I'm assuming you spaced yours apart with riser cables right? Are you using the powered version? My motherboard has a sata plug that supposedly adds extra power to the pci-e bus. Won't even boot without it if you've got more than three cards in there. If I wanted to upgrade to a few extra cards would you recommend the powered versions? I wanted to try and run them all on the mobo, but since that isn't possible I might as well add more haha

Are you running the reference clock? If not what sort of clock are you running to get that hashrate? I'd be a bit dissapointed to learn that you were able to generate the same average per card hashrate as I do at a slower clock lol. I might just return these ghz editions and switch to reference cards.

Would I see a gain in hashrate moving to Linux? I assume that the gui kinda takes away from efficiency a bit, right?

Thanks for the post Mccminer!

Mine are actually on two different motherboards. One unit has 3 cards and the other has 2. All are connected directly to the motherboards. Mine is just an open air setup with a good fan blowing across all 5 cards. I setup a script to monitor my card temps every 15 minutes and log them for me to keep track of, and none of them get over 72C. I've played around with the core/mem settings quite a bit on my cards and most of them are running at 1150/800, if I remember correctly (don't have access to my machine right now). Not sure how much is to gain, if anything from running Linux. I just used it because I like it, it's free, and I don't have a copy of Win7 laying around. Grin
