Downsizing because of SCE terrible tier syetem so it was either the rig or the ac and i like my ac.
Delivery or pickup around Los Angele's region. Will ship for extra cost. Any suggestion or comments are gladly accepted please don't be rude

Tiering residential pricing is a pain.  I don't want to ruin everyone else's fun, but I was able to find industrial space (basically, a warehouse carved into a bunch of artisan/startup/shipping spaces) for rent at about $500/month very close to my home in the SF Bay Area.  That gets me 8¢/kwh non-tiered pricing, which is better than my lowest tier and 5x better than PG&E residential.  I don't know if this is an option for you but it definitely helped the profitability model and got a lot of noise and waste heat out of the house.

Good luck!
Thanks thats not a bad price but i don't think i want to fully commit like that your a brave soul, for me walking away is prob the better option. Plus i love tinkering which is why i wanted/want my rigs close by lol.

Would you be willing to sell some of the video cards separate?
Yes if everything clears with SpareBitCoin then ill have 2 5870's (XFX and HIS) 1 5850(Sapphire) and a 5830(XFX). I also have a water cooled 5970 that is quite a trouble maker.

I think it has to do with drivers... One of the cards you are using is a dual core card right? So Windows is seeing 4 GPUs. I have had afterburner work fine with 3 GPU but the second you add the 4th in, you get the 'failed to init...."

I have asked around (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=21352.0). Even put a 2BTC bounty on who could fix afterburner to work with 4 GPU and nobody was able to point me in the right direction. There were a lot of suggestions, but none proved to fix the problem.

OK, so I have a workaround "solution" if you still have not found a way to OC your setup.  Let me know and I can post details.
I would like to know the workaround

My afterburner is working on Windows 7 with 4 cards and i had the same problem after installing drivers. Now everything works fine.

What i suggesto you both to do is:

* Uninstall ATI drivers from the control panel.

* Uninstall MSI Afterburner and any APP Profile you have

* Reboot in safe mode, use Driver Sweeper top remove all traces of ATI drivers.

* Reboot and Install Catalyst 11.7 (seems like no dummy plugs are required anymore). Homepage, Direct Link

* Reboot,  Install AFterburner 2.2.0 Beta 4

You are done.

Thanks for your suggestion.  I've tried this, but afterburner still gives me the same error message...

Yup i have tried too, I get the same message when i run 5 physical cards 6 total cores. But 4 physical 5 total cores worked fine

Guys can you help :O

On that guide, when I go to the Synaptic viewer, only the first two fglrx's have green boxes in front of them. dev and moda are not installed. I try uninstalling the first two, and running the 11.6. After it finishes, i can't sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all, i just gives me errors. Rebooting locks up my computer at the Ubuntu loading screen Sad

That happened the first time when I tried this. I was using Inaba's guide before, so I had SDK 2.4 already. I tried a fresh install, but the same things happened. I can't get 11.6 to work.

How did you guys install 11.6?
\
Have you tried booting into recovery mode in the grub menu, then booting into Ubuntu with on of the graphics options then installing 11.6 and rebooting

now if we could just figure out how to adjust voltage outside bios limit we would be golden.
34  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Overclock/underclock Radeon 5970/5870 Linux outside BIOS Limits? on: June 24, 2011, 08:49:17 AM
Catalyst 11.6 in Linux allows you to bypass the BIOS limits now. 11.5 didn't.

Code:
Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    975           300
             Current Peak :    975           300
  Configurable Peak Range : [600-875]     [900-1200]
                 GPU load :    99%

I've tested it on both Sapphire and Gigabyte 5830 cards.

Cheers,
Kermee
Yess thank you

Slush-
So do wallet changes automatically need email conformation or how do we set that up? I thought you said you already added this feature.

thats a great price wish you were around about 2 weeks ago when i spent $820 on a 5970 damm. Best of luck if you dont get a offer in btc somebody will most certainly snatch that up on craigslist

The "backup" checkbox doesn't ungrey the input fields, nor does clicking the pause mining when gpu reaches.... checkbox
P.S Im not sure if i'm huge on the tabs i actually grew to like the one big field. Perhaps update both?

