What gets me is why he would delete his tweet. If he's pulling in donations, he should keep the address posted.

How can I be sure my coins are secure? I don't want to get a transaction lost or coins dissappear. What do I need to do?

No problems here. We had a ddos attack, when?

I had another topic with my overheating card.

Basically i got up to 105° and crashed while mining in a closed case with one case fan
And up to 85-90° with case open and a table fan pointing to the card. It crashed again and I wouldn't work anymore. Send it back and got a refund.

So, if anyone remembers, I bought a used 5870 which overheated at 90° with open case and extra table-fans. Today I got my refund.

Sucky thing is, that I couldn't mine when dificulty was 500k until now. So a lot of money "lost" (or, not earned)


I already bought another 500W PSU (my old 430w bequiet PSU is still in the case and the 500w is still original packed/weld)  and  2 case fans to keep up with the power consume and heat, wouldn't be a bit useless if I wouldn#t use it...


I'm thinking about buying another card because I might wanna play some games on 1/2GB card instead of my 640M one in the future, and maybe for mining. (Which I'd do since if the card can handle it and it's just over the electricity bill, there's no use in not doing it)

Should I check out ebay as people are starting to sell their cards now for a cheap-deal?

Do I get a new one to not get this overheating crap again, get a proper guarantee deal etc?

Or do I invest in Bitcoins and buy myself a card when difficulty got up again and card prices at ebay are going even lower?

Thanks for help.

Me trying to reassemble a GPU is quite.. dangerous?

I'm happy my CPU is running with my coating...

Yeah, I know. I installed only one 8mm fan to let out the air, but my Card crashed when the case was open, and a table fan (approx 1 foot) was cooling the card. It got 95° hot and died out. So we got a Card that's too hot, even with unusual cooling AND a Case that has bad airflow.

Trying to get another card and getting more fans.

So , maybe I wanna try undervolting next. Afterburner doesn't work with voltage on non-msi products, so I have to go to the BIOS. Any help with that?

On other notes, the GPU crashed with 95°C and wouldnt work anymore, so I installed my old e-geforce GTS 8800, which runs at ~ caution ~

80°C standby and 100° mining 21 mhs. And this thing won't die!

This seems a lot like a bad-airflow area, but I installed a 8mm fan, letting some air out and when my 5870 crashed, the case was opened and a normal sized table-fan was letting the air either against or away from the card (tested both, no real differences).

How do I add more fans with only 2 basic fan-pins on the motherboard?


Boy, when I'm finished twerking that card, difficulty is 2 steps up...

Gerade gesehen dass auf der Rückseite ein Teil des Wärmeleitblechs verbogen ist.

Das sieht dann nicht so aus | | | | | | |
sondern so:  | | | | | \ \ \ - So dass die hinteren Streben weniger Luft-Zwischenraum haben als die anderen.



Na gut, dann werde ich das Teil mal zurückgeben - Ich hoffe ich kann es im Ladenlokal gegen ein andere eintauschen, anstatt nochmal darauf warten zu müssen dass das Teil durch n Versand hin und rück geht, bzw. die sich das angucken bevor ich ne neue bekomme. In der Zeit ist wieder ne neue difficulty da.

Abkotz.

bei Mtgox beim 8$-Kurs 100€ überwiesen, als es von 32 wieder auf 26 runter war, war mein Geld da. 8 Tage gewartet.

"Günstige" Karte bestellt, 8 Tage gewartet, in der Zeit hätte man minen können und die Difficulty ist auch gestiegen. Und nun das. Mein typisches Glück.

btw, rhats my fan design for now.
-----  Card
 [ /|\ ] - Fan        Actual Setup (Open Case, Fan blowing into the pc, under the card)



close setup is


[ <- ] Fan

----- Graphics Card

---- Sound Card            This setup is with case closed, blwoing air out of the rear.

GPU Fan is running, Heatsink seems to be adjusted properly. I actually have to underclock this card to use it for mining.

I'm trying to bring them back into the store and get a replacement if the sink's alright. Thanks

Man könnte ja fast davon ausgehen, dass die das Teil auf Funktion testen, bevor es wieder in den Verkauf kommt.
Durch die ewig lange Lieferzeit von 8 Tagen hätte ich mir auch früher ne Karte holen und noch in der letzten Difficulty minen können.

Danke erstmal, ich guck mal ob ich das Teil mit in den Laden nehmen kann, oder gar zurückschicken *kotz*

Gut nacht

Karte war Retourware bei K&M, Gehäuselüfter hab ich einen 8cm 1500 RPM von Papst drin.

Karte ist absolut sauber, keinerlei Flusen in Lüfter oder Wärmeleitblech.

Überlege das Teil morgen mal in den Laden zu bringen..

Karte im Leerlauf etwa 50-60° (je ob Case offen und ob direkt mit 1500 RPM-Fan belüftet wird)

Karte ist Gigabyte Ultra Durable 5870 1GB DDR5 - GV R587UD-1GD

Voltage ist blockiert.

Gehäuse ist jetzt offen. Mit Papst 1500 RPM 8cm Lüfter direkt im 90° Winkel der Karte (also Lüfter steht einfach auf dem Gehäuseboden, bläst da rein, worüber sich die karte befindet, bzw wo die Luft der GPU-Lüftung hingeht: Core 900, Memory 180, 94°C, 370 mh/s.

Bissl runtergedreht auf Core 749, 89° 326 mh/s.


Noch normal?

I opened the case earlier and pointed the fan to it, I could get about 89° on 370mh/s if I remember right. Now with closed case and the fan in the rear to let the air flow out the box I get my 99+ again..

avtually running 200mh/s at memory 180 and clock 459, at 88°C. Case closed (what a pun.)





@Ognasty: how do you get 8 of them into your pc? show me a pic? where do you get the electricity from?


I guess I'm letting the pc run even lower at night and buying a second fan tomorrow morning.


Btw, I'm from germany, I won't buy anything at newegg because it's... well, shipping costs?

Btw got a Papst Fan for 12€.

Hab Cory jetzt auf 455 und Memory auf 180

200mh/s und 89° C

Bei Core auf 900 bekomme ich 370mh/s und er schmiert nach 5 minuten ab, nachdem er über 100° geht...

I got a fan doing 1500 RPM. I installed it in the mid-rear and it does like, nothing. CPU and stuff seems 2° colder but thats all.

If I'm running guiminer I get 110°C and the system crashes.

Looks like a broken card...

nein, schrieb ich doch schon. Nur die 2 auf der Karte (und natürlich PSU und CPU).

Mit Memory 300 und Core 425 komme ich auf beständige 83°C und 145mhash/s.-

This HDD can't be 108°C because it feels to cold.

But my GPA is hot in stand-by. 60°C and I can feel the heat on the card.


Yes it was used, but it was very clean. Didn't notice any dust  (didnt look that much, but you know..). May it be returned because it was too hot? I bought it as a retour-ware.




With Mem at 600 and clock at 425, I get 170mh/s with an temperature of 83°C

Mit memory auf 600 (minimum bei afterburner) und core bei 425, bremst er den auf 175mh/s runter, dafür bekomme ich aber auch "nur" 80°C
