Meanwhile,
I have purchased some second hand 7950s from ebay which are much cheaper, run colder and almost as fast as the 7990s. The biggest problem i have had with the 7990s is the massive heat buildupm. Keeping them under 80c is a challenge, so I have had to underclock and undervolt the 7990s to best extend the life of the cards.
Im thinking watercooling is essential to get the most out of a 7990.

To get this thread back to a warm fuzzy feeling, I will throw out a few small xpm donations, who wants some ?


Yey handouts!

So I got a second one of these cards and can't seem to get it working properly.
After about 2 minutes of mining the rig will shut off for 5 seconds, and then reboot. It seems like a power issue but I am using a 1500W PSU and have both cards separated with 2 powered riser cables. After some playing around I found I can get the rig running only under certain settings.
I can run any 2 of the GPUs at intensity 19, enabling a 3rd will cause the reboot.
I can run any 3 of the GPUs at intensity 13, enabling the 4th will cause the reboot.
I can run all 4 GPUs at intensity 8 but its pointless.

Can anyone offer any ideas as to what is causing this?
The motherboard i am using is an Asus P7P55 LX (8gb RAM). A bios update had no effect.

This card is already close to the maximum number of watts than can be handled by its VRMs and the PCI-e connectors/cables. I would not recommend increasing voltages to try and get more kh/s something will fail somewhere. Remember that in the low-voltage high-current world of GPU's even a tiny increase in voltage can result in a much increased power consumption and hence thermal output (Power = Volts*Amps). You'd be much safer with 2x 7970's.

I wasn't going to increase voltages on such a new and pricey card.
 Doesn't the 7990 use less power? Since Electricity costs are my main concern, I thought it better to go the single 7990 card even if it was more costly that 2 * 7970.

Down again? What am i supposed to do on today? my job?
Even better, just troll the forums talking about how you should be doing your job.

Procrastination requires effort

It does sound like an interesting idea. Any plans to add DGC to the mix?

I have been waiting months for my jalepeno. Even if they do ship it by the time i get it 5GH/s wont even be worth it. They should offer to upgrade units for free every month they are delayed. Of course, this wont happen

I'm sure it's just a typo but in the subject line it says conmerce. CON-merce hehe
Reminds me of a dilbert cartoon where dogbert wants to con and insult people at the same time so he becomes a consultant.

Greetings,

I am using a Gigabyte 7990 (Malta) for Scrypt mining and I wanted to see what results others have had.
using CGMiner 3.2.0 with the following:
cgminer --scrypt --temp-cutoff 90 --shaders 4096 --intensity 19 -o stratum+tcp://[epools] -u [username] -p [password]
and i get 1300 Kh/s with GPU @ 1000 MHz & Mem @ 1500.
Using windows 7 currently, linux doesn't seem to have drivers available yet.

Can anyone top 1300 or help me push it a little further? Havn't been game to mess around with voltages / powertune.

Cheers

Greetings! I am new to these forums too. Eager to bust out of newb jail to get in on some group buy deals. The Asicminer usb eruptors look good. Who else thinks so?
