Yes, in a way. The word "kluge" (also "kludge") by some accounts derives from the non-electric Kluge paper feeders being cumbersome to use and many people being astonished they actually work given their complexity. Often breaking down, difficult to repair and use, but came before technological advances really "permitted" the devices to run automatically. That the device worked at all is awesome.

In contemporary use, it sometimes has a derogatory tone implying the system designed does not function adequately because it has many poorly thought-out patches which do not fix the core problem - but it still runs -- often, a kludge (or kluge) is considered a temporary fix to a problem which deserves more attention. I intend it to simply mean a clever, though inelegant, solution to a problem, which I find fits my personality fairly well.

Mine get unstable much above 1.24v I've found, and since I can't clock them over 990MHz for non-voltage reasons, there's no point running above 1.19v which I have 7 cards running stable at for a few days now.

+1. I'll be buying @ my next payout.

Where's my f*cking money?!     

This solved the problem in one of my cards having that issue as well.

8 BTC of product sold to minerX. I sent him the product prior to being paid without any intermediary because I was going to be gone when he would have sent the BTC otherwise. He was honest enough to pay me even after I had already given him the product.

GreenFox assumed all risk and paid out 3.6 BTC for product without trouble. Was a pleasure to talk to.

ASUS cards, I just learned, can be overvolted easily with ASUS SmartDoctor. Bumped up from 1.168v to 1.224v and was able to get to 990MHz core still at temps under 80*c. Now @ >380MH/s per card using phatk on phoenix.

Trick to getting around Trixx/Smartdoctor not seeing second card -- start off in CFX, overvolt the cards, then switch CFX off. Assuming you have dummy plugs in, the overvolt should still hold on both cards. From there, use MSI AB to clock them up to where you want.

(dunno for sure if that works on Trixx. Maybe if you go CFX, overvolt, close program but keep settings, then switch CFX and OC using MSI AB)

Last bump. Taking my remaining 4 off the market in 10h30m!

Done -- and I expect my .01 BTC fee back, too. 
 

Bump for undercutting Current-C 

Aside from a serious hardware failure causing something like the PSU to explode, your primary risk is in the lines running up to your rigs. Old houses have old lines, usually at relatively low ratings. Check your breaker box (and the lines themselves!) to make sure your lines are rated high enough to carry the current you want. 15a, for example, is not acceptable to carry much over 1500w on @ 120v. That obviously includes fans and whatever else you want on them. Consider how old the lines are, too. I have 15a lines from a 60-year-old house and am very uneasy about putting over 1200w draw on one circuit.

Assuming matliq purchased and the OP's no longer selling -- I'm selling Steam download codes for just 2 BTC each. 6 left.

Has anyone received their order?

Very easy solution.

Miners (not me), sell your rigs for BTC. This will increase the demand for BTC while lowering supply. ATI cards are hard to find -- decent 5850s - near-impossible. Great time to charge a premium for it!

Even easier solution -- anyone who recognized how overpriced BTC was when it was near $9 (probably just about everyone reading this) probably sold off their BTC for MtGoxUSD. Let's assume half of those people still haven't withdrawn their $ from MtGox. Simply place buy orders up to the point of highest reasonable resistance (I'd say that's $7.50). Once we're past that point, it should be very easy for the market to keep swinging upward. I personally have buy orders and sell orders in all the time within a 3-point spread. All miners looking to boost the price should. Buy low, sell high -- lessen others' supply and boost your own. More control of the market, more your buy & sell orders matter.  

At any rate, I'm still in the black until the price of BTC drops below $1 at current difficulty, and I'll be shocked if the price of BTC doesn't increase at least one full point by the end of the week to meet miners' lack of interest in posting BTC for mediocre returns

Reaching for straws:
Voltage on power supply is switched to the incorrect setting (many manufacturers stopped including the switch toggle, but some still do -- I think it varies from 110v to 120v or 240v -- don't recall).

Something metal on the motherboard?? I'm guessing there's no burning silicon smell, though, so probably not.

Unsupported CPU??

RAM isn't in DDR3_1 slot if using only one stick of RAM -- sometimes a MoBo won't identify the RAM if not in the first slot.

Only 20 of the 24 pins to MoBo are connected.

If you click on the individual miner (not summary) in GUIminer, it should give a more detailed error message in the bottom-left box.

Where it's dark red:

You may have some defective hardware, then. I'm guessing the MoBo doesn't have an LED POST readout on it?

I'd try reseating the RAM, only putting one stick in, and trying different RAM slots, then reseating the CPU, then replugging all the power supply connections, and then I'd send it back if it still isn't working -- worst part is you don't know what's failing unless you can get a POST code. Rarely, MoBo manufacturers include a speaker which will beep out an error code. If you have a case, sometimes they have the speaker built into case with a wire coming out which goes into the speaker pins for a code.

Sure you have the username & password right?

On BTCMine, it's (BTCmine Username)@(Miner name)

They weren't rare a week ago and before.  

Yes, I think they really were bought out primarily by miners. I know I purchased 8 just a week ago.
