F62 if you set the engine at 1000 and memory at 1475, the voltage will drop to 1.2V - so will run significantly cooler and then the khs should be 700ish.
looks like i am running on a voltage locked card which has made things a bit tricky. Does anyone have success of flashing a Saphire BIOS onto a Gigabyte r797OC-3gd? Actually flashed it to the r9770TC-3gd the other night for that 1100/1500 default clock. Although everytime I go above a 1020/1040 gpu engine I go into a black screen crash so maybe I should flash back to the original 1000/1375 stock and go from there. At the moment I can run steady on a 925/1275 with TC8192 at 700 kh/s at 83 temp but would love to push it to 730-750 if possible Or does anyone have any lower speed ratios that work for a 7970 preferable with a 8-900 GPU engine? you guys are awesome! thank you |

Out of curiosity what is everyone's default GPUengine/Memclock for their 7970 especially those running with a 1000+/1500 speeds?
The BIOS i flashed to has a 1000/1375 so I am now curious If I should of flashed to the BIOS with a 1100/1500 as anything past a 940 engine seems to crash with a black screen. Currently though I am running stable at 640 kh/s with 82/83 temp using 910/1000 and tc8192 which seems to be the best I can currently achieve. Going for that 700plus goal!
With the F62 bios already on my cards, my GPU/Memclocks are 1100/1500 and that's what I mine with. Any more or less on either GPU or Memclock and my hashrate drops significantly, like ~100kh/s drop! Currently they're both hovering a little over 770kh/s and temps are 70C/62C respectively as I type this. Rock solid for days now no issues with screen freeze or anything. Open rig was the key for me to keep the temps down.. well that and risers to get more air flowing around them both. Very pleased with the outcome considering the top card (when they were in a pc case on it's side and case open) was hitting above 100C easily while the bottom card was climbing slowly above 90C. These temps were unacceptable and I did not mine untill I had them in their current setup. Even when they hit 80C on a hot day (it's rather chilly outside atm so room is a few deg above that) I still cringe and worry about them while I'm at work. But I remote monitor their progress and so far so good... fingers crossed Thanks Joori! Right now I am running at a 700 stable but with a 83-85 temp on 925/1275 speeds with TC 8192. For somereason anything above a 1000 on the engine speeds seems to cause a black screen crash so working on that problem but at least right now I am stable at 700k. Truly wont be happy until that 730k is stable though..lol. Right now it runs for about 5 mins on a 1100/1500 speeds of TC 8192 getting 750kplus but then crashes for some reason reaching a temp of 85/86 still in comp case with side panel off. Next step will be to get some risers and pull them out of the case. Would love to see a pic of your unit if you ever get a moment. Seems to be though right now any GPU engine speed below 1000 seems to be my best friend without crashing. Anyone have any other Cgminer configs working with a GPUengine of 1000 or less and getting 700plus khs? Btw is 85 too high of a temp to run on? thanks guys! |

BTW OC is the same as TO - rev 2.1 board, just different bios. You can force flash your OC to TO using atiflash -f command.
bam! thanks man just flashed to that new F62 BIOS( http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/131592/gigabyte-hd7970-3072-121214.html) which was a TO not really knowing the difference I took a chance seeing the default speeds much higher than a OC bios. I tried 1100/1500 which shot to 760plus!!! then crashed to black Do you crash at 1100? For the night I put it back to 910/1375 and running stable at 640 with a 79temp now instead of 83 before at 1000/1375 OC bios. Going to mess with it more tomorrow so thank you for the confirmation that I am on the right track with going to TO. More trials to come..thanks again! |

I think I am ready to flash my bios but need a little help as this will be my first time doing a flash but am confident with a little guidance on the right BIOS I can make it happen. I bought a used Gigabyte HD 7970 3072MB GDDRS the other day on craigslist and have tried everything to get past 550 Kh/s via scrypt mining. When mining BTC i get around 650 Mh/s but havent played to much with that area as I am trying to get the scrypt mining down. At this point It seems I have tried almost everyones configurations on the forums and even started from ground up with the README file and still nothing above 550 Kh/s. That is also using -g 1 as when i use -g 2 it stays under 390 kh/s? I am thinking at this point my BIOS may be too old on the card as these are my current stats on my windows 7 rig: Display device : AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series on Tahiti GPU Display driver : 9.14.10.0969, Catalyst 13.4 BIOS : 015.022.000.004 GPU: Gigabyte HD 7970 3072MB GDDRS - GV-R797OC-3GD Looking at http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?manufacturer=Gigabyte&model=HD+7970 there seems to be much newer BIOS versions although I am not sure which BIOS to flash with since i have a OC model and I have read that is not the best for scrypt mining hence needing to try a TO?? My current config for cgminer is : setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer --scrypt -w 256 -g 1 --thread-concurrency 8192 --intensity 13 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 100 -o http://mining.usa.la.hypernova.pw:9332 -u worker.1 -p xxxxx As I mentioned I tried -g 2 as suggested from everyone and every time it drops dramatically down to 380 Kh/s from 540 when using -g 1. When following the ReadME file for Cgminer my ThreadConcurrency speed came out to be 22400 but have read to use 8192 and see no difference in speed between the two. So at this point I am thinking a flash of the bios will be the way to go although I am still up for hearing anyones suggestions Thanks for the help in advance! this is driving me crazy..rawwr whati is you original bios if it come with F80, you wont' be able to falsh it with 7950 f43 bios, and it won't get higher than 700 650kh/s maybe if it come with f72 bios you can flash it with 7950 f43 bios an it can run 730khs @ 1040 1250 Not sure what F# the original Bios was but it was this : BIOS 015.022.000.004 Which do you recommend me going to in the end? and do you possibly have a link so I can flash that now before going forward? I found this link but do not see a F43 : http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4102#biosI see a F3, F72, F41_A and f2. There is also this link with more Gigabyet cards. I do have the r79703GD model http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?manufacturer=Gigabyte&model=HD+7970Basically it looks like i kind of have two options in Bios picking..a 1100/1500 or 1000/1375...any ideas on which would be the best to continue my testing? Thanks!! it is 7950 bios to check f# use gigabyte utility so for a 7970 then a F43 bios is a no go? right now i am running stable at 640 kh/s with a 925/1000 but running temp at around 83/84 so higher then i would like. Anything above a 940 engine seems to go black screen. Going to do some more testing tonight and keep the good fight coming..at least i am out of the 500's now..yes! |

