Could I be whitelisted, please? I'd like to make a post in the miners software forum. I'd like to help with developing PHP extension for the cgminer - so any1 could do monitoring their rigs from anywhere. Thank you.

Re: ATI Radeon 5970 for $350 - Good Deal ?

No.

5970, although a good card with dual GPUs, awesome for gaming, SUCK ASS for mining.

You cannot crack MSI Afterburner using them.  Which means you cannot underclock the memory or overclock the core very much.

You are better off getting two 5850s and over clocking the HELL out of those.  That is basically what a 5970 is.  Two 5850s but I would rather have two 5850s ANY DAY over 1 5970.

what a bullshit... I have 3x5970 in 1 mining rig. The Afterburner overclock them _perfectly_. Even if you have any troubles with overclocking you still could modify the BIOSes with overclocked settings so it will be there are no any need in overclocking software at all...

I sold the 6870, so on my 5970 with 820/300, 745Mh/s.
What are your hashrates?

hmmm how did you get 745Mh/s onto the 820/300? with which miner, with what settings? 'couse mine 5970 has only 680 onto this frequency.

Re: 5830 for $100 -- good price?

My 5830 gets 2.25 MH/s per Watt

how did you calculated this? mine 5830 does the job in 240-266Mhash range (depends of season heh). Running onto the poor 400W power supply with BIG headroom... So I couldnt say that this is inefficiently.

0) reinstall drivers - not always the latest version is good btw, check the forum for most stable version for your card
1) get the ANY overclocking off (cpu, video, RAM etc)
2) if it dont helps clean the video cooling system (radiator and cooler) from dust, etc. Get the radiator off and replace the conductive paste on it. If there are some "conductive scotch" THROW IT AWAY. Get the right paste (MX4 for example).
3) if the blue or black screen happened again just replace the power supply on more powerful model.

i'm running 1kw hiper and 3x850W TX's from corsair so I could recoomend the same models to you...

Hope it helps.

Re: HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet

on 19/02/2012, 21:28:56 UTC
i think the risks of the diying the USB stick or cd become scratched are the same is became hacked... As for me I have 4 faulty USB sticks last year. I think that's not good enough for the wallet purposes. As for me I keep my wallet unsecured onto the secured with SHA256 drive. This virtual drive is presented as a file on the physical disk. Most drive crypting software could do that, for example BestCrypt could, so I use it for years before, it bugless. Next you must do some regular backup procedures or upload crypted virtual drive container onto your google account - that's all. So you dont need to reebot, you dont need another PC... and so on. Meybe that's better heh?
