Noise is insane, fans are at 75%. GPU cores hover at only 60C though, not bad! There are 3 3000rpm fans at the intake of the cards. They do run at full power +, the 5870's are clocked at 900/600 and output is power is ~ 1550W, 124V & 15A. Still tweaking a lot to get power consumption down on the board, cpu and ram but for now I'm pretty satisfied at 2.06 Hashes per watt
This is a really neat setup. My 5870 2gb run cool at 40% fan speed, To spread the card I suggest that you use a smaller heatsink and place a GPU over it, then add a 2nd extender to the card on the right, (use shielded extender and provide 12v to it) Did you feed any riser with 12v ? I don't feed any risers with 12v molex. I may use a lower profile heatsink later, that was one I had sitting around. I can lower the fan speeds 25% and get on 5-8 degrees higher, but it is in my utility room so I really don't notice it. Why add a second powered riser? I've been curios as to what these are used for. |

I have BF3 preordered on origin but I don't want it anymore, if there is some way of sending it to you instead do you want it?
Not to be rude, But sure if it's free, i dont want some Different username/email that i cant change If it can be changed then i'll buy it That is what I figured. I'll try to get it changed to a gift d/l. PM me and we'll discuss price and payment |

MSI Big Bang Marshal B3 w/ 8x 5870's running BAMT 3.2GHs
Temperature and noise must be insane... Looks like meltdown to me if run on full power  Noise is insane, fans are at 75%. GPU cores hover at only 60C though, not bad!

whats the price per slot ? Not quite sure what you mean by this |

I have 2-7 5870's I may part with. If you still are interested PM me an offer to consider

Its Verizon?
This is correct |

WHAT WORKS
Motherboard Brand: MSI
Motherboard Model & PCIe Slots: Big Bang Masrshal B3 8x PCIe x16 slots
Power Supply Brand & Model: Antec HC 1200 & Antec HP 750
Number & Model GPUs: 8x 5870
Extender Cables w/Molex Power?: 8 x16 -> x16 Risers no molex
Works in BAMT & Windows 7. LinuxCoin final periodically crashes after 15mins to 1 hour. 1550W, 124V & 15Amps at peak load 3.2GHs.
This thing is a beast but a major pain in the ass build & not recommended to anyone that isn't technically inclined or hasn't built quite a few rigs.

Any sapphires? Blue or Pink? Also, what about a 4ct oligoclase emerald cut?

In process:
Purchase GD70 mainboard with sempron
extenders
Thanks Jen will update when recieved

You are correct, one of my cards is actually on a 1x - 16x. This board has the most slots outright that I have seen though.

Depends on how many you can run on one board. I'm running 8 5870's on one board generating 1550 Watts @ 3.2GHs, that's 2.06 H/Watts.

If you need them now, this forum is full of miners...

Can't fit into a full tower, it requires E-ATX casing or you may want to run it as open rig.
There are a few cases that support XL-ATX, but you'll only be able to run 4 cards sandwiched together. The board does support 7 case fans though. Open air is the only way to go for dedicated mining rigs. |

Nice build! What settings do you have changed with atitweak?
atitweak -e 900 -P 2 -A all atitweak -m 600 -P 2 -A all atitweak -f 65 -A all OC'ed the core a bit and took down the memory otherwise I'd blow the circuit at well over 15 Amps and more than 125 Volts I can't seem to stabilize under 600MHz on the memory though |

I have seen a bunch of post in hardware asking if this board works with no replies to them, that I have seen. I am new, 1st post, so I can not answer these guys. Yes 8 PCIe ports populated and mining with HD 5870's. I know it doesn't matter much for mining purposes but if you'll use the board later on for gaming or something else, 4 slots - 8x 2 slots - 4x 2 slots - 1x No hiccups running LinuxCoin, will be trying BAMT later today. Had to install and use ATITweak instead of ATIconfig and AMDOverdriveCtrl. I don't consider this an issue though as ATITweak if far better IMO. Only issue with having 8 PCIe ports populated with GPUs is power. I am running off a 120v outlet and the wire gets hot! If this is a rig you're going to look into, use 5830's or use a 240v outlet to power it. ~3.2GHs @ 1550W What worksMotherboard: MSI Big Bang Marshal B3 CPU: Intel i7 2600K Memory: 2GB Kingston 2000MHz Hyper X underclocked to 1333MHz Graphics: 8x HD5870 PSU: Antec High Current Pro 1200 Antec TruePower 750 Imgur Link to Picture of Rig https://i.imgur.com/tVUKx.jpgI will post a screenshot up later when I get a chance for proof of operation and stability Don't waste money on new with this board either. I purchased an open box from newegg for $279, saved a hundred bucks and it came perfect. Happy Mining! |
