Wow that's pretty bad they must be juicing allot of electricity for little gain.

Not sure what brand those 7950 cards are but you can easily achieve 650 with a medium overclock and a bios flash for gigabyte cards to undervolt the cards which results in cooler temps and 220 watts per card.

F43

Thx. I Hope my Crad will work with the Gigabyte F43 BIOS

Don't try it or may brick your card .


ONLY try it with the GIGABYTE CARDS.


These cards come with a bios switch as well which means if something goes wrong you can switch it back to original bios.



do not try this unless its a gigabyte 7950 hd

[RheinPirat]

I have a Dual Bios on my Card ^^ Nothing can go wrong 

I flashed different versions. From XFX to Sapphire and Back to Club3D  Card still working 

[RheinPirat]

I flashed the BIOS on my Card. PC doesn't start with the Gigabyte BIOS  

I flashed the Club3D Bios and it work again

Wasn't the question about the best LTC pool and not about bios and temperatures and so on..

Anyway, I have to agree with the first responder. LTC.RU is by far the best LTC pool I was using so far. I had a lot of problems with other pools, whether disconnections, stales, hash rate fluctations and so on.
Ltcmine.ru was down for me only once since 1.april. Also there is no fee withdrawing from the pool.

Only thing I don't like with ltcmine.ru is the workers name. Unlike usual name.x they use name_x format of worker names.
