I'm not too familiar with the 57xx series. Have you tried any of the overclocking programs or are you just running the card with the stock speeds?
Do you have other programs running on your computer when you're running the mining software? Make sure you have everything else closed when you try it.

Did you try upping the AGGRESSION to 8 10 or 12?

Your motherboard only has 2 slots to fit those 3 video cards, unless you want to use extender cables.

How about linux virtualization?
I'd like to do that because some nontrivial fine motor disability makes me use voice recognition software.
I use cygwin all the time to maintain remote servers.
I just wonder if I'll get the eight GPU benefit of linux in virtualization.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
If you're talking about a Linux virtual machine, no. The OS and drivers must have direct access to the video cards, not through a virtualization layer. |

Interesting! I may check the pool script that you have but for the mean time, is that constant: the rpc allow ip setting at 10.10.10.10 etc.? I have around 1,500 Mhash/s and wanted to try solo mining.  rpc allow setting is to specify which clients to allow to connect. Most people's home networks are private networks (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) addresses, so yes. |

@grndzero first board is what I have @home  Seems like I have to do the cooling thing within the two slots per graphics. Either get a case that has fans (more than 1) blowing air toward the fan intakes of the cards or rig/lay some 1 or 2 120mm or 140mm fans so they are on top of the cards and push air down between them. |

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this, but I think of building a mining rig with most possible hash/s.
my new mb (MSI 980FXA-GD70) can take up to four PCIe16 graphics boards.
Problem is there is no space between these cards.
Any chance I can handle three or four graphics without water cooing?
Two should be no problem, because there is space for the GPUfans to work.
Mine is handling 4 cards. They need spacers to open up the width between cards a bit, fans cranked all the way up and another case fan or 2 above them blowing air down between the cards. And with all the fans running it is very loud with lots of annoying fan noise! |

grndzero : i just donated the free 4 Bcents i got 2 days ago when registering to you cause u sir are wonderfull . been cracking my head with the same issues with the thread starter and u came to my rescue . Thanks alot again for your great help. I know the 0.04 are not much but i hope u can see the gesture The gesture is appreciated. Every little bit helps to getting me back to profitable after reinvesting my earning so far. I spend all kinds of time on Newegg and the net looking for ways to make all different types of miners, the least expensive, the fully loaded, the modular, the best upgradeable. Now if I had enough money to buy any of them it would be even better. lol |

1.44 Gh/s 820Watts .092 KW/hr
(1 440 * 233) / (.820 * .092) = 4 447 507.95
So I'm good until the difficulty reaches 4,447,507.95 ?

Yup I just saw his tread and in fact I'm pretty interested in his idea of starting a business revolving around Bitcoin in the region. I'm very close to Malaysia . Thanks for the reply. I was quite knocked out yesterday haha. Anyway. the Foxconn MOBO would be the first I saw? The $45 one that I first mentioned? Yes |
|
|

hmm which MOBO are u guys talking about? The cheapass one? Cuz I'm trying to drive down the investment for the rig. other than the gfx card. which I already planned on investing in the first place. The rest of the stuff I wanna get as cheap as possible.
My question now is how many PCIe should I try to get cuz I could expand with maybe 5850s for the rig. but is it worth the increase cost of the MOBO and PSU or is it just cheaper to get another cheapass rig
Yes, he said the Foxconn board will support Sempron processors. A more expensive board and better power supply up front will always be less expensive than another board, cpu, ram, power supply, and possibly another case to build another rig later. |

Pool is back up. I have an idea of what may have caused it.
I also added a watchdog monitor to the pool processes, and added the pool & bitcoind processes as startup scripts so the server should auto recover in less than 20 seconds if it does happen again.
Not sure about yours but my cron is set to run cron.daily at 0625. Something in the cron process freaking out the system? Was it a fresh install when you moved to the new hardware, or did you copy the current system across? Maybe looking for something that's not there anymore or moved? |

pool down again :<
[21/05/2011 06:42:52] LP: New work pushed [21/05/2011 06:43:04] Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle [21/05/2011 06:43:22] Disconnected from server for tracking purposes. Time is GMT-7 It appears the pool is down for everybody... Happened about this time yesterday too. Yeah and he didn't have time to debug it yesterday. That's why I posted the log so he would have an idea where to start looking to find out what was going on with the system at that time. |
