Nice setup pontiacg5, congrats

Thanks!

What are the specs on that gorgeous litecoin rig?? in terms of motherboard and video cards you have implemented

The motherboard is a MSI z77A-GD65, paired with a little G1620 ivy celeron. The cards are gigabyte windforce 280x cards. The power supplies are coolmax 80 bornze 1000W, and I'm starting to think they may be inadequate. Going to swap in a evga supernova 1500W supply and see if that helps. I've now managed to get scrypt mining working, but it locks at super moderate clocks. Linux is an exceptional PITA and just removing two cards to test is apparently too much to ask  Grin

I bought these cards because I could get them at about $20 more per card than 7950's. I've managed 750kh/s on 280x sapphire cards at near factory clocks, so I was hoping it would work here. Now I'm thinking I'm going to return the 280x cards and get 7950s instead, like I should have to start with!


Just dont buy MSI cards with one fan. Listen to me and buy 7950 dual fans
