4  Bitcoin / Mining / Miner Build x2 on: May 26, 2011, 07:39:41 AM
Building 2 new rigs as a short term investment while the difficulty rate for mining is still someone feasible

Here is the setup, wondering if anyone has some positive tips on the hardware before I click the buy button.

Setup
===========================================
Motherboard - ASRock 890FX                    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157208
CPU             - AMD Sempron 140               http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103698
RAM            - Kingston 1GB 240-Pin           http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134784
GPU(s)         - 3xPowerColor AX6870          http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131373
PSU(s)         - 2xhec X-Power Pro 600        http://www.newegg.ca/Shopping/ShoppingItem.aspx?ItemList=N82E16817339025
===========================================

Thank god for a nice tax return,
I plan on building 2 of these rigs.

Total Rig Cost $976.31 Shipped
Grand Total $1952.61

With an overclock on those 6870's I should be able to force about 450MHash's out of the cards, hoping to average
2.5-2.7 GHash/s

Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated.





5  Bitcoin / Mining / Sapphire 5830 Memory clock < 550 Issue on: May 26, 2011, 07:02:34 AM
After a couple days of reading, and messing around mining with my nVidia Refference 8800GT and MSI Twin-Frozr 250GTS I decided to make a small investment into mining bitcoins.

I found a dam good deal on Newegg for Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 and tired of seeing my crappy 70MHash/s out of my overclocked nVidia Cards, I took the plunge and got 2 of the 5830's.

Figured may as well, even if I don't make anything back, I still got a decent pair of cards to run in XFire.

Current Setup
=================================
GA P55-USB3 Motherboard
Intel i5 720
2x Sapphire Radeon 5830's ( not x-fired )
2x Craptastic 550W PSU's

GuiMiner (poclbm)
Deepbit.net's MinerPool
=================================

Installation of the cards running stock, gave me about 200-216 MHash/s each
   - POCLBM Flags ( -v -w128 )

I tuned the cards using ATITrayTool
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733

I have been running the cards stable at 985/600 for 3 Days, using POCLBM Flags ( -v -w64 -r2 -f1 ) and getting 300-306MHash/sec
The fans are running at 100%, and I have a box fan blowing into the open case ** Yes sounds like a jet engine **

GPU Temps sit around 60-63C

I'm trying to figure out how on earth some of the 5830 users are getting their memory clocks down to 300. As soon as I go lower then 550MHZ Memory clock, the card crashes.

Any thoughts on why I can't lower my memory clock speeds, or suggestions.

Thanks
