Hey guys,
I have a machine happily hashing away in my garage.
It uses a 1250 W Seasonic X PSU.
Sometimes I get power drop outs for about 1 minute or so, so I was wondering what type of UPS should I use?
I live in Australia and the voltage here is about 230.
Thanks

How much for shipping to Melbourne, Australia. Post code: 3000

Make sure you have good range. Personally I prefer Cisco Small Business Routers, as they are designed to run 24/7 and usually have a great wifi range.
But if it all depends on money, pick one which CAN run 24/7. I've had my Cisco on for 8 months non-stop doing all the house's wifi + my mining machine.

Should work fine. I think the earthwatts are multirail though, so be careful. You might have power locked to rails that won't be available for your vid cards.
Got 2 5970, 2 5870, and 1 5850 (all reference) on a PSU with a single 860 watt 12v rail. Draws about 900 watts at the wall. It's only 83% efficient though, so probably still has some wiggle room.
How much mhash are you getting out of a 5970 and at what clock rate with what miner? I've got 3 5970s and 1 5870 on a 1.2kW Seasonic PSU. My 3 cards are clocked differently. @ 850 engine I get 400 mhash a core (GPU 1) @ 900 I get around 420 mhash a core (GPU 2) @1000 I get 470 mhash a core I've pushed one of my 5970s to 500 mhash a core but VRMs were in the high 90s and low 100s.

This thread seems interesting. Going to sub to this. Because I need a place to put all my GPUs after ASIC.

I have finally solved a block! Yay me  solo or pool? If he was solo, he would of only have 50 BTC as all he has done is 1 block. What a stupid question, isn't it obvious he's in a pool?

Hey guys, as the title says: What should I do with my GPUs when ASIC arrives? And I want to make money, I already have contributed enough to Folding@Home.
Cheers

We have decided to disable the site front end to lighten load while shares catch up. we are needing to catch up ~7M shares
Good to know your back on to it. Luckily you weren't on holidays, or are you still, when this started happening. (:

Wait are those the temps when your clocked at 600?
Because if that is, when your clocked at 900 the temps would be way higher.

I'm not sure about this, but in Windows I use any OC tool to set my voltages, then I use CGMiner to set my clocks.
Can you just try CGminer, press G for GPU Mangement, select GPU via ID (look at hash rates above to see which one is the card), then press M for Memory clock, and set 300.

It wasn't worth it mining for BTC 2 years ago either  Well I would of loved to be that guy that sold a pizza for 20k bitcoins.

Wait I don't understand this. I pay for example ozCoin PPS fee + your fee for insurance?
So I would be warning less with you than I would mining at OzCoin?

I was not aware that 1Gh/s was even possible on a 5970... That is just outrageous hashing power for an old card... Mine would only do about 700Mh/s a piece...  Yeah that 1Gh/s is pretty damn impressive.I just wish I could buy an HD5970 easily in UK (it's out of stock everywhere in UK) and reach those clocks (although I should factor in the cost of watercooling that monster as well). Impressive.I wonder what the power use is and what your PSU is rated at? As you'd need a pretty strong PSU to run that and a watercooler plus the rest of the system. PSU is a Seasonic X-1250. I'm thinking the system itself is pulling more than 1.2 kW from the PSU, but I don't have a watt meter to tell. It's a great PSU, everybody was recommending that over a Corsair AX1200. Also, I wasn't sure if the AX1200 could support 8 Pci-e cables, because it comes with 6 (as said on website), so that would limit me to 3 cards. While my SS has 8, so up to 4 cards. PCI-E power splitters and molex/sata > pci-e power adapters are your friend Sometimes it's just safer to use something which is designed for what you are going to do. And you obviously can have risks using to many power adapters, I think I saw one guy fry a molex adapter. But why economise a few bucks to risk any additional issues? I went out straight to a SS so I knew that I wouldn't have to touch the PSU again. And it's still there running 24/7 for 1 month do far.

I picked a bad few days to holiday with bad internet :/ A namecoind crashed causing a huge backlog of shares, this affected performance of the db server but also stats and block announces. I am still catching up after getting home. The team has done a great job of keeping things going in my absence. We have identified a few issues we need to work on  Thanks for the patience guys  Graet Hey I'm new to OzCoin, so this may be a stupid question, but will AUS Servers ever return? Thanks

Not sure if this helps, But I use SDK 2.1, and drivers 11.12 with 3 5970s and 1 5870 in a rig. (7 GPUs) I have not gotten any errors at all, or YET.
Make sure you don't install the actual SDK EXE installation, but extract it with WinRAR and only install the SDK MSI file. That got my hash rate up a bit.
Ah, ok, I shall do it this way instead then. Which .msi-file is it exactly? SDK_dev? I extracted "ATIStreamSDK_dev.msi" from "ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-vista-win7-64.exe" using WinRAR, installed it, saw my hash rate improve. If you have WinRAR just right click and choose extract to. Make sure all old drivers, SDK and other stuff have all been completely removed. Also if you can, just reformat. Or completely remove your drivers, and install 11.12 first.

Merged mining is basically a freeroll since it won't need more resource so do it if you like money.
Could I in any way receive less than mining bitcoin itself? Thanks

As the title says, which of the two offer more profit for myself.
I have a 3 GHash/s rig, and mine at OzCoin. So I can either Bitcoin mine (what I am doing now), or Merge Mine.
Which one offers more profit my end, or are they basically the same, eg some times merged pas more other times it pays less.
Cheers
