yeah your right it has not shown up yet hmmm ok thanks

Clipse

I have not received my payment.

thanks for the update Clipse

I hope everything is well with you and yours...

let me know if you successfully sell this to someone and I will retract my previous statements of skepticism

if you are an honest person I apologize I am just trying to protect the community

and to be honest with you my suspicion was actually that someone had hijacked your account that had been idle for some time a lot of that has been going on lately

and the fact that you have been a member since june and only have 30 something posts somewhat supports the idea that your account was idle for a period of time

good luck to you all.

buyer beware.

I am not going to offer any accusations here because I have no proof of anything, I just want to show the PMs back and forth with the seller and you can make your own conclusions. Based on my experience and the fact that this seller refuses to use an escrow service, I find it very suspicious.

me to him

him to me

read this PM and make up your mind for yourself, I have given up on trying to buy this camera, the seller has given me no reasons why I should trust him at all and now I am extremely skeptical, again I am making no accusations what so ever but personally I have a very bad feeling about this and I am providing this PM log available so any perspective buyer can make an educated decision on this transaction

heheh you really got me thinking who are these people who are not hoppers who are too stupid to not mine at a prop pool? you know the people who pay for the hoppers profits? are they zombie botnets that dont care? other hoppers who arent doing it right? some high school kid who just heard about bitcoin and now his grandpa is suddenly wondering why his laptop is very slow and running very hot?

wow that weird. our setup is identical except I am running windows and you are running linux
Just out of curiosity are you using pci extender cables? if so how many and what kind, what is your extender cable setup

there has to be someone out there that can explain to us what this 127.5 0 thing is

I find it really interesting that our hardware setups are identical hrmmm

thanks for the post!

this would make a very nice gift for my wife, if its not already sold I will take it

i can pay in Bitcoins, shipping is to NY , USA

the last thing that could be wrong is a screw is not fully tight, if anything its too tight!

I want to believe you that this is the right fan and I am sure you believe it is yourself,

but dude please understand although admittingly I am not specifically incredibly experienced with dissembling GPUs - this is not my first time playing with hardware, I own a bricks and mortar computer repair shop that specializes in laptop repair, ive been doing this professionally for 16 years - there is not really that much to these things your looking at less than 20 screws and only 2-4 different screw types depending on the model, youve got the shroud, the fan the pcb board with the gpu and vr,

it goes like this

1) remove all screws
2) remove back plate
3) remove gpu compression plate + more screws depending on model
4) gently pry apart
5) take screws off fan
6) screw fan into shroud, plug into board
7) clean off old thermalpaste and apply new
reassemble

and believe me here I WANT TO BE WRONG but I just dont see what I am missing, maybe someone else here who has specific experience replacing gpu fans could tell me what im doing wrong, im thinking maybe if I had some kind of spacer or something ? I dunno - I just want to put my gpu back together!

when I put the thing back together the shroud is pressing against the fan and the fan cant spin, like the fan is just a half millimeter to big ,

I sent you an email about this before, I just assumed it was the wrong part the part numbers are different from the fans you sell and the fans that come out of the gpu

if I am doing something wrong putting it back together or something I would love for that to be the case but I dont see how it could be.
 
what do you think?

can you get your hands on some reference fans that will fit 5870? because these fans do not unfortunately

I appreciate your feedback - thank you

btw 925 on all cards lasted about 5 mins

on each rig I have two gpus that are directly on the motherboard and 3 of them that use extenders

should I replace 1 of the extenders on each rig with a powered one?

no im not using powered extenders the way I do it is I have two cards sitting directly on the motherboard and 3 cards via extenders

your making a logical argument but this is what bothers me about it.

I have 5 rigs, they all have the EXACT same setup, same motherboard, same cpu, same gpus same psus, even the same exact brand names

If I can replicate the same configuration 4 times and it works perfectly with no problems (and has been working for many months) the 5th one should be able to work the same way too, unless there is some sort of hard ware problem.

I even swapped out the motherboard with a spare brand new gd70 I had for backup, I am starting to lean towards some sort of problem with one of the pcie extenders

I dont think 925 x 5 will work, I tested several different setups just to keep the thing mining while I troubleshoot it and I determined the best way to keep it going and maintain the highest speed possible was just to lower one single card down to 800 and keep the other 4 at 950

I tried multiple times lowering every single card by a little bit and when I lowered it down enough to where it would be stable I lost more mhash then just doing it the way previously described.

I am going to order some new pcie cables today, maybe I will get one with a molex connector just for fun

its not a problem where I am trying to clock them too high, I have 5 rigs that are exactly the same

same gpus, same motherboard, same cpu, same psu, same everything

i clock them all at 950/180 with no problem, I have been mining with 5870s for almost a year I know exactly how to clock them

thats an interesting idea, those extender cables are pretty chincy , I have had to resolder serveral of them , they are super fragile

what boggles my mind is where the heck does the 127.5 c and 0 RPM come from? why that exact reading which is of course completely incorrect, if you look at the gpu thats giving that reading the fan is spinning fine and the card is not hot to the touch

in my humble opinion it does not matter what you do with these hashes because you are buying them and now they belong to you.

Maybe you should have a EULA that miners must agree to before they can mine for you - something giving full rights to you to use the hashes as you please and also releasing the miner from any liability tied to said use.

I think Clipse is a good dude, and I think he has a good opportunity here to bring some transparency to this emerging technological mining trend. If you are using it for hopping take this opportunity to be honest about it, because there is nothing wrong with it, the only thing wrong here is dishonesty (in my humble opinion)

+1

I am buying this card. Will update thread once it arrives. thanks OP!

wow inaba what a change of heart! ( i have watched you rip pool ops a new one in the past for running a prop pool ) very reasonable of you.

oh and I agree with you 100%

naa man its true!!!

Theres this Nigerian Prince who needs help getting his money out of the country, he decided since all his cash has been blackened and he ran out of magic money De-blackening cleaner he would instead move his money into the US via overpriced Bitcoin Hashes!
