how does this benefit you? either you are loosing like $150 on every trade, or you get accounts fro much cheaper than the general public... seems a little sketchy to me personally... do you mind if i ask how you can afford to sell the accounts at such low prices?

hello,

i have a few questions about these cables... would i be able to plug the x1 PCIe -> x1 PCIe entender into a x16 port and still have the same OCing capability? or would that decrease my OC... also, you say that the extensions with the molex cable is for dual GPU cards and systems running more than 4 GPUs... without the molex cable on a 5 GPU system would the power be unstable? or what is the point if all the cards require additional power cables as well?

thank you in advance

if you do make a kit i would be interested Smiley would the extenders be included? also, what size PSU did u use to run that many 5870s? im sure i could run like 6 or 7 on mine, but im curious what kind of wattage you could get away with for 5  Smiley

remember... the risk for buyers is incredibly small compared to the risks for the seller... most services like Dwolla and Paypal have major protection policies for the buyers, but for sellers it tends to be minimal... when you are buying, if you dot get your BTC, then cancel the payment and its all good... if you are selling, there is not way to cancel the transfer of BTC if you dont get your money... i personally don't use Paypal because they dont like BTC and screwed me for 5 BTC when they were selling for $30+ ea... i would recommend using mtgox as they have one of the highest success rates and policies that protect the seller and buyer and it was specifically designed for trading BTC... the just transfer the money to Dwolla then your bank, or the BTC straight to your wallet from there... some other serices that you can use are trade hill and bitcoinmarket... however, neither of those two move even clost to the same amount of BTC that mtgox does... welcome to the world of BTC Smiley

I have been thinking about going case less for a wile... And I have the woodworking experience to make a simple tech bench... I think I will do that for now if I can't find some cheap one online... I don't particualy want to replace the thermal compound (though I know how) because I don't want to void the warranty if i don't have to... Also, would you guys recommend getting PCI-E extenders and  spacing out the cards and adding two more if I will be building a custome case anyways?

Bump... I have figured out why my mhash/s is lowering on my second and 3rd card... They down clock them selves when I turn them on... I can only asume this is because of heat... So what do you guys use to keep your temps down? I hit 100c plus with all three cards on, and the middle and top cards hits 95 when I only have two running (bottom and middle or top is the same result)... Any suggestions are welcome, but my comp is in my room so using 190CFM fans in the GPU duct in the HAF X is not an option (I have tried Tongue)

bump again... whats the best driver for mining with 5870s?
51  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bottle necking my cpu? or what else may be wrong? on: July 31, 2011, 05:51:30 PM
all i have running in the background is task manager... and with it closed or open, there is not difference in MHash/s
52  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bottle necking my cpu? or what else may be wrong? on: July 31, 2011, 05:17:39 PM
one more bump... and i am currently testing out 11.5.. it is running better than previous versions, but still only at 450-500MHash/s for 2 cards
53  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bottle necking my cpu? or what else may be wrong? on: July 31, 2011, 02:03:40 AM

11.7 has an even worse effect... on willnow run at around 270 wile the others run below 10 Shocked... what drivers are you guys using?
56  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bottle necking my cpu? or what else may be wrong? on: July 31, 2011, 12:20:04 AM
i just realized that i am on 11.6... i am about to try 11.7 and hope for the best... plz let me know what drivers you guys had the most success with
57  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bottle necking my cpu? or what else may be wrong? on: July 31, 2011, 12:10:59 AM
ok... kwl... im trying that now
58  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bottle necking my cpu? or what else may be wrong? on: July 30, 2011, 11:39:13 PM
i have 11.7 and im running windows XP... im planning on going linux as soon as i can make this a dedicated machine... how would i go about downgrading to 11.6... is there a simpler way than fully un installing and re installing the drivers?
59  Other / Beginners & Help / bottle necking my cpu? or what else may be wrong? on: July 30, 2011, 08:39:49 PM
hey guys,

i have recently upgraded to 3x 5870 in my mining rig, how ever, when i run all three, one will run at around 270MHash/s, and the other two will be below 100 MHash/s... when i run just one it runs at right around 300, but even with a 150MHz OC it wont go above 320... i was wondering if i am possibly bottle necking my CPU as it is prity old, or if something else may be going wrong

my system specs are:

CPU: pentium d 840 (3.2GHz)
Mobo: 780i ultra
RAM: 4x1GB bargain brand PC2-4200
CPU cooler: h70
case: HAF X (full fans)
GPU: 3x gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD
PSU: 1600W ultra X4

any thoughts are welcomed

thank you in advance
