I have a A8-3850 Box,
Running all 4 cores. Getting 65MHash/s
Have you considered overclocking? Running all 4 cores. Getting 65MHash/s
You should worry about Noise generated when running full load(even just 1 core)
Better spend $30 for a after-market heat-sink+fan.
ATI released new Catalyst drivers including an 11.6 video driver and a small SDK upgrade (from v2.4.595.10 to v2.4.650.9)
I'm testing them on my boxes now and have noticed an improvement to hashing, but only on the order of 1-2% at most.
Radeon 6950 starting with Cat 11.5 and SDK 2.4.595.10 to 11.6/2.4.650.9 went from 366 MH/s to 369 MH/s max.
Radeon 5770 starting with Cat 11.5 and SDK 2.1 to 11.6/2.1 went from 208 MH/s to 214 MH/s max.
Still have a few more cards to test. Has anyone else downloaded/tested them?

Upgraded 3 PCs with this.
6950 (unlocked pipes) 342MHash/s -> 343MHash/s
6870 272MHash/s -> 273MHash/s
5830 232MHash/s -> 235MHash/s (performance gained on another friends' PC)
But I notice there's a lot of change/bugfix/improgrment for gaming. It's a good news for non-dedicated miner?

Hey bitcoiners, I've got a bit of a problem here and was hoping you could assist me. I'm planning on upgrading my single Nvidia GTX580 to 4 (yes four) AMD 6970's in my primary rig. Now, the problem is, my power supply, while rock solid, is only 850W and with a solid state, a hard drive, 12GB of ram, an i7 970, and an asus rampage extreme all in there, newegg's Calculator told me, very clearcut, that i should have 1650W... wait, what? 1650W? they dont even come that big, so i'm turning to you miners, what the heck do i do? do i stick with my 850W power supply and buy like 2 supplementary PSU's @ 450W each to power my gpu's? I'm at a loss here and welcome your input.
Cheers!
Cheers!
To answer your question
Each 6970 will require 260W each. That's 1040W
And i7 970 drains way too much Wattage.
Minimum PSU Wattage: 1323 W
Recommended PSU Wattage: 1373 W*
Amperage (combined)
+3.3V +5V +12V
11.8 A 10.1 A 106.9 A
Minimum UPS rating: 1961 VA
Recommended UPS rating: ** 2600 VA
You'd want a Single Rail for +12V, cuz if not if anything dies there's a chance the PSU will bring the rest with it.
Corsair CMPSU-1200AX is a Single Rail PSU with 100A. What you're asking is impossible.
I'd suggest to drop either the i7 CPU or one of the 6970. No can do with your current set-up.
You'd like to have something that hits no more than 90A. Don't even bother with multi Rail PSUs.
I hope this will help you.
Tip me if you'd like my post!
Re: 6970 in Windows, help with -f setting to watch video while mining?
It worked!!! Thanks so much man 
You actually tipped me

Re: 6970 in Windows, help with -f setting to watch video while mining?
I got an ATI HD 6970 and I'm running about 404 Mhash with 950mhz overclock and this batch command:
I'm messing with the "-f" option, using values like 60, 70, 80, but my computer keeps crashing when I try to play videos on webpages and the like.
Which are some good "-f" settings to use so that I can use my computer normally while mining? I don't wanna play 3D games and stuff, just watch embedded videos etc.

Hi
6950 & 6970 & 6990
Turn off Hardware acceleration of flash player(open a youtube, right click, disable it) before mining.
Pause mining, before playing a 3D pc game.

Hi
I'd like to share my plan with fellow miners and would like to have some input from those who are already mining with 4 dual-slot graphic cards
I am putting a Rig soon, I've obtained
4x 5830
1 Corsair AX1200 (1200W, 6(6P+2P)
1 old 160GB SATA HDD
I'll be needing a Motherboard and a CPU and a Case
My goal is to install either
4x 5830 (244MHash/s x 4 =~976MHash/s) (160Wx4 total 640W + system overhead, 4(6P+6P))or
2x 6870 + 2x 5830 (244MHash/s x 2 + 272MHash/s x 2 =~ 1032 MHash/s) (160Wx2 + 155Wx2 = 630W + system overhead, 4(6P+6P)) and later
3x 6990 (670MHash/s x 3 = ~ 2010MHash/s) ( 350W x 3 = 1050W + system overhead, 3(8P+8P) and ultimately later
3x 7990 (unknown Mhash/s and Power requirement)
With existing Motherboard and Power Supply(might have to change)
My ideal candidate for
MB : MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 790FX DDR3 4PCI-E16 CrossFire (8x + 8x + 8x + 8x)
CPU : AMD Sempron 140 Processor 2.7GHZ Socket AM3 1MB L2 Cache 45W Retail Box
Case : ( know I need a true 8 slot case, not a 7+1 case, 9~10 slots case is fine too, try to keep cost down, can afford have 1 side panel open the entire time.)
Thank you for reading this post, much appreciated if you can enlighten me!

Re: [~1900 Gh/s Mining Pool] HTTPS,API, instant payouts,LP,+1% for NO INVALID BLOCKS
Hi Tycho
I was looking at how many BTC I have on deepbit.net
I had 12.xxxx BTC and right after I installed this
"Windows Sidebar Gadget"
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7071.0
After I input the API token, the Gadget works, then the next second it shows I have
0.03412457 BTC
I've set the auto-payment at 25 BTC. I wounder such a difference?
Would it be possible for deepbit add a feature like...
Show date/time/amount of BTC transfered to (what) bitcoin address?
Thank you

Thank you! =P
It depends on your confidence in that transaction.
If you know that it's real and not some kind of fraud, then you may spend it just after the first confirmation.
If you want to be sure - you may need to wait for 2-6 confirmations before doing something like shipping a package to your buyer.

Re: [~1500 Gh/s Mining Pool] SSL, API, instant payouts,LP,+1% for NO INVALID BLOCKS
One more question
I got 12 confirmations. Is that all, Or I'd need more?
Is it 1 confirmation for each BTC transacted?
like If I am to receive 100 BTCs I'll need 100+ confirmations?

It's confirming... slowly
3/10. I guess it takes time.
Aigh.. It's been 2 hours and it is still not confirmed.

YOu need to wait for your local Bitcoin to catch up to all the information it missed while you weren't running it.

You're confused at how Bitcoin works. A Bitcoin client does not have to be running for someone to pay to an address. Bitcoin would be absolutely useless if it was any other way.
Yes, I know it should be like that, but I can't seem to find the 10 BTC from the Balance of running the Bitcoin.exe
