I'd rather give up a few percent and not have to sell my soul stealing other people's earnings 

Great, thanks.  I had a feeling it was about right, but always helps to get a second opinion.  Now if someone has an idea how to increase the BTC/day rate 5-10%, then I'll really be happy 

At the current difficulty level are you seeing about 1 BTC per day per 1.9 Gh/s?  Just wanted to sanity check my performance with others, knowing of course that there are variations in luck and other factors.  Presently only using arsbitcoin.com as my pool.

Hi-

I am looking to buy up to 160 BTC this weekend.  Is there anyone in Los Angeles who needs to sell their BTC?

Thanks.  poclbm has been faster for me than Diablo. If they update Diable for 2.5, then I'll have to give it another try.

I'll check out their official threads.

Has the 2.5 SDK introduced any new improvements that will lead to better mining performance?

Hi.  I still have both.  A guy in Singapore was going to buy them but then decided not to.

Because the price of BTC has been all over the map recently, I put the prices in dollars, but prefer payment in BTC.

That's a good point.  I'll mark it closed instead of failed.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and now it works.  Go figure 

I'm having a similar problem but on Windows.  I have a 6950 and a 5850.  I have a 1000W PSU.  Even with a dummy plug (tried several), the OS and Catalyst control center only see the card in the 0 slot.

 

Very nice.  Thank you! 

Ahh.  Thanks, that helps a lot!  I prefer VNC anyway.

I have a headless rig that uses Windows 7.  When I use remote desktop to access it, I cannot use the AMD Overdrive control panel and thus I cannot run it overclocked.  Is there a trick to getting it to work or I'm just out of luck?

 

Updated Both are now sold.  Lowered price.  Remaining board was the one used only once

I have two MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard to sell.  It's a great board, but I want to keep all of my rig's motherboards the same model, so I'm putting them up for sale.  One has only been used once.  The other has been used for about a month.  Both in excellent condition functionality and cosmetically.  Both come with original box, manual, accessories, etc.

Motherboard one month old :$155 in BTC

US ground shipping: 1.5 BTC

I just tried it today and found that when mining the CPU was at 100% (instead of ~3%).  Seems like other people are also having the issue too.

Thank you OP for this tool.  It's very helpful.

I have two rigs, both with the same cards - Gigabyte 6950 OC's.  Both are Ubuntu 11.04 with the 2.4 SDK and Catalyst 11.5 (IIRC).  One has only one GPU.  atitweak works perfectly on that rig.  I am able to go above the BIOS limit on the core (though can't underclock memory below the limit, which is ok).  On my other rig, which has two GPUs, but otherwise the same setup I get an error and cannot set the clocks. 

When I run this:

I get this output:

Any ideas? 

Ok, so I spent many hours last night trying to do the unlock.  Here is what I did

1) First I did the chewing gum mod (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1037522585) but adapted to the Gigabyte 6950 (http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148806).
2) The gum mod worked and allowed me to write to the bios
3) Used GPU-z to save stock bios image
4) Used RBE to edit the bios and unlock extra cores
5) Flashed bios back to the card
6) Rebooted
7) Result= no change in number of shaders

Tried again with Wizzard's script for modding the bios image, also no success

After reading in some other forums it appears that ATI/AMD have gotten annoyed that users can reflash and unlock more shaders.  Thus, they have started to laser cut connections to the extra shaders on the die, making it impossible to unlock.  This appears to apply to all recent dies.   

Thanks for your help guys, but it seems like my recently bought non-reference 6950's are unlockable.

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 for my mining rigs, but RBE is window only so I took a spare drive and installed Windows 7 to do this.  Tools used were GPU-z, Radeon BIOS Editor (RBE), ATIwinFlash, and Wizzard's mod script (sometimes works better than RBE)

This is a really good deal.  I'd buy at least 5 today but I don't get paid until Friday   

I posted a request on the NCIX forums to see if they would extend the offer until Friday.  If you're like me and can't order them today, might want to do a reply to my post on the NCIX forums and help get it noticed.  Worth a shot...

I'm going to try to unlock one of my 6950's.  Going from 366->400+ would be a nice boost, especially since it doesn't increase power consumption like OC'ing does.
