The gigabyte 270s. Are they the windforce version? Are they 2 or 4 gig cards?
I might be interested in a board as well. Which ones support a 6 core fx series cpu?

2x XFX 7950 @ $300. Hashing at 550-600

Am I reading this right, or do you have a 280x for the same price as a 7950?
Is the price per card, or for the pair?
Also, is the hash rate per pair or card?

What temps do the 7950s generally run you? Also, do you know around how much wattage the cards pull? Looking for a pair.
I'm looking to dump one or more of my current cards for cooler and more energy efficient ones, such as the 7950s before summer returns to South Texas and murders my electric bill.

Do they always report  all zeros as the hash rate?

Also, at the end of your bat file break to a new line and put the word PAUSE at the end, so you can see if it spits an error message.

cgminer.exe -o blablablabla stuff -o blablabla -gpu-memclock >9000
PAUSE

Oh, you may want to increase the size of your windows buffer (applies to Windows). I think I remember reading that the window has issues displaying a lot of devices. I had to do this to get more than 10 BE to show in the same window. Changing the windows size it's self may help too.
Right click the SHORTCUT to the bat file. Click properties and go to the layout tab. Change the screen buffer size to a few hundred more. Restart and see if that helps.

Example of options. Numbers are exaggerated.

I can't seem to find out how to get to the options besides right clicking the shortcut to the bat file. The options don't appear in the properties of cgminer or the .bat itself. I'm sure there's a quicker way.

Also, the usb hub is giving power to the sticks, not your computers psu. These pull a bit more than block erupters do. You may be pulling more power than they can support. What Amperage does your usb hubs run at? 

Uhm, nothing else is running on my cpu, and it has 8 cores @3.5ghz. I don't think anything is bogging it down. First thing I did when I installed the sticks was stop all mining/programs on a new profile /users/ant without than with admin rights.
It reports that <2% of total cpu is being used. Even mining.
Also, wouldn't my install to a usb drive of limited the processes? I formatted a 14 gig thumb drive and ran my box off of it, they still zombie out.

I'll head back home and try again, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Thank you very much for the quick reply.

I've tried since I got the things to get more than one to work. I've noticed there's little to no support for these things.
SPECS Win7 SP1 FX8350 1200Wpsu 6 gigs of ram running 4 hdds and 2 7970's undervolted. 1 case fan in the front. My cooling is done by external fans to the case.
I was running with out sp1, but I tried an upgrade to see if they will work on it. No go. Yes I've reset the computer a million damn times.

I can get one to work for about 20 minutes. I can get multiple ones for a short time, but they zombie out after a few minutes.
I have three 7 port 5V3A usb hubs. All of these hubs are powered from the wall, not usb ports. They are all on a separate 120V line than the pc is on. These hubs have powered 16 block erupters for months and never had an issue.  
Tried a few diff versions of cgminer (including both from antgen1 repo). I found out the hard way that not every version will accept the -bmcs options.
They will hash for about 2 minutes, than all of them stop flashing entirely. Eventually a couple will start back up. One or two will keep running, but the rest zombie out.
I used zadig to install each driver individually one by one while plugging them in.
The hubs are on their own usb ports on the back of my box. IE 1 usb hub on mobo to 7 port hub. I've tried running only one hub with only one miner. It will work for 5 minutes. If I add another, than it'll work for a bit, but after I get to the third it just zombies out regardless of hub/port. NOTE it's not the same port, hub, or stick that zombies out. They change.
I have disabled all the power saving options in windows 7 and bios. I checked via device manager, and through the power options in the control panel.
Tried switching from USB2.0 to USB3.0 (the hubs are 3.0 capable but work with block erupters on the 3.0 or 2.0 ports) Tried a 10 port 2.0 2A hub with 1 miner, and a 7port 4A 2.0. All powered, and on different circuits in the house. Literally I had a fat orange extension cord running from the kitchen to my room to make sure it wasn't putting too much strain on the breaker. Although none of them have ever flipped.
Every time all but 1-2 will zombie out.
No fans, no daisy chains, no other usb devices besides Razer naga mouse and an x6 keyboard. Well there is one wifi stick, but it's disabled and I've tried removing it. Same results.

I've checked the wiring in the house after this with my multimeter and kill-a-watt, and even ran this bedroom with its own personal 120 circuit, then added another 120 line to the other side of the room.
Computer on one circuit, usb hub on the other. The still zombie out.

I thought maybe it's a driver/windows issue, so I installed a fresh copy to a thumb drive and booted from it. Same results.
I'm not overclocking them. They are set for 0781.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Interested as well.

Yes, yes he did... Already. Wow.
The speed this guy works at is mind boggling.

I would like to place an order for 10.
Payment coming soon.

Is it too late to put in an order for 11?
Paying with BTC.

Yes, but it takes FOREVER!

There is an address used only for faucets, and it's made a tiny bit. It just took forever, and the payouts from faucets are much lower than they were a year ago.

I too am curious about group buys. I want to get in on some of the newer usb sticks, but I can't reply in those threads yet.
