Unfortunately, I'm using my Xpower II in my main PC.  |

Did you ever try shorting PCI-E presence pins?

So far the best I found (and bought) was the MSI Z77A-G45, which has 7 PCI-E slots. Unfortunately, when it comes to the 2 PCI-E 1x slots that are by each other, if you put a card in one of the slots, the adacent slot turns off, so it is essentially a 6 slot board.

After a year of running 5x 6950s, with the cards powered off of an OCZ 1250w and the mobo/cpu off a CM 500w, the ASUS P5N-T Deluxe refused to boot. Then I found this:  Obviously 5 cards was too much power draw from the 5 un-powered PCIe x1 ribbon cables. I have some spare 4-pin molex connectors, is there a mod that'll let me connect power to the PCIe x1 riser cables? I also have an identical board that was DOA, so I'll be re-sodering the 24pin ATX socket this weekend, but I'd like to make sure it doesn't happen again too. is a good you tube video how you can prevent this happening on motherboards with out added molex connectors to supply 12v power to the PCIe lanes. You say it doesn't require adding molex, but that device is opposite what you said; it requires using an extra molex. It's just a "neater" way of adding a molex to supply extra 12v power. Unfortunately, it requires using an extra pci-e slot and some of us don't have extra pci-e slots (we're mining on all of them) |

For what it's worth, loadrs2009 is an illegal botnet owner. It became blatantly obvious when his program was named "scvhosts".

0% stale? I'd like to know what pool you're mining at please.

looks like you're cpu mining, not gpu mining. get your drivers and opencl installed correctly. also maybe you're litecoin mining, not bitcoin mining

You're pretty much fucked. Almost no 5970 are under warranty anymore, and if you manage to get one to send in, you'll likely get a 7970 back. Either mine the card into the ground at whatever settings you can get it stable at or resell on ebay and pass it on to the next poor sap.

Buyer beware, PSU is not 80plus certified, and mentioned only 80% efficiency. If you are concerned about electricity, look for an 80plus silver/gold/platinum, but if you need to power cards immediately because of bitcoin rallymode, then buy it quick!

Wait, you recently mined a complete block from cpu mining?
You should play the lottery, because with luck like that, you would be a millionaire in no time.

I'm sorry, but some of these scammer threads are really amusing. I /popcorn'd at the pictures.

I have an ASUS reference model 5870 I bought new last February. It makes a clicking sound when running, and the noise gets louder and faster as the fan speed increases. I think a fan bearing is just loose or broken; it might need a new fan. Other than that it works and hashes fine; I had it overclocked and got up to 425 mh/s. I'm asking $100.

I have 4 5970's in a single rig, which is 8 GPU's. Uses approximately 1040 watts at the wall, using a single PSU (rosewill lightning 1300W. 80plus gold). Using Windows 7 x64, driver 11.12, sdk 2.1, bfgminer 2.7.4, phatk kernel, vectors 2, worksize 128, 10 intensity. Having no problems once I weeded out the bad riser and found one of the GPU's doesn't like a certain memory range. Core speed of each GPU is fine tuned and maxxed, any higher and it causes driver resets. If you're looking for a picture of the physical rig itself, it is the one in the lower right in the second picture.   |

I want four of these in quad SLI. Because Crysis.
*orders dilithium crystals for antimatter PSU*
1) These (and other previous gual-GPU cards) only have 1 CF connector. Means only 2 cards (4 GPUs) in a system. 2) How were you planning to fit 4 seperate triple-slot cards into any case? You'd need a 11 PCIe motherboard, which they don't make. Uh,not quadcrossfire,but OCTOcrossfire (2 cores per card=8),if you meant 4 cards  Extendo PCIE cables will get them hooked up,but the OS using them all could be a problem Again, you can't do an OCTOcrossfire setup. The cards only physically have 1 CF cable connector! What about hextuple? 7990 > 7970 > 7970 > 7990 |

Can your mining rigs do this? sorry could not help myself.  broken links |

Same or different intensity? Also you running a monitor off 1st card?

Using 6 single GPU cards on a MSI Z77A-G45 on Win7 x64, 11.12 drivers, 2.1 SDK. Would have 7 but the board turns off a 1x slot if the adjacent 1x slot is populated.

I put the thermal pad on the heatsink (press a little bit with your finger while it still has the plastic on it, but dont mush it) and put a dot of -really good- thermal paste on the hotspots to ensure a good contact. I only did this because I didn't have much faith that the 0.50mm sheet would be thick enough.

If you want to use a slower kernel or SDK, then that's your prerogative.  In the meantime, I will use what I know is fastest. |
