1621  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Phoenix 2 Miner v2.0.0 on: May 07, 2012, 10:59:48 AM
I'm getting a weird problem that I've never seen before. I haven't changed any drivers or sdk or anything, it just started happening out of the blue.

Someone thought it might have something to do with bip16 or something to do with local block detection (?) and cgminer had this problem at some point?
I really dont know, i'm just posting what someone else though. Can I get a fix please? I'm mining on eligius.
The miner continues to submit "shares", but they are all rejected with the reject reason: stale-prevblk. when another LP hits, it doesnt spam anymore and it submits valid shares

I run this board with 6 GPUs in. I don't use powered risers, because the board as it's own PCI-E power connector:

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/990FXA-GD65.html

MSI sure seems to be the flavor of the year. Lots of great quality products without the extra flair and price tag (such as Asus). Even their Big Gang Xpower II product beats Asus Rampage in price and capabilities.

But yeah, I'll vouch for this board, even if I don't personally own it. Make sure to get a good deal on it.

The latest is not always the greatest.

I suggest using 11.12 or 12.1 driver for using 5xxx or 6xxx cards, and using 2.1 SDK for 5xxx cards and 2.4 or 2.5 for using 6xxx cards. Guiminer, and some other miners/frontends, will not detect 2.1 unless 2.4/2.5/2.6 (2.6 is not recommended, much slower) is also present. Verify your cards, SDK, and driver with GPU Caps viewer.

Wow, why are you using such high memory clocks? That is sucking a huge amount of electricity and causing you to have higher temperatures and losing money. Underclock your memory and stop using shitty 2.6 SDK. Use 2.1. I get 294 mhash @ 900/355 using 2.1 SDK.

i re-acquired some sapphire 5830's and I've been running them at 850/195 @ 1.063v, 128 worksize, ~285mhash each.  ambient temp is probably around 100oF.  the voltage drop dumped them from around 67-68oC to about 63oC



Hmm thats a full 8 mhash more than what I would project for 1120 SP's at 850MHz.. Whats your OS/driver/SDK/miner/kernel/settings?

Got a CF Setup with 5850, if i disable Crossfire, the second card will be disabled for mining.
So i thing it's recommendet to enable CF.

I have 2 multi GPU PC's mining, none of them use crossfire and they all mine fine.

350 for 2 Sapphire  hd5970,with shipping to Canada
let me know
now thats a lowball if I ever saw one. 175 per card = lol
1627  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Instruct card to wait between hashes on: May 05, 2012, 03:12:17 AM
the f argument for diablominer is pretty much what you want. A higher number = less hashes. it's effectively the "framerate" or the target for how many times/second a certain set of nonces are hashed. Lower framerate = more nonces per run = gpu works longer. Try a high number such as 240, or even higher until you are happy with your hashrate and gpu usage.

1629  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How do i use PPS and 1 GH/s to determine ⊅BTC earned? on: May 03, 2012, 08:00:28 PM
I asked the question, not to figure out how much I could make, which is the machines potential, but learn how much a pool is paying out at the time the calculation is done. A way to compare pools without having to go mine with them, as long as they make valid information available.
There can be a 10-15% difference between better paying pools and lower paying pools. If you didn't know this you might think you need to tweak your hardware more.

Wel if this is about ebtter paying pools, mine at Eligius. It's 0% fee and PPS. Don't even need to setup any logins or anything, just point your miners at http://<your address here>:x@mining.eligius.st:8337. Payout is automatically queued (not guaranteed immediately, but queued) around 0.67 BTC or a week after your last submitted share. Stats for your "login" can be seen at http://eligius.st/~artefact2/7/<your address here>. Mine as an example is http://eligius.st/~artefact2/7/1CxcPP8FVktppy4PHTYJKnZFqQeyZ3jArb . Any of the huge variances you may see is a result me manually adjusting GPU's clocks/volts to agree with the warming weather.
1630  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Does anyone have 1st hand experience in crossfiring a 58xx card with a 69xx? on: May 02, 2012, 11:56:20 PM
You cannot crossfire a 5xxx with a 6xxx. It is impossible. You can crossfire a 5xxx to a 5xxx and a 6xxx to a 6xxx though, but your speed will be limited to your slowest card times the number of cards in crossfire.
1631  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: sudden drop by 65mh/s on: May 02, 2012, 09:08:09 PM
12.3 had a bug which prevented some software from overclocking.
also make sure you are using sdk 2.1, its the fastest for 5xxx (2.4/2.5 is -ok-, dont use 2.6)
1632  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [FS] 3X Koolance VID-AR587 (5850/70 refrence) Waterblocks on: May 01, 2012, 04:17:24 AM
Bah. I use a 5870 in my gaming PC, and I'm currently troubleshooting SSD nonsense, which requires me to unplug the card to get to the SATA ports. That would really get troublesome with restrictive tubing, unless there is a way to unhook pieces within a loop without causing it to leak horribly.

