Re: [OPEN]-Pre-Order-Group Buy for GRIDSEED MINER (Canada)
Hi Karanveer,
Sorry didn't get time to check PM's. I can do paypal as another member said here. I would pay the fees no problem and in CAD right? Once you have enough people to make the quota please contact me and send an invoice through paypal and I will pay you at once, thanks!

Re: All Sapphire 7950s (11196-19-20G) are not suitable for mining?
Yeah sparks i don't put in doubt.
One day, I saw very good the little sparks in one of my dead gpus.
When i said this issue to Sapphire forum, a mod insinuated me that i must have a quality hardware above all the psu.
And I said her that the gpu showed me sparks because i had a bad hardware such as a mobo of 200 and a Platinum PSU (Fractal Design Newton R3 1000w)
and that if I had a Diamond PSU with 110% eficiency 
i'm sure that i wouldn't see any spark. Sapphire, Sapphire...

Yup, I'm sure many have had problems with their sapphire 7950's of the most recent batch. Something tells me they were created in haste to sell to miners without doing proper quality assurance. The problem is most people don't/won't see this thread but the issue is really bad. Hopefully sapphire issues us new better cards instead of the crappy problematic cards we currently have.

sparks?? really?
OMG...
one would expect Sapphire to recall all affected cards.. but no statement on their website or anything..

Yup sparked when I hit the power on it, I feel like it may be that the card had the voltage turned up on it (1.256) but I never overvolted it at all and can't change it unless i flash the bios, I tried to turn it down but it wouldn't change values. I'm worried about the rest of the cards but I am getting a new power supply and it is a platinum corsair so it shouldn't be a problem. If it sparks or dies i know it would definitely be the defective cards and I would have to do another RMA.

I bought six of these cards, two of them have already gone. What I noticed is that they sparked near the PCI-Power connector after I found my system randomly shut down. I think some of these are definitely defective, these were the batch from early January. I feel like it could be the power supply I used so I am trying with different power supplies and seeing if anything happens.
