I'm curious to see who else is planning on venting their mining rig to the outdoors.
According to the wiki page, that's a max of 375w per card. 1500w just to power the cards.
That's converting 1500w of electricity to heat, 24/7. It's like turning on a blow dryer and just letting it sit there.
Water cooling them will just move the heat from the cards to the radiator. (water pumps also require power and generate heat.)
Yes, but water cooling is alot more effective and efficient for something like this, sit your computer outside your bathroom or something and then it can heat that up  |

Thanks
So except for heat there are no other limitations, eg. O/S (Linux will be able to run these?)
BTW, whats the biggest single slot Card available?
Yes, linux can, but windows won't be able to. |

and 4 of those suckers in one rig is HOT, with a capital H.
Be prepared to cool them.
Yeah, If I were him i'd get PCI extenders and stick waterblocks (+ like 10 fans) on each one. |

Should do, just be careful you don't run the power from the same line as the rest of your house, ie toaster, oven etc.
You MIGHT need 2 1000v PSU's, I don't have a 6990 but i know they drain alot of juice.

Shiiiiiiiit its win2008R2 . . file me as . . . SOL!!!
altho i have MS VM thingie going, if I made a ubuntu VM would that work?
I doubt it, you could image the server as it is, install ubuntu, then install windows in the vm, because the miners need direct access to the GPU's and HAL. |

Two Embedded NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapters with TCP/IP Offload Engine 4. Quick release lever for rapid server access 5. Support for eight Small Form Factor hot plug hard drives bays 4. Hot plug power supply bays, redundancy option (High performance models include redundant power supply) 6. Front LEDs (show server status) and Unit Identification button/LED (for easy in rack server identification) 5. Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) Remote management port 6. Video Port 7.

Three full-size PCI-E expansion slots in standard expansion cage (or optional mixed PCI-X/E expansion cage). Two additional low-profile PCI-E slots embedded on the system board. Four slots available for use; one consumed by Smart Array controller (Base and Performance models) 11. Two low-profile PCI Express x8 slots. Slot 1 is consumed by the P400 Smart Array controller. (Base and Performance models) 12. Three full-size PCI Express slots in standard cage (or optional mixed PCI-X/E expansion cage) 11. Quick removal access panel ------------------------------------ DO you guys think I can throw 2 or 3 PCIE cards in there>? Or does it have to be video card slots? Or can they just boot up with it even with no monitors plugged into them to run mining routines? Thx, Im a sooper noob like seriously 45 minutes into discovering this shit & I dont wanna pay miningrigs.com $4k for a a fukkin athlonX2 lol You could probably use some PCI extender cables to hook GPU's up to it (no idea what the cables are called haha) Or can they just boot up with it even with no monitors plugged into them to run mining routines?
If it's a windows server your sol, if it's not you'll be fine. |

hey guys I have a retail (boxed) copy of the witcher 2 for sale. this is completely unopened and still in the shrink wrap. I'm selling because I got impatient waiting for it (bought from cdwow.com.au) so bought a local copy. can provide pictures if wanted. I'm in tasmania, and don't want to sell out of australia. I'll also do free postage. also, this is uncensored, so you won't have the australian crappy version. I'd prefer to trade with someone who has some trading reputation (i'd be willing to mail it out then get payment with a reputable person). feel free to ask any questions if i've missed anything. and I understand if you're sceptical of me because this is my first post  What state? shit lol. i'll give you 1btc for it ^_^, pc yeah? |

It's 5:36AM Monday morning right now, It should ship out No later than Friday, But I expect to ship it out sooner, My inventory shipment arrives today. If all goes well today, I should ship it out Today or Tomorrow! hehe, I was only joking. Your up a bit early? haha I'm a night owl. I am rarely awake during the day. My usual schedule is 4PM - 8AM. I really wish I could Be a day person, But all my life i have found it easier to be awake all night then it is to be awake all day, Maybe it has something to do with my light sensitivity. Part vampire? |

You running the client in daemon mode?
No.I just launched it normally like the older version. You have to run "bitcoind -daemon" if you want to mine solo, else you will get the RPC error. |
