2421  Economy / Goods / Re: Reference fan for Radeon video cards $17.99 + 99 US shipping in BTC two $31.98 on: February 09, 2012, 10:34:49 PM


when I put the thing back together the shroud is pressing against the fan and the fan cant spin, like the fan is just a half millimeter to big ,

I sent you an email about this before, I just assumed it was the wrong part the part numbers are different from the fans you sell and the fans that come out of the gpu

if I am doing something wrong putting it back together or something I would love for that to be the case but I dont see how it could be.
 
what do you think?

It is possible that you got it a little wrong.  These are the same fans 5970 5870 for a whole bunch of reference boards used in mining. 

There really are a lot of screws involved in this repair, and something may be not fully tight.

can you get your hands on some reference fans that will fit 5870? because these fans do not unfortunately Sad

What problem did you have?  They have fit for more then one of my customers on a reference 5870.

Ok, now I have more fans in stock!  I added a discount for four fans, shipped USA turns into $60.99 in BTC.

I wish bitcoin was more established.........   I am NOT saying to avoid sanctions due to their nuclear program.. and I do NOT want this to be a political statement...

But now the Iranians have to load up a freighter filled with Gold, and ship it across the planet to Australia,  then the Australians load up a freighter and ship grain to Iran.

However if bitcoins were established,  the Iranians would just hit the send button,  and the Australians would ship.

From my understanding the sanctions apply to the US dollar currency and their central bank....  so doing it that way wouldn't violate the sanctions.  

for my political speech,  I never think banning food imports is ethical...  you punish the parents and children and not the government.





That container ship will not be filled with yellow gold.  I it will be filled by black gold.   Cheesy

Gavin is the right guy to lead the team.  "herding cats" is not an easy task.

Developers are free to make their own lightweight or mobile clients, which are also needed in the bitcoin world.

As a significant shareholder, I disagree. If Bitcoin was a company and had a board, I would of asked for Gavin's resignation long ago.


Fund it yourself then!  It is a known standard, go at it.

Cryptoexchange does not require a cash deposit?

I don't exactly remember by brain fart, but at some point, it said "or deposit your funds via your online banking account". I was busy at the time and figured it would save me a trip to the bank. Then I vaguely remember thinking "Where do I put my reference #" before clicking submit. After that, I knew I was going to have some problems getting the deposit credited. I did not think I was going to have my communications to recover the deposit put off however.

I figure they need to wait a LONG TIME to have your check clear 100%.  Otherwise people could deposit bad checks (fake checks, NSF checks, stop payment checks etc), and get bitcoins for them.

Occcu is just plain silly.   If for some reason people started to use it, they would have a huge problem with people registering multiple (hundreds??) of accounts for free money.  It would not be rare so it would become worthless (just like it is now).

It's a shame, I bought 8 of the 1gb and they have been rock solid for me mining at 950 on air with memclock 160.

One has a fan issue that won't allow me to manually control the fan but i fixed that with some creative extra fan positioning.

Anyway, must have gotten lucky, but 2gb will suck with extra power consumption.

I bought two and they were ok.  Both had bent brackets.  Of all of the cards I have purchased, these were the only ones that were substandard.  With the higher price and higher power usage due to the ram, it is really not worth it.

Go $99 and I have one.  Shipped
2431  Economy / Goods / Re: [sold] 3x Diamond 5970 new oem $410 shipped USA on: February 07, 2012, 02:53:51 AM
im guessing that these cards are from newegg?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103195

$80 cheaper than what your selling for.....

also these cards have a bad rep if they are from newegg read here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54617.0

They sold out.  So maybe the price was about right?

The 5970 is a very reliable card.   90% of them, including these ones, are reference designs and are identical. 

Now what happens to the 5970 more often then other cards is they are damaged by overclocking.  Putting two GPU's in a small space creates heat.  Now from the factory, even ran 24x7 with proper cooling, they still are very reliable.  You could probably run them for three years standard clocks, standard settings (like auto fan control).  Add in overclocking and tweaking and everything changes.  They overheat and dry out their thermal paste.  Some run the fans maxed out which takes down their life dramatically.

It is very simple, treat them right and they will keep running.

This is an appalling presentation on many levels. It betrays what I can only describe as a very restricted world view, taking into consideration a narrow and blinkered perspective. It’s useful as a sounding board for people with a better understanding of the topic, and so I welcome it as a springboard.

This shows a serious problem with the Bitcoin community.  Someone posts something (even someone from the Bitcoin community in this case) that is not 100% positive or an ad for bitcoin and they get jumped all over.  The presentation was not FUD, or if it is, we have reinterpreted FUD to be anything we do not like.  

I watched the presentation (mostly because of this post, not the original post on bitcoinmedia.com) and have found it to be reasonable and mostly interpreting results of a poll taken here on this board.  It is certainly not 'appalling' as the quoted person has said.  She has opinions but is mostly responding an interpreting a bunch of other peoples views.

Yea.  Bitcoin only at this price.
2435  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: PCIE risers on: February 06, 2012, 03:43:32 AM
There are so many factors in needing molex or not.  One is overclocking.  If you overclock you can be drawing more then the rated power per card and that certainly changes things. 

If you use no x1 to x16 adapters (in other words only put x16 cards in x16 slots), AND none of your cards are dual GPU AND do not overclock you should not need molex. 

If you start using x1 to x16 and your cards are dual GPU you should use molex.  It may work, but you are probably over limit for the design. 
2436  Economy / Goods / Re: WTB 5830/50/70 today on: February 05, 2012, 03:38:47 PM
If you are in the USA, $99 shipped for a boxed one.

For one yes.   Smiley  Certainly not for two. 

Uhhhhhh, what ?

Canada, the big hat of the USA...

Separated by nothing ?

You must be thinking of a diff country

I would ship both to Canada for $220 in a large flat rate box (costs me $40).

I've got btc and would consider $150 in btc for both.

I would rather put it in a friends PC at cut a 50/50 deal.  This thing makes $30 a month on stock clocks.  

2440  Economy / Goods / Re: XFX 5830 video card complete boxed $99 in BTC shipped USA on: February 05, 2012, 03:35:02 AM
I'll take both of them...but I only have Paypal...I don't have that many coins
No paypal, if I was going to take that, I would sell it on ebay where the lowest buy it now is $120.
