IM sure you have nothing to worry about.  Sure, man, I'm all like that. So, what's the prob with XP? You experienced these problems personally or this is just a rumors of some idiots, who even can't use it properly? I use XP since 2002, and didn't had any fucking crazy hackers, which stole all my passwords. And system has rock solid stability, can't say the same about shitty Linux and Win7. |

Yeah, but I don't update it over a year and don't care. Just have a monster router with monster firewall.
Just don't expect that to save your butt should you ever navigate to an exploit-ridden webpage...  Headshot! Can't latest Firefox + Google search + KIS2012 (they should name it kiss my ass) + Spyware Terminator 2012 + my epic router and firewall solve this prob? Dis shit is unbeatable. Seriously, do the updates twice a year then. That will cut out a whole myriad of malware using old vulnerabilities.
The bad news is, old (patched) vulnerability exploits are ridiculously cheap if not freely accessible to any malware author. I don't give a fuck really. I really hope you're not using that unpatched XP machine for anything other than gaming. If you do, god help you.
I do, I'm mining with it and all my confidential stuff there - job docs, web money, all my passwords in txt files, for years... and bitcoins now... Amen. lol Fuck you hackers! If they will hack my machine at least once I will be impressed and even give them some bitcoins. But so far,  ...and don't keep a broken Bitcent in the wallet there. Broken bitcent? |

Thanks, I'll try it asap. But 2.4-2.6 SDK's should overwrite 2.1 version, no? 2.1 install opencl.dll in windows directory, but other dll's aren't installed (they hang in program files (x86)).

... I bet XP can last that long without problems.
Unless it REALLY needs that reboot following an update  Just fooling around, sorry. Yeah, but I don't update it over a year and don't care. Just have a monster router with monster firewall. And I bet XP can last that long without problems.
Ill gladly take that bet. Most XP rigs dont last that long without a full reinstall, let alone without a reboot. As for DX games, I dont give a hoot, its a home theatre PC. That doesnt mean its hardly used; in fact its constantly used as digital video recorder (mythtv), media player and network streamer (xbmc) as well as file- and print server. Good luck running an XP based windows media center for that long. My current XP was installed >2 years ago and it working as great and effective as was installed 2y before. Each to their own.   |

Whats wrong with XP? I'm on XP right now and system is working nonstop without probs for 4-5 days
Lol, talking about low expectations. My HTPC runs ubuntu. I just checked the uptime. xxx@HTPC:~$ uptime
10:05:30 up 211 days, 23:07, 2 users, load average: 1.11, 1.10, 1.09 So it has been 7+ months since the housekeeper pulled the power cord or I updated the kernel. In the 3 years Ive used it, unplanned reboots: zero. You can't play DirectX games on ubuntu\any other linux editon, if not with wine and crappy performance. And I bet XP can last that long without problems. |

Need more info. Single/multi gpu? x86/x64? What gpu(s) exactly? So far the only no-cpu-bug combos I found with my current mining boxes are single gpu setups. I havent found any reliable multi-gpu setups that have no cpu bug and ensure 99+% gpu activity during mining.
12.1 + 2.6 + single gpu + low-medium aggression = no cpu bug. (5830 @ 975/1200 AGG7 WORK64 VECTORS4 phatk2 phoenix, ~310mhash)
11.11 + 2.1 + single gpu + any aggression = no cpu bug (5830 @ 990/330 AGG12 WORK256 VECTORS phatk2 phoenix, 322.7mhash)
I think 11.6 + 2.1 + multi gpu = no cpu bug, but I had problems with my gpus not maintaining 100% gpu activity and my hash rate suffered.
Multi gpu, but second gpu is a mobo chip. HD5770 and internal chip HD4250 on motherboard. Windows 7 x64. I use 4250 for browsing, bd movies, games, etc, just to offload 5770. I don't have cpu bug with XP (32 or 64 bit) with both 5770(arrgession=12)/4250 active and 11.6/2.4 or 2.1 (same performance to me). Cant get 2.1 to work on W7x64, more here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=61078.0 |

How much is your time worth to you?
I ask because your risers will give you headaches, your PSU(s) will give you headaches, your case will give you headaches... And also ATI/AMD with still not fixed on Win7 x64 fucking cpu load bug will give you headaches. |

|

Get the latest ATI driver. It doesn't have the CPU spinlock bug with multiple GPUs.
Bullshit. |
|
|
|

WTF. I even have cpu bug with latest drivers and sdk. WTF really?

Underclocking <300 even gives some performance!
Here's what I've had before for my Sapphire Radeon 5770:
960/300/1.005v:
temp1: 67
temp2: 72
temp3: 70
fan: 50%
221.39
And what now:
960/244/1.005v:
temp1: 66
temp2: 70
temp3: 69
fan: 48%
222.25 mhash/s!!!!

I use phoenix with same parameters as used on XP. Should be a difference?
|
|

Just tried 2.1 on WinXP and its working just fine. Probably installer issue with 7 x64.

Installed ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-vista-win7-64.exe, but phoenix 1.7.4 won't work.  Have this in command promt: File "phoenix.py", line 124, in <module> File "Miner.pyc", line 128, in start File "phoenix.py", line 112, in makeKernel File "kernels\poclbm\__init__.py", line 22, in <module> import pyopencl as cl File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 82, in load_module File "pyopencl\__init__.pyc", line 3, in <module> File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 98, in load_module ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading pyopencl\_cl.pyd |

Temp1-3 are different sensors, no? I don't see any others with gpu-z.
INdeed, you posted all 3. Still its worth pointing out that your 850/300 temps are unsurprisingly lower than your 960/300 temps despite lower fan speeds, so my point stands. Its also a fair point to make that gaming cards are not designed to run what AMD would consider a thermal virus 24/7. Professional compute cards from AMD and nVidia (firepro and quadro) are mostly based on the chips as the gaming cards, but they generally run at lower clocks and voltages. These cards are designed to run 24/7 at max load. Well, but temp of 960/300/1.005v is lower than 850/300/1.125v.  |

2.1 is the best to use, purely from a bitcoin mining perspective. The CPU bug is also fixed in 2.6
Why 2.1? phatk and phatk2 are optimized for 2.4 and I'm getting best performance with them. Haven't tried 2.1 tho. |

Moved today from XP to W7. I cleaned remained dlls from 2.5 SDK and double checked that 2.4 is installed, but I'm still getting that damn bug. No issues however on XP. What's going wrong?
|

Are you sure that you have AMD APP SDK v2.4 installed? You need to remove APP SDK dlls, if you've installed v2.5 before, because they still in os, crappy uninstaller doesn't work correctly. And if you installing 2.4 later, 2.5 dlls are not replaced, so you still have 2.5 after. This explains your cpu bug.
I am interested in hearing more about uninstalling DLLs from Linux... No idea, I had it on Windows. Maybe Linux has similiar issue. |
