nice rig, clean install.  how many hashes?

It carries an average 3.3MH right now.

I have to say, the XFX 7970s I have are complete garbage. Nothing but problems and they're hashing at about 60-70% of what they're "supposed" to.

Thinking about getting rid of them and picking up some Sapphire R9 290x instead. We'll see if I can find em Tongue

so even with liberal spacing for airflow you cannot get the XFX 7970s to break 700khash?  hate xfx.

No, they're not overheating and there's no lack of power, that's a 1300 Watt PSU they're hooked up to.

Through some research I've found that 2 of my 7970s have an old BIOS on them that needs to be re-flashed. One of them seems to have the new version and I can get it to hash at ~700kh but the other ones drop to ~300 at those settings.

I'm not entirely sure that I am prepared to tackle reflashing my video cards because if I screw it up, my 450kh per card will go to 0 per card. Even though they aren't running optimally, they're still making some coin.

Looks to me like he is using 2 x Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4717#ov)

I might be wrong though.

Edit: Took a closer look and seems I was wrong. They are certainly not GA-970A-UD3P. More like GA-990FXA-UD3(http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4672#ov)

You guys are right. The MOBOs have been extremely reliable, I would recommend them for sure.
