Re: [1400 GH/s] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); NEW temporary URL api3.bitcoin.cz
fux how long has this been down for its literally 100+ degrees in california.. if this is going to be down ill just power off the pc i cant even see how many coins i earned or nothing.. f*ck f*ck f*ck
I'm looking to sell my basically brand new 5970. It was bought off newegg about a week or two ago and I only used it once to make sure it worked. I tested overclocking it for about a minute at 850/300 and it worked perfectly.
One of these cards can easily pull 800+ megahash a sec. It's competition the 6990 can easily go for 850+ bucks so a 5970 is the way to go if your looking for mass megahash with little bulk.
I'm looking for bitcoins or cash. My asking price is $475 and this includes shipping to continental us.
Let me know if your interested.
LOL wait up. How can you buy a discontinued card from newegg when its not even sold there??? One of these cards can easily pull 800+ megahash a sec. It's competition the 6990 can easily go for 850+ bucks so a 5970 is the way to go if your looking for mass megahash with little bulk.

(update I see they are selling these again wow!!!)
If you bought it from newegg 1 week ago for 3 weeks ago you can still get a refund
. The way things are going im kinda glad i never dove that far in on the more high end cardsi think what the OP is trying to say but is not so well at putting in words is. He would like to setup a bitcoin miner using a flashdrive instead of a hard drive.. Now I have setup https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9239.0 on a 8GB USB Key
Just so you can exclude the driver being too old, I suggest you go to this thread[1] and get LinuxCoin. You have there a video tutorial and if you read on you'll see exactly how to create a USB disk from the ISO file (you can do it in Windows pretty easy). I can vouch that my 5830 xtreme can be overclocked to 1020 without BIOS editing, using LinuxCoin and the commands that I pasted.
If it still doesn't work, then it's hardware related and you might want to edit your BIOS.

I dont want to jump ship and use what there is limited support for.. not many use linuxcoin. I will go about editing the bios.. I gotta shutdown thee old machine.. slap in a hd install windows and use this rbe editor and then bootup off the usb key and remote back in and see whats cookin in the kitchen.
Probably will not be able to get 1000mhz ...
This is simply just not true.
I have 14 5830s, and 12 are running at 1020/300. 1 is at 995 and the other is at 1000.
I hate this lol!! i feel like im so close.. If this wont budge then I might have to install windows and use RBE to do something to make this run faster in ubuntuHi guys Ive searched on this forum, and I dont think ive found the right firmware... I bought 2 sapphire extreme 5830s from newegg. the Max I was able to get was 900MHZ, now I wanted to go with 1,000MHZ but i couldnt it said it was locked. I tried every firmware I could find and ended up nuking the cards *ie they display nothing flashed wrong firmware* So I got my money back and bought the same cards else where for $40+ cheaper win win... So now im pushing stock and 2 cards is yielding 467 Hash... The cooling i have a stock fan a thermaltake case v4 and some fans for the gpu the coolest ive seen this thing if i remember is 60 - 65C during the day it runs a nice 70c - 74c some cases ive seen it go up to 84c.
win win... So now im pushing stock and 2 cards is yielding 467 Hash...

Probably will not be able to get 1000mhz I have 9 of them cards and tried almost every combination possible of BIOSs I edited using the RBE on windows then flashed to them. The best I can get out of them is using a single card in a machine then it will do 1000mhz, 300mhz memory if I try putting two 1000mhz cards in the one machine then they will lock up within seconds. Now running them at the 900,300 combo they run forever at them speeds get 291mh/s out of those and the one card I have at 1000 mhz 317mh/s. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 for the OS on all miners. For the temps most I ever seen during this past summer was low to mid 80s now it is cooling off with fall coming on they are low 70s with the odd high 60s depends where the card is located on the boards. In short if you have access to windows machine then get the Radeon BIOS Editor get the BIOS off the cards then edit it to the 900,300 combo flash them with it and you should be good to go.
OMG Thank you! and ovidiusoft and Bkkcoins the 3 more important and influentual advice here. ok so my response to you is I am on the same freakin boat.. My next step was exactly to do that. Use RBE on a windows box and also dump the bios just incase, like last time I bought 2 cards from newegg we flashed it with the wrong bios and could not find the original bios ***ANYWHERE*** so in the end it went back to newegg :-) and alas I found 2 extremes that someone bought from newegg. Now I dont know if im shooting in the dark but I can find the part # off the box and hopefully that tells us what this card can take?
@ Ovidiusoft
this is what happened when I enter your commands.

My psu can take it OCZ 1250w modular. and its only 2 cards.
@ bkkcoins im on ubuntu 11.04 natty my friend pretty much helped me setup my rig with this guide https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7514.0 . now it seems to be dated and im all ears on what your doin on your rig.. do i need to update my ubuntu?. and other packages running to get some more optimal hashing?. If any of you guys got IM or something let me know.
Thanks :-) Elusion
yeah and this is what i get when i try to aticonfig
ah missed the linux part. Your only option then I believe is aticonfig

and trixx runs in a headles ubuntu setup??? im not running any gui btw
use trixx
ok does anyone out there know how to get a faster clockspeed? im now pushing around 200-220 Mhash @ 70c - 72c this is not right! the max that this will take is 800 now how can you overclock this in linux.. do i need to flash the vbios? any suggestions thanks

Exactly...
What sucks is that there are people who want to REALLY buy bitcoins who are not fraudsters and willing to pay a premium but they can't because the fraudsters outbid or use the buy it now... I went as high as $27 buy it now for one BTC book including a bonus btc and again, the phrase was not sent so I never sent the BTC... it starts making my perfect feedback account look shitty.
We need some alternative to sell btc to newbs easily over the net.

Really?? If I ever buy a bitcoin it will be less than market value.. Anyone who "Pays" premium dont know what theyre about to remorse. now BTC is worth about 8 bucks! and the way the mining is panning out I just pray I can make my electricity costs..

Is this how you're trying to overclock them?
See what LinuxCoin is using. Whatever version of drivers/software they're using allows one to bypass the limits without changing the firmware.

Lowering the memory clock will decrease the temperature significantly.
yeah similar this is whats going on....

what are you using to overclock?
trixx will go to 1020 at least no problem
set to 1020/325

Im using ubuntu and the amd ati overdrive utility unless this trixx runs in ubuntu command line???
Hi guys Ive searched on this forum, and I dont think ive found the right firmware...

Question is how can I get 300 Hash per card?.
I hear people talking about it, but I have yet to achieve even 288. Im running Ubuntu Linux on a usb drive using phoenix.. i can get the exact version and details later on this evening.
What firmware could I flash these 5830 Extremes to achieve a better hash?.
What kind of cooling do you guys use or suggest? I have some 90mm or 120mm fans but I dont think thats cutting it..
Does anyone use a corsair h50 or h60 watercooling setup?. I havent really gone this route but since the GPU is the hottest thing id figure a watercooled setup would bring down the temps / noise dramatically I assume?.
below is a pic of my rig in short this is what im running.

what worse could happen is bitcoin price crashes and you are left with some oversized heaters...
I know which is why im really having a hard time trying to spend money on a faster card than my stock 5830...