Otherwise I would be interested Smiley
1633  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How do i use PPS and 1 GH/s to determine ⊅BTC earned? on: May 01, 2012, 04:02:28 AM
1 share ≈ 2^32 hashes or 4294.967296 megahashes
60*60*24 seconds in a day = 86,400 seconds/day
1010MH/sec = 87,264,000 Megahashes/day

Shares/day = (MHash/day) / (Megahashes/share)
Shares/day = 87264000 / 4294.967296
Shares/day ≈ 20317.73
Payout/day = 20317.73 * 0.00003 Bitcoins/share
Payout/day = 0.60953199 Bitcoins

Feel free to tip. Smiley

1634  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Odd 5870 mining problem on: May 01, 2012, 03:55:48 AM
Could very well be a bad "extender". I threw out all 8 of my PCI-E 16x>16x and 1x>16x because they would either not detect the card, or it would be intermittent. Too much bending broke some of the many solder points and I don't have any solder skills. Now I use 1x>1x with open-ended slot and pci-e presence pin short and they all work like a charm.
1635  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] XFX 5830 on: April 29, 2012, 07:17:05 AM
Still selling for 23 BTC! It didn't sell on Ebay, so I relisted for another few days. It's up for grabs if any of you gentleman want to take it off my hands.

It amazes me that they are selling for $115.  I've bought all of mine for $70-80.  Props to you man.

Source?  Grin
I have no clue how to "properly" bid on ebay with automated snipes. I was looking at $0.075 per SP (means a 5750 for $54, 5870 for $120, etc) shipped, and I'm just blanket bidding on everything on ebay.

I also don't exactly have a deep wallet as I'm just a lowly grocery store clerk working part time. 2.5 Ghash have supplemented my income substantially.
1636  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: [Help] New HD7850x2 cannot mine at 100% on: April 29, 2012, 05:43:56 AM
Can also try a significantly lower f number. A higher f number means more responsiveness of the desktop at the cost of less GPU time dedicated to actual mining. A lower f number will enforce "bigger" nonce ranges per kernel run, causing more desktop lag but more dedicated gpu time to mining. You can think of f as the framerate, but a lower framerate means better mhash.

I'm super jelly that he can just use fresh cold tap water to cool everything instead of us normal people that need to screw around with a radiator, a pump, and a reservoir. Must be soooooo nice having free water. Dont even need air conditioning! All the heat goes down the drain!
1638  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: How low should I clock my memory? (7970 detailed performance inside) on: April 28, 2012, 01:15:14 AM
I think Trixx was a no go.  I think this is because I could not figure out where to set it to allow unofficial overclocking modes.

 I also couldn't even find a way to adjust voltage.  Just a +- percent power slider.

Trixx sucks

Are you sure you used 4.3.0? I can go to 2GHz+ or lower than 100MHz on my 5870 on core, and the same for memory. My volts can also go from 450mv to 1300mv. If you are maxing/minning a specific gpu/memory clock, just hit apply and the slider should make room to go even lower/higher. There are no "hidden" settings or config or anything like that. You just set and go.

Your CPU and mobo is incompatible. Socket FM1 is only for the APU's (a4/a6/a8) that have integrated gpu. You need an AM3/AM3+ socket mobo or a socket FM1 APU.

Your card is in UVD mode, which automatically enables when you are using your hardware to decode video. This includes almost any flash popup on websites (youtube, newsground games, etc). Close your browsers and videos or disable hardware acceleration.
