No need for another case,, stick all 4 cards in there....850W PS more than enough..
Only if your mobo has enough slots and are far apart, or else how would you stick 4 cards if their next do eachother? |

To be honest with you, I dont think it does, however im not sure lol. Im not home right now to check  |

Nvm. I wasn't paying attention when you mention the MOBO haha. Checking it out now Anyway I think the extra Fan isn't neccessary is it? Where I'm at it's 25 C~33 C all year round I just turn my GPU fan to 100%. Or is that bad? I've never really done any Overclocking until now any advice would be good My GPUs are running at 70 C average. The 5970 goes 90 C once on Windows (CPU@100% problem) so I switch to Linux and it's doing around 70~75 C. Too high? I think the GPU's are meant to handle up to 80, but whem you overlock your video cards, you NEED to make sure you have proper cooling. It already voided my warranty on the cards. Without the fan, I run about 70-75 Celcius. (Its hot where I live). With the fan, Im at 65 on one card and 57 on the other. If I up the GPU fans to 100%, makes too much noise, I hate annoying noises (Specially this fan on my GPU, ZZZZZZZZ) can't sleep lolz.. Some folks like to run 100% fan and keep about 50 celcius, but its just preference. If you want longer-life for your video card, dont overclock, let it go steady. If you want to make the most bang for your buck, overlclock slighty, but becareful, I hit 1000Mhz overclocked and blew a circuit fuse at my house. (too many electronics plugged into 1 outlet split into 12 (duh!? stupid me) MSI afterburner helps, gets tricky but each video card has its own performance pros and cons. You just need to mess with the settings and see what works out best for you. |

Nice. I have 2 (kind of, I'm using 1) rigs right now and both are running naked since 5970 is too long for any cheap casing and the heat.... oh the heat haha.
2x5970, 2x5850, 1x4850 (old card lolx). Can I know what MOBO are u using? I've been looking for a good one for mining since forever.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6089064&CatId=5538MSI always builds superior products, never failed me. I was hoping for more PCI-E slots, but I dont think I want to deal with the heat-factor. My room is already about 100 degrees sometimes when I wakeup in the mornings (close my door so people dont bitch about the noise, and leave my balconly door open for a breeze). Pros/cons, eh! |

Thanks. Yeah I figured, went head first in on this one without thinking. Cost me $700 but oh well. I can always use it for something else.
What case/specs are you running on your machine?

im pooling here now, adding 580 mhashes, ordered 2 more cards to total 1ghash. lets see what this pools all about.
Nice! "1Pays out every day at 14.00 UTC. Only balances larger than 1 btc will be paid out with autopay. "
Instant cashout is there and activates when you have above 0.1 btc in your account to spare me from tx fees. Just login to your profile and press "Instant Cashout". -I'd like to see the current block with my rewards status + confirmation status like slush has it
The pool uses Pay-Per-Share, that means you get your money instantly. Profile page updates every minute with new balance and when you have above 0.1 btc you are able to cashout instantly, even before the block has solved. Current round info is therefore irrelevant, but you may see solved blocks at stats-page (for the lulz). What are the advantages of joining a smaller pool compared to joining a bigger pool?
-bigger pool, paid more frequently, lower btc rewards
-smaller pool, less often, higher btc rewards
A large pool is not good for the bitcoin network. Smaller pools often pays out money very late. Swepool takes the best of these and is a small pool which pays out instantly. Perfect, I'm already starting to like you |

Only thing I dont like is:
"1Pays out every day at 14.00 UTC. Only balances larger than 1 btc will be paid out with autopay. "
-Instant payout would have been cool.
-15 minute to 10 minutes would be neat
-I'd like to see the current block with my rewards status + confirmation status like slush has it

correct me if I'm wrong- thanks

Do you guys happen to know what that means? (default is one of my miners)
Its still processing the shares but i keep getting this notice every 10 20 30 minutes..any idea?

