Hey every,
I too... am a Newb. haha, but i'm excited to be apart of this.
Long story short, I've set up a GPU miner with some spare parts. It's been about a week of trial and error and I think i have it running. Well... 50% running.
I'm running:
Windows 7
GUIminer (solo) Averaging 275 Mhash/s
MSI Afterburner
ATI Saphire 5970 @ Core Clock 900Mhz Core Volt 1175 Memory 650 Fan 55% Temp 71
Unfortunately, after all of the software changes I had to do... from one driver version to the next (currently ATI catalyst 11.12) and installing Windows 7, it seems I can only get one GPU to work on the 5970. While in GUIminer, I have three options under devices.... [0-0] Cypress, [0-1] Cypress, [0-2] Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. Right now i've got one miner going with [0-0] Cypress and the CPU Affinity 0 & 1 checked off. As soon as I either de-select one of the CPU Affinities or start a new miner with a different device (example using [0-1] Cypress), the Mhash/s rate drops dramatically! Sometimes into the Khas/s zone. Whats going on here? Can anyone help? I'm mining solo.
Thanks!
