is there any way to mine using a ps3?
dont waste your time with a PS3 =\ |

Thank you all for the comments. I have been able to get over 300 Mhash/sec!!
I now have two 5830's.
I tried running both of them with two separate instances of phoenix miner and I had some major issues with the monitor that was hooked up to the new card getting bars across the screen and locking up my system.
Both of my phoenix settings are as follows:
-k poclbm Device=0(1 for the second card) BFI_INT fastloop=false Aggression=12 Worksize=256
These are both running off of separate copies of phoenix in different directories.
My overclock is as follows as well for both cards:
GPU: 985Mhz
RAM: 250Mhz or 500Mhz depending on how MSI Afterburner is working
Fan Speed: 75%
Temps are around 61-64 degrees Celsius.
So after I had that problem I decided to go back to GUIMiner until I can spend more time on getting phoenix to work on both cards.
In GUIMiner I'm getting about 250-285Mhash/sec but sometimes I notice that the second card goes down to as little as 5-20Mhash/sec for as long as a few minutes.
I am using the -v -w 256 flags in GUIMiner and I am mining at btcguild.
I was really hoping to be able to get 300Mhash/sec out of each card with everything being stable but I don't know if that's reasonable.
What are some things I can try to resolve these issues?
When you use MSI Afterburner, in settings, are the cards setup to be synced? Theres a little check-box for that, make sure its checked. Im running the same setup, getting 303 for each card, total 4 cards |

im doing 300 mhashes for each 5830 card via xfx or sapphire with phoenix -phatk.
now on my testbed machine, HAF 922 with 3x sapphire 5830s, check out the temps:
1st card (Top) 73 celcius
2nd card (Middle) 87 celcius
3rd card (Bottom) 65 celcius
What the hell is going on? I get the 2nd card is in the middle and cant breathe, but i have 3x200MM fans blowing and the HAF case is made just for air flow, any ideas?
running 950/320 =\
The HOT back of hte PCB of card 3 is right on top of the intake of the Sapphire Card 2  Card 3 Is Breathing Good and, top is getting ambient temps from card 2. The bizzare thing I found with Sapphires Cooling system is it exhausts out both back and front. Very odd. Perhaps invest in a PCIe Riser? http://cgi.ebay.com/PCI-E-16X-Slot-Riser-Card-Extension-Flex-Relocate-Cable-/160569002257?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2562a88911#ht_2615wt_1139Thanks, never used a PCI-E riser before, ill give it a try, but that means its going to have to sit somewhere else  bah humbug! BTW, how many cards you running to get 1,200 mhash/s? I have to run 2 xfx 5830 and 2 sapphire 5830s, all running 301 mhash each 975/340 |

Greetings all,
I am currently mining in Deepbit. The last 48 hours i generated 2.7 bitcoins using pay-per-share. I mine 24/7 with dual 6950's and average around 710-720. I have two questions:
a. Are the payout generally better in Slush's pool vs Deepbit?
b. Mining 24/7 I am better off using the pay per share or the proportional option, since I am mining 24/7?
Thank you for your opinions.
I actually prefer swepool.net myself as its Pay Per Share + the instant cashout button which lets you withdraw at any time. Everyone likes different pools, I've tried almost all of them and im really comfortable here with swepool.net Deepbit was good to me, but I think their growing way too fast. Slush is nice as well, but I hate waiting for confirmations. Didn't mean to hijack your topic sorry |

1) just google GPU Gadget windows 7 there are plenty to choose from
2) Try plugging the monitor cable dvi/vga into the 2nd card. You have to do 1 card at a time. it activates when you plug a cable in. 1. OK thanks! 2. Problem is I have a headless rig with dummy plugs no monitor 1) nice 2) Plug at-least 1 monitor in there, use the rest as dummy plugs. You can swap them depending on which GPU you want to tweak. Try this: ---------- You have 2 video cards, plug 1 monitor, the other dummy plug, tweak with sapphire trix tool or msi afterburner. Plug monitor into 2nd card now, dummy card into 1st, tweak again, when satisfied, close it and run your miner. Then you can plug 2 dummy plugs to keep it going. |

don't bother solo mining, at this difficulty level, you're probably not going to see a block in over a year.
That was uncalled for. How do you know what setup he has? Hey, right before we hit difficulty 560k, I did 50.05 coins in 5:59 hours. What kind of rigs are you using? It all depends on your setup my friend. |