client shows over 2,000 shares on my end on d1 and d0 shows over 2,000 shares.
Slush only counting 244 for d1 and 200 for d0...is something off?
The client counts all shares since you started it; slush's statistics show the accepted shares in one round. Also, it says i've got 0.49 BTC, how does this get paid out? I dont see any buttons
Payouts are made once an hour, you recieve a payement when your confirmed reward has crossed your set treshhold. Thanks. 2,000 shares is when i booted my PC up to join SLUSH, how can so many be rejected? Also, I take it it'll take over a few hours to confirm my rewards? |

Let me ask you guys a question..Slush pool....
client shows over 2,000 shares on my end on d1 and d0 shows over 2,000 shares.
Slush only counting 244 for d1 and 200 for d0...is something off?
Ive been getting constant unable to cumminicate RPC errors for 8 hours today.
Also, it says i've got 0.49 BTC, how does this get paid out? I dont see any buttons

for 5xxx and 6xxx cards, enable vectors. experiment with the worksize (MUST BE POWERS OF 2), until you get the highest hash rate.
newb question, can you show me an example? |

Solo mining was becoming annoying without proper hasing power.
What do you think is good hashing power to go solo? over 1gh?
Those beautiful days you could mine solo at 1GH/s will never return. At the current difficulty, I'd say you need at least 5GH/s to think about it. In other words, you should probably stop thinking about it. Would it annoy you if I told you that I mined my first 50 BTC solo, with a quad-core CPU? :-) I used my puny 5870 (340 Mhash/s) to mine quite a few blocks solo, too. But those days are, as you say, sadly long gone :-( oooooorgle... tell me about it. haha |

Sure, its cooperation between pools & miners. & This pool actually called in the name of "cooperative mining" Why should pool owner convince a miner? So if I want to contriube 568MH, what is the payout like? *never pooled mine, just curious..if you can convince me*
I need to hit another 500MH soon before though.
Didnt mean it like that. Just wanted to see peoples thoughts and advantages between the two. Calc says I'll do 1.30 BTC solo, so does the pool calc at deepbit if I pool. So far so good though, im already pooling and liking it. Solo mining was becoming annoying without proper hasing power. What do you think is good hashing power to go solo? over 1gh? |

I have mine at 965/175. They are XFX cards. They've been running at that clock speed for a couple of weeks now, no issues.
I get 288M hashes with Agression = 11.
Im new at this, can someone explain the flags for me? -v (aggression=11) -w128 (256) Sorry in advanced for the newb questions:) -v means vectors -w means worksize How do you know what to set for your card? does it really make a diff? |

Start GUIMiner. Set Bitcoin client path ( Solo Utilites - Set Bitcoin client path) Now GUIMiner aware of bitcoin client whereabouts. If you never opened your bitcoin.conf and did not created user/password in it: Set Bitcoin pass ( Solo Utilites - Create solo password) Enter username and password. GUIMiner will add them in bitcoin.conf Now launch Bitcoin with server options ( Solo Utilites - Launch Bitcoin client as server) Time to create new miner ( File - New Opencl miner or New other miner) Server - Chose Solo from dropbox. Enter your username and pass, created in solo utilites section (or if you already have user\password in bitcoin.conf - use them) Choose device and fill Extra flags field with options if needed. You set. Click Start. In left lower corner you will see: Difficulty 1 hashes: 0 (number will rise - it replaces "shares" that used in pool mining and works as indicator that all normal. In right lower corner you will see hashrate.  ^^GOOD STUFF! Very nice, should be pinned! |

Oh hi slush, you're a real person I'm new. Just joined your pool last week. Started @ 80MH, Currently at 440MH, and hopefully will be ~610MH tomorrow! So if I want to contriube 568MH, what is the payout like? *never pooled mine, just curious..if you can convince me* I need to hit another 500MH soon before though. |

So I recently just purchased two ATI RADEON 6970s and I'm running them in Crossfire. I'm not really generating a lot of Mhash/s Am I doing something wrong or what? I'm using GUIMiner and mining from Deepbit where I only get about 210Mhash/s These are my two new cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161349If you run them in crossfire it won't work, disable it then run a miner for each card. Is there a way to disable this through the Catalyst Control Center or do I have to take the bridge off? take it off the bridge. for the price you paid, you could have had 2x5830 @ 288 each, totaling 560 mhash. download afterburner to mess with your core clock only if you know what your doing |
