I would really like to get rid of my Intel 320 300GB SSD. I RMA'd one I bought in July 2011 and I just put in my rig 2 days ago to check the new one. It works perfectly and still has over 4 years left on the warranty. I'm open to any offers you guys have.

I really like to keep mine under 70C but over is still safe. Just for long term stability I like under 70. But with that high of a fan speed that must be loud! I sleep in the same room as my rig so I need mine quiet.

Close afterburner and open it again. That will let you drop your memory to 300. I found 300 to give best Mhash/s results!
Also your temps are high for that fan speed! Those temps are fine for the card but it seems at that fan speed they should be lower.
Yeah I find that pretty weird myself that this all is very high...i tried to restart afterburner and drop it to 300, but did not work unfortunately. I'll be at 500 i guess ^^ Very, very strange. Never heard of that happening. Sorry you can't get 300  but what can you do! Best of luck to you! |

Wow my 6870 at 45% fan peaks at 58C with 950 core and 300 memory!

If it only gives you those options then yeah you only have 1 GPU. As for the 190-200 Mhash/s, that could be better depending on what 6800 series it is. I easily get 310+ Mhash/s out of my 6870. Best drivers for your card are the 11.11 with SDK 2.5. If you have newer than that (11.12/12.1/12.2) then you will see significantly less Mhash/s. I also suggest lowering the memory speed on your card to get temperatures down. Without doing that temps can get pretty hot.
Thank you for the advice. I'm not exactly sure but i think i have the 6850...what tool would i be able to use to see the temperature and tone down the memory speed? Try this. http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htmClick on "Download the Lastest MSI Afterburner Beta," the second one down on the far left hand column. It's an overclocking tool that you can use to adjust your core and memory clock speeds, your voltage, and your fans. It also lets you monitor the temperature of each card. Be careful not to overclock your card too much and definitely don't over-volt it if you aren't sure of what you're doing. Drop the memory clock speeds to around 300 if you can. Keep your temperatures around 70-75C or lower at all times (lower is much much better). I haven't tried the beta yet. Is it pretty stable? Also I have a rig that has a 5870 and a 6870 in it and, with the non-beta version I have, I have to adjust my 6870 first then my 5870. If I do it in reverse order my 6870 gets bumped back to stock settings! No clue why but do you think the beta would fix this? |

As long as they are only mining it should work fine but keep in mind that if you lose connection at all it will stop your mining. I suggest just keeping an eye on it and check your data regularly for the first month. It should work fine but better be safe than sorry!

I would also be willing to do a trade for some GPU's if you have any. I'm looking to expand my mining operation. I would give you a very good deal on a trade but as for straight cash I will stick pretty firm  . |

Thanks for your interest in it. I just can't sell it for that. Also I'd like to say I shipped this drive to Intel and they sent the new one back with next day shipping! They have a wonderful RMA process and you don't even have to call them. I just did live chat. I will go down to 85 BTC.

Haha thanks but I can't let it go anywhere near that. Keep in mind you still have a more than 4 year warranty  . I'm looking somewhere closer 90 BTC. |

You should have no problem staying under that limit. Mining uses barely any bandwidth. Although why do run your rigs off 4g?

I bought this drive in July 2011 and it came with a five year warranty from Intel. I'm not sure what a fair used price for this is but it comes with all original accessories and box.

Sorry for not being clear but yes I'm sure it's not stable at 1.175V. I'm using MSI Afterburner and I have no problem over clocking either card but anything under the stock speeds isn't stable.

During the day I run these settings on my 5870 + 6870 Rig:
5870 - 900/300 @ stock voltage (67C) 50% fan - 403.1 MHash/s
6870 - 950/300 @ stock voltage (58C) 45% fan - 299.0 MHash/s
But at night it is very loud as I sleep in the same room as the rig so I am trying to lower it to these settings:
5870 - 700/300 @ 1.000V (57C) 30% fan - 312.6 MHash/s
6870 - 750/300 @ 1.000V (54C) 25% fan - 237.5 MHash/s
It runs stable for about 3 minutes then GPU load goes down to 0-30% for about 30 seconds then back up to 99% for a while then wildly fluctuates. It keeps doing this on both cards and at the same time. I have tried to raise the voltage (which doesn't help), but that kind of defeats the purpose as I want to keep it as quiet as possible and not raise fan speeds. Ironically I can get them to run stable far above their stock speeds but not lower. Is there something I'm missing? Is this an obvious thing that I'm overlooking? Any help is greatly appreciated!
