The crew at Crypto Pros just went live with Auto-Switching Multipools (ASM) one for Scrypt coins and one for SHA-256 coins, as well as individual pools for the 25 coins the ASM's switch between.

The interface looks slick, give them a look at https://pool.cryptopros.com/

so I experimented a bit tonight to no great avail...BlazinBeaches your MOBO bandwidth thought is looking more and more the culprit unless it is a script issue.

I jumped the ATX on a spare 600w PSU I have and connected it to the card I have up on the riser.  To refresh, two cards on the MOBO, one up on the riser.  My hash didn't budge a bit, hung tight at 500kh/s give or take.

I know you said the power riser was not the trick but I had to try  , did a bit of homebrew and powered up the unpowered riser I had been using...but again, no difference.



So I will continue to mess with the config file and will order three 1x powered risers to see if that does the trick.

Anyone else have any ideas?

BB, what MOBO are you running?  I'm still learning...obiously  ... does running six 1x risers mean you can run a 1x riser in a 4,8 or 16x slot on the MOBO?

DRAT

If I wasn't clear before, the riser I am using is unpowered, could this be part of the issue?

Going to splice in a molex tonight and will report back.

Hi,

did you ever get it figured out?

I posted a couple of days ago (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240174.0) looking for help on a similar issue.

I was running two cards in the 715 to 720 range, added a third on a riser and the best I have been able to eek out is 500 or so per card.

Any help you can provide would be most appreciated.

I am running cgminer in Linux, I've replaced my config file a few times.   I am running two cards on the MOBO, and one card up on a 16x riser.

Good to know about the 1x, been thinking of picking up some.

All three cards have dropped, not just the one on the riser.

Hi All,

I've been running the following rig for a month with no issues:

Mobo:Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 R
CPU: AMD 4-Core FX-4100 3.6G 8M R
RAM: 4GB (can't remember which, cheap sticks)
HDD: 60gb Corsair Force 3 SSD
OS: Xubuntu
GPU:  (2x) Gigabyte GV-R7970C-3GB HD7970 R
PSU:  Corsair HX1050
Miner: cgminer

Mining LTC I am seeing a consistent 715kh/s per card, so all has been good.

I have also been running a third Gigabyte GV-R7970C-3GB HD7970 R on a separate box as I could not run all three without serious heat issues on the first, I as seeing 715kh/s as well on this card.

I finally picked up a 16x riser and last night I built a frame to hold the card up, and support my ghetto fabulous cooling system...WalMart box fan :-)

I have it running (about 24hrs now) and the riser seams to be working without heat issues of its own but I have not been able to drive the hash rate past the low 500's per card.

So my question is, is the lower hash due to a power issue, is the 1050 just not enough?  Is it a config issue?  Or is it something else I am missing completely?

Any and all help will be most appreciated 

looking forward to giving this a try...nice work.

welcome

Hi all,

Can someone point me in the direction of any information on how best to evaluate new crypto currencies.  I am new to all this (duh, in the newbie section) and besides looking at what is earning the most on sites like coinchoose and coinwarz, I have no basis for evaluating what currency might have legs for the future.

There seems to be so many new coins and most the posts I find on the board either decry one or promote one and I get the feeling that depends on the coin position of the author and not so much the fundamentals of the currency.

Anyone out there have some advice on how best to educate myself.

Thanks

www.cryptopage.com is giving a LTC away each day.

Seems the thing to do is introduce ourselves as newbies here...so...hi all.  New to crypto currencies but enjoying learning.  Have made some decent trades, have also learned some newbie lessons that didn't cost too much 

With the help of some friends I have two linex rigs running, currently mining some FTC and some LTC
