Ahh, sorry I'm not familiar with Dr. Haribo's custom app (well I know about it just never tried it).

Don't worry that the bus only shows 4x width - that shouldn't affect hash rates since hashing is not bandwidth intensive.  You can mine 7970s a max speed on a 1x connector if you want to.


Are the clocks the same on all 3 cards?

Man all these small time newbie miners start coming out of the woodwork...  Grin




I thought you lost the lease for your place and were selling off your cards?  Or am I confusing you with somebody else?
2483  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 7970 With Windows 7 64 Bit Pro on: April 14, 2013, 04:20:02 AM
You don't need to crossfire your 7970s to mine (AMD uses crossfire, not SLI which is nVidia)

There is no "best" miner. If you like GUIMiner then use it.  Most people use CGMiner which requires a little bit of interface with command line.

Best driver depends on OS and what coin you are mining
2484  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Newbie GPU Miner Here on: April 14, 2013, 04:15:50 AM
Well is your miner reporting a lower hashrate?  Are you using CGMiner?  GUIMiner?  BAMT?
2485  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is Butterfly Labs a scam? on: April 14, 2013, 04:12:50 AM
Unconfirmed.  However, even from a legit business standpoint, their delays span over 7 months now, with no firm deadline in place.

hmm, so the BFL in people's sig is Butterfly Labs abbreviation.

Guess where I found the link: ads on THIS VERY FORUM! This forum should stop advertising for them.


Hehe, we have at least 5 threads on that topic too.  This forum is pretty large.
2486  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is Butterfly Labs a scam? on: April 14, 2013, 04:09:01 AM
You're either trolling or not bothering to read before posting.  There are more than 10k posts and 500+ threads on the topic.  Go ask there please.
2487  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 25 GH/s Bitcoin Miner on: April 14, 2013, 03:58:45 AM
If you had 2 grand to spend, would you buy one? Would it be worth it?

If it actually existed, it would be a great buy right now. But there is no such product actually available.

so this does not exist? https://products.butterflylabs.com/50-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html

At present nobody has one.  Lots of people ordered them (including myself).  We're all waiting.

Application Specific Integrated Circuit


These devices are made to hash, and only hash.  No playing Crysis 3 on them.

Very efficient for hashing compared to a GPU. Right now whoever has one is making tons of BTC or SHA256 based coins.  In a few when everybody has them CPU/GPU mining will be just memories.

At the moment, it likes the same as before BFL.

Uh, it still is before BFL.  Huh

No Pick and Place inside the house? Roll Eyes

Maybe its in the shed which is itself a subterranean base with hundreds of henchmen working tirelessly packing ASIC's for the world population a-la Dr.Evil style. But I doubt it Smiley

And who needs an oven when you have a secret volcano lair.

Forget what the pools says for hashrate - it's always an estimate based on how many shares you submit in a given time.  If you submit 0 shares in a minute it guesses your hash is 0, if you submit 5 shares it guesses 350MH/s.

What is important is what your miner is reporting your machine is doing.  If the miner shows #3 significantly lower then that's an issue (assuming they're all the same).

What no emails from some butthead taunting you about the mistake?

Good to see some talk of ethical behavior when most of the forum is filled with rage and scams.

If you have a cat (same as me with kids) then you probably need to have a closed case.  With a closed case you probably don't want to go dual cards unless you live in a cool area or are good with ventilating a case.  Pick a 7950 or 7970 as a single card.  A reference card is great for closed cases since they blow the hot air out the back.

Shut your piehole.

Anybody who puts money into this without doing a little research deserve to lose that money.  Consider it money well spent to learn not to fall for scams.  Some people on here, including myself, have been duped for thousands of $s.
2497  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: [LTC] Adding new 7950 to cgminer or GUIMiner-scrypt on: April 13, 2013, 11:41:06 PM
Try every slot, with both cards plugged in till the board reads the both cards at the same time. Other than that, maybe someone else with this board can chip in their thoughts.

Try another slot and see if it gets detected.  There's always the remote chance the second card is dead.  I ran into that 3 weeks ago - wasted 6 hours operating on the assumption that the PCIe GEN3 slots were acting up.  It wasn't until I gave up and tried the card in my rig at home that I find out that the card was DOA.
2498  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 7950 or 7970 for casual mining? on: April 13, 2013, 06:53:46 PM
By casual you mean you might actually, God forbid, play a game with the card?  Cheesy

7970 is you want to game since it has the most umph.

7950 if want the most bang/buck for mining.
2499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cheap Litecoin mining rig. on: April 13, 2013, 06:49:10 PM

4gb is enough for one card. You might want 8 if you load out with three cards.


why is everyone saying that you need at least 2GB+ for each GPU when mining LTC? My rig is using 1,45GB or ram with 2x7970 mining LTC

For High Thread Concurrences.

I have a LEPA 850 on one on my rigs mining for 2 years no problem. I think LEPA is a spinoff of Enermax, so it should be more than decent.
