[OOS] Brand new 5870s for $139.99 again

[CrazyGuy]

Mine came with the 101 bios, no problems managing clocks manually for mining but haven't tried gaming yet. Where did you guys get the 107 bios? The latest OEM bios is v103 on tech powerup

[sveetsnelda]

There's nothing wrong with the 101 BIOS as long as the chip is stable.  If it's running a 101 BIOS and is completely stable under load, you've got a very good chip.  If you need the 107 BIOS, I can send it your way.  I'm sure it's on TechPowerUp somewhere too.

If those are going to be running in your house and not a datacenter, that place will be a sauna I hope you have the wiring all up to spec!

It's 9.4 degrees Fahrenheit here (-12.55C) right now.  It's actually much warmer than it usually is this time of year.  I already have 13,200 watts running in the house and it's being cooled by 2 window box fans at their lowest settings.  How outrageous is that?  I have to turn one of the fans up a notch during the day though.  Needless to say, I'll hit a power limit before a thermal one.  I've built sub-panels myself to feed the rigs.  Each are back-fed with 20A breakers for each 2 plug outlet.  The first panel has been running for 4 months and hasn't burned down, so power should be good to go.  

After this though, I'll be using up two full 50A breakers (at 240V) for the sub-panels.  ...much further than this and I wont be able to turn the dryer and oven on at the same time.    I'll have to look at adding another service.

I was so upset when I finally saw this thread and they were already sold out.   

At least I was able to get 8 of the 5850's
