what if you need to reduce the hash rate near zero? no fun it that.

outdoor temp in the 90's, with the sun beating down on it, spas can easily get near their 104 optimum temp with no extra heat input (dont forget using it increases its temp too as the spa's pump also heats it [friction] while its running, for scheduled filtration periods and in actual use). spas have an overheat cutout because of this.

couldnt you just run the water to air and water to spa loops in parallel (ie 2 loops). use stepper motors connected to valves to adjust flow to each, and some logic chips (with temp sensors in the spa) controlled via rs 232 port to control the steppers. computer program monitors the temps. water flow can be through one, the other or both loops, depending.

hot tubs are around 40c (104 F). at least mine is.

as for heating your hot water with mining energy, a (very expensive, heh) roundabout way is have a geothermal HVAC system installed. in the summer when its in AC mode, excess indoor heat is used to heat your hot water tanks via its heat pump (so it can actually get it to 160 F if there enough warm air in the house). excess heat after the hot water tanks reach their temp is dumped into the ground. so, more or less free hot water in the summer

only practical for small scale mining setups (free gigs maybe?) but if youre gonna go geothermal (we are) its a nice bonus.

I know, not exactly what you guys are talking about... but..  figured Id toss it out. maybe someone here can devise a dedicated small scale home brew version. a heat pump seems to be one good way to regulating temps and moving the heat to where you want it. lotta sharp minds here, some one may think of something.

no, it wont.

there are 9 ground pins on a x1 connector, and it goes to the mobos ground plane. ground is ground at that point (and its a huge, relatively speaking, amount of copper) and its shared among all PSU ground wires that directly connect to the mobo. count em up; there are a lot.

the original burning problem was (in almost all cases) the limited number +12v power connectors to the PCIe bus via the AUX connector. not the ground path.

perfect!

thanks

your call - youre driving

whatever you put up on git it Ill try. I have good backups and cgminer is very protective of the hardware entrusted to it, so alpha code and I get along well.

the boxes do have the proper values. the program works perfect. thats the "problem," so to speak.

its when I deliberately blank a value out (empty box) and then click "apply settings" it seems to send the number zero.

for example, I set fan speed to a blank box (because I dont want to change that value, as cgminer may of changed fan speed since the page was loaded) and click apply settings, when it reloads the fan setting input box is now "0" and the displayed data line (the part with the colored boxes and start,stop,restart) says the fan speed is 0%, 1026 rpm. my normal minimum fan is 1480 rpm (configured via --gpu-fan 40-80).

cgminer eventually brings the fan back up to speed but its disconcerting to hear your fan speed drop to next to nothing lol. being able to not send all but the value you want to change would make it more idiot proof and not override cgminer.

can it be set so a blank input box does not change that value? or a tick box or something that will not send values you dont want.

EDIT: I use FF or chrome on the PCs, Ill use opera on the android phone (havent tried it yet though). but again, the program runs fine.

grabbed the latest, works well. no options to change stuff till I edited my bat file cgminer flags (yes I still use command line flags instead of config files; lazy in my old age) to allow write access to my network. then I could change stuff.

I do have a feature request. in the screen (page?) that allows you to change intensity, clocks, volts etc.. can you allow us to change only one or 2 values instead of them all each time? lets say I want to just change to Dynamic intensity, I dont want to send new fan speed, engine clocks etc to cgminer as I use autofan and autoclock. leaving a field blank seems to send numeric zero. and I may pull an oops and send the wrong volts to a card, thinking Im in another field (or something equally stupid). so I may want to have it set so I never send a new voltage.

maybe put a tick box in each line or field. ticked means send the value in this line, unticked means dont send whatever value is in that line.

sent 1.33221100 to ya.

and again, thanks for the additional functions.

just got in; busy day.

it was a config error in php.ini, had zen tags (think that was what it was) enabled. disabled it and presto fired right up. changed some settings and the miners reflected them right away.

sweet! my life just got a bit easier

got a bitcoin addy? ill send ya  a coin.

grabbed the -bc20688 git.

copied the files over the old anubus 1.03 files in apache (win7), uncommented extension=php_pdo.dll, extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll in php.ini and edited the db name/password and set db_mysql to 1, the other to 0 (other stuff was OK) in config.inc.php.

fired it up...

and got a blank web page lol.

