you should down clock the memory to 300 and see what happens. 300 is the standard for the 5830.

I've heard that the 7xxx series is coming out this year so when it does come out any idea how much of a drop in price the 6xxx series will get?

Ive been looking at how much mega hash certain cards can produce and I noticed that if the price were to be cut for retail versions they would be worth investing in. My question is how often do ati cards drop in price and when can we possibly expect to see a change in price?

Don't. I don't want any further difficulty increases.
Although I don't want to get difficulty increases Tongue now is probably the best time to invest in hardware because the difficulty has calmed down and expected income in a months time is much more predictable.

How has difficulty calmed down? The latest estimate from bitcoincharts is below and whenever we have just raised difficulty it is calm but we get close to changing difficulty it shoots up again.

Difficulty   1379223
Estimated   1538991
When I say calmed I mean its not going up by 50%. This is only about an 11% increase which when you look at previous increases in the last month is very low.

don't do solo mining that says 40 days but it could also take 80 days. Plus we don't know what the difficulty will be in 40 days.

If you want the cheapest mobo you can get Id recommend just going with the cheapest mobo a well known brand offers. Just keep in mind most gpu's take up two spots so the pci express cant be right on top of each other. However if you ever plan to expand to more then 2 cards id recommend something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130274&Tpk=13-130-274

The reason being the pci express slots are spaced out quite a bit which makes 4 gpu's possible. Some mobo's may say they have 4 pci express slots but in reality they can only handle cards that only take up one spot.

I'm not 100% sure but I think 800 wats might initially sustain 4 5830's but power supplies do degrade over time so after running 24/7 for awhile I'm sure it wont be able to handle it.

The problem is newegg doesn't restock at 12:01 pst. They update their stock randomly. I purchased 2 5830's yesterday at 7 pm est and it was only in stock for 10 mins. A week or two ago I got two and they were in stock from 1 to 2 pm est. My point being you'll basically have to spend the whole July 4th holiday spent near a computer to guarantee you purchase one lol.

Sucks if your waiting on a 5830. The only way you'll get your hands on one is if you spend the whole july 4th sitting on newegg haha.
653  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help me setup dedicated rig with 5830 on: June 29, 2011, 06:44:56 PM
In all honesty you probably only need to make sure the mobo has enough pci express slots to fit the amount of cards you want. You forgot a power supply in your list. Don't skimp on this as it can destroy all your equipment. Also you should get 2 gigs of ram if you use windows 1 gig for linux.

I don't have an account with them but with any private torrent site it is required to keep a good ratio and not get caught selling invites or being the person buying invites.

Finally got my 4th 5830 working on this miner !  Got a great rack/shelf unit for $4.99 at target.  It was in the kitchen utilities section Smiley  Cards sit nicely on the rack with the pcie connector going through.
Thats really clever. They don't wobble around they are secure in that?

5830 build is more for entry/low budget rig (or for people who do not have the cash to buy 6990)
Or people who don't want to waist their money. You get the best megahash per dollar with the 5830 people don't seem to realize this.

You just have to watch newegg like a hawk Tongue
658  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Holy shit 5830's were in stock on newegg for around 10 mins on: June 28, 2011, 10:44:52 PM
I purchased 2 5830's on new egg around 10 mins ago. Some proof:

Some one has to be mass buying these for resale on ebay. D:

There are only two things. You don't need more then 2 gb of ram on windows and you don't need more then 1 gb of ram on linux. Also your case isn't specific enough to see it exactly just make sure your case can fit three cards.

I would highly recommend not skimping on your power supply as it could destroy your whole machine. Get a well known brand that has a lot of reviews.
