1  Economy / Marketplace / [edit:obsolete] [WTB] Full-length 5830 for ¿30? BTC on: May 04, 2011, 07:50:08 PM
[edit:obsolete] BTC went up, 5830's disappeared

If you don't want to unload a new or used 5830, this post probably isn't for you.

I've been hacking around with my single 5830 for a few weeks, and want to press it farther than is either wise or advisable (I'm already at 1000 Mhz on air).

In the pursuit of that, I'd like to purchase any working full-length Radeon HD 5830 you might have lying about, in case I burn up my sole miner.

I'll probably use ClearCoin to create an Escrow Transaction, seems to be the thing to do for a noob with no rep like me.

If several people jump on this thread and reverse-auction, obviously I'd buy the cheapest card(s) I can find.  Cheesy

Please state what model(s?) you have to offer, as I might be more interested in some than others based on my research.
2  Bitcoin / Mining / 5830 @ [edit] 320 Mhash/s on: April 30, 2011, 01:24:38 PM
I wanted to dabble with btc a bit, so around a week ago I slipped a 5830 into a spare box that was lying about, started reading up, tweaking it when I had time, etc.

I'm happy to say that thanks to years of practice at overclocking-while-poor I am now able to achieve a sustained rate of 312 MHash/s (peak 312.71) courtesy of everyone on the forums who posts such useful info Smiley

My setup:

 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS x86_64
 fglrx 8.801
 stream 2.1
 phoenix 1.3
 gpu @ 1000
 mem @ 195
 v @ 1.163
 fan @ 100
 temp @ 74.5

I know this isn't the most efficient rig energy-wise, but I wanted to see how much bang-for-the-buck I could get off an entry-level card.

If there's reason to suspect a newer fglrx or stream package would bump it even higher, I'm probably game to push a little harder.

Oh, and if anyone wants the details on how I arrived at this number, I could probably go through my browser and command history and piece it together.

Cheers, and thanks again everybody!
