841  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Biostar A870U3, cannot auto power on after power failure on: January 12, 2012, 07:50:32 PM
Looking for A870U3 owners.
I have two boards, set the BIOS to switch the PC on after a power failure. This way I wouldn't need to manually turn the PC on after a electric outage. Both boards didn't work after many tries.
Does yours work? What setting did you use?
842  Bitcoin / Mining / Best way to manage multiple rigs. Mgt program, miner, fallback, etc. on: January 12, 2012, 07:46:29 PM
For those that run large scale mining opeations what kind of setup do you use to make sure your miners are always on, and with minimal support needed if pool went offline? Right now, I am leaning towards WIn7 for my rigs.

I am having a hard time finding a mining software that works under Win7 with fail-over support.
GuiMiner is popular, but it doesn't have fail-over support for phoenix miners. I like phoenix miner with phatk2 kernel.

Diablo miner has fail-over support, but I am getting a bit lower hash rate than phoenix with phatk2.
Also still trying to figure out how to assign each GPU a different username, so I can track each GPU on the web separately.

Another method is to just run the miners from a batch file. Is there a way to create a batch file to launch the miner, and if it failed to connect, auto reconnect to another pool?

What are your solutions in Linux and Win7?
Thanks
843  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: DiabloMiner device number? on: January 12, 2012, 07:37:52 PM
I am not sure how to read this with the -d flag. This is from a 2 GPU system.
mhash: 592.1/635.6 | a/r/hwe: 29/0/0 | ghash: 67.5 70.0 | fps: 30

I am assuming "mhash: 592.1/635.6" is the combined rate for both cards.
WHat is "ghash: 67.5 70.0"?

adding -d flag still can't separate out each card. What I wanted to accomplish is to assign each card its own pool and username.
For example, GPU1 to username gpu1, then GPU2 to username gpu2, etc.

Running one of those fans at 100% will do more than just shorten it's life a bit...  there's a good chance it wont make it past a few weeks.  Those fans are notorious for failing and aren't meant to run at 100 percent duty.  I keep spares around and have already gone through 2 of them.  The two fans that I ended up replacing were brand new and only a couple weeks old.  My girlfriend forgot to turn up my window fan one day and the room got pretty warm.  The GPU fans had ramped up to 76 percent to compensate.  One fan failed and the other fan failed 2 days later.  All of the cards that weren't at the top of the room did just fine.
Where do you get those replacement fans?
Need a couple here too! I've been sending cards back for RMA whenever the fan fails.

Sorry, I was waiting for it - and I have an alert link to the web page.  Not planning on picking up the next one.
aha. we found who's to blame lol
846  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How to check AMD Stream SDK version? on: January 11, 2012, 05:21:32 PM
that is going to be awesome. I always like new driver versions, as they solve the CPU 100% issue and other bugs or stability issues.
Will test with 11.12 version, with the older OpenCL files and see how that goes.
847  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How to check AMD Stream SDK version? on: January 11, 2012, 05:11:07 PM
My amdocl.dll is 10.0.831.4, and the OpenCL.dll is 1.2.
Does this mean I am NOT on 2.6?
Then, how comes I am still getting low hash rates? Any ideas?
That indicates a version previous to 2.6. If you want to be sure everything is uninstalled from 2.6 before proceeding, you can follow these instructions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54693.msg651989#msg651989

I would do a complete driver removal, in control panel, programs and features, uninstall ALL ati software with the Catalyst install manager, and restart your computer. Then follow the steps in that post to remove any remaining files. Then download ATI driver 11.6 or 11.11 (mining only, mining + gaming), install and reboot.
I simply download the rar files from the above link you provided, extract it, and viola!
Thanks so much!!!

So the driver version doesn't matter, it is the OpenCL stuff that matters? This means I can have 11.12 version driver, but use the older OpenCL files, and I should be golden, correct?
848  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How to check AMD Stream SDK version? on: January 11, 2012, 02:54:35 PM
amdocl.dll and OpenCL.dll in the \Windows\System32 directory (on 32 bit windows). Right click on them, choose properties, pick details. 2.6 is version 10.0.851.3 through 10.0.851.6. If you don't like it, delete those files and reinstall OpenCL from an older version (typically put on your system when you installed the drivers in the directory C:\AMD\AMD_Catalyst_12.1_Preview_Windows_Vista_7\Packages\Apps\OpenCL\OpenCL.msi; replace 12.1 with the directory name of the version you want.
My amdocl.dll is 10.0.831.4, and the OpenCL.dll is 1.2.
Does this mean I am NOT on 2.6?
Then, how comes I am still getting low hash rates? Any ideas?

i am almost certain it has to be the PSU.
850  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Are cards on PCIe extenders less stable or is my power too low? on: January 11, 2012, 02:43:48 AM
it should not, as it will get the needed power from the two 6pin plugs.
Your 650w power supply might not have enough power for all 3 cards.
851  Bitcoin / Mining support / How to check AMD Stream SDK version? on: January 11, 2012, 02:41:39 AM
Installed the latest 11.12 drivers, and that killed my hash rate. Apparently, 11.12 driver introduces SDK 2.6, which is crap for mining.
I tried to uninstall using the AMD add/remove feature, and select to remove OpenCL.
After that, I get the 11.8 drivers, and extract the OpenCL installer. Then installed that. Hash rate did not improve. This leads me to think that maybe SDK 2.6 wasn't removed at all.
I then uninstall the SDK using the OpenCL installer extracted from the 11.8 driver.
After that, I removed the 11.12 drivers completely. Even did a driver sweep under windows safe mode.
Finally, installed 11.8 drivers, and the OpenCL that came with it.
Now, the hashrate is still low. This again, makes me think that the SDK is still running v2.6.

How do I check the current stream SDK version? How to properly remove and install a preferred 2.4 or 2.5 version?

Selling 2 more cards to cablepair.

He will pay 1/2 now, and 1/2 when the card arrives.
Got full payment from cablepair.
853  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: AMD update kills Hash rate on: January 10, 2012, 05:10:26 PM
How do i check the SDK version?
I've uninstall the new OpenCL from the 11.12 driver pack.
Then, installed OpenCL from the 11.7 driver pack.
Hash rate is still low.
Then, I rolled back the driver to 11.7, still low hash rate.

when will you start to accept new orders?
855  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: FPGA development board "Icarus" - 2nd batch order start. on: January 09, 2012, 09:46:59 PM
That is the same sentence to cause me to think that fans are no longer included in the 2nd batch.
856  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Electricity cost where you live/mine? on: January 09, 2012, 08:23:36 PM
$0.10 per KWH after all the non-sense taxes.
For this past month, I calculated $0.096 per KWH. That includes EVERYTHING. Customer charge, tax, delivery, etc.

If not, I never receive it.
858  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: FPGA development board "Icarus" - 2nd batch order start. on: January 09, 2012, 08:05:24 PM
What software would I need to run it? Is it free?
What is the Hash speed for the firmware that will be installed as default?
Does it comes with fans installed? If not, is it needed?
Will be ordering one once these are answered.

I think this is all in the first post.  Software and fans included, ~380 MHash/s.  Can anyone report on stability?  I can leave my GPU's running for weeks or months even without any downtime - assuming no DDoS or power failures of course.  How are these running?
But now he is busy shipping out current orders, and not accepting new orders.

860  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / DiabloMiner device number? on: January 09, 2012, 05:35:28 PM
How do I configure the device number for DiabloMiner? Say I have 4 GPU system.
The default setting is that it will take all available miners, and combine it to show one mhash speed.
I need to separate the miners out, so I can track then individually on mining pools.
