Am I Doing It Right?

[btceic]

So....

After lurking and then finally joining the forum here a month or so ago, I finally dove in and spent some cash and bought myself a starter rig.

8 Gigs of ram
3 Core AMD CPU
MSI MotherBoard
MSI twin frozr R7950
CoolerMaster 850 Watt PSU
CoolerMaster 932 HAF Tower

Below are my results so far:


My questions are:

Do the numbers look right?
What can I expect to achieve, will I manage to mine a single coin a month (combined)
Any suggestions on changes: cgminer related and or gpu related.

Thanks btceic

That seems to be very low output, I've done 750Mh/s using dual 6950 graphic cards (overclocked to 905Mhz and memory underclock to 765Mhz), this had at it's best time netted me 1BTC a week. Your setup doesn't even seem to be utilizing the graphics cards correctly if that figure is to be believed, what version of the AMD graphic drivers are you using? My suggestion is you download GPU-Z and post a screen shot.

I personally wouldn't have recommended having that much RAM personally unless you had another use for the computer, same with the processor, there's little need for more than a dual core as you won't be using any of that CPU for mining.

My idea of building a rig is to spend more time on grabbing parts of Ebay or trying to find people looking to make quick money selling off bits of their gaming rigs so they can get the latest gear.

Also, in my opinion a Linux rig is a lot nicer to run, but each to their own.

Increased intensity to 18, now getting close to 600KH/s, temp is stable at 60C

600 k/h each or 600 k/h total? those cards should each be sitting higher than 500.

is where the settings/speeds list is.

There is only one video card.  600Kh/s is good.

The total amount of hardware errors is not.

Restart your system to make sure windows has the drivers all set.

What is your cgminer startup flags?

Right...twin frozr as in the card...not twin frozrs.  that makes way more sense. My bad

Yeah, you do realise the difference between Kh/s and Mh/s right?

Switched to guiminer and it looks like I am making better progress.

yeah that looks more like what you should be getting
