I sold a PC on eBay about a yr ago. Did it the right one new parts, bench tested, posted via courier packaged super food.
I get postive feedback and he is thrilled with the item. 2days later apparently it stopped working. He wanted a refund. PayPal froze my account, took back the $1500 he paid for me and basically said I have to prove I'm in the right.

So I got the PC back mind you in pieces! I took photos and tested it all. Sent them to PayPal along with a teat report. Nope I was s having to give him a refund. I took the components back to my supplier. The GPUs where fried, Mobo was dead and the PSU was not the one I sent.

In the end with all my evidence and as well as warranty and replacement documents from my supplier I still had to give the refund and pay PayPal back the $1500.. so Yeh I'm done with them Fkn useless.

I have soldered straight into the power lines in the hub which goto my psu. No issues yet but its only been a week. Once I have 5 going ill see I'd there are issues and if so I will upgrade to a brand name haha.

Regarding the gpus it sat in a 15degree c server room with my other rig and web server so cooling wasn't an issue. If I was purely ambient air then they would have been roasting haha.

This was my first rig 3x 5850 flashed to 5870 bios. hashing about 400mhash each.


I then decided to swap to LTC and FTC and build a proper miner. 4x 7950's running at 70degrees pulling 650-680khash each.


I ended up getting ROI and ALOT more by jumping onto FTC straight away then dumping soon as it hit btc-e at a VERY inflated price. Sold the rig for what i paid for the parts. down sized my Gaming PC back to one GPU and got me some Block Erupters (ordered 50 and paid $5AUD each) even though alot of people say they never get back ROI im sure i will get my $5 each back .


I also converted a 500watt ATX PSU into a power supply to feed my USB Hubs which i am still waiting on. All up it will give me 40amps on the 5v and 14amps on the 12v. Plenty of breathing space.This way i can run and connect them in any order or place and not have to worry about plug packs getting hot!




Its running 10x USB miners fine. once i get my other 4 hubs i will be organizing and setting them up properly and will upload more pics.

Hi all,

Im still new to the forums but i have been mining and active on BTC-e for quite some time.
I know most people opt to build their own miners and probably cheaper but im just throwing it out there to anyone interested as i have access to equipment at work and testing facilities too.

i am building rigs starting from 800k/hash to 2.5g/hash+ a rig that a few people from work have bought is this one:

Cheers.

hey stated that payouts were incorrect on payouts earlier then block 15735. i havnt been home but when i check my wallet i recived a few payments of 300-400 coins in 4 batches. so im assuming he has made good with it?

New to the forums but have been mining LTC for quite some time. Decided to jump on FC and see how that goes.

Im currently running 2x 5850's gigabyte editions.

Mem - 900
Stock voltage.
Each card is pulling between 160-170watts

Currently mining on a new Pool - http://fpool1.zapto.org:15005/index

Hope this helps some people out and you guys hopefully can jump on a fresh coin and see how addictive mining is!

Hi guys,

i hope this is in the right place if not feel free to move thread.

ok so. System:
CPU: duel core E7500
MOBO: Gigabyte DS4L
GFX: Sapphire HD 5850
RAM: 4gig kingston hyper x
OS: Windows XP 32. SP3.

My problem is that i try to install the catalysts drivers which works fine. then when i go to install SDK it keeps saying "the display driver installed on this system does not have OpenCL support for AMD GPUs" etc etc.. if i click yes it runs openCL on my CPU and not on my GPU. i have tried every combination of drivers and SDK versions. from the ones everyone recommend for this card 11.11, 11.5, 11.12 etc. all while every time i check version in MSI afterburner it keeps saying catalysts version 12.8 :S

each time i do a new install i completely unistall everything, use driver sweeper to clear it all out and manually go in and check to see if anything was left over. then i restart and try again.

im about ready to kick the shit outa my PC.

Thanks in advanced
