What are the towels doing under the front table legs?

wherever you go, always take a towel.

Remove the crossfire connectors

CGMiner 2.11.4
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Catalyst 13.3 with included SDK
MSI Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 8 (Easily allows unofficial overclocking)

Im running the same now.. besides Win 7 home prem

Code:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://ltc.nushor.net:8998 -u scape373.1 -p x -g 2 -I 13 --shaders 2048 -w 256 

But im getting massive HW errors.. Meh...

Setup afterburner as such:


Set your clocks, close afterburner, and CCC. Leaving afterburner open for me causes the hash rate to immediately drop and cause weird GPU usage issues. Open cgminer folder, delete config file, and scrypt binary file. The binary file will be named something like: scrypt130302Tahitiglg2tc10240w256l4.bin . Start cgminer with the command line you used above:

Code:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://ltc.nushor.net:8998 -u scape373.1 -p x -g 2 -I 13 --shaders 2048 -w 256 

Press S and W to write a new config file. Close cgminer, open the new config, and edit it for your pool information, fan settings, etc... I've done this with 3 rigs, that each use different GPUs, motherboards, etc... and all of the 7970s, but one get 720 KH/S. The one that doesn't overheats so I have it turned down to 550 KH/s. I've also used the same method on 4x Tahiti based 7870s, but they are a little whacky.

EDIT: My desktop I am using now:

GPU1 is my display card and I turn it down sometimes depending on what I am doing.

NEVER use a SATA to PCIe connector - don't know who the hell thought of that idea but that is just asking for a problem since the SATA connectors were never designed to deliver that much power.

How much power is SATA cable rated for?
I have 5830's that's undervolted, and was thinking of using SATA to PCI-E power cables.

why would u do that? the power supply doesn't provide enough power to your PCIe card?

i bought a ahell of a psu, OCZ ZX series 1000W 80+ Gold...
i'm sure she won't deny power to my gpus.
right?

or i'm not sure about what u guys are talking about

Could also be that the true mem speed is back to its original/stock setting.

^This.  It is hard coded into the GPU's BIOS on the 6000/7000 series cards to only allow 150mhz below engine clock.

Dropping a 6000 series card to 300mhz would make the LTC hash rate drop significantly.

Anyone know of a bios rom to flash to allow a 7950 to drop its memory more than 150mhz under core?

Is there a bios editor to edit the rom that comes on the card to allow this?

How low?

What is the best PSU for 3x 7870 XT?
And for 6970 x3?
Thanks.

 I havent seen one for 7 series. However, you can add that dll file to afterburner to allow lower memory

Yes there is, it is called hexeditor

Good Lord has no one ever heard of the [img width=1200] option? I couldn't even tell those were Gigabyte cards until I downsized them.

Crossfire bridges?  All they're doing is stopping the cards flopping about.  Pointless otherwise.

I do like the Asus SABERTOOTH boards - I recently got the FX990 R2 SABERTOOTH, it's without doubt the nicest board I've ever had.  Well worth the money, and I'm glad I didn't spend the extra £100 on the Asus P8B WS as I was going to.

Yes , CrossFire

SABERTOOTH is great and really worth the price.

I haven't. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I don't need to manually resize the pictures in mspaint.

[Jay_Pal]

Now I don't need to manually resize the pictures in mspaint.

"MSPaint"?!?! Is that some sort of Gimp for windows...?!
Or some MSCoins miner??
I believe my video card resizes the pictures I see... some seem soooo small...
 

[HellDiverUK]

Chrome resizes 'OMG HUGE!' pictures by default, I think.   But, you could use GIMP on Windows.

[Jay_Pal]

But, you could use GIMP on Windows.

Bucket of water with two drops of Gimp: the best Windows cleaner ever!
You don't need to Photoshop that view... Just clean the Windows with GIMP! muahahahahahahahah.
Ok... I'll behave...

BTW, when I encounter those "OMG What a Frea'in HUGE PIC" I use CTRL + Scrool to resize the hole page.
But please, it is just some etiquette not to resize the pictures in paint (please, don't do that, sometime we want the HUGE picture so we can appreciate the details) but to use the tag modifier to a size that won't annoy the others.
As so, if we want a bigger picture (for details), we would use the left mouse button and see just that pic.
Even so, thank you for posting your pictures!!!

BTW a somehow dumb question... where I live, I have an uncontrollable problem... a bare dirt land, right across the street.
On dry windy (or not, some times some dumb-asses go there with pickups and jeeps to make donuts on the dirt) and I have to dust my room and computers regularly.
I have one closed case, and another one open.
I see in the closed I have dirt on specific places, but in the open one, it gets everywhere.
Doesn't your open rigs get dirty and isn't this a problem?
I'm considering creating a rack enclosure where I'd filter the air using water. (No, I'm not talking about Water Cooling)
Would it be a good idea, providing a cheap controlled humidity, dust and temperature environment?
I know, some use filters and some use A/C, but this would somehow be passive, perhaps with some fan in the top blowing the air out of the case.
