i swear to god ill keep bumping this post till someone tells me what kind of RESISTORS to Buy its not that hard to put together clip the end, plug them in, ect ect What kind of Resistors should one use? 1 watt 100 resistors? i heard people say 75 ohm or something, what about 100 ohm? or 50 ohm? what the Hell is ohm? how do you know what to use? 1/2-watt resistors ? 1/4-watt resistors ?? 1/8-watt resistors  1-watt resistors ? Apparently you can't read or use google 75 ohm 1/8w or 1/4w are fine anything with in 10% of 75ohm will work |

New Version 1.01:
*Made it that only one instance of the program can be active
* add option for not idle args
* add a option to choose when to active the program idle/non idle/ idle & not idle/ never
* add option to run after X seconds since startup
Because there are so many option , I will be happy if someone can find a bug or something...
Very hard to test every thing...
Donation will be nice : 1GjpJnLU8zdfEHW7FoCx2UUosJgc9prXN4
wipe out processSWI wont even run |

Huston we have a problem
It doesnt appear to work at start up if nobody is logged in
also starting processswi if you have the hidden checked starts another instance of the program
and does not show that it is already active
No program start until a user is logged in..(I think) About processswi... I changed it so that only one instance of the program will be active... I'm trying to add the idle not idle option and then I'll put it all together soon One question , What do you mean about "does not show that it is already active " If you run SWIsetup it does not say that the process is active ? Or just that processswil does not know that there is a active instance ? I mean if you check run hidden there is no way to see if it's active Would be nice if it ran as a service then it really would start when the machine was powered up and not require some logon hope its not just for one person's logon if you run a multi logon so each member of the family has a logon |

Could some please tell me what an acceptable efficeincy figure is for this pool? I've just started and I am currently at about 65% and I fear this may be too low.
Is there a way to increase my efficeincy with GUI miner? I know it is recommended to use pheonix but I currently do not have the time or sufficient knowledge to setup this up. I know the information is out there to do it but my keyboard doesn't have a working forward slash key at the moment which makes command lines impossible. I could probably tie it to another key in some way but I dont know how. To find out just further adds to the time issue.
I will eventually move to pheonix as it seems to produce better figures but for now I need to make do with GUI miner.
They say 30% but they are pricks and do what they please They change their mind as frequently as I take a leak and now they take half of anyone that they deem by their determination to be pool hopping so much for FREE ... no fee FYI spent the $10 and get a keyboard |

Why would it be a problem if he wasn't doing anything illegal in the first place?
its not a problem in the long run, but the feds busting down your door at 2am can be some scary shit lol, more of an inconvenience. unknown to most that local police, DEA, and FEDs use IR drones to detect heat signatures and monitor houses power usage to detect grow houses, since lighting uses a lot of electricity to grow pot plants. you guys need to get a life stop believing in santa and the sifi fairy most drug bust's are ratted out info if it was ir from power usage every factory and most any business would be on the radar AND this has little to due with the subject at hand some one doing legitimate business ...In canada ..where the US dea HAS NO AUTHORITY enough already with this BS |

It wouldn't but we have the trolls that seem to have nothing better to do than scan what has been posted adding nothing but drivel just to see their name or say how great they are There should be a special twit thread just for the KIDS that need to do that |

pwnyboy can you at least read before sticking your foot in your mouth
Would be a nice trick for "The Fed's" to bag a CANADIAN
The OP mentioned "FEDS". I knew he was Canadian and rightfully assumed he was referring to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a federal police service. It is you who'se put his foot in his mouth. Good day sir. yep and you were loads of help to his problem get a life & stop trooling |

I do not have to worry about the "FED's" kicking in my door this has already been thought of and both the power company and the local Law Enforcement have been notified of the goings on and are welcome to come out and inspect provided they have a warrant for entry as we nixed there "Reasonable probable grounds" of entry by notifying them of what was transpiring so they can not unlawfully enter without warrant now
That's ridiculous. All you've done is put yourself on their radar. Please do report back to us how your project goes, and at what point the feds do show up. pwnyboy can you at least read before sticking your foot in your mouth Would be a nice trick for "The Fed's" to bag a CANADIAN |

cuting some 4x8 sheet of composite board with some u channel guides top & bottom
would make some cheep side panels-doors
six 20' box fans should give plenty of air flow even at low speed
cheep furnace filters in some u channel for filtering the fan intake side for dust
Don't forget buying a large fire insurance, from a company that has no swap trade with AIG. You'll start a fire in no time. How cheap is ASSHOLE insurance Just what that I stated is a fire hazard Troll Troll go away play your games another way |

Now why the hell would you make a statement like that ? you don't know me or what I am capable of or not .. or the budget in which im doing this so why would you even assume im in over my head ?
secondly did you not see by reading my posts that the power company is coming to run a new 200+ amp line to the place as currently the service is only 100 amp ? so with that combined with a electrical engineer and city permit's I do not have to worry about the "FED's" kicking in my door this has already been thought of and both the power company and the local Law Enforcement have been notified of the goings on and are welcome to come out and inspect provided they have a warrant for entry as we nixed there "Reasonable probable grounds" of entry by notifying them of what was transpiring so they can not unlawfully enter without warrant now
I don't have to know anything about you knowing you are spending $60,000 on a mining setup that may never pay for itself, given that for you to break even bitcoin is going to have to increase in value to $50 or $100, you should simply be buying bitcoins. Do you think people raided for drugs are using illegal power drops connected to the grid? They are not, having a legal drop means nothing, although contacting them is a great idea I wouldn't count getting raided out. Law enforcement is notorious for not communicating internally. drastically small estimate -- NOT -- 1W=3.414 btu
x48 machines -- NOT -- 48 gpu's not 48 machines
the 690w you misquote and use for your bad calculations Was a complete system with three 5870's
5870 draw 188w - 5850 draw almost 10% less 170w
48 gpu's 3 per system = 16 systems
even 16 x 2356 btu/hr = 37,632 btu/hr less than 1/3 of your 115,000 btu
The OP pic shows 48 machines with what I was assuming is 3 GPUs each. Maybe you should reread http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9621.msg139579#msg139579Gee if using 100 amps of power gets you a visit from the authorities they are visiting every small business & factory in the country Now back to REALITY |

