Lol, this thread made my day.

On a side note, open source wouldn't make a difference anyway. He's obviously got a higher aptitude for programming. Most small OS projects such as that with intent to be malicious. Especially with little routine as, transfer of wallet.dat. Remove such code from source and release it anyway?

I can see a difference if it was trivial, but something as simple as a wallet.dat transfer or client side transfer initiations could be easily removed.

I don't care, I don't have BitCoin wallet on a computer that I use anyway.
I liked the UI, its not ugly. Kuddos on the app.

Hey,

I am currently running 2x Sapphire 5830's.
Picked them up at NewEgg for 102$

I have mine overclocked a bit, running at 1000Core and 300Mem. I am averaging 311Mhash/s. Thats pushing it a little bit on Stock voltages, but I haven't had an issue with the system becoming unstable or hardlocks.

Running @ 975/300 would using Phoenix miner, would get you right about on that 300mhash/s mark. Which if you ask me, is bad ass for a 100 Dollar card.

I was under the assumption Windows 7 (x86/64) could only address 8 GPU Cores, Same with Ubuntu.
Solaris I heard was some astronomical amount.

Keep in mind that Trixx can only overvolt/clock a pair of cards in CrossFire.

MSI afterburner would let me change clocks, but not voltage edit.

I suppose trying RBE wouldn't be a bad idea, or make some custom VCCD profiles in ATI Tray Tool.

I have been running my Sapphire 5830's overclocked at 1000/300 for a couple weeks with no issues.

You just made my day!

I seen then higher then 17, http://bitcoinmarket.com had then trading at over 20

My Cards are running between 62-66C on Full Load

Trixx will only overclock one of the cards, due to the fact, that It would only pair profiles if the card's are Crossfired. I used ATI Tray Tools.


I'm using SDK 2.1

I actually had issues with 2.4 and my Cards not showing up at all, but that was back using GUIMiner, I'd had to test it out with Phoenix.

Both cards on 1 motherboard no volt mods stock (1.163).

Very tempted to try and see what 1.25V will allow me to overclock the card to, STABILY.

GA P55-USB3 no separation cables. I have Sustained these speeds for about 2 days now.

I ran the cards solid at 1000/300 for about 2weeks, with no issues. Couple days ago decided to try Phoenix miner. After some trial and error found out that POCLBM gives me about 5-8Mhash more then phatk.

I have the Mobo on a tabletop, no case with two 120MM Fans blowing on the cards, with the GPU Cooling Fans at 80%.

Sorry, I mean 256WorkSize not 128

Hey I was just curious if anyone has pushed their 5830's over the 311MHash/s Mark.

I have two Sapphire 5830's

Core Clock: 1000MHz
Memory Clock: 320MHz
Average Temp : 60-66C Depending on the Time of day.

Getting 311.4->311.89 using Pheonix Miner in Win7 without Aero

Pheonix settings.
=================
POCLBM
VECTORS
AGGRESSION=12
BFI_INT
WORKSIZE=128
FASTLOOP

According to the Hardware comparison chart, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Thats pretty accurate, wow. May as well, save $500 and go with 5830's

Monitored the temps for 30minutes

Sitting at

Top Card 57C
Bottom Card 58C

Thats all!? I get 304 with my 5830 overclocked.

I just purchased 2 of Sapphire 5830's and I'm getting 304MHash/s on each card.

Running POCLBM with flags -v -w128 -r2 -f1
Clock speeds 1000/300

Not bad for 100$ card.

Little sooner then 1hr, realizing that my ugly boxfan was on medium, I turned it to high

Top Card is sitting at 58C
Bottom Card is sitting at 60C

Both have remained at those temps for about 10-15minutes



How long have you ran your 5830's at those clock speeds? I was bit afraid of frying the cards.

Keeping in mind that I have both fans on the Cards running at 100% and a High RPM Box Fan running at full speed pointed to the open side of the case.

I will monitor for an hour and let you know. Its floating between 59-60C at the moment.

Oh okay, I'm going to try dropping the clock right down to 300 and see how it goes.

So I got it down to 300 no problem, but with my flags for POCLBM -v -w64 -r2 -f1 I dropped my Hash rate down to 273-277

Switched it to -v -w128 -r2 -f1 and Its sitting at 304-306 on both cards.

Current Temperature 58C
Fan 100%
Core Clock 1000MHz
Memory Clock 300MHz

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.

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.

Make sure you leave at least one thread open for your GPU mining ** If you use it, to didn't specify **, otherwise you will see a drop in your GPU MHash's

At the current difficulty rate its probably more cost effective not to run the CPU, and save money on your power bill.
