Will someone Help me Real Quick? first mining rig

[DarkKnightNomeD]

I Built our first miner with  some Computer with Parts my Brother Ordered like 2 weeks ago

anyway he ordered 2 5850's like i told him

Gigabyte, I currently have 2 crossfire cables connected to each other, i mean, the ones that come with Each Computer, they are currently on, not sure if im supposed to put one or put both??

anyway

the first Video card works fine, getting 270+ mhashes NOT overclocked or anything, everything is base

anyway, the second card is giving a Unusual Behavior in OPEN CL

i have cata drivers 11.4

i also have a second monitor hooked up to the second card just in case

so what would be the problem

also its only seeming to read only 1 vid card

Your phrasing is very confusing. You have 2 5850s, does windows(?) detect them both or only 1? If it detects them both what do you mean "unusual behavior in openCL"?

As far as mining goes you don't need the crossfire cable btw.

[DarkKnightNomeD]

ok just found this out

its showing as DISABLED, maybe i gota go into BIOS

[bitlackey]

plugin a monitor to the 2nd card

[DarkKnightNomeD]

i do have a second monitor plugged into second card and its on

sorry I looked over that, did you set it up as an extended display?

[DarkKnightNomeD]

let me do that, ill reply in a sec

[DarkKnightNomeD]

yes i did, and its working

[DarkKnightNomeD]

ok this is fking wierd

i just noticed just now

in my ATI OVERDRIVE / Overclock settings, its showing it as 137 herts and 300 memory, its like Super underclocked

[Nilarium]

cards always use low freqency in 2d (windows)
its ok.

[DarkKnightNomeD]

noo i dont think so, usually the frequencys are 700 and 1200+

and its 150 and 300

[DarkKnightNomeD]

im starting to think i have the WRONG DRIVERS

[sead]

i am a mining newb too - but are you should not use crossfire on opencl/cal computations

fe.

happy computing

[DarkKnightNomeD]

i just removed the crossfire's

i just installed catalyst 11.5

for some FREAKING reason

my Clocking and Memory, will be normal 700 and 1200 whatever

then it will jump to 150 and 300 for no freaking reason

mine does this too when i'm not mining...no idea why

Do yourself a favour, download MSI Afterburner and use that to set the clock/fan settings.  Kill the CCC.exe process or your miner will crash often.

MSI afterburner FTW

i feel asleep last night

the problem i had last night was that the Computer would RESTART whlie Mining for 5 to 15 minutes

Use MSI Afterburner and keep an eye on the temps.  HWMonitor is good to monitor temps too.

What clock are the cards set at?

What temp are they running at?

the problem i had last night was that the Computer would RESTART whlie Mining for 5 to 15 minutes

the issue maybe due to a single or a combination of following:
a) too much overclocking
b) overheating
c) not enough power

i just found this out, my second video card will not overclock infact that S.O.B. will not even Default Clock

its Underclocking itself, and i cant stop it

i used ati trays, i used msi afterburner, its staying at 157  cpu mhz and 300 memory mhz