Im new to this web server stuff, so I must of missed something. Ill try again tomorrow with the latest git and double check everything again.

screenshots look great BTW.

I get the following error running on Win 7 - 64bit:

-------------------------------------------------------------
[2012-02-20 14:44:59] Started cgminer 2.2.7
[..snip..]

Is it a bug or configuration error on my system?

Video card is Quadro FX 380 card, ForceWare 295.51 driver.
[/quote]

cant say what it is, but I can say what its not: its not that youre running 2.2.7 on win7 64 bit as thats what this rig with an amd 6870 has as its OS, and running 2.2.7 cgminer

maybe drop back a couple versions on your nvidia driver? did you ever have it running before?

not may windows or nvidia users here, so I figured I toss this out at ya. not much Im afraid

yeah I got that impression too, hopefully he is OK and his wallet is accessible to him. even if he dropped this he still deserves the donation.

saw some cool stuff in this thread beyond the current version, hopefully there will be ongoing support and even more development.

ck, youre a machine

I miss the donation bit as it was a "set-and-forget" option but I understand the reasons for dropping it.

of course now i have to actually pay attention and donate manually again. *grumble*workworkwork* *sigh*

kidding about the grumbling of course.

sent 1.221122 BTC your way.

just got around to trying this out. nice! although I found out Im dumber than I thought as it took an hour to get it running even with easyphp. I am a total noob with webservers but Im alernin. on win 7 here on this box.

found a bug, if you add a miner that doesnt have --api-network and --api-listen (DOH!) its added "invisibly" - mine showed 4 hosts, and displayed 3. it slowed it down on refresh by LOTS. cant delete it in anubus as its not visible. I deleted it out of mysql though so its all good now.

sent 1.112211 BTC to ocminer. thanks!

thats generally a bad idea. thyere still may be left over drivers and crap from the original mobo that is was cloned from. even if new drivers installed who knows whats left over and trying to talk to non existent or slightly different hardware.

try a fresh win install.

seems theyll also gladly accept the donations of 7970 cards. heh

as I contribute to folding@home with 2 GTX285s and a Q9660, Ill pass on this..

I run the directCU version of that card on the rig Im typing on now (my "daily driver" rig) with gcminer, 11.11 drivers, no flags aside from intensity and the flags for auto clocking, fan and temp limits. 1000 core, 900 mem 1.174 v. gives around 315 mh/s and temp is regulated to 74 C via cgminer. runs stable for weeks at a time, might go longer but I usually have to reboot for some unrelated reason or another.

I wound up replacing the stock TIM with artic cooling MX-2 as the stock stuff sucked, card ran way to hot for my liking before the switch.

yup.

folding @ home, contribute to research for cures to various diseases. best on nvidia hardware (as well as CPU clients). all GPUs run independently, same miners, so mix away.

nvidias physx, gives more physics based eye candy for some games. you add a second, usually less powerful nvidia card (or sometimes 1st nvidia card with an ATI primary, but phsyx doesnt officially play nice with ATI cards) to your rig to let the 1st do rendering only instead of both rendering and physx.

Ill add my 2 cents, as I have occasionally had your problem (cgminer cant connect, keeps trying to find a pool, submits the odd random share though, only a restart cures it). happened in 2.1.0 but not (so far) 2.1.1.  it was pretty infrequent though, rare enough I wasnt too worried. but now that Im reading the thread...

machines are win XP SP3, vista 32 bit SP2, Win7 64 bit. various driver versions as the only one I really keep current is the 6770 on the HTPC.

google DNS
donation on
3 pools in failover mode: Slush, BTC Guild, Deepbit - in that order
behind NAT (well, Internet Connection Sharing on the win7 box as I have a wireless 3G connection via USB modem as internet)

when cgminer goes into the weeds I can still browse the network and internet on the affected machines.

I seem to have been affected way less than some and my modem drops and "redials" every 24 hours.

EDIT: no one has mentioned if the cards in question are OCd. I do have all cards wound up pretty tight OC wise. but never had errors, bluescreens, driver recovers, SICKs, DEADs, etc. very stable so far. I do folding @ home too so Im a fairly old hand at winding the snots outta videocards and still letting them live long useful lives