My GV-R797OC-3GD rev 2.1 gets about 720Kh/s with the following cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://xxxx:xxx -u xxxx -p xxxx --intensity 13 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1042 --gpu-memclock 1500 Catalyst 13.3 BIOS 015.025.000.007.000000 GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT unset Hope that helps What SDK version are you running btw? and are you on 13.3 beta 3? Installing that now with SDk pkg installed and everything in it but thinking I should reinstall and uncheck SDK and then install 2.7? I'm running driver's included sdk. I just checked 13.6b2 and they seem to be a little better than 13.3 (doing around 730Kh/s @1042/1500). My preferred clock ratios are 1042/1500 ~730Kh/s 995/1250 ~690Kh/s Thanks for the update! Seems to be when I use the default clock 1375 i cannot go past 940 on engine speed as I seem to go black then crash after a few minutes after..running stable right now a new config I am trying with tc 8192 and 925/1000 and getting 650 khs. Wont be happy till i am stable at 700+ so will keep trying. Maybe your 995/1250 will bump me up a bit. Will be in touch and thanks again! |

just started joining in to mine FTC but would love the option to also mine LTC when the profitably is higher. Is there a way to set up your miner to swicth back and forth between just the two instead of setting it to mine all the coins with the highest profit in port 7777? Thanks for offering a great MultiPool!
That's pretty much what happens, other than switching to MNC when the difficulty drops. We haven't spent any appreciable time on WDC or DGC for about a week now. I could look into adding a "conservative" multiport that only switches between the "established" altcoins, if people want that. Great thanks for looking into that! Just something I was thinking about but in the end love what you have going on..thanks! |

never buy gigabyte cards
Gigalock The voltage lock shouldn't be an issue mine are locked and I still got them hashing over 700Kh/s. Infact, they're doing 770Kh/s each atm and sitting between 65-75C. It was a pain in the arse to get them to play nice but persistence is the key to virtue - also an open rig setup for proper cooling and the right command line helped massively. See below for imagery! Sexy Image of RigMiner Monitor StatsBIG UPDATE!!!! Installed 13.3 and it did nothing actually made the hash rate spike all over the place in a 2-40 kh/s range. I uninstalled then installed 13.6 beta 2 drivers. I chose this config to start and it jumped to 750 and hit even 780!!! : --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 -w 256 -I 13
a few minutes later screen went black and computer crashed :/ Brought engine down to 1045 and memclock to 1450 and am running at 730 kh/s at about 81temp at the moment. Just started it though a few minutes ago. Atlas 13.6 and the updated BIOS did some magic trick and can now play with the rest to see what doesnt crash the GPU. Thanks guys!!!! Awesome stuff mate, stoked you got there in the end haha you see, no need to have 346423874623 options on CGMiner startup. A simple clean command line and the help of a BIOS flash coupled with latest drivers (bleeding edge too!) got you there in the end. Beta drivers ftw!! Just curiously what was the temp before the screen went black? It probably shut down cause it overheated I'm thinking. They really do run rather hot and require decent cooling to keep them stable and free from burning out. Those pesky VRM's have piss poor cooling on their own and I had to move the entire setup out from an open case onto a rack with adequate spacing just to keep the temps down :\ Really happy you got things going in the end  At the moment running at around 83-85 the screen seems to go black and computer freezes so its not going to crazy to shut it off right? Had to run out for a bit and let it go with a 1050/1500 on 22400 TC and came back to a crashed computer so that is where I am at now. During some testing yesterday I was able to get it to 730kh/s but that was with -I 20 and it ran past 87temp so I shut it down and scratched that config. I think right now I am going to start back from square one with the readme on these drivers and see what I get. So close I can taste it! edit*update*: Went through the readme again and didn't have much luck as everything kept blacking out or freezing. I came up with a TC of 22400 again then messed memclock and started crashing GPU at 1650 so brought it down to 1625 and started engine speed of 925(around .56) as suggested which started with a 480 kh/s. Slowly worked my way up then around 970 with a 530 kh/s speed it crashed again. At the moment anything I seem to try brings the computer to a black then freeze. I even tried going from 1375 clock and 1000 engine which were defaults for MSI afterburner and yet crash again. So now I can get the speed but always going to black screen? Would that be 13.6 beta 2 drivers bugging out or is that something with my clock and engine ratio? confused yet again but looking up! |