lol you are so in over your head I hope you actually make it  each system is 690watts = 2400btu/hr (a drastically small estimate IMO) x48 machines = 115,000 btu so you will need 8 of these window air conditioners http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-LW1511ER-Window-Conditioner/dp/B004U4MLYUI would just cool with outside air, build a wall of box fans, remove the fan from the box and grills, make a custom wall with round holes to increase fan efficiency, air comes in one window, out another, prepare for the FEDs to show up a few weeks later due to energy usage and IR imaging... drastically small estimate -- NOT -- 1W=3.414 btu x48 machines -- NOT -- 48 gpu's not 48 machines the 690w you misquote and use for your bad calculations Was a complete system with three 5870's 5870 draw 188w - 5850 draw almost 10% less 170w 48 gpu's 3 per system = 16 systems even 16 x 2356 btu/hr = 37,632 btu/hr less than 1/3 of your 115,000 btu |

Open board is the way we would like to keep it cases are not a option we have found the making small intake fans with cowling to provide a steady air intake to the cards open air cools more efficiently then a case would and we like the open air concept both for space and the modular ease of replacing dead hardware I think that by increaseing the air movement in the given room we can keep a mean ambient average and keep hot spots minimal again AC is certainly a option but I think we can effectively cool at this point with a intake exhaust system I like the partition idea simply because we can keep better control of the temperature due to segmentation I shall talk with my partner tonight and will do some more 3d modeling while we wait for the extra hardware to arrive as there is a bunch more to include in the design aspect of things To the last person who posted please see original post in Edmonton Alberta Canada temp swings from +30 c in summer to -30c in winter so hard  so not super easy to design for 36 5850s clocked to 900 and 13 5870s at 950 at the present moment awaiting to run The current "rack" dimensions will support up to 3 rigs per shelf for a total of 72 machines I think the idea thou is to stay under 50 depending one the power our provider will give us because at I think it is 48 machines the calculated load average was 98 amps ? I think I'm going off my memory from my partner Sounds like a plan to me consider filters/cover the intake side.. you don't need any dust in the winter exhaust back into the room you need the heat in summer exhaust it outside |

starter:
dont put it that way. or you need something like 2x3400mm "fan" just ensure. for consistent airflow[let alone exhaust].
instead:
1. put/mount in in standard[19''] rack, close it and attach to air conditioner.
2 or use usual office/from-the-shelf midi-tower PC-cases and attack 120mm pvc/composite tubes for hot exhaust, backed by external fans. at each step.
I like the mid-tower case option. You can get pretty decent (for this purpose) cases for $35 each. It wouldn't add a huge amount to the overall cost but it would make arranging the units much easier and provide a mount for exhaust tubes. It's a shame the Supermicro GPU-centric server cases are to expensive and geared towards Tesla. I imagine some old Dell 6X50 cases could be turned into a nice GPU rackmount with a little effort. it all depends on how many - how much power will a dozen cased systems with dryer hose out the window do the job all year What works in New York is a bust is California We can hardly guess if the person that asked for help cant provide any details |

Just what were you trying to say your options may not be reasonable...cost effective It's not like I'm getting paid for designing a system |

Consider fans/forced air only work if the ambient air is cooler than what you want to cool
If its 100 degrees outside its most likely warmer inside and forcing 100+ degree air on gpu's ain't gonna cool much
also from past experience if its not an air tight enclosure its better to exhaust hot air than blow in cooler air
sealing makes the difference

is that 190W an actual measured consumption or the design max from a data sheet ??
Manufacturer is 188W, but that is about what they draw at 100% load as I have 3 of them. My rig (exc monitor) draws 690 Watts at the plug for 3 HD5870 (at 950/300). You'll be much more efficient with directed cooling, as you need to increase the air flow to the GPU fan, not just reduce the temperature. As an example, taking my case off and having a cold wind blow onto the rig, the GPUs reached 100 degrees (as they are close together). Putting the case on and adding 2 fans that blow the air directly onto the GPUs dropped the temperature to 76 degrees. You may not have this issue if you have lots of space, but it may help with cost effective cooling, by reducing the volume of air you need to cool. Just wondered .. was doing btu conversion you rig is about 2356 btu/hr of heat |

Get an AC unit that is rated for the heat removal at least equal to the heat produced by the setup. Or start with a smaller installation if you have not enough knowledge.
Does anybody have any sort of numbers on heat produced by, say 2x 5870? Any ballpark numbers on per-rig heat produced? For electrical devices, wattage to power the item is effectively the heat output, as there is no mechanical loss, so 190 Watts per 5870 approx. is that 190W an actual measured consumption or the design max from a data sheet ?? |

I added a pool (and looked at proper syntax) and now I have this: start /DC:\Bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe_20119428 poclbm.exe -d0 -odeepbit.net -p8332 --user=user --pass=pass Now it starts up, has a blank screen for about 10 seconds, and then crashes. I beleive it's -d 0 -o deepbit.net -p 8332 |
