Re: Radeonvolt - HD5850 reference voltage tweaking and VRM temp. display for Linux

Hi, we've recently been having some issues overvolting our Sapphire 5850 Xtreme cards, basically having the same issues as some other people in this thread.

I had search around today on the net and found this: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2308101

Not sure if its right or not, but it looks to be around the right sort of thing you were after? In particular the use of the IC chip used on the card.

Obviously software based overvolting is far more desirable than this risky hardware mod in that thread. Myself and my business partner would be immensely grateful if these issues could be resolved for linux and we'd be willing to throw you a bitcoin or two for your trouble  Grin. We realise its not much, but hopefully others will be able to contribute as well.

Hope this helps, if there's any other information you want us to trawl the web for, we will try and help!

Anyone know why putting hashkill to run from a batch file produces this error?

hashkill-gpu: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It works fine if I run it from the terminal window, but produces this error if I run my batch file independent of the terminal window.

Causing problems with automatic startup of the miner after logging in...

Put the export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=... line in your script.

Thanks very much for that, got my problem fixed. A really awesome miner, I'm liking the interface with the user too.

Re: BlightyCoin: UK Mining Hardware [BTC & GBP]

Hi guys, I'd just like to first of all introduce myself as the developer of the BlightyCoin miners. Just want to respond to a couple of questioned raised recently.

First of all just to backup what my associate was saying earlier about the PSU. The power supply for the single card machine (lite) is a 500W OCZ PSU, where as the dual card machine (duo) is 600W. Both more more than enough to handle the system and are designed to be very efficient for the system. I have personally tested the dual card machine for a month or so running all the time, and so far have ran into no issues.

I'd also like to clarify the hardware going into these machines.

Both machines contain:
AMD Sempron 140 CPU. (2.7ghz)
1GB DDR3 1066mhz RAM
160GB generic SATA hard drive

A USB storage medium was suggested, however as discovered in early prototyping it was not practical to have a system constantly booting from USB. USB devices can fail over time especially if they are continually accessed on a 24 hour basis. Also there was a very long boot up time which was deemed unacceptable for the machine.

Also suggested in early prototyping was using an SSD as these use hardly any power at all. This is very true, however it would take you a very very long time to make your money back in electric costs so this to me seems a bit of waste of money. Though this is up to your own interpretation, but its not worth it in my opinion.

The 'lite' edition includes these extra components:
Asus M4A78LT-M motherboard - a efficient, low power motherboard designed for one card only. Just to note, it will not be possible to upgrade from a 'lite' edition to a 'duo' edition machine.
1 Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 Extreme 1024MB GPU - Best watt per m/hash card on the market today.

The 'duo' edition includes these extra components:
Asus M4A88T-V EVO motherboard - a 'step up' from the lite edition motherboard but fully compatible with two GPUs.
2 Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 Extreme 1024MB GPU - These will not be running in crossfire. Early testing showed that crossfiring the cards resulted in some system instability and some loss in performance. Also noticed was occasionally miners would crash, stop responding or simply not work at all.

The 'cased' option for both our systems uses a Cooler Master Elite 370 case. This has more than adequate cooling, however to ensure optional performance in 'warm' conditions, the duo edition will include an extra high performance fan on the front on the case.

If anyone else has any questions, just let us know. Thanks!

Hi guys,

Due to an incompatibility with two cards on my system, I'm selling one of my 6950 cards. It gets around 400 mhashes with some light overclocking and messing around with the flags in poclbm.

If anyone is interested, just send me a pm. I'm looking for around 50btc shipped anywhere in the UK (international buyers please contact me to arrange cost of shipping outside the UK).

Just to note I have sold stuff before... check my otc feedback  Grin

Thanks!

600W OCZ psu, more than enough for the system. I ran furmark for a while too... it didn't have any problems and ran both cards fine.

Verification failed, check hardware!

Hey all, just finished setting up a dedicated rig, but having a few problems...

For some reason when using poclbm I'm getting this Verification failed, check hardware message on one of my cards. This only happens if I run both of my cards at once.

When using diabloMiner, it is happy to run both miners on both cards but one of them ends up mining at a rate of about 5mhash

What do you think could be causing the problem? Specs:

AMD Sempron 140
2 x 6950
Windows XP 32 bit
running catalyst 11.5 (crossfire enabled)

Thanks in advance!  Wink

Just checked online and my miners are still running, I assume they restarted themselves when the server was back up.

Did it go down last night? My miners stopped running for a while and I kept getting 502's when trying to load up the site.

Still for sale, just thought I'd mention that as the game hasn't been released on PC yet, it will unlock on the day of release so you can download immediately.

Selling Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for Bitcoin (PC Version)

I recently upgraded my graphics cards, for bitcoin purposes  Grin.

However, as I got 2 of the same card, I got 2 free copies of Assassins Creed Brotherhood codes, which allow for a free download of the game by going to: http://www.zotac.com/ACBpromo. More instructions given to buyer (if needed).

This is defiantly the full game, and it is not in any way dependant on the hardware that I have recently purchased (although a good PC might be advisable!).

Price: 20 Bitcoin, first come first served.

PM me if you are interested!