A lot of people are using cases with more spacing (or no case at all), so they can leave empty slots between the double-wide cards.
Have you manually ramped that hot card to 100% fan? It's noisy, but it might help you out. You can also clock it differently than your other two, and spend that juice/cooling on bumping the cooler ones.
I'd imagine a good balance would be where all three temps even out at a level you're comfortable with.
That's a good idea. I've messed with the clock rates/mem rates, but it applies it to all 3 cards, need to remove sync. I couldn't find any mobos out there that have enough space to fit 3 cards + leaving room between cards, this is about 1/2 inch apart if any from each-other. I've ramped it up to 90%, but I dont want to do 100% if im running 24/7 because the amount of cycles in a fan (itll die on short notice if I do 100% compared to 80/90%) More in it for the long run than short, Ill mess with the middle card clock rates, thanks again buddy! |

You've got it, that middle card can't breathe. If the different cards have different types of blowers, might be worth switching up the order.
They are all duplicate cards, 3x sapphire 5830's. Such a waste if I can get these 3 working. Im doing fine 2x on each machine for 2 machines, but this 3rd rig wont work, 83+ now, totally need to figure something out. How the hell are people shoving 3-4 cards in a case? |

Listen, if you guys are going down for hours at a time, I really can't afford to babysit my miner and switch over to another (less profitable, but more stable) pool. I'm gonna have to switch to somewhere else until whatever that is going on is finished. Really sorry, guys.
I was thinking of bringing server down until all problems was fixed, but I was not allowed due to some of my miners not having access to their pc. I'm making some stresstests right now, and server should not go down any more. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Trader's rule: put your money where your mouth is  Or: Saying sorry when you cost one damage is only acceptable when you repay the damage. That said: I like this pool. If that "was it" I stay with you. if not, I also stay with you. With one GPU shared with another pool. Oh, justforgot - ordered 1 GPU's today that go online one point this or next week (come friday, takes some time to put the computers together). Another 12 coming next week So, how much of that do you want? And... will you actually manage to stay online? Why not then. I'll pay out 0.1btc to every worker online with above 100MHash (to avoid too much cheating) at 00:00 GMT tonight, for the ones still supporting me through all downtime issues. Happy mining! Im on your pool with over 1.2ghash/s. going crazy about downtimes, but you've been fair so far. not sure I understood what you mentioned above ^^ |

Watched the vid... looks nice. I have a similar setup with 2 Sapphire 5830's... was wondering 2 things:1. what is the gpu temp graph on the left that you are using... looks nice 2. Even with the config file mod I cant get afterburner to OC my clocks beyond the standard 875.... I have to use sapphire trixx, but that will only do the first card because they arent connected w crossfire cables. im using the newest beta version of afterburner. what version are you using? anything else im missing?? tia. 1) just google GPU Gadget windows 7 there are plenty to choose from 2) Try plugging the monitor cable dvi/vga into the 2nd card. You have to do 1 card at a time. it activates when you plug a cable in. |

wasnt a new version of trixx just released that allows voltage control?
I have no prob with msi afterburner (i dont do voltage) getting 300mash/s with my 2 xfx and 2 sapphire cards
It controls a single card, the voltage on the second card wont change. It acts like it changes it, but it doesn't actually change. you need to plug the vga/dvi cable (monitor) into the card you want to tweak. Im not a fan of trixx.. |

@freakin no its not covered @miningnew huh? @condorhero I am now getting 300 meghash/s using phatk with phoenix miner. I am overclocked at 975 core clock / 340 memory clock. I was using guiminer before with MSI Afterburner for the overclock, but phoenix miner via terminal is doing so much better + less stales for me! Ill write a tutorial if need be |

ok with phoenix miner @ phatk im doing 300 mhashes per card for my 5830's. much better than guiminer.
good work dinox!

New IP with Port 8337 down again
It was my fault, forgot to set rights on a config file. This will not be repeated again. Are we clear to start mining again? Yeah, everything is up and running now. ' Thanks, working, but still RPC errors. Need a new client to test now. |
