Re: Underclocking memory on an MSI R6850 1GD5 Power Edition

Have you verified that the memory underclock sticks with GPU-Z? I don't have any 6xxx series to test.

I was under the impression it was limited in the BIOS and required an edit.

Re: Which miner are you using?

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.

CGMinerw with built-in oc

Exactly! Being able to control the mining, overclock, cooling, and overheat shutdown in one program is a great time saver!

Plus I get fantastic hash rates with cgminer!

I just hope they improve the miners for the new SDK 2.6, so that 79xx cards mine faster.

With the newest cgminer (2.2.7) and the latest AMD drivers (12.2 pre-cert) I'm getting around 668 Mh/s with 1150/150, stock voltages. Temp is 64 degrees with 3000 rpm fan. Reference design.

I'll check it out!

From what I've seen Bit-Pay is awesome. They really seem to be a company dedicated to advancing Bitcoin by providing merchant services, while getting their slice of the pie in the process (as any company should)!

That's awesome!  Cheesy It makes me think of Aphex Twin - Power Pill.

Be sure to link your site when you have a working Bitcoin cart!

Like the others have already mentioned, this type of card just blows the hot air from the graphics card around your computer case. A reference designed 7970 with a blower fan is quite loud, but gets the job done in displacing the heat produced by the card. Another consideration (which I currently use) is to get a full card waterblock (universal blocks do not cool 7970 mosfets, so the board will crash in minutes at high clocks under load).

I agree, but this doesn't seem to account for the problem the OP is having. Placing each card individually in his rig still results in one card running at much higher temps than the other.

I would avoid this design from the start. Apparently since they aren't reference, they also change the voltages as they please to achieve their meager overclock.

In my experience, reference design is always a superior solution.

I like small and quiet clusters like this Roll Eyes

Icarus fpga cluster 2 Ghs @ 100W

You are on your way to having a nice cluster there! FPGA makes it look so clean and easy!

This is not a great way to go about things. Obviously there is a market here, and Zhoutong is the only one offering a product. I would encourage someone who is interested in such things to do a better job and take away his market share.

Maybe you OP have the talent for this type of thing? Or are you only good at seeing the faults of others?

There is no evidence Zhoutong has done anything fraudulent, perhaps you could provide some instead of making baseless accusations?

I haven't heard of any, but it seems like a good idea! Maybe you could be the first. I'm sure the community would buy some of your music with Bitcoin if the method was available.

What kind of music do you play?
