You've tried manually setting your fan speed right?
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80"
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80"
etc.
That sets it to 80%
Set it to 100% if you have to, your card is gonna fry at that temperature.
Have you underclocked the memory? That will should help.
I recently changed all of my 58xx series cards to run at 305 memory and the temperature dropped significantly.

That's the same voltage that AMD GPU Clock Tool sets the GPU to any time you move it off stock clock settings. I just got one of those $190 HIS 5870s from NewEgg and it seems pretty stable at 1050. Anything over that it starts getting a little shaky though. 1050 is good for around 460MH/s but I scaled it back to 1030MHz for stability.
That's exactly what I did with my HIS 5870s  I'm still giddy about getting my hands on such an awesome card for that cheap! |

With that hash rate:
Solo mining = degen gambler
Pool mining = steady grinder
If you want to gamble and hope for the big pay day, keep soloing.
If you want to get a more steady flow of coins, go with a pool.

These already came and I've got them running.
950/600, 80% fan
415Mh/s, 60C
I haven't tried pushing them any more since I don't want to play the reboot game right now.

Going solo with 6 Ghash is a big gamble.
Variance can be brutal, keep that in mind.

Man, seriously, before there where any pools over here in Australia, it's the only way I could get any decent mining done. It was driving me insane, with Hidemyass.com VPN the client install onto your machine, you connect authenticate to the closest server of theirs to the pool your mining at, seriously I wouldn't bother posting it unless I knew man. Just trying to help out
You are not helping anyone out. You are fishing for commissions. |

I have never seen cards come with molex to PCIe.
I've seen them every time I've opened up a new 5830, 5850, 5870 from various brands. |

I'm too lazy to dig up the thread, but this is apparently a driver bug. Just keep the affinity to 1 core. There is a work around here somewhere for it....
This. I tried very hard to fix this problem on my one windows rig. I ended up unlocking the second core of my Sempron processor so the rig would be usable as a desktop. If you have multiple cores/processors: 1. start the miners 2. go to the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) 3. in the processes tab right click each miner process and click "Set Affinity..." 4. put all of the miner processes on the same cpu |

Molex -> PCIe adapters. Your cards most likely came with some.

Thanks!
I was able to get two of these shortly after you started this thread.

Lack of sleep will do that  |

what are the pros and cons of trade hill vs bitcoin7?
TradeHill is the best to use right now IMO. I just withdrew the <$100 left in my MtGox account and it took forever to hit my Dwolla account (days opposed to hours from TradeHill). Don't leave large sums of money just sitting around without a purpose in ANY of these exchange sites. Bitcoin7 is high on my "we gonna scam you" radar. Anyone praising them is probably a shill. When they first started they refused to recognize glaring security holes. That was enough for me to avoid them for life. |

340w @ 0.0915 kWh running 24/7 should be:
Cost Per Hour: $0.031110
Cost Per Day: $0.746640
Cost Per Week: $5.226
Cost Per Month: $20.91
Cost Per Year: $271.78
Unless the calculator I used is wrong.

I'm pretty sure your calculation is way off.

Just another bitcoin miner |

If it's a dedicated mining rig try LinuxCoin ( http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7374.0). I've been using it for a while and haven't had any problems. You should be able to use 4 GPUs in windows. You can use 8 in linux. I'm running 3 cards without crossfire in a windows 7 x64 rig (2x5850+1x5830). Have you tried running without crossfire? |
|

Yes, I am sure that you will get better performance when mining if you disable crossfire.
Crossfiring = 1 cable going from card to card and an on/off switch in the settings. Nothing to lose sleep over. Play with it when you get them and see what works best.
Search this forum for posts mentioning the same brand/model card as the ones you're looking at and see what they're doing.
What OS are you going to run?

Yes you can crossfire two cards from different brands, but you don't need to for mining.
The cards should perform better if you don't crossfire them.
Be wary about the XFX cards, they are the cards I detest in my mining rigs. My XFX 5850s run much hotter than other brands I have and they were the worst when it came to overclocking. My asus and sapphire cards perform the best. Not sure about HIS, never had one.
