what is the general consensus on 6990's?  Are they reliable miners?  Power consumption too high?  Are they needing constant attention?

Just started in on my first ones, and I am looking for some info.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

More power for less hash compared to 5970s.

No, 6990s mine faster than 5970s. But they have a lower Mh/J.

OK I should have said WAY more power for a tiny bit more hash, but yeah, they are less efficient.
