A dyed in the wool killer would have asked about the little red button...

Looks like its an inch or so taller as well....

Ahh,

Good info 

Is there a PCI (Not PCIe) version of any card that's worth getting?

So increasing the voltage makes the card more or less stable?

Whats the rule of thumb?

Just curious,

GPU failure on rigs common?

The card is running default specs and is running cool.

Room temp 73f card temp was 70c

Card lasted one month...

Just FYI

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982

This price has a $10 rebate included...

If you don't mess with rebates, $459.95

Comparing the back of the picture to the Koolance site instructions, this is a reference card.

Ready for a cooling block.

True...

I have a really large plywood wall in my shop, the electricity there is .06

The vision is to hang these devices on the wall with a couple of hooks.

No net on wall, but power is easy.

I am sure someone has done this...

1. Motherboard w/Integrated CPU    $56.99
2. One Cheapo 480 Watt PS           $13.99
3. 2gb DDR3                                $10.99
4. 16GB Flash drive to boot            $10.99
5. WiFi Adapter (Nano) USB            $9.99

$100 system screwed to a piece of plywood the size of the MoBo.

Run OS from Flash Drive and WiFi network connection.

So basically add 100 to any PCIe card and a single card rig is born.

Thoughts?

I fixed it,

Funny story,

I have already ask the customer I had in mind, (their equipt is serca 1995)
They said bring it on... I guess they thought it was a good idea.

They told me, Free servers in trade for electricity... done.

So I guess I will get free electricity... 

You're ridiculous...

I said, "They get new servers/pc's and the electric bill... I get the Coins"
Do you think they would be getting new equiptment for free and not know why?

Either your definition of fraud is skewed or you're just ignorant...

You're assuming what I was suggesting that I tell them that they needed a new server, make them buy it and then steal time/electric.

... just because your mind works that way, lets not ASSume that everyone elses does...

Love me some Anchorman  

I have seen 689 out of mine before... everything maxed out. (1125/1375)

Good luck on the 700

DiabloMiner Rocks!

So I am on my third 7970 card.
The first two... rock solid, Liquid cooled and I can OC them for days.

I figured, I gotta get one more...
Ordered it from Provantage, When I put it in my rig, it doesn't seem to act as well as the first two...

But, I figured, I have it on fan cooling right now, I will wait to judge until I block it and run some blue juice through it.

All my cooling stuff is Koolance.
So I get my new block in, and take the new slightly broke in card apart, WOW!

The Rocket Surgeons at MSI left the clear tape on ALL the pads, it clearly says remove before using.

So the card that was acting crazy, (After I voided the warrentee by removing the heat sink) has the heat sink packing tape still attatched to the pads!!

Notice the Shrinkadink action from being overheated...

Really unhappy with this.

Just curious,

1. Has anyone built a rig with an A8 and a 7970/7990 card?

2. It may be possible for Rigs to be built and all but given to customers as servers.
The Diablominer could run in the GPU and the OS could utilize the rest of the computer as upgrades to customer equipt.

They get new servers/pc's and the electric bill... I get the Coins.

3. I also thought, I could give the drafting departments to a few companies new GPU cards, they use them during the day and at night they just leave them on. Schedule a Diablominer task that starts at 6:00pm and stops at 6:00am

Just thinking out loud...     

Amen

I rock....

So Knight me, and I will be on my way to changing the world.
