121  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: WTB BTC with MPAK - 250.00 Mpak and references. on: May 21, 2013, 07:28:30 PM
Hey I am looking for 400 dollars worth of money paks so I would be able to trade with you. I don't have trade references per say on the forum but feel free to contact OneMiner in the litecoin freenode IRC I have bought items for him and shipped them directly to him before even receiving money. I also now am performing a second transaction for him right now where he has sent me over the money already and I am ordering some stuff off newegg for him. Let me know if that is enough trade information.

I know the topic name sounds insane but seriously I was just setting up my forth rig and I had a 7950 that I had tested in one of my test machines. The machine had been off for about a week now and the GPU was just sitting there. When I got the GPU out of the machine the image below is what I found... I have NEVER seen anything like this? Any idea what the hell caused this ? When I got the card out of the machine I looked at it and it was completely twisted because the top plastic case piece was still screwed on so the card was twisted to all hell also. It appears that the copper heatpipe/sink exploded like a balloon but I have never in my life seen something like this happen.



That is pretty rare.  The heatpipes contain water and should be good past 120C degrees.  I would imagine multiple failures would be required for the heatpipe to burst such as:

1) fan dies
2) high temp shutoff fails
3) temp passes 130C
4) heatpipe bursts





Thank you for your reply...

What I was beyond confused about is that the computer had been off... The room itself had gotten to about 95 degrees with the other machines but that specific one had been off. I didn't even know that the heat pipe contains water so I guess you learn something new everyday eh?

Hey Guy's so I was asked to post my rig on the IRC by a few members so I decided to post one of the earlier pictures and then when I get home I will post the newest one showing the 4x 7950's hanging and going. I have 4 of these rigs stacked in a 4x square. These are just the standard plastic coated wire racks that you would have in a kids bedroom. I believe I spent about 15 dollars for a huge box of them?



This is the output currently with the 4x 7950 only issue is I am getting a dead gpu state on some of the GPU's after a while. Looking into why.

- Power Supply - Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold (SPG) 1200 Watts Modular Power Supply - $219.98

Total Cost before cards - $408.93 - Free shipping

I will post the remaining pictures when I get home showing how I have the 4 cards suspended. The cool thing is about these cubes is you can actually turn the card sideways and then back straight and it will lock into the little individual square holes on the side so you don't even have to zip tie or support the cards. I then just have each power cable coming through the top and that helps support the other end. I only use the cheap little twist tie incase the card gets jiggled so it doesn't fall down.

Any questions or request for pictures let me know and I will gladly go into more detail.

+1 on this working. You can also do this on Windows Azure but I believe they require more accurate information.

Hey guys I am normally in the IRC on freenode #litecoin or #bitcoin I would like to be able to post/pm members for different reasons and also start posting my findings for my 7970 and 7950 rigs. If I could get out of here that would be wonderful. Either way I am going to post a picture of my rig in the newbie forum to get it started.
