Powered risers replace the 75w that is normally present with the pcie lane physical connection.

In other words, if you don't use powered risers, you will be overspeccing your 6/8 pin gpu connectors. 

Always play safe.  Miners don't let other miners use non-powered risers.

No.  Pools always get murdered in the first couple hours.

CGWatcher / CGRemote has made it too easy.

It was a pre-mine of 25k coins vs a total currency # of 1,000,000,000.

I think you'll be ok.

No.  GPUs are for the masses, ASICs are for the rich few.  Keep scrypt in the hands of the people.

Undervolt that card by modding using bios using the VBE07 bios editor. 

Worked like a charm to bring my xfx 7950 volts down to 1.09.  I lopped off 10c from the top-end doing that cause the card came stock @ 1.256v which is way too much.

Asus tends to be overpriced sometimes.  

Gigabyte 79xx cards had VRM flame-out issues, so i am not sure if that's still a "feature" of the 280x variations.

Powercolor i have heard of general QA issues, like the XFX boards.



My personal vote would go to MSI!

Prolly need to wipe your drivers off cleanly.  After uninstalling and rebooting, try the Catalyst 13.4 / APP SDK 2.9 combo.  All my 7xxx cards love it.

WTS 100k DGB

PM me.

Nice.

Which make/model 290s?



Also nice, which make/model 290 and what clocks / volts?

OP, your .bat / .config file string(s) would be helpful.

How much is this coin going for per 100?  I am seeing anywhere from .04 - .1 per 100, but i would like to know what people have been actually paying for it.

It appears to be quite difficult to mine out.

I offer no solutions, but i always warn against mixing cards that like different --gpu-thread sizes.  The 280x / 7970s are rare in that they like -g 2, and for that reason mixing them with any other cards (just about all of them) that prefer -g 1 is asking for it.  In other words, OP, you are likely doing nothing wrong.

Got another machine you could throw that 6950 into?

OP, it's a risk, but it has paid off handsomely for me and many others.

Don't do the trading route though.  If you lose it, you lose it all.  If you go hardware and lose it, then at least you have the hardware to sell back.

Also, don't worry about the Scrypt ASICs.  The sheep love to bleat about them, but they are still a pipedream from the investor pov.  No-one wants to invest millions into a device which plays in a market where there are whales waiting to pull the rug out from under them.  The second LTC hit $40 a month or two ago there were massive sells (hundreds of thousands of LTC) that went up.  LTC has yet to recover.  Keep that in mind.

Perhaps the first BFL of the scrypt world has been born?

Good luck to keeping up with demand.

Woop, forgot to leave you some trust!

I am quite sure they've wiped everything.  They've been named in a lawsuit after all.

Each 7850 will pull 110-120w, and the 6970 will pull 175-200w + that x4 chip = Cutting it close.
