That site is a reputable site, they sell a lot of things, not just these. I ordered lot of stuff before, and just look at the reviews if you are skeptical.
Just don't buy their PC parts, super expensive.

You can get some very cheap extenders now! You don't need to put a x16 card directly on the slot if you get an extender for 4 bucks.

You don't get it, problem is when you can't plug an 1x extender into an 1x slot and have it working.

So they don't work even with extenders?

I got 2 6950 2GB sapphire reference design recently, 1 new 1 used, both successfully unlocked 1536 shaders, need to do some command line to unlock the bios first(write protected by default), and I've read that only reference version has high % of unlock.

Both can go to 900mhz core at stock voltage, full stable, they get ~400mh/s  each

WHat I paid

2x 5970 for $750 (used)

2x 5870 for $350 (used)

3x 5850 for $345 (these were new)

Thats about 3.4gh for $1445 for the cards

I spent another 150-200 per rig.

$50 foxconn mobo (currently running 4 cards)
$30 cpu
$180 Thermaltake 1200w power supply
and whatever 1gb of ram costs.

Good deals are out there!

I'm so jealous of you now, where you got these incredible deals!?

Keep for sure, 70$ is probably the price of this card 2 years after lol, now you can still find 4850 bit lower than this price, 4870 at 80ish

AS5 is not conductive, it's slightly capacitive. It has silver in it but the silver is suspended particles in a non conductive base.

Most of the sites I've seen are either US only or charges an exorbitant fee for other countries, and paypal is not a safe option at all, so anyone knows any kind of monetary services that allows you to transfer money to your bank in Canada, for example?

If you open the card your warranty will be lost even if XFX states lifetime

XFX allows removable of the stock cooler to replace it with a waterblock or aftermarket TIM as long as you put the stock cooler back on if you send it in for warranty.

Good to know, because virtually all other manufacturers will void the warranty if you do so.

Going to order some on Monday if stuff works out for me this weekend.

Also, if anyone would like to tip for the find

And from a different post, $85 5850's

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=32957.msg412205#msg412205

I highly doubt that this card is a 5770 by looking at the pic, 5770 is not a weak card with super low heat output, and this little cooler will melt on a 5770 on full load.
It's probably a 5570 and someone did a typo, and didn't correct it yet.

Just look at all the related products.

You probably can't get comfortable temps with this tiny cooler, if you want silence you need a big heatpipe based cooler. Go find an coolermaster hyper 212+, that should work passively. It should sell for 20$~30$
This is a Sempron not an i7 its not going to be generating nearly as much heat as those. At worst case the 15 dollar heatsink(including the fan) will work no problem. One of the reviews even said he ran prime95 and the highest temp his cpu got was 35c and he is running the 11 dollar heat sink.

You wanted to cool it without the fan, that puny little heatsink won't do it, even a low end graphics card will heat it up considerably. But of course it will work with the fan.

on 30/07/2011, 06:49:40 UTC
I confirm that a 5770(same as 6770) and a 6950 unlocked work together
both doing combined 560~570mh/s bit lower than expected probably due to the 650w PSU
5770 alone does 200 and 6950 alone does near 400

I've read that too but doesn't the 6870 reference get more shaders through a bios mod or something that get it similar if not more than the 5850?

That's the 6950 with it's 1408 shaders,  flashable to be a 6970 with 1536 shaders.

Except it's a huge gamble whether or not the shaders will be unlockable or function, even on a reference board.  I have 4 XFX 1GB 6950's and not a single one opened up locked shaders for me.

Don't go for the 6950 counting on making it a 6970, the odds are well against you.



I have 2 sapphire reference 6950s both are successfully unlocked, and they are from different sellers, unlocking a reference 2GB is like a walk in the park, success rate is huge.

Also 1GB version is NOT unlockable unless you are good at opening up the card to do some hardware mod.

So unlucky lately, so many blocks over 1-2 hours and some over 3! Isn't the average share number around the difficulty number?
