Re: 50-core Intel Xeon Phi of no use to us?

I actually know a person who works for Intel who is developing this.  You would all shit your pants if you knew who he was in this community and you probably wouldn't believe me.

I don't think you are telling the truth.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  I know so much about the bitcoin community ... you guys have no clue.  I have no reason lie.  I don't need the approval of anyone from this forum.

He says this is going to get about 2.4 Ghash range (they are still testing it) and it was supposed to cost about 1000 dollars but maybe they want to compete with asic and offer cheaper prices?  But again, this card isn't really for Bitcoin, so who knows.

2.4GHash/s but what hashes? bitcoin double sha2-256 or maybe 2.4 md5 GHash/s? This is important.

That I do not know.

Re: 5970 getting 'sick' and dying after 10 minutes of mining.

What are the temps? Dirty, clogged up heat sinks and fans mess up all kinds of things
Make sure nothing is over clocked before going too crazy troubleshooting stuff. Verify PC BIOS is up to date.
Run a Video card stress test and and look for artifacts to narrow it down to a specific card then swap PCIe slots.
See if the issues follows the card or stays with a PCIe socket.

Temps at around 70 per core.

Will try the rest.  Thank you!!

do you have enough power ?

Yes, a PC Power and Cooling 950w PSU with only two 5970 on them.  I cannot clock them over 600 or one of them fails.

Got it from a guy on the forum too, looks like he sold me his dud 5970.

They have to USE your money, to buy\manufacture the asic gear.

You are not getting a refund brother.  Not for a while.

Yep, capital venture my ass.

I do not get what you are saying ...but it looks like you are attacking me... like everyone else in the forum.  Anyhow, they used Capital Venture to acquire the asic stamp, in order to CREATE their product.  Do you even know what that is?  Do you even know how much that costs?

If you think Venture Capital is supplying them with MORE money, then why on Earth all these 4 month early pre-orders?  Why would they need to do that if they had sufficient financial backing already?