Amd overdrive doesnt underclock low enough for memory or high enough for clock speeds?
aticonfig --od-enable, AmdOverdriveCtrl underclocks mem straight under 300, not unlock bios is needed for that

Quote
what bios allows you do underclock memory to 300?
each an every one with the right tools, the problem is overclocking, RBE is used to fix that

Quote
Or are you saying that this easy to use software requires me to first flash the card which voids the warranty?
I'm talking about RBE and atiflash. RBE is windows only, atiflash is DOS.
In case you'd like to overclock the core over the vendor limits, and have only linux at your hand you take VBox and your favourite Win VM, download a bios off techpower up, you use RBE on it to unlock overclock limits, you get yourself a SystemRescueCD, FreeDOS is on it and you flash your cards with atiflash. Wouldn't be any different if you had only Windows at your disposal. And this is only in case you'd like to overclock above the limits.

Quote
Im not even sure how to use overdrive for 5 or 6 cards.
You didn't read the board, didn't get your facts straight. AMDOverdriveCtrl as well as aticonfig accept card index as a parameter.

The rest of you posting if just some random blah which resulted in you not reading up. There are step by step howtos for Ubuntu, and quite few of them, right here, on this forum.

And what facts was i wrong about?
Go figure now.
Well i didn't know that amdoverddrivectrl could index card so thanks for that, but other than that your pretty snotty for no reason.

I write the noob gui program GUIMiner Smiley

To those saying Linux users don't want GUIs, you're wrong. While the stereotypical Linux user is too much of a macho power user to use a GUI, the average technically challenged user definitely does and I get requests for it all the time.

But here's why I don't have Linux support as my first priority: packaging.

I can throw four miner backends and the GUI frontend into a little self-extracting EXE and have confidence that anyone can get my program going just by double-clicking the EXE.

On Linux... people have to figure out how to get the drivers working (which is confusing, which one do you pick) and then the hassle is just beginning because people have to figure out how install dependencies like PyOpenCL and wxPython and compile the backends, etc etc.

In fact GUIMiner works pretty well on Linux but I don't advertise it because I don't want to have to troubleshoot people's problems where their PyOpenCL install is linked against the wrong proprietary driver or some such nonsense.

I'm hoping there will be a nice solution to this in the future like bundling it pre-installed with LinuxCoin or something but until then, Windows has superior usability.

If you really want to see robust Linux support for the miner, put up a bounty and we'll talk Smiley Otherwise there's not much motivation for me to boot my Linux partition when I have a perfectly good Windows install right here.
Hey Kiv I use your software regularly on windows and it works great so if im correct ill just start up a new thread pledge, and ask people to pledge btc for linux guiminer support?

amd overdrive is a pretty lackluster overclocking program pales in comparasion to msi afterburner can ony overclock/underclock as well as manufacture intends. If all miners are on linux why isnt there more programs for miner made to work on linux?
AMDOverdriveCtrl+aticonfig is perfectly fine for a tuned/unlocked BIOS. You can adjust your fans, clockspeed, memspeed and the voltages.
And you can do it over ssh, no displays, no dummyplugs required. Stripped down Debian runs perfectly fine from a 4GB thumb drive, no HDD that draws power is required.
"GUI Mining" is absolutely pointless, and the gui is only an interface for a CLI miner.
So get your facts straight, go study the guides, read the board and don't be a douche.
What the hell??? did i personally offend you?? Amd overdrive doesnt underclock low enough for memory or high enough for clock speeds? what bios allows you do underclock memory to 300? Or are you saying that this easy to use software requires me to first flash the card which voids the warranty? And what facts was i wrong about? Im not even sure how to use overdrive for 5 or 6 cards. Which is another reason why i like gui over cli i don't have to enter command line and enter all my information 6 times for all the different setting of the cards. You don't have to comment if you don't want to i was just locking for friendly miner's to point me in the correct direction or to ask them what make ubuntu harder to program for. I am by no means an good at linux i got it going after 3 days of trying but i thought windows was far easier because of the noob gui programs. geez
