I've figure I still have a shot at 500 in btc. I mean going through me is cheaper then it would be to go through bit egg. I'm honestly surprised newegg got more. Until yesterday morning the price for a 5970 was 600 on any site. |

Ouch! Newegg is just killing sales for 5970s here. In stock, out of stock, in stock...
Yea I know. I was disapointed when I saw that :s Also I updated the price. Will you take $375?
no |

I like it but it looks really expensive lol. Plus there's no elevated holder for raised cards.

Thanks the fan is stated in the title =p Artic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus. Upgraded to Keep card cool so I would be able to push it more!
oh lol I'm an idiot.  I didn't see that. |

I also just realized that the 6770 is a single slot so that's worth every penny.

I have a MSI Twin FRZR II 6950 w/ the upgraded fan.
I will post a picture of it soon with my name if you want.
The shaders have been unlocked and I hit 400mhashs easily with it.
I have not used this all that long however.
I am not sure what these go for shipped. I do have the original box but not the fan.
The card does not fit in the original box because of the fan.
Please help me figure out a price on this!
Will take only BTC.
Price with Shipping around the US.
You need to at least say what fan you replaced it with and why you chose to replace it.  Pics should be mandatory for all posts especially with so many scammers lately (not saying you are one.) I assume you could get 200-240 but obviously this isn't an exact number. |

Going back to the OP's situation then, you still haven't proven anything. The OP hasn't even stated his electricity costs. Not to mention, you're still running on the (possibly false) assumption that he is running four cards per rig, or has other means/methods of lowering the rig electricity draw per card to 25 watts. Like I already pointed out, not everyone run rigs full of four cards each. And for those of us that do not, our electric costs will be higher because of it. So, without purchasing a new motherboard and more mining hardware, he very well could have no choice but to mine at $7 of electricity per BTC.
If you reread you will find that he said it costs him .22 euros or .29 usd. I said that is crazy expensive and I don't blame him. Please stop assuming and just read... And yet you're basing your "proven" $176 figure on $0.19/kwh... Like I said I was only proving that kokojie was pulling numbers out of his ass with out an explanation. At no point was he referencing the op's numbers. |

Drop your mem down to around 300-350 (unless you plan to use this as your main comp.) You can only get up to 960 core because why? Does it blue screen, does it crash the drivers, is the temp too hot? You need to be as specific as possible or you wont get the right advice.

I dont have a camera im at collage.
Majoring in english spelling? This made me laugh. No, Cyber Security.
Don't bull shit us. I'm a CS major and all my friends have a camera phone of some kind, and a laptop with a webcam in it. If you truly go to mit you have a camera or you know some one with one. To give you an example I live in an apartment with 4 guys and between us and our friends there's usually at least 12 computers in our house. |

So it is a month later now and I've found 5 blocks in total for deepbit... THATS 2 MORE BLOCKS IN ONE MONTH!
I found my first block the other day through btcguild. It took me over two months to find it and I'm currently running at 2.6 gigahash. |

I would like to direct your attention to this link: http://www.physics4kids.com/files/thermo_laws.htmlYes it's true. Heat does rise. Quite possibly the reason why basements are cold and dank.... which is also a problem. Basements are usually wet. All those pipes sweating and not alot of ventilation can play hell on any sort of electrical equipment, especially high end overclocked computers such as used for mining operations. Which also brings up why the rest of your post is garbage too, opening a window will do the same thing and the wild swings in humidity/temperature that happen frequently in more than half the world, are also not very good for sensitive high end electrical equipment. There is a reason why one of the most expensive things about professional large scale data-centers is the money spent on Climate Control. Your mining machines are no different. I don't have any specific names but I have heard multiple people saying they keep their machine in the basement and have no problems. As for the window you can easily get a humidity detector for cheap to make sure it doesn't go within dangerous levels. It's not like leaving a window open for one day will kill your machine instantly. |

God you're dense.
We're discussing how much it costs each individual to mine, not how much you COULD mine for. If we go that route, you may as well bring FPGA's into the equation. You COULD mine a whole heck of a lot cheaper with those.
For ME it costs ME $200 of electricity to generate 30 bitcoins. I've already explained why, and you can't argue with me. It is what it is. That's how much it costs. I'm not complaining, as you seem to imply, I am simply stating the true facts of my situation.
I'll stand with you when you say that it doesn't cost every miner $200 to mine 30 BTC, but I won't say that it doesn't cost any miner $200 BTC to mine 30 BTC, which you seem to be trying to imply.
I'm not saying that its impossible for it to cost $200 for 30 btc. I agree its possible especially when the op pays 29 cents per kwh. What I'm trying to point out is that a huge amount of people on this forum over exaggerate the cost of electricity. The first person I quoted I proved he could mine for less then $200 which was his example. My point is it's quite easy to lower your cost of electricity. I recognize in some cases (like yours) it may not be pleasant to do what I suggested but if your not willing to do such things you have no right to say that your paying too much in electricity. Before you start stating that I'm saying your complaining I'm just using your example as your the only one who was so specific. I don't think your complaining but I think alot of people are when they can clearly make their situation easier. The problem is once you joined the equation my point got father from what it was originally which was to prove that kokojie's example even for himself did not add up and he was wrong. I showed above that in reality he should only have to pay around $176 dollars and he has yet to give me any reason why he would have to pay more. |

No one cares about your electricity cost, or the average. I only care what my own cost is.
If you reread what I wrote I calculated your costs as well. I acknowledged 29 cents per kwh wasn't worth it (what he pays) but I pointed out that your "example" didn't add up at all and you were completely wrong. |

tell me if you guys fixed it.. Had same problem with this other pc... I narrowed it down to a psu or motherboard... eventually i just sold the psu since it was working and scraped the board and everything to a new rig.
I fixed it by replacing the mobo. No problems since. |

5850s are great cards, but its a problem with the gigabyte UD GPUs... they just over heat
I highly doubt this is going to sell any more any ways. |

I've got a 5850 with a rattly fan, if you want. Never gave me more than 299 MH/s. I'll check the make when I get home.
How come you never returned it? I assume you have some kind of warranty on it? |
