unlocking shaders in a 6950 is ok, only running a 6970 bios isn't

Can you define 'harsh environment'? Temperature, humidity?
12h is not much, even some of my rigs used to crash after ~15h if they weren't stable (I know bitforce != mining rig, but I would still leave it for at least 2 or 3 days)

So... shakaru you're owing over $18 000.. does that mean that you were scammed for amounts totaling $18k minus that 3-5GH/s of hardware he mentioned few posts back?

Yes, but it is only a matter of time before the problem returns and you have to do it again, next time it won't that long.
It can work for a few weeks or a few months.

That's why I'm asking ;]

Ok, logged in...... and the same thing as 3 weeks ago

can't add any workers
can't add slush, get '756: unexpected token at ' or 40x errors, where 'x' there's 0, 2 or 4
can't mine solo

PM sent.

I got an invite 3 weeks ago, logged in but didnt use gpumax because it was buggy at that time, so I wanted to check it out again today.
Forgot the password I tried to reset it I get this:



I also tried to follow the activation link again and set up a password for the 2nd time but it doesn't work (the link works but the screen only refreshes when I click 'continue')

Or, how long should I wait to get some email with pwd reset?

I know there are issues with usb boot on gigabyte boards, especially newer ones so I'd like to ask: has anyone tried with MA790X-UD3P? I have a 965P-S3 which runs fine but can buy the MA790X-UD3P quite cheap. I want to be sure I''ll be able to run bamt on it.

I wonder if this helps in case it doesn't?

or are there specific BIOS version that will work?

I also wondered if anyone tried alternative boot managers? Plop or sth like that?

I know, just wanted to post my BTC address for imsaguy and for everyone so we can see who got paid, and state that I don't want to gamble on volatility of USD/BTC exchange ratio and want exaclty $200.

I have a problem with namecoingui it keeps connecting and can't connect ever since I wanted to run it when I was low on memory but now I have enough and still the same.
namecoin rescan doesn't work, namecoind freezes, reinstalling namecoind will work?

Just find some cable or wire, below 10cm will be enough, take of the rubber isolation at the ends and put both ends into A1 and B17 (look at the picture which ones are those), make sure you don't insert them anywhere else. You might want to unplug everything that gets in your way unless you are very skinny.

I'm okay with imsaguy

I'd just like to ask him to look up mtgox exchange rates few minutes before sending payments and adjust them accordingly.

I have bought a 2GH/s 6 month contract from shakaru in August, got back most of the money in October (I only asked for the amount I paid him, not the expected output of the contract) but there is $200 still left. So if BTC falls to $3 I'd like to get 66.66666666 BTC, if it increases to $10 I'd like to get 20 BTC, so only the exact amount. It is also because I did not pay him in BTC but with with USD by PayPal.
If the price increased to $10, shakaru would owe over twice as much money and it would take even longer to repay. Of course if it decreased it would be quicker but we would all get less money (cpt. obvious).
As I was one of the first to send him the money for a contract that was not delivered and the amount left is now little, I asking to be (one of) the first to get paid.

Got it, thanks! Never thought I'd win 

ATM I ran all my 5830s, 5850s and 5870s @ stock voltage but I have to undervolt one card, a HD 6770 because it's placed in a very uncomfortable place with almost no air to inhaust

Miner: guiminer (phoenix with modified phatk for 2.6 sdk)
OC software: barelyclocked
Card: HD 6770
Core: 775 (stock)
Memory: 180 (stock was 1000)
Voltage: 0.8V (stock was 1.125V)
MH/s: 170
Wattage:

Asus P5Q-E, both PCIe x1 slots require shorting A1 with B17 pins (unless you hot plug the GPU but then it doesn't always work for some reason)
extenders I use are not powered and are 19cm if this information is of any use for you

WHAT WORKS
1)
Motherboard Brand: Asus
Motherboard Model & PCIe Slots: P5Q-E, 3x PCIe x16 and 2x PCIe x1
Power Supply Brand & Model: Corsair TX850v2
Number & Model GPUs: max. 5GPUs tested so far: 3x HD 5850 1GB @ 945/280/1.088 + 1x HD 5830 800/200/0.9V + 1x HD 6770 @ 825/180/0.82V
Extender Cables w/Molex Power?: 5850s and 5830 on extenders and HD 6770 in PCIe x16 slot
none of the extenders are powered

PCIe x1 slots require shorting pins (A1-B17).

Max. 4 GPUs under 12.1, 5 GPUs (all pcie slots are used) under previous driver versions.


2)

WHAT WORKS
Motherboard Brand: Gigabyte
Motherboard Model & PCIe Slots: GA-965-S3, 1x PCIe x16 and 3x PCIe x1
Power Supply Brand & Model: Tagan TG1000-U33II 1000W
Number & Model GPUs: 3x HD 5870 between 910 and 1000/210 + 1x HD 5850 900/300 all stock voltage
Extender Cables w/Molex Power?: 5870 on normal unpowered extenders, 5850 in slot

NOTE: the x16 slot stopped working (no device in that slot gets recognized) after a few weeks and now only PCIe x1 slots work

You can still try:

ati tray tools
barelyclocked

same tools as previously but on different drivers
I was unable to change voltage on my 5850s until I updated my drivers

where did you buy 6890s?

Its not the motherboard. I know that for sure. The oven method I have not tried. I am not experienced with that. I've read about people doing it for different things. It creates a "re-flow" of something so that the electrical condition is better. I'll google it but please tell me more about this and what it might fix

Edit: I did google it. I am considering this. Bake it at 385 for 8  minutes maybe longer. I didn't see a consensus online but 8-10 minutes seemed to be it. I might just try this.
