RMA your PSU now and replace it.

I had a 750W PSU running 2x6870's for little over 12 hours before it literally went bang and sparks shot out of it. For those 12 hours it was a kinda "hot" smell, even though the PSU didn't feel hot. Faulty capacitors. Best be safe than sorry

I'm running 1x7950 + 1x7970 on 700w psu. Your psu was deffinetly faulty cause one 6870 power consumption is about 150w

My dear,


first of all you should get easily 570khash on each maybe 600 with 72C temp (room temp25C) with stable condition =>1 week
1st- get nice cheap professional PSU like delta series for IBM serveres - you can get them under 20 bucks with 1200 SERIOUS WATTAGE capability,(there are 1800 and even 2,5/6/8Kw versions on the market) unscrew it, split and let them breath/cool maybe add some fan... (Im supplying 4X 7970 on 1  = one , 1200db  delta ibm)
2nd check voltage and amperage on all pins for your knowledge [and do it always before adding extra power consumption unit]
3rd play with your mem and gpu clocks at least long you did it  already with your girl/boy Friend Smiley
4tth its really possible to get almost  600khash on 7950 specially if you run cgminer under any debian tree distro.

5th- in need of answers pm me



this are rates for scrypt mining LTC/FTC/CNC etc

7th (don't ask where is 6th) Never trust any PSu , always open it and check main components like trafo, BIG capacitors etc.. I got bunch of shit worth, 1000 watt called psu on stickers. Don't trust stickers Smiley


8th adjusting voltage on gpu/MB in my private opinion is pointless. Let me earn some lesson if you are successful with over/under volting

Jep, I´m geting 610kh from my 7950 and 670kh from 7970 even with GUIminer but cause it is not open air rig then the temperature is about 80C. I put the 80mm fan to blow between the gpus.
8th adjusting voltages has point only if you lower them - saving energy.

You probably right.....
But anyway you dont need 1200w to run 2x 7950. I suggest 750-850.
700 is pushed to the last. Before I turned voltages down I measured 760w power draw from plug!?. I cant imagine how the 700 withstands but it does.

I'm running 2 GPUs on 700w PSU. One 7970 and second 7950. I get 1300Khash with GUIMiner scrypt (Litecoin).

There could be cooling issue as I had. After about 5 minutes upper GPU swhiched off...
I installed additional vent to blow between GPUs and turned voltages down. GPU temp dropped 18-20c

Well, I just tried the new drivers while gaming, CRASHES CGMINER EVERY FUCKING TIME after some time of running.
Im STILL fucking stuck on 12.8!!!!

I REALLY fucking want some new drivers, What The Fuck!

What cards are you mining/gaming with?
7950

I tested 13.4 but my bitcoin hashrate dropped from 630 MH/s to 560 MH/s. Also after that I was unable to uninstall the drivers and revert back to 13.1 (even with driver sweaper). Cgminer was also crashing upon startup. I had to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit to get all fixed. Using Sapphire 7950 boost OC @925 MHz stock version (of course my GPUs are overclocked over these values).

I do not know how is on Linux but if you have similar setup, just do not bother with 13.4.

Hi, If you uninstall ATI/AMD drivers use this tutorial. It helped me.
