I must say I started mining this coin yesterday and everything runs 50% plus cooler. I need to get my killawatt out and see the draw compared to a normal scrypt coin. So far I love it!
Thanks Devs
I also put few of my card to mine this coin and it's true that cards run a lot cooler.
Please post results from that killawatt reader.
Ok here are the results. This miner is a 4x270
Normal Coin: 887 - 892
Darkcoin: 550-552
If someone has better setting for the r9 270 let me know
thanks
That's a huge difference on my power bill

That's a big difference. What intensity are you using and how much coin per day per card does it generate?
I 18

I am currently pulling in about 4.5-5 coins per card a day.
I think I'll get less than 4.5DRK per 270x, but they are still running hot, almost 80C. That's with 1.2Mh/s on each card.
Can you write your settings gpu/mem for 270x , also intensity and lookup-gap in bat file?
I start the two 270x's from two separate bat-files, identifying them with '-d'
Fans run at 1080 and 1250 RPM. No HW errors since start 8 hours ago.
