I went to everywhere in Dallas, TX nobody has even heard of t hem.  I ordered some off of Ebay but they are tiny and don't fit.  Where can I purchase PCI Extension cables compatible with Radeon 6950's?
Thank you...

Here are my fan readings from CPUID Hardware Monitor

Fans
FANIN0 1597 RPM
FANIN1 1427 RPM

Fans PWM
CPU 100%
System Fan 1 100%
System Fan 2 100%
System Fan 3 100%

What kind of cast I do not know how to answer?

i meant to type case, rather than cast.

do you happen to have a link to the exact card you are using?
The case is called a Cooler Master - I am sure I got ripped off on the pricing on the thing.

3 of the cards are this:

http://www.amazon.com/XFX-HD-695A-CNFC-Radeon-6950-Graphics/dp/B004GCIZ5K

1 of the cards is this:

Like I said I took the 2 middle cards out though, so right now there is 1 of each type in the case - with the side of the case taken off and my desk fan blowing on them haha.

I am on Windows 7 with Radeon 6950's

I had 6950x4 and then you guys taught me stacking them on top of each other makes them too hot.

So for now I removed the 2 that were in the middle so the remaining 2 do not have anything touching them on either side.

You guys said that they should be running 50-60 degrees Celsius but these 2 cards are still running at 80 and I'm wondering if it's something on my command line?

I am using this one I found somewhere that is getting me 260 Mhash (mind you I have no idea what any of it means)

phoenix.exe -u http://WORKERNAME:PASSWORD@pool.bitclockers.com:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=10 DEVICE=0

I adjusted AGGRESSION down to 7 and that didn't make any difference, and if I go lower than 7 I lose significant hash speed (meanwhile I thought I was expecting to get 310 Mhash out of each card but the line above only gives 260)

Is something in the command line making the cards run hot?

So help me out here...  basically all I would have to do is take the cards out of the case - plug the extender cables in where the cards were before - plug the cards into the other end of the cable, and separate them on a contraption outside the case somewhere?

Is that right?  Would everything else work like it is right now when I plug it all back in?

Thanks

Since I have to buy 3, can you tell me how much a cable should cost so I don't get ripped off?  (I assume I can leave 1 video card in the case and just separate the other 3) ?

Personally I would call anything over 80 degrees C too hot, but 90 isn't in the danger zone just yet.

I should have specified what I meant by danger zone. Don't expect a crippling failure at 90 degrees in the short run, but it's going to shorten it's life expectancy in the long run.
are they getting so hot because they are in this huge gaming case that the store installed everything into?  I see on youtube videos that most people just have the cards out in the open on a table.  or is it for some other reason?  Should I take everything out of the casing?  I started up the other 3 cards and they started immediately going to 100 celsius so I have everything shut down for now.

HWmonitor is what I use, it works great:

OK it says the first card I have running is 190 degrees F 90 Celsius.

How hot is too hot??

I of course am not hashing on the processor but how do I make sure I'm not overheating the cards?  Thanks for any info. 

I am on Windows 7 with 4x6950.  AMD Radeon.  Only 1 is running right now and I am about to build 3 dummy plugs for the other cards.

Thanks

use dummy plugs. they are easy as shit to build and cost ~0$ if you can get some 75ohm resistors (3 per plug). note: you need one plug per GPU so you might want to buy some DVI-VGA-Adapters.

google "vga dummy plug" for more info.
Sorry for the stupid question, but after I build them and plug them in will the devices automatically be assigned and visible to phoenix for me to run at the command line? or do I need to do something further?

  • Cayman
  • [1] AMD Phenom [[ X6 1100T Processor

    Those are the only 2 devices listed.  Can anyone explain to me how to active the other 3 cards?  
When you say "listed" - listed by what?  It may simply be a limitation of the tool, may be hard-coded to only see 2 devices.

Have you tried simply changing the command line - "device=2", "device=3", etc and see what happens?

Yes, I have tried 2 through 10 but it just tells me "No device specified or device not found" and lists those 2 above as 0 and 1.

Hi pinjas, I am using Windows 7.

So do you think if I build the dummy plugs that will solve the problem?

I don't know why the original post looks that way, it was supposed to say

Device 0 = Cayman
Device 1 = AMD Phenom [[ X6 1100T Processor

I took my computer into a store and they gave me a new motherboard and 4 AMD Radeon 6950's, they built it all for me because I didn't know how, got a big 1600W power supply to go with it.  Wasn't cheap and they took 3 weeks to build it, crazy.

So I brought it home and I execute the phoenix command line like so:

phoenix.exe -u http://WORKERNAME:WORKERPASSWORD@pool.bitclockers.com:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11 DEVICE=0

And it starts hashing at 260Mhash/second which I know is 1 card working.

But it's like the other 3 cards aren't activated

  • Cayman
  • [1] AMD Phenom [[ X6 1100T Processor

    Those are the only 2 devices listed.  Can anyone explain to me how to active the other 3 cards?  I can't take this computer back to the store - I will blow my brains out.

    Please help, I would really really appreciate it.

    Any help, really.  Thanks so much guys.
