I used the styrofoam peanuts that Newegg uses with their shipping as the spacers between cards. Works great =)

Additional mining hardware from Newegg through BitSpend.com when it was a bit over $20 USD/btc.

On paper, it should be plenty.

Please sticky this and lock it.
I see what you did there... Cheers, Kermee |

AMD very strongly recommends uninstalling before updating.
This. +1 Cheers, Kermee |

GPU's: 4x5830's clocked to 960/300 How do you fit them all in the board? (PCI extenders?) Also do you have any cooling issues? They're not in a case. No extra fans on them but I am using spacers on them (Styrofoam peanuts from Newegg packaging). No cooling issues other than there's AC running in the room to 72F.

Great news, off to try it..
Drop your address off for a donation..
Donation not needed but: 1DCGkpwL1rgnMt4EQ3U1rBe1ZPDPSYyhEQ I'm just happy that AMD released a version of the Linux drivers which allows us to change settings outside of the BIOS limits. Seemed really odd they let us in Windows but not Linux... Cheers, Kermee |

Imagine my disappointment. I was hoping to find tons of deals on open-box 5830's...
Don't bet on it. Newegg still has the price of Open Box 5830's set higher than New Retail prices... N82E16814102878R
"shipping":"$7.87 Shipping","finalPrice":"153.99" Cheers, Kermee |

What's a typical PSU wattage that's suitable for x3 5830? Anyone?
I don't have an exact answer but maybe this info will help. My 'standard' 1.2+ GH/s rig configuration is: CPU: AMD Sempron 140 Board: MSI 890FXA-GD70 Memory: 1x2GB DDR3 (whatever speed; doesn't matter) GPU's: 4x5830's clocked to 960/300PSU: Corsair 950W Standard draw with Kill-A-Watt per rig is 650W, even with the 5830's OC'ed to 960/300.There's actually head-room to add one more 5830 for 5x5830's with the Corsair 950 if I used PCIe extenders. Hope this helps. I use an 8GB USB flash drive to run Ubuntu 11.04 headless using Catalyst 11.6 and phoenix 1.50. Cheers, Kermee |

I run 2 6950s and phoenix and I had some lockups until I changed the "aggression" flag to 7. I had it on 11. There was no drop in mhashes/second when I made the change and it's been running for awhile with no problems. Post if changing that fixes the problem so I can feel good that I helped someone in the newbie forum. lol  This. +1 Cheers, Kermee |

Corsair 950W should be plenty to run 4x5830 considering I have 4x5850's on a Corsair 850W right now with no issues.

Im getting ~96 Mhash/s on my new 2011 iMac (with a ATI 6970m GPU), using the Diablo GUI published in another thread here. Kind of disappointing low hash rate I think.
Is there reason to believe poclbm would give a higher hash rate?
Running guiminer on Bootcamp'ed Windows 7 x64 on a Mid-2010 iMac (ATI 5850M GPU), I was getting ~128 Mh/s. ATI 6970M should be at least 50% faster if not more. Just make sure you up the fans and keep GPU-z running to monitor GPU temps but at 98% load, my GPU's were around 68C. Cheers, Kermee |
