z77a-g45 can run 6 cards. If you want to run 7 card, there is not enough data out there to know what can run 7 cards, and any board that appears to run 7 cards will be very pricy.
Thanks! I think that is what I am going to get. 100 extra dollars for a board that may or may not be able to run an extra card just doesn't seem worth it. Can electrically install 6 gpus. Getting them to install in device manager is something else. Might get all 6 to work in linux but i dont do linux That is very helpful. One question though, exactly how hard is it to get all the cards working in device manager? I've had enough problems already with 4 cards on a mobo. |

Buying some cables. I'll let you all know how it goes when they get here.

Definitely will buy some. Do you have any 1x to 16x extenders though? I can only find ones from Hong Kong  I am importing 50 of them, they will not arrive for 5-10 days. Good to know! |

Yeah, that's mainly what I was wondering about.
They do have molex connectors by the slots, but I was planning on using powered risers anyways. I guess if there would be any issue it would be something on the board itself that would prevent me from being able to run the cards. If only someone with one of these boards could share their experiences, but most miners dont have LGA1155 systems.

When do you estimate the pool will go live?

For some reason my cards are performing very well on this pool. I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of miners, but I am getting less than 1% stales on all of my cards.

Mining there. How come the share difficulty is sooooo low?

That is difficult. A lot of people wouldn't be comfortable sending GPUs to a person they don't know.

Have you thought about mining Litecoin? Its 1.3x as profitable as BTC right now.

I'm assuming you spaced yours apart with riser cables right? Are you using the powered version? My motherboard has a sata plug that supposedly adds extra power to the pci-e bus. Won't even boot without it if you've got more than three cards in there. If I wanted to upgrade to a few extra cards would you recommend the powered versions? I wanted to try and run them all on the mobo, but since that isn't possible I might as well add more haha
Are you running the reference clock? If not what sort of clock are you running to get that hashrate? I'd be a bit dissapointed to learn that you were able to generate the same average per card hashrate as I do at a slower clock lol. I might just return these ghz editions and switch to reference cards.
Would I see a gain in hashrate moving to Linux? I assume that the gui kinda takes away from efficiency a bit, right?
Thanks for the post Mccminer!
Not sure about Linux, but I know that you would get a benefit from moving to CGminer. |

1500mhz on the core??? That is way too high. It may work fine when you are on your desktop, but when you put any load on the card (when you open chminer) the display driver crashes. You can use the GHz edition BIOS, but roll the clock speed down a little. You should be able to get higher speeds than the 925MHz the card came at, but you wont be able to get 1500MHz out of it.

You will be losing money by mining with those processors. They wont produce many coins, but they will cost you a lot in electricity.

Where can I find the going rate for feathercoin?
