Ok, I really thought I missed something. Perhaps improving my english. Thanks for your help! btw sniffing glue seems like a really good alternative for a gpu miner like me in these times  No problems. I've moved all my miners to LTC in the past few days - BTC takes far too long for me now.  |

I'm pretty happy with my XFX 1250W unit. Got excellent review at Jonnyguru, and it's basically a cheaper Seasonic (same guts, different case).
I've also got an older Zalman 1000W which is fine, too. I got it used off eBay, though it's a bit short of PCI-E connectors, so resorted to Molex adapters which I don't like using.

You mine for no coins until you have 55 posts...
Do I have to post here 55 times to get something at slush's page/pool? (I have been mining for weeks on slush's pool without having an account at bitcointalk with no issues. Got my shares submitted, my payouts, api data and good information on the webpage. So everything's fine - I thought) What's the deal with the 55 posts? Did I miss something on activating my account at slush's page? Any help appreciated. nottm28 is either taking the piss, or sniffing glue. There is no 55 post rule for anything. This forum has got nothing to do with mining for bitcoins on slush's. |

Shame the 7850 has pretty wank mining ability. I have one of these cards, it runs hot and mines poorly. I think it's a pure waste of money compared to the used 7950 Gigabyte cards I got off eBay.

about the lepa 1600W, but I am not a fan of multi rail. I absolutely hate load balancing.
all modern psu's are dual rail. No they aren't. |

Gigabyte is ok... but don't expect to mine with them in a case. These guys need aftermarket cooling on the backside or extender cables so they don't cook whatever happens to be near them.
I run a pair of them, and an Asus 7850 in a single case. 7950 are in top and middle slots, the 7850 is bottom. The top card does run about 10C hotter than the middle one, probably because it's drawing heat off the back of the middle card. The 7850's cooler sucks (single fan DirectCU II), and it runs hottest, despite having the best ventilation. And it gives crap performance. It's rubbish. |

Those are OK if you're playing an hour of Half-Life 2 or something. They saturate very quickly if you're doing heavy GPU stuff like mining.
I used to run a pair of Gigabyte passive cooled 7600GT - they were fine playing games, but run something like 3DMark in a loop, or Furmark or the likes and they soon overheated and shut down.

If you're using guiminer and stratum then its not actually sending shares to the pool because guiminer/poclbm is broken. This is why stratum is not suggested for guiminer.
Edit: looks like this was noted on the Eligius site under guiminer for a while now. welp, mystery solved I was using guiminer. They should really fix that eventually. Maybe more people asking to get it fixed on the pull request will get it some attention. Or just run a stratum proxy locally? It should be a simple workaround for anyone. |

P.S. Try disabling USB hotplug if you're not using USB devices --hotplug 0
I'll try that. Heh, what do you know? That worked. hotplug was set to '5' in the .config file (not set by me). Perhaps that should be set to 0 by default in future versions? Thanks for that. Seems my rant got through.  Sorry I had to do it.  |

Had the same problem, even with fresh install of Windows. Fresh install, installed 12.8 drivers, crash. Another fresh install, 13.4 drivers, crash. Another fresh install, 12.8 drivers, SDK, crash. Seems GPU mining is ignored now, developer is like a bitch in heat over USB mining bollocks. Gave up with not getting any answers on here, tried latest BFGMiner with 13.4 and it's working no problems. Thanks. Plenty of people apart from myself have pointed out the issue, and you can see in the thread it's totally ignored. Then someone asks about some jippy USB thing and there's an instant response. How about actually looking at the issue with GPU mining? The issue where cgminer just crashes instantly on run. Or crashes once it's compiled the .bin files. Or the issue where it just gives up mining and sits there farting about at 20kH/s for no reason. I've asked plenty of times. Tell us exactly what we need to install. What SDK version? What Catalyst version? Any other dependencies? What is cgminer expecting on Windows? As I said, I've got 3 identical in every way machines. I install Windows off the same USB stick, install the same updates off my WSUS server, install the same drivers off a network share, extract the same .zip of cgminer, copy in the same .config file, and 1 out of the 3 machines will actually mine. Then it's another crapshoot if I decide to change hardware. A machine running perfectly will suddenly stop working if I add another card, and even stripping off cgminer in total and reinstalling it will leave the machine unable to mine. Then it's a 50/50 chance it'll mine after a reinstall. There's too much of a crapshoot in getting cgminer working now. Old 2.11.x just worked. Now 3.x is impossible. |

I'm experiencing a very odd and blocking problem: was mining with CGMINER 3.1.0 on Radeon HD 5750, never had problem, with SHA256 nor Scrypt, all was fine. At some point I tried CGMINER 3.2.0 and it crashed at start (could only see one line "Started CGMINER 3.2.0" and then crashed). The odd thing is that from that point over even all other versions of CGMINER do the same!!! I cannot anymore use CGMINER! I've tried with 3.1.1 (that I'm succesfully using on another PC): crash. 3.1.0 that was working well before: crash. Today I tried even 3.2.1: crash. I did a Dr. Mingw debug for you, hoping to understand what the hell is happening. cgminer.exe caused an Access Violation at location 004312d2 in module cgminer.exe Reading from location 072ff1d3.

I hope that someone can lead me to the solution.... I'm now using bitminter java client, but I want a scrypt miner and I like so much CGMINER...! Thank you in advance to who will reply! Had the same problem, even with fresh install of Windows. Fresh install, installed 12.8 drivers, crash. Another fresh install, 13.4 drivers, crash. Another fresh install, 12.8 drivers, SDK, crash. Seems GPU mining is ignored now, developer is like a bitch in heat over USB mining bollocks. Gave up with not getting any answers on here, tried latest BFGMiner with 13.4 and it's working no problems. |

btw does anyone have an idea what effects cgminers cpu usage? On my WinXP/2003 32bit machines (catalyst 11.11) cgminer uses about 70-80% and on my 64bit Win7/2008R2 machines (catalyst 13.1) it's only about 3-4%.
i'm asking this because cpu usage does affect power consumption
I asked the same question in the cgminer thread. I got some BS about drivers and SDKs. Odd that two identical machines with identical drivers and the same cgminer config can vary between 75% and 2% CPU. On a third identical machine cgminer won't even run. All running 7x64, 12.8 drivers. I've pretty much given up on cgminer and am using BFGminer, it's consistent and works. And it works on the same machines cgminer just crashes on. |

What are people thoughts on Eligius and how long does it take to be logged into the pool statistics. I've been mining nonstop for about a week with 2x Radeon 4870 mining at 150 Mhash/s and have probably contributed slightly over 10000 shares and yet theres no mention of when I will be paid. Thoughts?
You're doing something wrong. Check you haven't put the {} around your Bitcoin address (username). |

I saved 250W at the wall by swapping a HD6970 with a HD7950, and swapping the AMD FX8320/990FX with a i5-3350P/C206. 200W of that was from the GPU swap alone.
The swap cost me nothing due to reselling the old equipment, and buying the new stuff used.

Er...you're doing something wrong. Took me less than an hour to appear on the stats at less than 500MH/s. On your user stats page it tell you when you'll get paid, based on your average mining rate. I'm betting you left the {} round your Bitcoin address when you set up your miner? |

Three-fan Gigabyte 7950 is doing 550M here at 62C (1219rpm). Got a second one to go in the machine. Very happy with them.
Mine run cooler doing BTC than LTC. LTC seems to heat the VRMs up more, which is dangerous on cards that have shitty VRM coolers.
