Mhash/Watt for Complete Systems

[jjiimm_64]

I can't even get one rig stable with three 5970's and 2 seasonic gold 750watt joined with a lian li connector

Worse case scenario ... ebay the 2x 750 (or try these forums) and buy a single 1200W.  1000W is all you need but 1200W gives you the option to expand to 4x5970s.

a silverstone 1200 will NOT run 4 5970's overclocked to 820.  a seasonic 1250 will

Dat:
  in reference to the 10 gpus  it has 2 mobos and 2 operating systems..  . I read somewhere that solaris will load Xnumber of gpus?

my new rig(or is it 2 rigs joined by a common psu)  I will be easily able to do this..

it is 10x7970  3psu's  6790 Mh.  I will calculate the watts tonight.

Sounds like 1 PSU per mobo and a third for some of the cards. Good idea actually.

IT IS:

power  220V
Psu's   3 seasonic  2x1250 1x650
mobos  2
7970    10 (5 each mobo)

the 1250's are powering 4x7970 + mobo + hd
the 650 is powering 1 7970 on each mobo

#1 clocks  1143 volts   1162/685  core/mem
#2 clocks  1125 volts   1125/685  core/mem

Mhash #1  3453
Mhash #2  3340  

total 6790+  

uptime, 170k accepted shares..

The rig(s) are still up and stable, albiet running a little warm for my tastes (high 70's)

Care to share with us that magic solaris or whatever it is called server that does 10 GPUs in one mobo ? Pics would be nice  

Thanks !

There are 2 mobos, not 1....

jjiimm can you post core voltages at which you got these frequencies of your cards?
And what do you mean by high 70's? 78?

The volts are listed with the clocks..  1.143 and 1.125  Please do not take my volts as the 'optimum'  I do not follow a very scientific approach to arrive at these numbers..

Ah lol somehow i didnt see the voltages
Well if its stable then its good enough will try em out, what brand 7970 u got?

edit: Do you use pci-e extenders? With or without molexes?
Im asking cuz im waiting for extenders to setup 4x 7970 rigs, but i bought ones without molexes so i wonder if im gonna have to put them there myself..

I have never used powered ext. i do not think we need them anymore...  maybe with the older mobos?,  I always use extenders for cooling.

Ok then its all fine if you can run 5x7970 on extenders without molexes then i can do 4 with np I have asus sabertooth 990fx mobos with four pcie 16 slots, i guess it will work, if not i report here something got fried

I tried your volt/freq but for me it crashes, what manufacturer is your 7970, Sapphire (i got sapphires..) or something else ?

xfx will do pics
we should move this to the 7970 thread, this is for Mh/J

PSU?

[pazor]

5x 5850

2,06 MH/s / Watt -> 371MH/s @ 180Watt

[singular]

I will be using enermax platimax 1500W, i think 1 could take 5 cards, but for now it will be 4 per rig  because i didnt order pcie 1x to 16x extenders..

Well I measured amps & volts.  Remember the two legs of 240V circuit in US wiring are out of phase so to read current you need to clamp just one conductor. 

They make adapters like this:
http://www.service.kleintools.com/Marketing/Catalog_Imagery/69400_ICON.JPG

but I have the rigs connected to a PDU using C14 to C13 cables and I doubt anyone makes an adapter so I modified one power cable which I use for testing only.

Did you take power factor into account when you measured volts and amps separately?  I'm running at PF about .9 so maybe that caused the difference if you measured different ways for 120 vs 240.

I just spent some time optimizing one of my rigs -

890FXA-GD70
Sempron @ 1600mhz
Cooler Master 1000w 80+Gold
All mobo options disabled, USB drive/linuxcoin

3x 5970 + 1x 5870, undervolting & underclocking all the cards
2317Mh/s @ 880w - 2.63Mh/J (measured with kill-a-watt)

[JWU42]

Could optimize it a bit but for now it is...

"Kong"
Running BAMT

2x750 Seasonic Gold w/ Add2PSU
Asrock 970 Extreme4
Sempron 145
1 x 2GB DIMM
4GB USB Key
2 x 5970 (800/300)
2 x 5870 (970/300)
1 x 5770 (945/300)
2 x 120x38mm Delta Screaming Fans

2,580 MH/s - 1060W = 2.43Mh/W

If I remove the fans I get almost to my target of 2.5Mh/W.  I am sure I could look at under volting and cranking back to further improve efficiency Mh/J as well.  A project for the weekend.

Still tweaking just got on board with CGminer, next Linux USB drive, more cpu/gpu tweaking, and 240v.

Anyone know where to buy 250 VOLT NEMA 6-20R POWER STRIP?

http://www.internationalconfig.com/icc6.asp?item=61820
That doesn't cost $300? Looking at you DAT.

What I did was just wire a regular 20amp plug with 2 hots and a ground.

Thanks jimm was thinking the same but what about surge protection?
