Gold Rush cards are now sold out - expect to see more soon.

Pics of a Gold Rush card in the wild (in the UK)... with some creative extra cooling on the bottom of the chip... this isn't required.

price reduced to $849

Just a little reminder,

There are a number of folks who have been told not to post in this thread. Their posts are deleted. Also if you quote posts by trolls those are also deleted.

Price has been reduced to $999

I guess you should see some sense then. You are not getting moderated by "Zum".

Sorry about off topic Lobbes, continue on.

Minepart was put on probation in that thread. (Read Banned until further notice)

All of his posts will be removed regardless of what is written in them.
Any posts quoting those posts will be removed regardless of what is written in them.

This is a very simple system, one that we have used since the thread opened.


Some posts are well written and are completely against Ken and Activemining which we have no issue with but include an attack or "troll" on another user for a small portion of the post and the entire post has to then be deleted.
If you would like to post something please do so without quoting banned users, attacking other users, or trolling in general and your post will not be deleted.

Most of these are actually the same person. The whole reason for this list is that these particular members mostly troll and cannot hold a civil conversation. Also now that their messages have been deleted from multiple threads they seem to make it a mission to disrupt any Active Mining thread they see.

Setup

Each box should contain the following:
(1) Board
(2) Finned Heatsinks
(2) Thick purple thermal pads

Thermal Pads/Finned Heatsinks go on this portion of the board


Unscrew the screws under the heatsinks


Peel off the film on the Thick purple thermal pad (Front and Back), stick one under each heatsink - *Be sure to poke holes where the screws should go*


Screw in the heatsinks to the board


Wipe all of the thermal compound off the chips (if there is any)

Wipe all of the thermal compound off the heatsink (if there is any)

Smear (Don't Dab) the Antec Nano Diamond Thermal Compound on the chips. I've been told less is more but to full cover them.

Since the H80i's mounting kit simply doesn't work with these boards you will have to do some weird stuff unless you want to buy correct standoffs (I Found that buying just the nuts was easier)

I Labeled the following image to make it easy (This is the mounting kit that comes with the H80i)

A goes under the board just as it is
D (The Standoffs) screw into A on top of the board (Longer Side)
B goes on top of the cooler first (To create spacing to get a tight fit
C goes on top of B on the cooler
Use the #8-32 Hex Nuts to attach the cooler to D (The Standoffs)


Once you are done it should look something like this:



Screw the Fan that came with the H80i onto the Radiator with the screws (E) located in the mounting kit

Now to prepare your PSU

You only need the following cables:

2 x 6 Pin PCI-E - (Plugs into the Board)
1 x 24-pin ATX cable (Paperclip trick to turn it on - http://www.seasonic.ru/media/uploads/jump-start-3.jpg)
1x Sata Power Cable (to power the pump)

Once you have the PSU setup, plug your PCI-E's into the board (Make sure your PSU is off guys!)


Plug your the cord from the Cooler into the Sata Power Cable and into the board (Sata is under the board in C) (into the board in B)
Plug your Fan on the radiator to the board on any of the open places (I put mine in A)


Now plug one of your Port USB A Female Slot Plate Adapter (5-Pin) into the board


Plug your USB 2.0 A Male to A Male Cable into the USB A Female and into your computer (host)


Download the Latest CGMiner - http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/

Install WinUSB if needed - http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/zadig/

Start it up and it should run!


I highly recommend you have a large fan blowing on the board to keep it cool else it WILL throttle if you try to OC it. I use one similar to this THIS
You also should have it somewhat in the air so that the bottom side of the board can be cooled as well
I also recommend using Linux with CGMiner as it has been crashing with Windows somewhat

To OC simply make a .bat file inside your CGMiner with the following conditions (Thank you MrTeal)

Here is my mining address with 2x Prospectors on it (Prospector1 is the worker name)

We are starting to see Theymos ban these users now, thank you.

However it is unfortunate that we have to PM him with each one of these alts names after they spam 50-200 posts of the same garbage.

Maybe there will be newbie limits once again.

Easily surpassed 100 now

Over 40 Spam posts deleted just today.

What is going on? Why are these users not banned?

Another Day, another spam session and none of them are being banned.

PMs have been sent to Theymos and Posts have been made on this thread clearly showing the trolls yet they are still posting in our thread.

Again we are being spammed with these types of posts over and over by various accounts.

We are now getting a lot of spam posts from V2Rocket along with "Snowflake" who have both been warned previously.

A new alt has popped up: V2Rocket

This user has been officially warned via PM.
