Vs3, I see you're using crossfireX cables. I've allways had the impression that without em system works best.
I mean that you can individually max out each card without crossfire. (plus atleast I had ULP problems etc on my main comp)

To be quite honest - I haven't experimented much with the without-CrossX/with-CrossX - it just worked, so I decided it's best not to "fix" that Smiley
Btw only 4 of them are crossfired and the last one isn't - I managed to misplace the cable and haven't bothered buying a new one as it still just works...
So you might be right about that. I'll give it a shot over the weekend.


Lucko - about downclocking the memory - mine are at 450MHz, but that's only because at lower MHz sometimes the driver crashes and also it seems to affect the hashing speed. I can get mine easily down to 350MHz. I'm using the Sapphire Trixx - it also has an option to disable the ultra-lowvoltage-powersaving BS. Oh - and among the first things I do after booting up is to kill the CCC.exe and MOM.exe apps - they seem to want to tweak my cards and often cause the crashing.
As far as I know crossfire uses more electricity as far as I know... And I kill CCC.exe to... I will look into killing MOM.exe too. I have .bat file that do that. I did play with mem clocks so I don't think this is a problem. Thanks if this is a attempt of figuring out crashes of drivers in 5970 black edition...
