This is kind of a silly question, sorry.
I have a spare brand new seasonic platinum 660w psu. Now I am planning on building a little litecoin mining rig with two 7950's.
I do not plan on adding anymore cards to this system...Most psu calculators are suggesting around 800+ for what I'll be getting. I think I could trim it to 650 or so if I
don't use an older 7200 rpm hdd and do some sort of flashdrive or ssd though. Do I need to stay very close to the wattage for mining or am I going to be ok with the seasonic?

Dear Friends, Lovers, and Enemies,
First off. Sorry for the scare. and believe me it was a SCARE - we had to refund over 200k and we were happy to do it because we claimed from day one that we will honor any refurequest until we go into production and we meant it. And As crazy as fuck as it is to say so , we will sill honor it. We took multiple 20k+ refunds left and right without batting and eye lash because we believe in this project and we know we will be releasing our bASIC Bitcoin mining units sooner than everyone else, especially our good friends BFL.
Love us or hate us, I have some good friends who are original Bitcoin "old money" and they gave us the additional funding we need to finish the chip fab / packaging and take this thing into production. (THANK GOD!)
we WILL be shipping bASIC bitcoin mining devices in March 2013 and I am willing to put my own money against anyone who says otherwise.
The Design is done baby. The chips will be state-side as soon as Chinese New Year is over and for those who could not stomach the wait I don't blame you but I'm sorry to say you lost you place in line my friends.
March may seem a long time away as we all have ASIC blue balls right now, but its really not that far away, and I salute and congratulate all of you who have had the testicular fortitude to stick it out with us because you my friends will receive the ultimate reward. Sure Avalon may get some units out before the Chinese new year but that is sure to be a very limited number. On the other hand our assembly house has an unlimited assembly capacity and as soon as the Chinese new year ends we will have 16,000 freshly fabbed and packaged ASIC chips and we will be assembling those PCB's at FULL CAPACITY !We will be shipping ALL CURRENT ORDERS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH AND WE STILL HAVE ROOM FOR MORE ORDERS SO Get IN WHILE YOU STILL CAN! I stake my personal name and word on that. So hold on tight my friends because its going to be a wild ride in the month of March.
Now Let's Get ready to mine some serious coins
your friend always "cablepair"
Tom

I am really glad that he is going forward, and hopefully everything works out.....
That said I cancelled my orders after dave and lukas reported badly and I will not be buying anything until I actually see a product. He really had a breach of trust at the very least and to regain that he is going to have to do a bit more than simple words, sorry.
This whole argument is kind of moot since people aren't getting refunds at all.
Should have received a refund last week. Requested a refund on Jan 6.

Several members of this forum have reportedly received refunds already.
Been waiting for mine since Jan 6. People after me have claimed to have received them.
......
Also been waiting since Jan 6 and nothing. Although it does say "Refunded" on the order information page, my money has not shown up sadly.
Hopefully it is just held up over the weekend? We shall see I suppose.
If your status is refunded then your refund was processed. It will probably show up on monday or tuesday in your account.
My status has not been changed to refunded (signaling that it has been refunded/processed).
Yep, actually got the refund this morning when it seems my bank woke up. Honestly I am very happy that they seem to be at least responding and refunding still.
Imo still bASIC is simply a problem ridden company and not a scam. If they get their shit together I absolutely would purchase a unit.

I am out, too. Requested Refund 5 min ago. Feeling a bit buddfact. Still I believe, Tom worked in good faith.
1NpZwAn2m9nnKVuoZWwQgkKcKBkKD2tNNv is the address, if someone wants to make looky looky.
Damn, wished it would have gone down differently, but too many PR mistakes fuelled the refunds.
And Damn BFL and Basic. Oneself probably would have made an asic by now?!?!?

I also think Tom was trying his best honestly. I consider it more of a failure as a startup rather than a scam,
at least at this point.
Well shit.
Has anyone gotten any CC refunds yet? I asked on 1-6 and of course nothing has shown up yet. I realize the BTC have gone out somewhat, so...anyone gotten anything on this front? Sad that my bank is closed till monday

It is too bad that another delay is happening for sure, but it seems that Tom is getting a bit more heat than deserved. Every company selling consumer ASIC's has had delays of some sort or another. Why is Tom specifically going to be going belly up while all the others can just coast along month to month? I am sure alot of this could be alleviated with some actual physical specs, pictures, or what have you.
Re: High Efficiency FPGA & ASIC Bitcoin Mining Devices https://BTCFPGA.com
are we able to add more units to a previous order to save the shipping charge of a new order?
That would be great! I'll double my order in that case.
Yep, would really consider doing the same if this is the case.
Damn if it didn't need to connect to Facebook, looks neat and fun, I would like to try it out when it gets out of Beta I guess.
agreed...it feels a bit like a cash in. really don't understand how he defends "anonymous" style internet then requires this for his next project.
Hiya,
Ive seen recommendations to underclock the memory on the gpu cards, can i ask a) why would we do this?, and b) how we do this?
I can use the --od-setclocks= command, but the output shows i can only set the GPU Core to 500-950 and the Memory to 1375-1450 on my 6970 (This is a non-reference model, so i dont have the 2nd bios
, is this my problem?)
Thanks

Underclocking memory is believed to reduce temperatures on the card and does not affect performance as mining is not memory intensive. overclocking utilities (MSI afterburner for instance) should allow a deeper downclocking, but ymmv.
Re: Hardcore libertarians: explain your anti-IP-rights position to me.
By claiming intellectual property rights on the data in the book or CD or game I bought, you are claiming partial ownership of my property. That violates my property rights. I bought it, and I bought the whole thing, Data included.
Suppose I offer to sell you a car for $1,500. Then I say, "I tell you what, you can have it for $1,200, but if you drive it on a Saturday between 2AM and 3AM local time, you must pay me $15." Is that enforceable?You bought whatever your agreement with the seller says you bought. That agreement includes the laws of your jurisdiction unless you negotiate otherwise.
I think the equivalent real situation you are trying to get at is that companies can wrap agreements in their products. What is different is that these wrappers are usually not signed by the purchaser, and not made clear prior to purchase and opening of the product. This would be like sticking this contract in the glovebox of the car and then claiming you agreed without any prior notification.
Perhaps you are being real and assuming someone would take those contracts for the car. This doesn't happen because there is no need and someone would simply rather sell the product. This has usually not happened with IP related materials up until very recently. This is happening now because IP is different than a normal product like a car and the producers of it need to come up with some way of keeping control of the profit chain, even though technology has moved past that ability.
